Lannan Bakery and Pantry, located on Hamilton Place in Stockbridge, has become a hotspot in the city with queues often seen stretching outside the building.
Owner Darcie Maher opened the business in 2023 and it quickly became well-known for its highly-laminated pastries, such as croissants and pain au chocolats, as well as beautifully decorated bakes.
Speaking about Lannan being named as one of the country’s best bakeries for the third year in a row, Darcie said: “We're thrilled to be named alongside some exceptionally talented bakeries from across the UK.
“The higher the standard across the board, the better the industry is overall. Awards like the Good Food Guide's 50 Best Bakeries present the perfect opportunity for us to unite and show each other support in a continuously tough and uncertain year for small businesses and the hospitality sector.
“The award is a huge achievement for all of our incredibly hard working and passionate staff, they're the beating heart of Lannan and we're so proud of each and every one of them."
Other Scottish bakeries on the list include Bandit Bakery in Aberdeen, Beefcake Cafe in Glasgow, and Aran Bakery in Dunkeld.
Chloë Hamilton, editor of Good Food Guide, said: ‘Choosing just 50 winners was an almost impossible task given how diverse and highly skilled the British baking scene has become.
“From wood-fired sourdough in Perthshire to a central London café peddling pains au chocolat that take you straight to the streets of Paris, one thing uniting them all is sheer unadulterated deliciousness.’
