Who are we?
In 1983, a young lad called Douglas (Dougie) put on an apron and dived headfirst into the world of baking as an apprentice. As he baked his way through the doughy delights, Dougie’s talent began to rise. Opportunity then knocked at the door and Dougie was offered the chance to take the reins of his very own bakery in Ballymena, Northern Ireland.
The Dougies Goodies adventure began, the bakery became so popular that Dougie needed more hands-on deck, eight to be precise. As the aroma of Dougies bakes and cakes spread throughout the local area so did the need for space. Dougies Goodies expanded and what began as a “small bakery” soon transformed into a buzzing coffee and bakehouse.
What makes us so special?
Individuality is the key to our continued success, no one does it like Dougies! We have an unwavering commitment to our baking and customer service. We love making peoples day just as much as we love making cakes! Our methods of baking used to create the range of products cannot be matched in terms of taste and quality. Traditional baking starting from scratch is what continues to set Dougies apart from the rest. There are no mixes and no short cuts, we believe extra effort means extra flavour and that’s why people can’t get enough of our cakes and bakes.
Don't just take our word for it, come visit the bakery or find one of our stockists and try for yourself.
