A popular Edinburgh bakery has brought in a ‘warden’ after a warning from parents that the long queues were forcing children onto the road.<\/p>\n

Lannan Bakery in Stockbridge<\/a> has become popular over the years with locals arriving at the store before 7am to be the first inside.<\/p>\n

However due to the narrow pavements – the queues can become a struggle for residents nearby.<\/p>\n

Bakery owner Darcie Maher told the BBC<\/a> she had recruited a steward to ensure the safety of children from the nearby Stockbridge Primary School is a top priority.<\/p>\n

She said: “The safety of the children and parents at Stockbridge Primary School is a priority for us at Lannan.<\/p>\n

“We continue to work closely with the school and have engaged a queue warden to manage the queue.<\/p>\n

“A new full-time member of staff has been brought on board for this purpose”.<\/p>\n

Councillor Stephen Jenkinson, the City of Edinburgh Council’s Transport and Environment Convener, said: “Our officers have had productive conversations with both Lannan and Stockbridge Primary School over these concerns.<\/p>\n

“I understand that the bakery has now taken on an extra member of staff to manage the queue which is a step in the right direction.<\/p>\n

“We want to support our businesses and make sure everyone can move around safely.<\/p>\n

“We’ll continue to monitor the situation and engage as appropriate with the relevant parties.”<\/p>\n

In May, we reported the bakery once again had huge queues outside. Eager foodies arrived 40 minutes before the venue opened.<\/p>\n

Every weekend since opening in 2023, huge queues have been spotted on the street with the owner having to implement measures with a limit of two of each pastries per person introduced in June last year.<\/p>\n

One woman shared her experience on TikTok after she endured the long queues. She said: “Everything was just so fresh and so good but I did enjoy the cardamom bun the best.”<\/p>\n

The bakery has become a phenomenon on social media and has been branded the ‘world’s best bakery’ with influencers hopping on the trend to see what the fuss is about.<\/p>\n
