R Little Bakers is proudly rooted in the charming town of Moffat, Dumfries and Galloway—a picturesque gem in the Scottish Lowlands, famous for its welcoming community, independent shops, and rich history. Known as a former spa town, Moffat is surrounded by rolling hills, scenic walking trails, and breathtaking countryside, attracting both locals and a steady stream of visitors year-round.
Positioned on one of the town’s characterful streets, the bakery benefits from excellent footfall, with a blend of loyal local customers and curious tourists tempted inside by the irresistible aroma of fresh baking. Moffat’s thriving tourism scene—helped by its reputation for great food, unique shopping, and cosy cafés—makes this a prime spot for a business like R Little Bakers.
The bakery occupies a charming and well-maintained freehold property, designed to make both baking and customer service a pleasure. Step inside and you’re immediately greeted by shelving stacked high with freshly baked breads, crusty rolls, and golden tattie scones, filling the air with the unmistakable aroma of a working bakery.
The serving counters are a feast for the eyes, brimming with colourful cakes, tempting traybakes, melt-in-the-mouth pastries, and savoury favourites like sausage rolls and pies. The layout is both inviting for customers and efficient for staff, ensuring smooth service during even the busiest morning rush.
Behind the scenes, the bakery boasts ample storage space for ingredients, packaging, and seasonal stock, as well as all the essential equipment for high-volume baking. The working areas are well-organised, with preparation benches, ovens, mixers, and refrigeration units all within easy reach—perfect for maintaining the consistent quality R Little Bakers is known for.
Upstairs, the property includes a self-contained flat, currently rented out, which provides an additional income stream or the option for on-site living. Outside, the shop frontage is neat and welcoming, with clear signage and large display windows that offer a tempting glimpse of the delicious goods inside.
