Cogogo is pleased to welcome to the market R Little Bakers, where every loaf, slice, and scone is baked with love, laughter, and just the right amount of mischief. From indulgent cakes to legendary tattie scones, golden sausage rolls to irresistible savouries, this award-winning bakery has been the heart (and stomach) of the community for years. With a freehold shop and a rented flat above, it’s the perfect recipe for business and lifestyle in one tasty package.
Famous for its Best Potato Scone in Scotland wins (2015–16 and 2017–18), R Little Bakers is more than a bakery—it’s a local institution. Customers know they’ll be greeted with a smile, the banter will be friendly, and the shelves will be stocked with goodies that taste like home. Backed by eight experienced and passionate staff members, this is a business that’s ready for its next chapter.
Location
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.
Premises
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.
Tenure
Freehold—secure your future with ownership of both the bakery and the flat, no landlord in sight.
Hours
At present, R Little Bakers opens its doors from Monday to Friday, 7:30 am until 3:30 pm, and on Saturday from 7:30 am until 3:00 pm, with Sunday as a well-earned rest day. These hours cater perfectly to the early morning crowd and the lunchtime rush, serving everything from fresh bread and rolls to savouries and sweet treats.
Staff
