Tucked away in the creative heart of Hockley, Ugly Bread Bakery Café is one of those places that instantly makes you feel at home.
Step inside and you’re greeted by the comforting scent of freshly baked bread, trays of golden focaccia and crisp pizza slices, and the hum of a laid-back Nottingham morning.
This isn’t your average café — it’s a little slice of artisan heaven. The menu changes daily, with new flavours appearing on the counter each time you visit, so there’s always a reason to come back. You can sit in with a coffee and watch the world go by, or take your treats away for a picnic in the Lace Market. They’ll even pack dishes cold so you can reheat them later and enjoy that just-baked taste at home.
It’s the kind of spot that locals love and travellers stumble upon by happy accident — perfect for a slow breakfast, a midday refuel, or an afternoon pick-me-up. Add in friendly staff, easy access, and plenty of nearby parking, and you’ve got one of Nottingham’s most reliable foodie stops.
Whether you’re exploring the city or looking for your new go-to café, Ugly Bread Bakery is the kind of place that makes Nottingham feel like home.
