    As a coeliac you may question why I'm writing a review for a bakery, and sadly it's not because…read morethey are making amazing Gluten Free alternatives of their delicious looking cakes. I have a major sweet tooth, and whilst I can't eat their delicious cakes I can buy them for other people. So whilst I'm buying Danishes and tarts for the other half, I'm buying myself the freshly made monster meringues. Worth treating yourself to some freshly baked classics and great bread as opposed to a cupcake every now and again. It's always nice to find a good local supplier that means you can bypass the supermarket and grab something freshly and locally made with good quality ingredients. They are superbly located for the commuters from Snow Hill Station, you just need to remember its there on the corner of Great Western Arcade.

They offer fresh bread, cakes, pasties, sandwiches and a great alternative for a nice lunch. Although the interior is quite small and there are only a few seats I'd recommend the food here to anyone. You can also buy their items for home use. I bought a whole bread loaf!! Although you pay a little more, the better tastier food, an alternative to the big supermarkets, and you know that your supporting a local grocer's using local sourced ingredients, its a win win all round. Pay them a visit!

    Having heard about this place a few months ago and as a huge fan of all things sweet, I've been…read morelooking forward to visiting - and I wasn't disappointed. This is a small bakery/cafe and serves pattesserie and cakes but also savouries with a Venezuelan twist as this is where the owner is from. We started off with a kind of bake that was a light brioche type dough on the outside and stuffed with ham and chorizo. Served warm, it was surprisingly light and tasty. We then moved onto the sweet stuff- a raspberry Italian buttercream sponge and a 'mother-in-laws tongue' (light pastry dipped in chocolate at each end, caramel sauce and fresh whipped cream). Both were fantastic! £2.50 each as well, which I thought was a good price for something fresh and handmade. The service felt a little prickly, but then this is a one woman operation and bakers work looooong hours so I thought this was an understandable compromise for delicious food.

    What a lovely little place. Once we got parked ! Lovely couple from Venezuela. (As they supply the…read morepub opposite with bread, their customers can use the 'Maggies' car park ) Small menu but nice selection with specialist meals at the weekend with Venezuelan foods. We had wholemeal baps filled with Chicken and salad with freshly made coffee and fruit juice followed by Venezuelan three milk cake. We shared one as quite rich.Have driven past many times and so pleased at last to visit today. We love our food and can highly recommend this smart and welcoming little place. Well done

    Gotta say, 'Crusty Cottage' sounds more like a gag-inducing euphemism than the name of a…read moredrool-inducing bakery. Driven by hunger to cast such doubts aside, I went in and ordered a ham salad sandwich and one of the nice looking jam tarts in the window. Had a nice chat with one of the women behind the counter whilst my sandwich was being made. From what she was saying it sounds like this place deals more with big orders than passing trade. This makes sense as the shop is in a bit of an out-of-the-way location. Nevertheless, my sandwich was very cheap and very filling (helped by the thickness of the crusty bread) it also seemed to have been made using fresh ingredients, not days old salad or tomato. On the downside, the way the girl wrapped the jam tart in clingfilm meant that half the jam stuck to the clingfilm when I unwrapped it. The jam tart also appeared to have been home-made although the visible boxes of chocolate eclairs stacked behind the counter suggested this may not have been the case.
