Epic vegan pastries and bakes!

Pistachio croissant remains my classic favourite, but have enjoyed so many delicious specials - notably tiramisu croissant, raspberry cheesecake croissant and lemon cheesecake croissant.

Pros: Delicious, Generous portion sizes, Have enjoyed pretty much every sweet treat

Cons: Savoury items little more hit or miss at times

Delicious and unique!

Omg fantastic food. We had a delicious pizza with black olives, almonds, tomato, garlic, vegan cheese and rocket. Also an amazing potato dauphinois danish pastry with vegan cream cheese and chives. So many other amazing things including gorgeous cakes and drinks.

tasty treats

I have visited Rita's bakehouse a few time now. The quality of the pastries is amazing. There isn't lots of choice, but is that a bad thing? The pistachio filled croissant was my favorite. They are quite expensive, but as a treat its okay.

Pros: good options

Cons: Parking is terrible

Dreamy pastries

I haven't been able to have a pistachio croissant since going vegan 5 years ago... until I visited Lovely Rita's & it was everything I wanted it to be. Also had one of their vegan sandwiches, which was also lush. I will be back !

One of the best bakeries in the north

Love it in here. There's a huge variety of bakes, mostly sweet with some savoury, the sandwiches are so good when they're on and the barista drinks are top quality. The bakes are not cheap but you get a lot for your money and you can tell your non-vegan friends "you can't tell they're vegan".

They also supply a lot of places in Sheffield with their vegan bakes so if you're out and the vegan croissant's really good, it might well be Rita's.

Delightful, totally delightful

Yum yum yum. It's dangerous that lovely Rita's is now 5 mins from my house that's for sure. Flaky pastry, delicious fillings and great coffee! Win!

Amazing place!

I'm wildly in love with the beautiful baked goods at Lovely Rita's Bakehouse. I tried the Snickers Croissant (epic!) and the almond chocolatini (stunning) but best of all was the HUGE delicious pistachio croissant. I need to go back very soon and try everything else!

Pros: 100% vegan, Friendly vibe, Vegan bakery

Lovely indeed!

I’ve wanted to visit for sometime and luckily finally got around to it today. I would recommend going early as they do sell out, a good sign that the products are delicious! I had a lemon cheesecake croissant, my friend opted for the same it looked that good, and we enjoyed those out in the courtyard where bench seating and tables are provided. The pastry was so light and flaky, the creamy lemon cheesecake filling absolutely scrumptious. Of course I was going to takeaway some treats too! The lemon and raspberry swirl was enjoyed by my daughter and the pain au chocolat I have to look forward to for brekkie tomorrow. Highly recommend visiting, the pastries are excellent. They also sell drinks, coffee, savoury pastries and fresh bread. No indoor seating area, shop itself is quite small. There is a communal toilet in the courtyard area, but if you like clean loos I would give this one a miss. On street parking.

Flavourful treats - 4.5 stars

Got a sourdough loaf, almond croissant and a ginger cupcake with lime frosting (I think, can't remember the whole name).

Sourdough loaf has a thin and crisp outer exterior, the interior is doughy, partner loves it, I just liked the crusts.

Almond croissant is very strong in flavour, it's lovely, almost syrupy sweet, it is oily though and the inside had some filling, maybe marzipan - we did not like that, the exterior of the croissant and the almond flavour were the best elements.

The cupcake was the best out of the three - it's a heavy and dense cupcake but it tasted great, loved the flavours throughout.

Lovely bakes just not many left when we got there

We were really excited to try some bakes however as we didn't get there until about 12oclock on a Friday there wasn't much choice left. However the croissant, bagel croissant and pan au chocolate were all lovely as was the hot drinks we tried.

Pros: Reasonably priced, All vegan

Cons: Make sure you are there early to get the choice

Fantastic takeout.

06.04.24 popped in to buy bread and couldn't resist their donut of the day. It was delicious.

23.3.2024 popped in for pastries to take home. The almond croissant was delicious, and B had the apple tart and loved it.

12.11.2023 Had the day off on Friday so popped over to Lovely Rita’s to grab a takeout. Couldn’t decide what to have so asked for one of everything. All delicious but my fave was the iced stuffed doughnut mmm.
Tiny area inside for queuing and ordering but worth it.

Love coming here for my weekly loaf and treats.
Today we swapped out the usual sour dough loaf and took away a sweeter bread loaf, looking forward to trying that later.
We had a savoury treat each for brunch:
B had a cheese and onion tart = very tasty and looked good. I had a cheese and marmite swirl = delicious, loved it.
Dessert later on at home was the ginger cake, and a lemon and raspberry swirl. We shared these two = proper ginger cake, dark and tasty; the L&R swirl was a gorgeous colour inside, zesty and fresh.

Saturday 8 June 2024 - here we are again :)
Sourdough loaf plus 2x cheese and marmite pastries, and 2x vanilla donuts. All of it delicious as usual. I love the cheese and marmite swirls, hope they're here to stay.

So much choice

We had the snickers pain au chocolate, normal pain au chocolate and a ring donut and it was all really lovely. There was so much choice for sweet stuff and even had an amazing looking (and smelling) garlic bread so we'll try that next time!

Pros: Choice, Flavours, Nice location

Scrummy yummy bakery

Amazing bakery at an amazing price with really friendly staff. All bakery products are made on site with a daily changing selection. Unlike a lot of vegan pastries nothing has been compromised specifically the taste which makes this place extra special. Very glad it is not closer to where I live in Sheffield otherwise I would be coming daily, highly recommend even if you have to walk far to get there.
