LANNAN BAKERY NAMED ONE OF UK'S BEST
Beloved Scottish Bakery Lannan Named One of the UK’s Best
A bakery in Scotland renowned for its "incredible pastries" has been named one of the best in the entire UK. Lannan Bakery, located in the charming Stockbridge neighborhood of Edinburgh, has gained national recognition for its outstanding pastries and dedication to quality.
Founded by self-taught baker Darcie Maher, Lannan opened its doors in July 2023 and quickly became a local favorite. Specialiing in expertly crafted French viennoiserie, the bakery’s offerings—such as pain au chocolat, flaky croissants, and other delicacies—have drawn massive crowds, with customers often queuing for hours to get a taste. Due to its immense popularity, Lannan frequently sells out of its most sought-after pastries before 9 AM.
In June 2024, Lannan received the prestigious Pastry Opening of the Year Award at La Liste’s World Pastry Awards, solidifying its reputation as a must-visit destination for pastry lovers. The award recognises excellence in baking and highlights establishments that make a significant impact in the industry.
To keep up with the increasing demand, Lannan recently underwent renovations, expanding its production capacity and efficiency. The refurbishment included the addition of a new lower floor preparation area and an elevator, allowing the bakery to double its output and extend its operating days. Looking ahead, Lannan has plans to introduce a café restaurant, offering a sit-in experience for customers to enjoy their pastries in a cozy setting.
Lannan Bakery’s rapid rise to fame and unwavering commitment to excellence have firmly established it among the UK’s best, making it a must-visit for pastry enthusiasts far and wide.
