Bakery Andante Review

Jon is an amazing Baker. I remember when he opened. The food is amazing

Excellent bread & the staff in the shop and on the market stalls are lovely & happy to make suggestions if you need them. Hard to pick a favourite but I can highly recommend the New York Deli Style, as well as their signature Covenantors. The cheese straw 'sticks' are almost addictive...approach with caution! :-) It's also been great that they've offered home delivery during this covid-19 emergency.

Whatever you sold me on a Farmer's Market looked like a tasty and crispy bread. I tried it straight after I came home and already struggled to cut it. I cannot even squeeze it this morning - it's like a brick! My very first Google review but I wanted to make sure you know that I am feeling cheated for buying your bread. Never again...

A bit overpriced not many olives in the olive bread

Fantastic artisan bread. I recommend their massive rye sourdough (covenanted) , you can ask for a quarter and they charge by weight, which is great in case you get a massive air bubble on your bread! Range of delicious breads and pastries. More

Excellent range of tasty bread and yummy pastries - highly recommended. Friendly and helpful staff.

No...too much sugar and yeast.not good and very very expensive.is just water and flour....and cost more than kilogram of beef.I can pay more for good bread but not if is full of sugar and yeast.

Some of the best bread in Edinburgh, for my money, and an enormous variety. The Covenanter sourdough is excellent with a lovely dark, malty crust. Brandy balls are pretty special too.

Sourdough and pastries always delicious. Fairly priced for what it is.

Good bakery with excellent bread. Sweets also very tasty, however they are pricey. 2quid for an almond croissant, which was tasty, but still expensive at that price.

Breads definitely tasty and so are the pastries. Unfortunately the place is full with flies sitting on the baked products. I was so disgusted last time I visited that I thought enough is enough. To top this up, the girl who serves at the counter touches bread with her bare hands. :( Very poor hygiene which is a shame for a place with so tasty bread. I am surprised none of the customers who go there never complained about the fact that bread lies there exposed to all these insects.

I was looking for an home bakery shop and came across Andante while walking in Morningside. As soon as I walked in I was struck by the beauty of the blond lady baker, which distracted me! I took a pastry with mixed vegetable in it, which by just looking at it looked really good, then I got a slice of pizza with mushrooms and peppers on it. I only then realized that all they make is vegetarian stuff. I was really disappointed by that! I paid by contactless, and while I was distracted by the lady's beauty she didn't say how much it was and I just paid. I then checked my bank account and I was charged almost 9 pounds for just 2 veggie things that I could have made at home for 3 pounds. They didn't even taste good, the vegetables were almost raw!!

I love the bread from here - especially the salt/rosemary sourdough always on the front counter. I frequently take it up to my workplace where it is devoured by my workmates. It is so delicious that it can be eaten on its own without anything to accompany it.

Amazing bread and really nice service, a bit overpriced

Amazing! Other bread is never the same after you try these loaves...

The words do not describe the taste of these products. Poetry.
Go, try it. They do not use baking enhancers.
I bought a 30% rye bread.
I'm looking for rye bread50%. Fresh is great.
My favorite is rye bread which is already one day after baking. Why?
Only then will you feel the real taste of bread. The acid and rye does its job.

I recommend these bakeries

One of the best bakeries in the city. Some may say a little expensive but it's no worse than the Waitrose round the corner for price but 100x better in quality.

The bread is prepared on premises and up to highest standards.

Lovely staff! Lovely bakes! Be prepared with pennies tho x

Great baked goods and lovely staff. The owner is very passionate about what he does

Fantastic selection of breads including an extensive range of sourdoughs.

Good bakery for Edinburgh standards but every time I go there on a weekend my orders are always either cold or a bit on the stale side. Could be the weekend, but I would expect a bakery to sell fresh and warm food every day.

Proper sourdough bread that you can trust has been made correctly - So lucky to have them in Morningside and Edinburgh. They are the only bakery I buy bread from!

Love the breads but let down by customer service. Had a problem with a product which I emailed them about. No offer to refund / properly explain which is a shame.

Nice enough place but disappointing on a Sunday morning that its advertised on the door that fresh coffee is available and yet none of the staff knew how to use the coffee machine...

Extremely expensive and the quality is just ok. I'll not spend my money here again

Best fresh bread in #Morningside. If you are in the area go there and buy some. Taste great fresh bakery treats as they're meant to be rather than as made in a factory. A huge plus for the local area.

Bought a nice sourdough loaf from here, quite delicious with firm crust. Staff were very polite, will definitely be back.

The only place in Morningside where you ll get beautiful bread made from scratch. Try their cheese sticks and keep an eye out for the bargain bin!

No much of a bakery if your too good too sell pies, no my cup of tea

The almond croissants and seeded baton are by far the best breads/pastry they have... Highly recommend this shop. The staff are also really kind and welcoming.

Good bread but very expensive, 3.45 for a small loaf, 5min away one of their competitors sells french homemade loafs twice the size for 1.95... I wont go back far too expensive.

Wonderful smell on entry and lovely service with a laugh and smile.

Best range of freshly baked breads,pastries etc ever....extremely friendly and helpful staff

The place to go for superdelicious bread & pastries.
