  • Ashley Parbhoo

Tasty sweet and savoury treats on offer. There is an area outside the store to eat bought items as well. Coffees and teas are for sale sale as well as sandwiches. Custom cakes can be ordered a day in advance but a meeting with them is required. Closes late at night and ample parking on the road is available.

Thank you for the beautiful cake, it was absolutely divine and the perfect for my parents who are diabetic, however a little disappointed in the fresh cream as it did not taste or feel like 100% fresh cream... Nevertheless it was still lovely, will be back for more of your wide variety of tasty treats. More

Thank you for a most amazing birthday cake! It was fresh vanilla sponge covered in luscious fresh cream, absolutely fantastic! Everyone wanted a second helping! It was exactly as ordered and certainly delivered in terms of taste and appearance. Many thanks to Sonja and her team!! …

Had high expectations for this place based on my previous visits but it just wasn't the same. Got a selection of savoury pies and all of them were lacking. Some were too salty, some had chunks of fat for meat and some just tasted like the filling was old. A real disappointment.

  • Abrar

The quintessential bakery and pastry shop, open 24 hours a day. Croissants, french bread, donuts, pastries, donut centers and much more all baked fresh. Order gluten free bread. Coffee shop and seating available to eat on site or take away. #halal.

  • Ingrid Burton

It's been quite a while since I last visited The Bread Mill, but after a friend invited me for a Catch-up and Coffee, I headed out to the buzzing bakery that had me drooling, struggling to make a decision on which tasty treat to surprise

  • L Govender

Absolutely appalled at the management today at The Bread Mill. Speedpoints were not working and to say staff could care less about multiple customers filling up the lines is an understatement. They are blatantly rude and dont know how to

Bread mill never disappoints! I love the softness and freshness of the cakes! This morning I was at bread mill by botanical gardens and Thandiwe’s treatment puzzled me. She needs to work on her people’s skills and be more respectful!

  • Zakaria “Zak” Munsoor

The milk tart tastes better than woolworths, spa, picknpay, etc. Delicious. Not forgetting the pies. An absolute delicacy. One of the last few pies on this planet that actually taste the part. These pies actually have filling.

  • Mikhal van Zyl

The freshest breads in town... the fact that they are open 24/7 is such a blessing. It is always safe here; police get free coffee so they are always hovering around the shop and the car guards are on top of their game. More

  • Sameshan Govender

It's a nice place to go when you want to treat yourself. Love the Jam Squares, absolutely devine, right to the last bite. Not much of a fan of the cakes, I feel the texture of the cakes can use a lot of improvement.

  • Katie Askegaard

So many amazing baked treats that it’s hard to decide what to get! I tried a cream filled croissant which was delightful as well as a slice of caramel cake which was pretty good, but a bit on the dry side.

  • JJ Klopper

I need to review this bakery properly. Love, love, love their food.... Their pies are to die for. Super delicious. Bought from them many times and worth every cent. Clean, helpful, and excellent service.

  • Sarc Sarc

I ordered and paid for my order 16 hours ahead of time, being told it would be ready the next morning. However, when I attempted to pick it up, they had not even begun to prepare my order.

  • Phiwokuhle Selomane

I bought 60 croissants cocktail , R11.90 ea.The quality was poor, the sizes were varied , not crispy/flacky & light to the bitezzssx the inside was dense or heavy. Not money well spent.

  • Joe Dlamini

This place is hard to resist. Anything made of flour turns into an irresistible treat. Parking on the main road is a bit of an issue. Their 24-hour service is most valuable.

  • Niriksha Singh

Birthday cake ordered was not deocrated well and didnt look like what is was meant to - yet it was a simple structured cake- disproportionate icing etc- taste was adequate-

  • Zeenath Sheik Hameed

Never know what to choose when I'm here. Pies, cakes, pastries, donuts, lemon meringue, milk tart and so on. The choices are endless... and everything oh so tasty...

  • Pillay

Beautiful range of cakes. The pies are also delicious. Off street parking with a visible security guard. I would like them to bake cakes with less sugar.

Recently this place has just been awful. Bought pastries that were super underdone, every time we purchased. As a bakery,
