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.

Then I asked them if they had a toilet and was told loudly in front of a packed cafe that 'Toilet is for customer only!' We were obviously planning to buy something which is why we had enquired about the cakes already but after her rude outburst we just decided to go elsewhere where the staff understand the concept of manners. Place looked shabby anyway and i could see alot of half eaten cakes left on uncleared plates so I think we had a lucky escape in hindsight.

Thankfully, the Angel Food Bakery was still open when I had a craving yesterday and the only option I had to consider was which flavour? Red Velvet w cream cheese frosting? Devil's Food Cake w coffee frosting? Banana w cream cheese frosting? Carrot w cream cheese & coconut frosting? Or Cookies and cream? I opted for the first and ate every single crumb.

(in the words of Lee Evans) The baker always says 'cheers, ta' once you have paid and it has always stuck in my head because it sounds like he really means it. The 6 bus stop stops just across the street otherwise if you do not have a car it'l probably be abit of a walk but if you are going to the bakery to scoff your face then excerise before and after might be a good shout.

Real Patisserie is full of delectable treats! To go in here and not buy something would be near…read moreimpossible, in my books... Whether you're after something savoury (a quiche or sausage roll, say) or something sweet, you'll find a delicious option in here. It's very stereotypically French. Having 'holidayed' in France for most summers growing up, I have been spoilt by great French boulangeries and patisseries, but I must say that Real Patisserie is spot on. Their selection and the quality of their food is great. I used to work in the building where all their bread is made and, on the odd occasion, a market they'd have prepared for would be cancelled. The whole office block would get an email, along the lines of 'we have a tonne of bread that we need to get rid off' and we would all run down to try and make sure we got something before it all sold out! Once you'd tried the bread, you see, the thought of missing it was just too much to bear. It's beautiful bread - made with care and attention. Sweet bread, savoury brea, crusty bread, soft bread - you name it, they do it! They do it well. I like this place a lot and all I hear is good things, so if you haven't tried it yet then please do! Your figure may not thank you, but your tastebuds will!

Come to think of it, why can't we have more French style food shops here instead of Tescos Express? Anyway, I'm sure everyone has their favourite thing to buy for lunch at the Trafalgar St Real Patisserie but for me its their quiches. I know they're a little pricey (£19 for a whole one - but you can split it with friends and they do sell slices) but they are worth every single penny. The Spinach, Mushroom, Bacon & Gruyere is the best of the bunch in my opinion, its so moreish without being sickly. If you really want to ruin the rest of your working day rubbing your stomach whilst mouthing 'too much - too much' then I'd grab a slice of La mousse trois chocolats to follow your quiche. Sacre bleu!
