Lynn's Bakery in short

Lynn's Bakery is the Donnington parade counter run by a live limited company, selling everyday bakes over the shop counter rather than taking design-led orders online. Its strength is steadiness: a neighbourhood shop regulars return to, backed by the top hygiene mark, and in our view one of the most likeable counters in this round.

The record shows a Donnington parade counter at The Parade serving Telford walk-in customers, run by a live limited company with the shop itself as registered office [1] [3]. There is no website, menu or online ordering, so everyday bakes and celebration orders both go over the shop counter or down the phone line [3]. That makes it a counter-first business in a round full of order-ahead shops. The phone number sits on the Google listing for direct enquiries [3].

Reviewers rate it warmly, with 4.7 from 215 Google reviews, a strong showing for a single-counter bakery [3]. For a shop with no website to market itself, that average has been earned one visit at a time. In our view it is the round's word-of-mouth result.

What counts against it is how little exists on paper beyond the listing and the registers: no menu, no prices and no insurance details are published [3]. Our judgement is that Lynn's Bakery suits a walk-in celebration order from a well-reviewed local counter, not design browsing from the sofa.

Our verdict

Our judgement: Lynn's Bakery suits you if you want a long-standing Donnington bakery counter with a 4.7 Google average and a 5 hygiene rating behind it [2] [3]. The trade-off is a thin public footprint, with no working website, menu or prices to browse before you visit [3].

Questions about Lynn's Bakery

Is Lynn's Bakery any good?

On the evidence, yes as a neighbourhood counter: 4.7 from 215 Google reviews, the top hygiene mark and a live company record sit behind it [1] [2] [3]. There is no website, menu or prices to browse first. Phone the Donnington counter with your cake brief and judge the reply.

Is Lynn's Bakery registered with a food scheme?

It is listed on the Food Standards Agency hygiene register with a 5 rating, which is the top mark available [2]. That entry names the Donnington parade shop directly, so you can check it yourself by business name. Ask for the rating details when you phone your order through. The current entry follows an inspection in December 2024 [2].

What does Lynn's Bakery charge?

It publishes no menu, price list or quote route, so nothing about charges can be sourced from its pages [3]. Phone the counter with your servings and design and ask for the price before you commit. Get that figure confirmed on a written order. Celebration orders go the same way: describe the design down the phone and wait for the figure.

Where does Lynn's Bakery work?

It trades from The Parade in Donnington and serves Telford walk-in customers [1] [3]. There is no online ordering, so the counter visit is the whole transaction. Phone ahead to check opening times and same-week availability. Ask too whether your date is free for a celebration order. Allow time to queue on Saturdays.

How is Lynn's Bakery ranked?

It ranks second of the seven Telford cake makers in our September round, carried by warm customer evidence and the top hygiene mark against a thin website and pricing record. Read the full review, then phone the counter with your brief. The cards show the evidence behind every place in the table.

How do I get a quote from Lynn's Bakery?

By phone or over the counter: there is no menu, price list or online quote route to use first [3]. Ring the Donnington counter on the listing number with your servings, design and date, and ask for the price before you commit. Get that figure repeated on a written order, since nothing is published to check it against.

What do customers say about Lynn's Bakery?

Warm things: 4.7 from 215 Google reviews, a strong average for a single-counter bakery with no website behind it [3]. Reviewers keep returning to a neighbourhood shop rather than reviewing a single event cake. Read the recent reviews yourself, and remember the thin paperwork when you compare it with order-ahead rivals.

How does Lynn's Bakery compare with the other Telford cake makers?

It ranks second of the seven in our September round, behind Cake Box Telford on ordering convenience and pricing clarity with customer evidence nearly as warm. Against Eggless Cakeshop it trades the egg-free specialism for a top hygiene mark and a live company record. It is the round's counter-first pick in a field of order-ahead shops.
