Greggs - is it just me?

[Yass6]

Or is it really over-rated? I’ve given up now, as every time I get a pastry it is lukewarm at best. The bacon rolls used to be nice but the bread is so floury now and I really don’t get the appeal over the sausage rolls.

Love Greggs. It’s not fine dining but really reasonably priced compared to most places and tasty.

They do sell bread…

but maybe I’m lucky because I’m in Newcastle and we have the best and the most Greggs!

I only go in for a coffee when I get a free one. Their jam biscuits are nice but I prefer the other bakeries in town for everything else.

We love Greggs, corned beef bake for me and sausage rolls for the dc. I usually try to use independent places but I live in Newcastle so it does kind of feel like supporting local!

I know a lot of people who work for them, good company to work for and support a lot of causes, and if you happen to get there as they've just put out freshly baked goods it's amazing!

Greggs is alright but I prefer Baynes. Unfortunately there aren't too many of those and no sit-in facilities. Their filled rolls are lush though. 😋

Vegan sausage roll for me. I do wish it was hot though!

A hot food outlet that has to wait until their products are cold before they can sell them, without attracting extra taxes.........................This manky country in a nutshell now ?!

Greggs is amazing, I go at least twice a week. It’s now taken over McDonald’s in terms of popularity. About fucking time McDonalds is so “mid”

Vile.. if im getting a sausage roll it’s got to be wenzels!

Years ago I remember an awful flight home from a lovely holiday, very delayed because of weather issues, as we walked through the Arrivals door there were a Greggs and a Costa facing us, we thought we'd died and gone to heaven, we were so hungry!

Just discovered the vegetable slice

it’s so good

Me too!

being vegetarian there's never anything hot anymore.

They are allowed to keep hot things hot, they’d just have to pay more tax. So they’d rather keep the price down and not sell hot food.

It is good HOT.

Oh no wonder the veg bake was gross the other day. Duh me.

Bloody love Greggs. Never had anything from there I didn't like. Baguette and a coffee, excellent lunch on my busy out and about work days. Plus the app is great, I'm always getting free stuff.
Team Greggs here 💯

I love the chicken bakes 😋

they were very warm it’s a busy Greggs (I don’t know a Greg’s that isn’t busy) mayeb that’s the difference

I had no idea that they didn’t serve hot food as everything I’ve bought has always been at least warm unless not meant to be

I used to enjoy the odd bacon bap from them but I noticed the staff never wash their hands/wear gloves and go from opening the roll to the till to handling loose change. It's not very nice. Parsons Bakery much better

Corned beef pasties are lush.

Our one 'bakes' them very early in the morning, then they sit there getting colder & colder.

ours is pretty busy, but I'm guessing lots of nest eaters, so get topped up?!

it's good really because I then don't buy/eat them 🤣

Their sausage rolls are greasy loveliness 😜

I love the cheese pizzas - not like a proper pizza, more like a school pizza from the 90’s - weird but yummy !

I always wondered why everything was cold - now I know !

I absolutely love their vegan sausage rolls. I'm not even vegan, though I am vegetarian.

Oh I love a chicken bake/sausage roll/Tottenham cake (still served in London)! I won't say a bad word about Greggs. And I guess the ones I go to are very busy so the hot food doesn't sit around long enough to go cold.
