We only went here as it was nearby our hotel, but so glad we did! We bought the vegan caramel shortbread, vegan cookies and cream brownie and my partner bought a pecan pie (not vegan). The caramel shortbread was absolutely amazing, reminded me of the ones I had as a kid, with buttery shortbread and a delicious caramel. Then had a bite of the brownie which was so so fudgey and moorish and almost went back to buy another one it was that tasty.
I wasn't bothered about checking this out originally from the photos here, the gingerbread man makes it seem like there isnt a lot, but there are so many things inside! Also do takeaway coffees and have a whole foods section in the back. Would go again!
Great selection of vegan canned foods, candy and dips. They have some fresh vegan baked goods. The gingerbread man (not labeled) and the Oreo brownie (labeled vegan) were good!
As the title says, they have a few vegan baked goods. When I went, they had vegan cookies and cream brownies, vegan peanut butter brownies and vegan gingerbread man. I decided to sample them all and they were all lovely. The brownies were a bit dry and cake like (rather than fudgey) but were much nicer when microwaved.
Updating previous review - cafe and shop definitely improving for vegans! The cafe now has 3 vegan cakes (brownie, plain flapjack, fruit flapjack)and all are excellent. Their sourdough bread is always great and very reasonably priced. There are now many more supplies in the shop including vegan cheese, various tofu, vegan pepperoni. A bit expensive but understandable for a small shop. One of the people working there is vegan and has been encouraging improvements! And everyone working there is lovely and friendly. Would still go to Sham City for coffee and cake for preference (support vegan businesses) but Judges is great when Sham is shut and has lots of things you could take on a picnic.
The breads are delicious and all vegan. I particularly like the seven seed sourdough and the special walnut bread (both only available at weekends). Otherwise vegan options are limited, although they have just started doing a vegan chocolate brownie which is good so keep asking!
Judges Bakery is minutes from where I live and they continue to be the place where I most often buy bread. It's usually a large white sandwich! But sometimes its the whole-wheat sandwich. Recently, the bakery changed hands and its in transition from an organic bakery and shop to a bakery and cafe.
