Lidl is well renowned for being one of the most budget-friendly supermarkets in the UK, but there is one feature that brings in the customers. The supermarket's bakery has in some ways become an icon to the British Highstreet, once upon a time it was the Wilko pick ‘n’ mix, but now it seems children would much prefer a Lidl cookie over a cup of sweets. The German supermarket’s bakery brings in thousands of customers every year, from workers grabbing a quick breakfast to peckish school kids buying a sweet treat that doesn’t break the bank.
As someone who will happily admit that they have spent many times at a Lidl bakery for a quick lunch to go, I’ve always had one question, is everything at Lidl’s bakery good? Well, as a fan of baked goods, I was more than happy to find out the answer for myself and head down to my local Lidl to buy every sweet and savoury treat and taste them, here’s what I thought. Before we get into it, I feel I have to say that while I wish I did, I did not eat it all by myself, if I did I probably would still be eating everything now as I write. I’m not a massive pretzel fan but I was very surprised that I really liked Lidl’s take, the snack was salty but not too much and perfectly soft inside, with just the right amount of chew.
4/5. I will admit, when I go to Lidl, this is my go-to bakery item, the goat's cheese makes the sweet and savoury taste of tomatoes and pesto the perfect blend. The dough is always so soft and just amazing.
5/5.
