If you are looking for good baking or a great breakfast in Liverpool, don't look any further than…read morethe Baltic Bakehouse. In a small rectangular space within the industrial environs of the Baltic triangle, Sam and Grace Henley offer a range of artisan breads made with organic Shipton Mill flour, counter top French, Italian and Spanish pastries, one of the nicest granolas I've ever tasted (with banana and yoghurt) and breakfast and lunchtime sandwiches. Two varieties of Has Been coffee are available by the pot and so seriously does this place take its brewing method that the coffee even comes with a timer! Despite the coolness of its moniker, this place will leave you feeling warm inside and out.

It is probably due to the worn down, and tired look of Garston Village that exacerbates the feel of Wilsons but the lady's here have been making fresh confectionary for, well, decades! My mum and aunties have bemoaned the collapse the Garston Village and have used Wilson's as a yard stick of this fact when there was once queues around the corner on Saturdays for Wilson's breads and cakes. Today, the selection is limited but small bakeries are one of those rare outlets/businesses in which you can really experience the tangible reward of local, fresh goods. How many of us can actually resist peering through the window at the iced buns and cup cakes when the smell of fresh bread hits you from down the street. Wilson's may look old but it will take you back to childhood when sticky jam and icing covered fingers were a daily enjoyment.

And they open at 7:30am (at least on the day when we needed some really good coffee before hitting the road). They also make heavenly Welsh cakes. As we walked in that morning we also bought a small bag of them for our trip. Warm and friendly people, great coffee, and great Welsh cakes. Highly recommended.

As the sign in the wondow states the ladies here have been producing top quality confestionary for 30 years and show no signs of abaiting. Not to be trapped down memory lane, the website reveals how they make their cakes in wheat free and dairy free ranges for all these fussy modern eaters - it's cake! it should have loads of butter and flour! But I also noticed that their website boasts a letter from Frank Cottrell Boyce, one of our cities best playwrite and screenwriter who aptly points out that Dafna's is like a trip back in time for your tastebuds. They aren't just limited to cheesecakes if I haven't pointed out as the ladies here also d a mean selection of preserves and accompaniments to there flans, tarts and slices and housed in what could be your nan's larder.

This place is heaven! Like me, you have probably walked past this little gem a hundred times or…read moremore and never really noticed it... but believe me, take a peek. If you like cakes, cheesecakes, desserts or quiches this place is an absolute must! Dafna specialises in producing quality cakes, all made using non-commercial recipes, and utilising domestic kitchen equipment. There is a huge range of cheesecakes, the most popular product, available in ten different flavours - I didn't even know it was possible to do that! Honestly, I was like a kid in a candy shop... I think it's practically witchcraft! Alongside the magical cheesecakes, Dafna sells a range of dietary specific foods such as wheat-free and dairy-free cakes. There is also vegetarian meals and Belgian chocolates on offer. The prices are definitely higher than what you would find in a supermarket or grocery store but the quality of the food is absolutely incomparable! Quiches come at around £7 and cakes are around £10 on average, and the famous cheesecakes about £9 for a large.

This little bakery was jammed with all kinds of bread, pastries and cookies. I selected a sticky bun type of thing with raisins and currants as well as a chocolate chip cookie. Both were fantastic. If I could have eaten more, I would have ordered 1 of everything. It all looked very good. The service is excellent, with a bunch of ladies exuding classic English charm. Very pleasant and helpful.

Everything is made fresh every day, and every lunch time there is a queue out of the door. Service is pretty fast as it's over the high, goody-filled counter, but it's always polite. The BLT sandwiches are salty and full of awesome, the fresh cream cakes are hard to resist, and the custard slices are cut far more neatly than mine at home. I'm not particularly fond of the chocolate numbers myself, if I'm tempted, I go for the rhubarb and cherry slices (super moist), and things like the Belgian buns are pretty snazzy too. A couple of things worth noting are- They have a slicing machine- so if there's any loaves you want, but are only capable of cutting diagonal doorsteps at home, they can deal with it. If you want a hot sausage or bacon sandwich for example, you're possibly going to have a little wait as they like to cook things fresh. If you ring in advance, you can avoid standing in the corner by the fridge of drinks for a short while.

I always prefer independent, small town bakeries and feel that they deserve my support, but this one is especially nice. I want to eat it up.
