TheDorkyFrench vegan bakery

TheDorkyFrench vegan bakery has established itself as one of Glasgow's most celebrated vegan bakeries, consistently earning exceptional praise for its quality pastries that reviewers find hard to believe are vegan. The bakery has been described as one of the favorite vegan finds in Glasgow, a personal favorite, and a must-visit destination, with reviewers expressing their obsession and love for the establishment.

The pastries at TheDorkyFrench receive outstanding reviews, with everything described as perfection, absolutely fantastic, absolutely delicious, and DIVINE. The bakery offers a lovely choice of freshly baked items including croissants, turnovers, pain au chocolates, cookies, brownies, and bread, providing so much variety that reviewers note it's not often where there's too much choice for a vegan. The quality is such that reviewers consistently express amazement that it's all vegan, with one reviewer noting you really cannot believe it's vegan.

Specific pastries receive particular acclaim, with the apple turnover described as absolutely delicious, featuring crispy and soft pastry with the perfect balance of tart but sweet apples inside. The almond croissant is described as flavourful and not too sickly, with all of the right textures and taste to fool any non-vegan. The hazelnut pain au chocolat is described as DIVINE, and the sausage roll croissant is described as the most delicious breakfast you could have, with one reviewer noting they think about it often. The savoury pastries are described as just as addicting as the sweet ones, demonstrating the bakery's ability to excel across both categories.

The bakery offers a range of fully vegan savoury and sweet dishes, and the iced coffees receive positive feedback. The establishment's commitment to vegan baking while maintaining exceptional quality has earned it a dedicated following, with one reviewer noting they go straight from the airport every time they land in Glasgow and have even packed pastries in luggage to bring to family in their home country.

The bakery is described as a cute little cafe, though seating is limited with only 2-3 spaces if you're looking to sit in, though reviewers note it is doable. The limited seating suggests the bakery is primarily designed for takeaway, which suits many customers.

One area that has received feedback is the gluten-free options. While the bakery offers gluten-free items like brookies and brownies, there have been reports that these items need to be heated before eating (as noted in the box instructions) to achieve the best texture. When not heated, these items can be hard and dry, which was disappointing for a customer who purchased them to eat while out rather than at home with access to heating equipment. However, when heated as per instructions, the items are described as absolutely delicious. The heating requirement isn't mentioned on the website, which could lead to customer disappointment if they're expecting items that can be eaten immediately.

For visitors to Glasgow, TheDorkyFrench has become a destination that many feel is essential to experience, particularly for those seeking vegan options. The bakery's ability to deliver exceptional quality pastries that are hard to believe are vegan, combined with great variety and both sweet and savoury options, has earned it enthusiastic recommendations. Whether you're seeking vegan pastries, a must-visit bakery experience, or simply some of the best baked goods in Glasgow, TheDorkyFrench consistently delivers experiences that reviewers describe as perfection and absolutely fantastic. The combination of quality, variety, and vegan commitment makes it a standout and highly recommended establishment in Glasgow's bakery scene.
