Bachmans is quietly nestled in a row of shops which are situated along a busy road - you might not give it a second thought when you wizz past, but if I told you that this unassuming little place was voted Best Patisserie in the UK (2007) - would you stop the car then? This is not your bog standard bakery, there are 5 full time pastry chefs on the premises working on sweet concoctions. Being half Austrian, this is the only place that I buy Stritsel (it's a sweet brioche bread stuffed with raisins and currents). The owners are Swiss so they know how to make it properly. The cakes and pastries are almost too beautiful to eat, but don't let that stop you from tucking in. They also make bespoke cakes for weddings and parties - although if I were to get married and got the cake from here, I would be thinking less "I do", and more "When do I get to eat the cake?"

Their pastries made daily in-house are simply irresistable, from fruit tarts, chocolate choux rolls to miniature pies, they're laden with lashings of cream. The extravagance of this kind of treat is certainly worth the extra pennies (around £2-3 each). The cafe itself has that classic Italian feel to it, with marble tables and a terrace outside to enjoy the summer days and some of their home made gelato and a coffee or if you're hungry their paninis are sure to be a hit too. I love this place.

This place does the most awesome and delicious on the planet.

Great place to stop for refreshment after a nice walk in Walton woods…read more They have a great selection of goodies on offer, and the cakes are very tempting. They also make their own bread on the premises. It gets extremely busy at the weekend so it can be difficult to find seating.

Went here for the 2nd time today with a friend. I would not have stayed when I saw a notice saying…read morethey do not take cash but didn't want to cause a problem for my friend. Was told by the person who served us that there was new management who had implemented non- payment of cash. I asked the staff member to relay my thoughts to the manager and she said there had been plenty of complaints. I told her that I would definitely not visit this place again. Appalling to be told how to pay for goods and hope they have more complaints. Cash is still legal tender and I do not understand how it is legal to refuse any form of payment.

The guy threw it in to warm it up & got distracted & I knew it was too long. Finally he got it out & cut & boxed it to go. Unfortunately it was way burnt in 4-5 places. Plus the bottom was over toasted like a cracker. Too bad b/c it was perfect & they smoked it, but we were in a rush so no time for a redo.

Literally the best pizza I've ever had. Crust, sauce, toppings, crunchy base, it had it all. Unreal.read more
