About this bakery

About The Artisan Baker

The Artisan Baker is a Gloucestershire bakery and coffee shop business whose Cheltenham shop sits in The Quadrangle on Imperial Square. It sells its own fresh baking alongside coffee, with click and collect also offered. Expect craft-led baking rather than mass-produced lines.

The Artisan Baker is open 7 days a week. Mornings start at 8am on its earliest day. It also opens on Sundays, which is not a given for UK bakeries. Food hygiene officers from Cheltenham rated it 5 – Very good when they inspected on 26 March 2025.

Cheltenham Spa station sits around 0.9 mi away – allow 24 minutes if you walk. It is not the only option nearby: there are 8 more bakeries within a kilometre, so a bakery crawl is easily done.
