1. Hand-made Bakery: This type of bakery is made by hand and typically produces bread, pastries, and cakes. This type of bakery is usually more expensive than other types of bakeries because the ingredients must be hand-picked and prepared by the bakery staff.

2. Automated Bakery: This type of bakery uses machinery to produce bread, pastries, and cakes. Automated bakeries are cheaper to operate than hand-made bakeries because they require less staff. 

3. Ovenless Bakery: This type of bakery does not use an oven to cook the breads or pastries. Instead, the breads and pastries are cooked in a hot water bath or in a convection oven. 

4. Microwave Bakery: The heating system of a 'Microwave+Oven' is a bit more complex and throws heat from all sides and hence helps in the baking process.
