The Telegraph recently unveiled its list of the top bakeries in the UK, and Ty Melin Bakery in Wales secured a spot among the esteemed dozen. Described as ‘worth queuing up for’ by the renowned news outlet, the bakery has garnered praise for its culinary delights.

Founded by the dynamic duo of Angharad Conway and Lance Gardner, Ty Melin Bakery opened its doors in 2021 in Cardiff Bay. Since then, it has expanded to three locations across south Wales, including Abergavenny and Wellfield Road in Cardiff, the latter being specifically mentioned in the article.

Conway and Gardner, who bonded over their shared passion for baking in 2016, boast impressive resumes with stints in top culinary establishments across the UK under renowned chefs. Their decision to join forces and establish Ty Melin Bakery came shortly after the onset of the Covid-19 pandemic.

Ty Melin Bakery offers a diverse array of pastries, cakes, and breads, but it is perhaps best known for its signature ‘croissant bomb,’ which has earned accolades for being crafted with love. The Telegraph particularly commended the bakery’s impeccably textured sourdough bread.

Expressing gratitude on social media, Ty Melin Bakery thanked its loyal customers and dedicated staff for helping put Wales on the map as a destination for exceptional bread, pastries, and cakes. The post garnered an outpouring of supportive comments from patrons, affirming the bakery’s well-deserved recognition.
