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??

Yes ours does and it’s pretty much identical to the Lidl bakeries.

CaptainMyCaptain · 03/03/2026 15:25

We have a brand new large Aldi and it doesn't have a bakery.

MoFadaCromulent · 03/03/2026 15:26

No ours doesn't and it annoys me daily

TsunamiTsunami · 03/03/2026 15:27

Ours does not either

FurForksSake · 03/03/2026 15:27

@Helpless25 is it any good? Are you able to share county? Or region so I can work out if I can do a road trip? 🤣

I think I've only seen bakeries in Aldis in other countries, not the UK.

FurForksSake · 03/03/2026 15:30

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

I’m in Bedfordshire, the store was built a couple of years ago. They do bread, pretzels, muffins, doughnuts, cookies, cheese twists, pizzas etc

FurForksSake · 03/03/2026 15:37

@Helpless25 lovely. I’m in a city not a million miles away. I know at least two in Bedford that do not, so I can narrow it down a bit 🤣🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻

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

GoldenCupsatHarvestTime · 03/03/2026 15:41

Yes it has had one for years

GasPanic · 03/03/2026 15:41

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

Quite annoying.

7238SM · 03/03/2026 15:43

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

SweetBaklava · 03/03/2026 15:44

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

VegQueen · 03/03/2026 15:45

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

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

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

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!

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

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.

mcmuffin22 · 03/03/2026 16:10

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

Pineapples123 · 03/03/2026 16:12

We have one in Cambridgeshire

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

Bjorkdidit · 03/03/2026 16:37

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?

CustardySergeant · 03/03/2026 17:09

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