I proceeded to have six or seven more over the course of my visit, which given I was only there for another three days was probably far too many. I'll admit that I was fully expecting an inferior product from Ditsch, a pale and stale parody of the lovely pretzels I had put into my face in Germany but to my surprise they have perfectly recreated the soft, warm tangly bread of my fond memory. They also sell some less appetizing foodstuffs; congealing pizza slices and sweet versions of pretzels (which were like big, toughened donuts and not all that great) but for pretzels I dare you find better in Liverpool. Well done Ditsch.

I am really into German delicacies as I love pork but on this occasion, it was a little more…read moredifferent to the usual bratwurst and sauerkraut hotdog. In fact, it was another German classic of pretzel shaped bread which I bought for just £1 and it was sure yummy. I would take the pizza flavour any time. Initially, I was expecting it to be bland and doughy but it wasn't. For a quick tasty snack, it was well worth it and quite large in size. The pretzel could have been warmer but it was just as nice cold. I would definitely go back again to try some of their toasties and flatbread pizzas, especially the chicken curry flavour which sounds so mouth-watering!

We first ordered a double sausage and egg sandwich and later for lunch we got some ham and cheese baguette sandwiches. Although my picture isn't too flattering it tasted just fine, cheese or hot sauce would've made the sandwich a whole lot better but I'm not complaining! Sandwiches, pastries, hot breakfast items, drinks, and snacks for £1! I'm so happy we found this place when we first came to Liverpool, we were on a tight budget and this bakery helped with getting lunch and breakfast items.

Everything is baked in house at Cuthberts Bakehouse and they have cute teacups and saucers, which we knew his grandparents would appreciate -- a saucer is mandatory with their teacup! We were seated in the back conservatory which was really cute. It's got a glass roof and was nicely furnished with succulent planters and even a Christmas tree for the holidays. We ordered 3 Classic Afternoon Teas, 1 New York Afternoon Tea and 1 Vegetarian Afternoon Tea for the 5 of us (my husband's mom joined us as well). The portions here are pretty big, but its weighted toward the desserts. Each afternoon tea comes with a scone on top, the middle layer has freshly baked treats, and the bottom layer is savory bites. As a group we sampled from all of the afternoon teas. I liked the burger in the New York Afternoon Tea a lot and the fries which came in both the Veggie NY and NY tea. I prefer savory bites, so those were great. For the desserts, I liked the chocolate covered strawberry and the fudge bite. My grandpa-in-law loved the almond cake and my grandma-in-law loved the Victoria sponge cake. I have some dietary requirements as the moment, so there was several things I couldn't eat unfortunately, but everything did look good, but I couldn't try that many items ultimately. I guess I'll have to return! My favorite part of the afternoon tea experience was the unlimited teas, coffees and hot chocolates! How cool! I tried several loose leaf teas including the Chai, Peppermint, Berry (which was my favorite), and the Jasmine. I also tried the Dark Hot Chocolate. This was really fun and I loved trying my way through the menu!

I absolutely love Greggs, much more than I do Sayers…read more The reason I lover Greggs more than anywhere else is because their pastries are much more tastier, puffier and crisp. I always buy their pasties to munch on for lunch in a hurry. Put simply, I love every one of their pies, each one having that succulent and meaty filling, freshly baked and at reasonable prices. Sometimes their pasties are cold after lying around for a while but usually they are at least warm. I'm not a lover of sandwiches or cakes but they do sell a wide range of buns, drinks, crisps, and butties in addition to the named. If you're lucky enough to visit at the right time, you can get hot baguettes with various fillings - I'm not a big fan but for others, they seem quite popular. If I were to buy a cake, then I would suggest the lemon muffin - it has a nice moist sponge and has a crunchy top. Greggs is the place to go for satisfying fast-served lunch. You can't go wrong with a good ole steak or chicken pasty.

Want more unhealthy but tasty greasy fatiness to go with your already bulging paper bag full? Most pasties and sausage rolls are available with multi-buy discounts. And gone are the days of choosing between a cream cake and a bag of chips - Sayers does both. If you fancy a different starchy treat, try the deep devil overstuffed crusty sandwiches, available from under £2. Mmmm... It may sound all a little bit disgusting and it is a little bit, but have you never heard of so wrong it's right? Well how about so wrong it goes all the way back round to wrong and then back to right again. Does that make any sense? Maybe not - I'm so stuffed with pasties and pink sausage rolls I don't care.
