We ordered one of just about everything that made its way out when we were here. This is the coziest, sweetest, most yummy bakery. It was a chilly morning and Bageriet exemplifies hygge to a T. The candles, coffee, warm, plush surroundings are the absolute coziest. I could have stayed in here all morning, eating treat after treat but we had somewhere to be ;) so I had to wrap it up. Highly, highly recommend. Fantastic, friendly service. Dare I say, better than any bakery in Sweden.

Numerous characters of interest in this neighbourhood. This is a curious place, because Amoul has it in her to change the menu everyday. Both creative and original but the food is quite wonderful. Perhaps its exactly the type of food I am enjoying at this stage of my life which is why I would certainly venture back. I ordered the meatloaf - although on the menu it was called something else in Lebanese but the name escapes me. The ground meat was a mixture of lamb and beef, and it came with these wonderful pine nuts and a very arabic sauce. Alongside this classic raita (Yoghurt with cucumber) the combination was delicious, filling and healthy. My friend went for the seabass with spinach and tahini sauce - which was also exquisite. We both left very satisfied with our meals. Thanks Amoul!

I like their combination 'main + salads' option where you can choose 1 main from the selection of the day which usually includes a beef/lamb, chicken or vegetarian dish. And you also get to choose 2-3 sides depending how hungry you are. Sides include a range of yummie middle-eastern dishes - my favorites are hummus, tabouleh, spicy potatoes. They also usually have a special for the day. For example, they had a lentil soup and Shepard's Pie which looked amazing.

Hubby had the Full English Breakfast and he seemed to like it except for the rubbery piece of dried out ham! I ordered the Full Veggie Breakfast and enjoyed every bite, except I am not so keen on Halumi, just a little too salty for my taste buds. On other occasions, it was my first stop for a cappucino or Americano coffee. The pastries were very good also, the croissants are very buttery. Tried the Lemon Curd Cruffin one day, and it was so delicious, creamy lemon curd inside! They do get busy in the mornings, but they manage to keep a smile with friendly service all he way through to the end of your visit. Give them a try if you are in the neighborhood - SKIP the Starbucks!

Petit quiche anyone? Or perhaps a flaky pain au chocolat? In the name of research I sampled a few and I have to say they were delicious and did take some home with me. Along with a freshly baked baguette. Next time I think I will have a bit of lunch. I did feel a bit like I had just been on a mini break to France.

They have the menu up on the board as well as a QR code, you can order at the register as well as online which I found very convenient if you don't want your server to keep coming to check on you for when you're ready. I ordered a gyro and a Greek salad on the side, not only were the portions generous, but it was so delish, the salad had plenty of dressing and plenty of everything, the gyro was hard to grab from how full it was (a very good problem to have if you ask me) and very affordable which I was surprised. For drinks, they did have beer and wine as well as some juiced and coke products, one thing though, they didn't have ice, not just that day but in general, maybe a Greek think? Not sure but be mindful of that, luckily my soda was already cold lol. The place is like a cross between a regular restaurant and a fast food place, where you can comfortably sit and your food comes out fairly quickly, I recommend this place to all my friends, and can't wait to go back again!

Well that's how I felt for a very brief time, but no more. This great little artisan bakery, cafe, coffe shop is only a few hundred yards from my flat. I had not been here for a year, yet I love the place. Pehaps it is its closeness, I don't know. Two months ago, I walked past and ths shutters were down. At first I thought that they were closed for a short holiday. A month passed and the shutters were still down. I panicked thinking that perhaps the lack of local support (including mine) had caused the business to close. I felt sick that the best little bakery and coffe shop was no longer part of the community, and perhaps, in part, my lack of support had caused it's demise. It was with such pleasure that I passed today and it was fully functioning again. I spoke to Dimitra Agapidis, whos business it is. It had been closed due to he undergoing surgery on both hands. As she makes all the bread, cakes and pasties herself she had no option to close until she recovered. I was so happy to see it open. I've been here for breakfast and the food is great, and such good value. The smoked salmon with scrambled eggs on home made toasted bread was devine. A bonus is that it was less that six pounds. Even cheaper is the Eggs Benedict. Where else in London would you be able to get such a freshly produced bargain. They do lovely lttle bags to take away of small pasties. Ideal as a token gift. I used to get my mum freshly baked amaretti biscuits in a little gift bag. she loved them. They also make custom made cakes to order. If you live close by, or are in the neighbourhood, I would urge you to give Les Douceurs De La Tentation a try, and support a local business. I'm surprised that there has only been one other review of this place, and that was from a trusted Yelp reviewer who's reviews and recommendations I have taken account of when going to places in the past. It won't be long before I'm Duke here and intend to keep it that way, as I don't want to have that guilty feeling of loss again!

And recently they began to start offering dinner as well. The coffee was okay, not outstanding, but the rest of the breakfast was great. Delicious croissants, tasty bread and jam - overall definitely a place to remember and I am sure that I will be back soon.
