Some of the staff can be a bit short, but on the whole they're friendly enough. They've got tables now to make it a little more cafe style but there are some things (mostly beef related) that they don't allow to be eaten in store. Most of their pastries look good and the ones that I've tried are tasty if a little stodgy. Not being close to a tube station, I don't visit that often but if given the chance, they're one of the better bakeries out there.

Excellent bagels! Better than Park Patisserie, not as good as Beigel Bake in Brick Lane which has…read morethe best in London, and which are actually a lot cheaper too. Nice thing about this place is that they have a large variety of pastries and bread, as well as several big coolers with prepared sandwiches, egg salad, cream cheese, etc., and they don't run out of bread in the late afternoon like some bakeries. Wish I could pay with a car for transactions under 10 pounds though. I don't get why that's such a problem everywhere. I mean, ffs, just charge me the extra 20p for the transactions costs or whatever, don't make me waste 15 minutes of my time walking to a nearby ATM.

These flat breads come in different varieties: filled with spinach, filled with spinach and feta cheese, filled with potatoes, or plain. In fact, when you come early enough in the morning you can still witness a lady preparing these delicious flat breads...and that just smells amazingly! They also offer quite a decent selection of baklava, which I usually can't resist buying on or two pieces...after all, if you're already planning to have a Mediterranean-themed meal, you might as well round it up with some sugary desserts!

I've been into so many cafes recently, with only minor variations, that they are starting to blur…read moreinto one a little. Nevertheless, some do stand out. Well, this one's a bakery for a start. A long counter runs the length of the shop from front to back, filled with an array of goodies. Breads, savouries and towards the back biscuits and cakes. I didn't get to sample the sweets on offer. A lot of them seem to appeal to the eye perhaps more than refined tastes: decorated meringues and that kind of thing. Go in there with a kid and there's no way you are going to go out with your wallet intact. Instead I got to sample a speciality of theirs: a type of flatbread with a stuffing of my choice. I choose a mix of feta and spinach, but mince and potatoes were also on offer. It was very tasty and filling, I'd go back for another. Also freshly made: a couple of ladies sit by round platforms in the window of the shop making them to order! They have tables near the back of the shop where you can enjoy food and a drink (nice hot chocolate). There are loos, though they are not the best. The staff are friendly. Café standard, but a little different.

It has the feel of a mom and pop joint. But none of things I tried, sweet or savoury, will tempt me to come back. But they have a thriving clientele and people seem to be keep rushing in to pick something up. The breads seem popular going by how many people came in to get some. But the pastries and savouries (pizza etc) are not great. Plus, they heat it in a microwave. That can't be good for food that's supposed to be crunchy. But an extra star for the people and the ambiance!

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.

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.

Everything in their window makes me drool, especially their Frasier cake. It took every ounce of self control to not buy an entire cake for myself. I later bought one of Paul's canvas bags at the Covent Garden location as a souvenir, durable and only a little less than 4 pounds!
