"Today there's only one place that makes the authentic Bakewell Tart, which is the Bakewell Tart Shop and Coffee House. Whoever has the correct recipe, all are kept in fireproof safes, ensuring the real thing can continue to be made."

Liam Hallam

"If you're off for a trip to Bakewell there are four main places you really need to visit and sample traditional Bakewell Pudding: one of them is The Bakewell Tart Shop and Coffee House."

Jen Harvey

"This family-run shop and coffee house in Bakewell has perfected its eponymous tart over 50 years. Here, you’ll find a few variations on the traditional tart, including adding coconut as well as icing on top."

Bill Pearson

"They're the only place which makes the Bakewell Tart. This shop does traditional Bakewell Tarts, moist Bakewell Tarts (a variation with the addition of coconut), Iced Bakewell Tarts (which can also be personalised) and Bakewell puddings."

Laura Tan

"Go ahead and treat yourself to a special, large tart from the right-hand side of the shop which always looks amazing, stocked well with all the varieties. The lemon bakewell, the jam and coconut bakewell or the chocolate-dipped flapjacks are highly recommended."
