To ask if your Aldi has a Lidl style bakery

I’ve heard that Aldi is rolling out bakeries more similar to the Lidl bakeries where they sell fresh individual bakes. Do you have one near you? Where are they? What are they like??

None in ours and it's a big store opened just a couple years ago. I've switched to Morissons which I thought I'd never do as our Morissons used to be awful. But since the fruit and veg at Aldi has got worse and worse (esp. grapes for some reason) Morissons is always fresh and lasts a reasonable amount of time.

No bakery in our Aldi. I'd go there a lot more if it did have one tbh as the Lidl bakery is great but Aldi is closer to us.

Ours does, it's the Sevenoaks one (although not in central Sevenoaks).

BaronessBomburst · 03/03/2026 18:03

Ours does. Teen DS is the expert on supermarket bakkeries and tells me that it's way better than Morrisons, although not as good LIDL.

I would love this as my Aldi doesn’t have one & Lidl isn’t very close. I think Lidl has the best supermarket bakery

Bellavida99 · 03/03/2026 17:37

Ours has in Essex it was added to the store about a year ago. I go to Lidl more though as car park at Lidl has huge spaces and I’m a rubbish driver 😂

ChrisPriss · 03/03/2026 17:26

Just wanted to say I love Lidl cheese twists and would like Aldi to have a bakery also!

Gonnagetgoingreturnsagain · 03/03/2026 17:15

When! My other local in South Norwood has one too I never knew.

Gonnagetgoingreturnsagain · 03/03/2026 17:14

Our local one in bell green has one and I had no idea it did have one!

An Aldi has just opened near me, (2 weeks ago) and it has a bakery. St Leonards-on-sea, East Sussex.

@Bjorkdidit Hertford definitely has one and apparently maybe some of the London stores?

Yeah, looks like it's a London/south/south east or East Anglia thing. I almost never go to those places.

Has anyone seen one anywhere else?

RudolphTheReindeer · 03/03/2026 16:30

We have one in ours (England). My dd says the croissants are the best ever. I tend to avoid it because it's all too tempting

Pineapples123 · 03/03/2026 16:12

We have one in Cambridgeshire

mcmuffin22 · 03/03/2026 16:10

Ours does! Hertfordshire. The bakery is great - really nice pastries and amazing donuts, rolls, etc

DaveMinion · 03/03/2026 16:03

We have 2 in my town. The old one doesn't but the one that opened a few months ago does and it's great. The cheese pretzels are amazing.

I don’t think that the bakery in Hertford Aldi is that great. I prefer Lidl’s in Welwyn Garden City.

Travellingraspberry · 03/03/2026 15:58

One in our town in Suffolk does. Its a newish store but wasn't built work one, they only put one in when a Lidl was opening up in the same area of town!

GardenersDelight · 03/03/2026 15:56

Our aldi does, very similar to lidls which we also have. Newish store but bakery was added about 18 months ago
Small Suffolk town

x2boys · 03/03/2026 15:46

No but I have Aldi five mins in one direction and lidl five mins in the other direction so im spoilt for choice

VegQueen · 03/03/2026 15:45

My local one does in north London and has for years.

SweetBaklava · 03/03/2026 15:44

Three ALDIs near where we live (outer London) and none of them have a bakery - v annoying!!

7238SM · 03/03/2026 15:43

My 2 closest Aldi's don't have bakeries- SE coast, 80miles from London.

GasPanic · 03/03/2026 15:41

New one within range of me did not have a bakery added.

Quite annoying.

GoldenCupsatHarvestTime · 03/03/2026 15:41

Yes it has had one for years

CheeseAndJamSandwiches · 03/03/2026 15:38

One of the Norwich Aldis has a bakery does lovely Portuguese custard tarts but the Aldi I like to go to doesn’t have the bakery. Don’t think there’s space to add a bakery in my branch so it’s probably only new stores will have them
