BASIRS BAKERY NEWPORT

Walk into Basir's on a Saturday morning and you'll clock the queue immediately—locals know. This isn't a place for sourdough philosophy; it's where Maindee comes for its pastries, sweets, and savoury bits that taste like someone's actually made them with care rather than a recipe card. The counter's heaving with stuff you won't find in the supermarket, and the prices won't make you wince. It's become the sort of spot where regulars pop in mid-week, grab whatever's fresh that day, and chat to whoever's behind the counter.
