It's a also a cafe, and you can have breakfast, but the baked goods are what it's all about. For me, it's the pain au raisin. It's so wonderfully baked. Crispy shell, tender dough, plump raisins. After coming here a few times, I finally got the breakfast. Perfectly cooked eggs, delicious mushrooms, bacon (pancetta) and fresh bread. The service is great. It's such a good local neighborhood bakery. Come here! You'll enjoy it.

Every time I come to St Albans I have to make a stop off at Pudding Stop…read more I've been here twice now and time and time again the Cakes have been delicious. Pudding stop has bench style seating, so you may have to get used to the fact that you may be sitting with strangers and possible their babies. I tend to come in the late afternoon so the ambience is rather chilled out to my liking. I've ordered the Devon Cream Tea,(£6) which they give you bottomless tea in a teapot with cup and tea strainer. The scone is soft and fluffy and so perfect, and with generous lashings of clotted cream and jam which adds to the divinity of this British classic. Carrot cake is moist and not too sweet...just right. Chocolate flourless cake was a moist sticky chocolate gooeyness which needed some single cream to compliment it, but still throughly enjoyed. The staff are attentive and friendly. Their is free wifi also they have classic movie evenings.

Had a wonderful breakfast today only slightly spoiled by the fact that we missed the boards with the full breakfast menu to choose from and we just selected from what was available on the counter. Anyway, now we know and we will be back. Beautifully sunny spot on an autumn day. One culinary point, your chefs should head to the Nordic Bakery on Golden square and sample their cinnamon buns for a few tips, they are vastly superior. Look forward to breakfast again soon. Monday 28th October Who would have thought, back so soon and such a change. My wife went back for breakfast one day later with the kids as they are on half term. She described the porridge as "made by someone who has never eaten porridge", dry and lumpy. when she went back to the counter to order something else the staff just studiously ignored her, so she didn't buy anything. How can the service be so changeable. Maybe the weekend staff get it and the week day staff just don't.

I think it had been about 15 minutes since I ordered, and while it was busy, that's a LONG time for coffee to arrive. The other pastries looked amazing too though, and they have a nice view of the cathedral through their large windows that make you feel surrounded by greenery. I would go back here at a quieter time, or I'd just pick up some pastries.

For starters, this coffee shop bakery is so cute - picture floor to ceiling windows, a corner spot for great people watching and a stunning baked goods display. We ordered cappuccinos, along with a pistachio rose baked treat and sausage roll. The sausage roll was packed with great flavor and seasoned very well. There were so many other treats I wish we could have tried. Also, I appreciated how thorough and thoughtful they were in sharing ingredient lists for my oof allergy. Overall, a very tasty and memorable pit stop.

They have an excellent selection of pastries to eat in or take away, and this place is always buzzing. It has a great vibe though can be a bit frenetic sometimes. My favorite thing here is the chocolate almond croissant -- and they always seem to go really quickly. Prices are on the higher end but the product is also of a higher quality IMO. Service is usually quick and friendly. Coffee is also good here.
The stars are for the food. The service here is absolutely terrible. I went after the lunch rush,…read moreso there were only about four patrons there. I ordered a latte from the hostess and a salad from the display case. I received the salad right away and then waited nearly 45 minutes for the latte. When the latte arrived it was lukewarm. While I waited the staff talked on the phone or chatted with one another. The salad was good, but the terrible service means I will sadly have to give this place a miss. It's too bad too because I prefer to support smaller chains, particularly during these troubling times. I recommend this place only if time doesn't matter to you and only if you order from the items on display.

The patisserie/bakery is part of a little Portuguese ghetto - with the Lisboa Delicatessen shop right across from it and a little Portuguese stationary shop right next to it. Don't expect anything posh or fancy - it's a down-to-earth bakery, where real people eat real custards, so to speak. In order to make the best out of this place, I suggest two options: 1) You come here on multiple occasions, as there's so many different things that will tempt your palette. You simply can't eat all of it in one visit, but you simply have to try most of it! 2) You talk to your bosses and persuade them to host a Portuguese Happy Hour - that way you can buy a variety of lots of different pastries and you get to sample a lot! (This was the option that I went for.) I really love this place - but I suggest you come by on a non-weekend day, as the crowds are simply off-putting.

In a sleepy little shopping district, you will find a little groceria / catering / deli shop run by a couple of real Italian dudes. They carry all kinds of real-deal Italian dry pastas and sauces. Jeez, I had no idea that Barilla made Bolognese sauce as well as Genovese pesto. They also had a small, but comprehensive wine selection, organized by region of Italy. Let's get on to the food, shall we? The have some prepared food, but the big hit is their gelato, which was voted a top choice by readers of Time Out London and their Panini. For the panini they start with fresh bread, then slice high-quality meats and cheeses to order, such as prosciutto di Parma, speck, you name it. I had the breaded chicken breast panini with sliced provolone and sun-dried tomatoes. It was absolutely delicious and astonishing how such a simple sandwich can be so good. The service was great too. The Italian dudes were very pleasant and seemed to have lots of regulars that they were on a first-name basis with and greeted with a "ciao tarde".
