Marks & Spencer

You're wandering down Kirkgate after a proper browse round town and suddenly fancy something sweet - this is where you'll end up. The M&S bakery section here does exactly what you'd expect: reliable pastries, decent coffee, and those little treats that somehow find their way into your basket when you only popped in for bread. The croissants are surprisingly good for a chain, and they know how to do a proper sausage roll. It's not trying to be artisanal or revolutionary - just solid baking that hits the spot when you need it. The staff are sound, the queues move quickly enough, and you can grab your bits without any faffing about. Sometimes that's exactly what Wakefield needs.
