To help continue to serve our customers throughout this crisis, we have opened up our pop-up local delivery service. We're taking this day by day as things are constantly changing, so products and time etc. will vary daily. Dunn's made a special occasion even more special. They made the most magnificent "made to order" Fresh Cream Chocolate Gateaux" we have ever seen or tasted.
This was accompanied with an Order for 24 of their special cup cakes - four of each variety - The staff at my wife's GP surgery simply couldn't believe how lovely everything was.

Dunns Bakery here in Crouch End is run by sixth Generation Baker Lewis, who has been at the helm of this local institution for four years after taking the reins from his father and mother Christoper and Christina Freeman when they retired. How did it all start? Christopher's great-great-Grandfather, Robert Freeman, came down from Brackley, Northamptonshire in 1820 on a hay wagon and started work as a baker in South Grove, Highgate.

I went there to buy food for a picnic and it was a really good surprise. There was a lot of choice, sandwiches, quiches, pies and salad. For sweets they have a large choice of cakes and pastries (a lot of different donuts). We picked many things, everything was fresh, tasty and good valut for price. On the top for that the team there was nice and helpful. Unfortunately this place is far away from where we live but we will come back for sure if we are in the area.

A huge thank you to Charlotte and the team at Dunn's Bakery for another lovely customer experience and an incredible cake! This is the second cake I have ordered from these guys and Charlotte is so helpful and puts so much thought into design and ensuring I was happy with the cake! Will definitely be back for more cakes in the near future :)

Every mouthful was so delicious. So much so that I had to go and see this bakery for myself. Wow! This bakery is like a step back in time. Everything is so beautiful and the service is top notch too. Go there and experience it for yourself. You wont be disappointed. In fact you may just return every week, or day for that matter.

Very nice peppa pig cake, made for my daughter’s birthday. Almost exactly like the picture we gave them, minor differences. We made the order a few days before the birthday and very happy that they made it in… such a short time. The sponge was quite dry, and I would’ve expected more icing as the sponge layers were tall , we couldn’t really feel the good taste of the vanilla buttercream. Overall, it was good and I recommend. The place looks nice and it was full of people everytime we went there.

This bakery is the best in London nevermind North London. The rolls and bakery is of the highest quality. You can see why it has been around for generations.
Been coming for many years to Dunns and the sausage rolls never disappoint. Just so good and freshly made on premise. Been around since 1820. With age comes craft. Just add mustard and always support local.

This is a traditional "village" bakery in the heart of Crouch End. While you won't find any health-conscious breads here, such as rye or stone-heavy whole-wheat breads, you will find an amazing variety of what white bread can be transformed into: from typical sandwich loaves, Portuguese custards and elaborately decorated cakes - you will find it here! (I actually come here when I need some standard white bread for making French toast - it really wouldn't be fun to use dense rye bread for such a treat.)
The staff is always very cheerful and they all wear straw hats - I love

A wonderful little bakery that always seems to be busy, which is a good sign.
Their bread is perfectly soft with a crisp outer crust, my husband loves their hot cross buns, and their cupcakes will always have a special place in my heart. Some of their cakes are a little pricey but for every day items this is a regular stop for my pantry.

Dunns is the place for bread. The kind staff will slice your loafs anyway you like. You won't find anything like cranberry walnut bread here but in the old English tradition you will find good bread.
Towards the end of the day, this shop sells bread in baskets at reduced rates like 50% off.
I can tell this place is has been here for ages.Dunns supplies the gourmet Budgens around the corner with bakery bread as well.
One loaf of wholemeal here is about a pound.

This is my favourite bakery in London and my first port of call when in Crouch End. As others have said, it's an old-fashioned family bakery which produces a lovely - and extensive - selection of cakes, pastries and bread, much of which is difficult to find elsewhere. While some of it - particularly the large cakes - can seem quite pricey, the delicious sunflower seed bread and soda bread are little treats and well worth the price. The staff are always friendly and the premises are spacious enough to allow you to have a wander and make your choice without feeling under pressure from the staff

This is a lovely, friendly bakery with pastries that could make your heart melt. The cakes they sell are also very good. Dunns can be a little pricey but is very good. It is big but at the same time small when overcrowded. All the workers are friendly and are always willing to help. No one is rude in there which great. I love popping in there once in a while for an odd donut, and i have never been dissapointed.

Old-fashioned craft bakers in the centre of Crouch End. Dunn's has a great window display where they show off some of the wedding and birthday cakes that can be made to order (there's a full range on the website). They also do lovely cakes of all sizes for less special occasions.
There's a good selection of breads and plenty of hot pasties and sandwiches to take away for lunch. Have a look on the large stand in the centre for the half price cakes with an orange sticker -most still have a week or two left on the sell by date and are just as delicious!
