Which Nice Classification Class Are Bakery Products In?

Bread, cakes, pastries, biscuits, and other baked goods sold as products fall under Class 30, alongside tea, coffee, and confectionery. But "bakery" as a business often means more than one class, depending on exactly how you sell.

The product vs. the service

Class 30 covers the baked goods themselves — what you'd find on a packaged label. It's the right class for a brand selling packaged bread, cookies, or cakes through retail or wholesale.

Running a physical bakery or café — where customers walk in, order, and eat or collect fresh baked goods on the spot — is a different legal activity: providing a food service. That falls under Class 43, the same class as restaurants and cafés. Many bakery businesses genuinely need both: Class 30 for any packaged product line, and Class 43 for the shop or café experience itself.

A common gap

A bakery that starts as a single storefront (Class 43) and later launches packaged versions of its bestsellers — a jar of cookies sold in supermarkets, for instance — has expanded into Class 30 without necessarily realizing the original registration doesn't cover it. This is exactly the kind of natural business growth that quietly outgrows a single-class registration.

Not sure which side of that line your business falls on, or whether you need both? Try our Nice Classification Finder — describing both what you sell and how you sell it helps surface this kind of split automatically. For the full picture of all 45 classes, see our Nice Classification guide.
