"Having been attracted by the appetising appearance of the cakes bread in the window display, we ventured inside and bought a some rolls. The clean, friendly, traditional establishment was not short of customers of all ages or staff, who were clearly happy in their work. In fact, all staff we met greeted us with a smile freely engaged in friendly chit chat, helping to make us welcome. Thanks to that, we vowed to go back after a further walk round the town for our mid morning drink. The welcome remained as warm upon our return. We ordered a black coffee, a hot chocolate and a tea cake to share. Service was prompt and polite. Having enjoyed our scrumptious tea cake, we purchased a pack for ourselves and one to give to the in laws. We also bought two pasties a Cornish and a cheese onion type, which we decided would go nicely for our evening meal.We (my mrs I) agreed that like the rest of the shop seating area, the loos were kept spotless.We will visit again when we return to the nice traditional market town that is Ashbourne. In short, The Ashbourne Gingerbread Shop comes highly recommended."

....without any gingerbread for sale. Trade descriptions aside, this is a classic English cafe.

the name gingerbread is actually misleading, as they make many sorts of baked cards. our favorite was the cream donut. we order twice in 5 minutes! Dear staff also! highly recommended!

A small friendly cafe. Wonderful chocolate eclairs. Sausage,Apple and stuffing rolls wow. Good selection of soft drinks. Toilets down 3 steps and rather narrow. It is an old listed building.

Lots of sensible social distancing protection measures in place at the moment, clear marking and polite staff made it a simple stress free quick visit to collect fantastic Birds cream cakes and Pork pies. Cream cakes are pre-boxed at the moment which gave me an excuse to buy more as well.

Famed for its gingerbread, it’s called Ashbourne Gingerbread shop. Now, after our fifth visit over 18 months, again there is no gingerbread!!!! Seriously??? Food was adequate, but typical ‘cafe’ taste, nothing special about this place. Very sad, not the same as when I lived here 25 years ago.

Birds the gingerbread shop. Range of eat in options available. Good cooked breakfasts. Staff are pleasant and service is quick. Take out sandwiches and pasties are are available at the counter. Take away sausage cobs are lovely, as are the cream slices. Reasonable prices for the quality of food. Pre packed sandwiches often sell out quickly at lunch so don’t leave it late. You can park close by on the market place (pay display)

So disappointing! I had been to the shop as a child so I had fond memories of going along to buy a gingerbread man here. Bringing back my family years later sadly it was not the experience I’d hoped for. Considering it still had the same shop front I can’t believe it sold cheap looking gingerbread men, packaged up in cellophane, with tasteless edible paper icing on. It tasted more like shortbread. So sad. My daughter was so disappointed as gingerbread is her favourite treat. Thankfully we are staying in Bakewell so we were able to pick up a much tastier one from the Bakewell tart shop there!
