Lidl bakery items are popular for their low prices, with many items costing less than a dollar. An apple turnover priced at $0.99 is described as having a McDonald’s apple pie-like flavor, but with a gel-like filling consistency that lowers the score, despite flaky, tender, properly baked pastry. A chocolate chunk cookie priced at $0.89 is praised for being warm when purchased, with crisp edges, a chewy center, and chocolate flavor that feels more complex than expected for the price, plus good seasoning and salt. A lemon poppyseed scone priced at $0.89 is rated highly for crisp, sturdy exterior, moist interior, and signs of good fat incorporation, with pleasant but mildly flavored lemon.
"Apple Turnover ($0.99) Score: 4/10 Great? No. Good for being less than a dollar? For sure. The filling has a bit of a McDonald's apple pie flavor, but the consistency was too gel-like for me. The pastry was flaky, tender, and properly baked."
"Chocolate Chunk Cookie ($0.89) Score: 10/10 Still warm when I bought it! The cookie was crisp on the edges, chewy in the center, and the chocolate had a surprisingly complex flavor for its price point. It was also well seasoned, with a nice amount of salt to help all the flavors shine. Loved."
"Lemon Poppyseed Scone ($0.89) Score: 10/10 Scones can be really hit or miss, and this one was a hit. Crisp and sturdy on the outside, moist in the center, and even had some layering indicating that the fat was incorporated nicely. The lemon flavor was very pleasant, if a bit mild. It's a limited time offer item, but I would go back to Lidl just for this."
