Joe's Bakery sits proudly on Gloucester Road, attracting regular locals and those coming from a little further away who want to enjoy fresh bakes and some Bristol history. The bakery has a history dating back to the 1800s, and claims to be the oldest in Bristol.
It has been owned and run by Martin and Jane Hunt since 1990, and they have taken pride in ensuring it has the same community presence at the heart of Gloucester Road. And this is done by not only serving Bristol delicious baked goods, but by using locals suppliers as much as possible.
Joe's Bakery serve up the type of goods you would expect; with shelves stocked with pastries, sweet treats and pizzas - whilst behind the tills is home to a host of fresh bread. I visited before the lunch time rush, hoping to get my hands on the best products before they disappeared.
