Why Choose Red Poppy Bakery?

Red Poppy Bakery in Hughesdale earns strong local praise for fresh, generously filled pies, particularly the steak and cheese, and crisp, well-made quiches.

About Red Poppy Bakery

The steak and cheese pie gets singled out at Red Poppy Bakery in Hughesdale, and pies are known for quality. One local called it the best they'd ever had, and another happily described the steak and pepper pie as having decent chunks of meat and being reasonably priced. Pasties and sausage rolls sit alongside them, and they suit the traditional, no-fuss feel of the place.

Beyond the pie warmer, there are quiches, muffins and pastries to explore. The quiches, spinach and vegetable among them, get praise for a flaky, crisp crust and a fresh, eggy filling, though one visitor found them lightly seasoned. The vanilla slice offers crunchy pastry that isn't soggy and a good balance of custard to icing. Danish pastries and muffins turn up in people's favourites, and there are vegan and gluten-free options for anyone who needs them. The pork or chicken banh mi has its own following, with one regular calling it the absolute standout.

It's a takeaway-focused bakery, and most people are in and out with bread, pies or rolls. Coffee and breakfast are on offer as well, and the coffee is noted for being very good. Opinion on the hot food is a little mixed, so you may do better sticking with the baked goods and pies than ordering a toasted sandwich or wrap. Service has been described as friendly and the shop is clean, though it can get busy.

Paying is easy with cards and tap-and-go mobile payments, and there's free street parking nearby, which helps on a quick bakery run. The bakery in Hughesdale is also an easy stop if you're passing through on the train. Check the hours before you go, since they're open through the week and on weekends.
