About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One morning, a regular noticed something peculiar: every time he bought a dozen donuts from Greggs Bakery, the number of holes in each one seemed to increase by one. Curious, he mentioned it to his neighbor who happened to work as a delivery driver for Greggs. The driver laughed and confessed that their boss had recently ordered new donut molds—ones with an extra hole for good luck. Everyone started buying donuts in twelves just to see how many holes they’d get, turning what was once a mundane breakfast into a friendly competition. And so, Greggs became known not only for its pastries but also for its mysterious multiplying holes.

2. One day, after school, a little girl stopped by Greggs on her way home. She always loved watching the baker decorating the cupcakes, but today something odd caught her eye—each time she entered, the cake display seemed slightly different when she returned later that afternoon. Curious, she asked the baker if he changed the cakes every day. He smiled and said it was just his secret recipe for keeping things interesting. From then on, whenever she visited, she’d wave at the delivery driver and chat with the neighbor waiting in line. It turned out Greggs wasn’t just a bakery—it was a community hub where everyone knew each other’s favorite pastries.

3. Late one night, a delivery driver pulled up to Greggs and noticed an unusual sound coming from inside. The soft hum grew louder with each passing minute until it seemed like the entire building was buzzing. Curious, he peered through the window and saw rows upon rows of pastries dancing in unison to some invisible tune. Startled, he honked his horn gently, and the flaky chorus stopped abruptly. A voice from within called out cheerfully, ‘Thank you for waking us up! We were getting bored!’

4. Late one night, a delivery driver pulled up to Greggs and noticed an unusual aroma wafting from the open door—something between fresh-baked bread and warm cookies, but with a hint of vanilla that shouldn't be there. Curious, he stepped inside and found no one around, just rows of freshly baked pastries and a small sign reading ‘Closed for renovations.’ Smiling, he thought it must be a neighbor playing a prank. Turns out, it was Greggs testing their new secret recipe—a little too early.
