I'm normally a huge Bread Ahead fan. Whenever I'm at Borough Market, or see them at any of the food…read moremarkets they pop up at, I always get a doughnut and sometimes some bread, and it's delicious. The doughnut is huge and very comparable to one from St John's. But even though I've been at Stratford a few times since Bread Ahead's arrival, I'm always too full and haven't been able to manage a doughnut, and I really wanted to as they have what sounds like the best hybrid ever - an ice cream doughnut. So finally today I made a better plan and managed one. Unfortunately, my expectations just were not met. The man working was rude and dismissive (for example, I said that I'd never had an ice cream doughnut before, and the man scoffed, half-rolled his eyes, and said "It's just ice cream in a doughnut".) So despite the bad start, I was still pretty jazzed for my treat. But, meh, not really great. The soft serve was nice but didn't taste of much, and the doughnut shell didn't really add anything except a mess of sugar. So next time, I'll get a regular vanilla custard doughnut, and hope it's as good as usual and hopefully give Bread Ahead a couple more stars. Today though, service was a 1.5, and the doughnut only a 2.5.

This little place in the Great Eastern Market section of Westfield Stratford does really, really…read moregood doughnuts. Generously filled, and in a selection of flavours including caramel, honeycomb and fruit jams, they look pretty tempting. And they taste great too - the fillings (which clearly are the star of the show) satisfy a sweet tooth without being too sweet. My favourite is the blackberry jam, with its chunks of fruit. They aren't too doughy and are in fact quite light, and they aren't oversugared. I can't wait for the weather to heat up so I can try the ice cream filled version. They also do a huge selection of bread and other bakery products, which I haven't tried but look delicious. The staff are friendly and attentive, and the outlet is well presented and easy to look around. Everything is clearly priced which is unusual in bakeries a lot of the time. They only lost a star because £2.50 is a little steep for a doughnut in my opinion.

Good, honest cookies. They have a good crunch on them and are chewy and soft in the centre. And…read morethey have my favourite type too: raspberry and white chocolate. I'd also recommend the toffee and pecan ones. I must say I prefer these over Ben's. They have those crazy prices that make you but two more than you intended too. So best of luck with that waistline.

The opening times may be a problem though as they are closed on Sunday. Also, some of their food runs out quite quickly so if you go later in the day you may not get what you want.there is also greggs nearby. the shop also sells pasties and other sandwiches, drinks and crisps. It is a corner shop on woodgrange road and not hard to miss. Some of their food is quite expensive though compared to Greggs which is very close to it so sometimes you may be better off goiing there. The shop sometimes does promotions on meal deals.

They sell fresh bread,rolls and cakes. They have a chiller cabinet with freshly prepared sandwiches and rolls. A heated cabinet with sausage rolls, pasties and pizza bread. This is a very busy greggs with around two members of staff so be prepared to queue. I wouldn't reccomend buying from here in the summer as its always full of flys on the cakes and bread. But overall a great place to grab something to eat while on the move.

The regular assistant then showed up, took someone else's order and walked back into the kitchen. when she returned, I had to ask her to allow me to pay. Her response "I am going on my break".

Reluctantly she did. but before I gave her her my card, I asked about a piece of fish that i could see in the display counter right next to where she was standing. She refused to serve it to me as she wanted to go on her break. An absolute JOKE of a service!!!
