Orange Bakery

By far the best pain au chocolat I have ever eaten.

Get there first thing in the morning as a queue forms before opening. Worth it though! Excellent baked items.

When we arrived in Watlington there was a humongous queue. On the way back there was only a small queue and having never visited before we decided we must join the queue! We were not disappointed the sausage rolls were beasts and the sweet pastries were amazing! Get there for opening if you are hoping for a good spread. They close once they sell out which sometimes only takes a few hours!

Having read Breadsong (the most beautiful book I have ever read) we were impelled to visit the shop. What an absolute delight to meet Kitty, Al and Katie. Clearly passionate about their food and then getting a glimpse through the window of the bread and pastries on offer it was obvious why there is always a queue - until sold out.
Would the food live up to our expectations? Absolutely! We bought quite a selection between us and enjoyed everything.
If you live in the area lucky you, if not make a special journey, ours was a 150 mile round trip but well worth it. We will return....

If bakeries would be awarded Michelin stars like restaurants, Orange Bakery should be awarded with highest accolade of 3 stars - “Exceptional, worth a special journey.”

Earth shatteringly good bread and don't forget the sausage rolls too!

It's just the best! The focaccia is to die for...
Just make sure you get there early and be ready to do a bit of queue.

I visited this incredible bakery for the sourdough, but was tempted by the beautiful focaccia... Let me tell you, it did not disappoint!! This may be the most delicious focaccia I've ever tasted- it's soft with a delightful crust on the edges, a perfect chew and moisture, and the flavour is unreal.

I can't tell you enough how thrilled I am to have found this wonderful bakery! From the kind and helpful staff to the beautiful and tempting displays to the delicious treats... Run, don't walk, and visit this treasure!
