    Amazing bakery and coffee shop. The cinnamon roll was recommended to me by the barista and it is delicious. The outside is a little harder and has a sweet glaze on it but the inside is nice and soft, a little dry but when you have a coffee with it, it's wonderful. The coffee is nice and moderate, not too bold but has a good coffee taste.

    Nordic Bakery & Café on Golden Square
    Jeff H.

    Nordic Bakery is my favorite café in Central London. It's conveniently located on Golden Square which is away from the usual tourist routes and crowds ... but not too far away. This is a Scandinavian enterprise so they have all sorts of Swedish, Danish, Norwegian, and Finnish goodies - both savoury and sweet. I especially like to grab a tea here in the afternoon and eat one of their specialty pastries - a Karelian (Finnish) pie. The staff here are friendly, the WIFI is free and easy to access, there's bike parking in front. Though it's crowded, there always seems to be one table left for me. Cheers!

    Cinnamon roll. Still warm! Huzzah!

    A good cinnamon roll is hard to find. I came here to check out their Cinnamon Rolls. Just how good were they? Pretty darn good. I'd say. Sweet but not so much that it over powers the stronger cinnamon taste. Rolled with many layers http://www.yelp.co.uk/biz_photos/Sh_PrXavTAk2d5jTs_onuQ?select=o0ASB1yte_BYX7zBg-lfAg to allow for maximum sugar and cinnamon to dough ratio. Awesome. The interior is too starkly plain and quiet for me. Like someone's dull interpretation of Ikea. I'll trade the plain austerity of the bakery for the fresh air across the street in Golden Square. The roll was still warm at 10:30am. It was a good morning =)

    Sexy cinnamon bun

    Dearest Nordic Bakery, I'd like to let you know that your cinnamon buns have reduced Brinda and I to crack addicts. I'm not even joking. Because of your buns, I have been reduced to a snivelling wreck on the train searching for leftover crumbs and smelling my shirt for that amazing cinnamon smell that still lingers. The other passengers think I'm crazy. But I don't regret ordering those pillowy spiced goodness which its crispy sexy layered top on the outside and soft and warm and comforting. It was a food orgasm. I'm already having withdrawal symptons. (I found a crumb on my t shirt a few hours later, it dropped on the floor, I cried.) If anyone else would like to join my cinnamon buns anonymous where we will be getting over our addiction by, uhm, eating more of it. Please let me know. Yinnie. P.S: Following Brinda's review, I will not admit to strategically planning anything. That being said, I will not say I didn't strategically plan it either.

    The Nordic Bakery opposite Golden Square in Soho is a place I discovered thanks to a Finnish friend of mine. It's become a habit of ours to meet up for coffee here, thanks to their freshly prepared Finnish treats. It's not uncommon to walk in and to be greeted by the smell of freshly baked cinnamon buns, which are hard to resist. These are not your average cinnamon buns - they're delightfully sticky and have a reassuring heft. You will not be disappointed. They also have great rye bread sandwiches, again done in typical Finnish style. I particular enjoy the ham one - incredibly simple and surprisingly satisfying. They usually ask if you want them open or closed, in other words, whether you want one piece of rye bread or two - opt for the open one, my Finnish friend assures me this is the way it's done. Another thing to note is that you can buy the rye bread in bulk, frozen which my friend does regularly and I have done once too.

    Okay, so this Nordic style bakery has been staring back at me all year. Its finally time to try. And to be honest, I didn't find the hype of these cinnamon bun. I mean it is nice, but I have tasted better. I got a fresh batch, nice hot and fresh. I thought it could be more cinnamony, and lighter, but it wasn't, pastry slightly thicker than I like, and very filling. None the less, it went down with a great cup of tea. The venue is simplistic and is located away from the hustle and bustle. But because of free WiFi, its rubbish if you cant get a seat, and lovely if you do. Overall I would return, a nice change from all the cafes around these parts. Service was OK, can get busy at time, so grudge on the staff.

    Yum yum??

    What can I say? Nordic bakery has the best cinnamon bun in town!! As a cinnamon lover, it always hurts when a coffee shop doesn't offer anything spiced with cinnamon. But at the the same time it is always a dream come true when you find out a place specialised in making cinnamon bun/swirl/cake and etc.. Everything here comes warm even you have it taken away. Nordic bakery truly is a hidden gem. They might have a simple door front and basic interior, but their food and coffee are beyond amazing. Tasty food, clean environment, friendly staff. They totally find themselves a special place in my heart. And their signature cinnamon bun indeed warmed me up on this chilly exhausting Thursday.

    The famous cinnamon bun.

    Their Cinnamon Bun is notorious so I had to try it. I was not impressed. It smells and looks tempting but personally, I didn't like the taste. The cinnamon flavour seemed unpleasantly extreme to me. My black americano was very nice though. The Nodic Bakery also does other cakes and biscuits as well as sandwiches and salads, dominated by salmon. The small room was surprisingly crowded with waitresses who didn't have much to do - unsurprisingly.

    Hot chocolate and their famous cinnamon bun
    Becky M.

    Stopped by on a Saturday afternoon with a few friends. I was told this place is usually packed and are famous for their cinnamon buns... So here we were! I'm not by any means a cinnamon bun connoisseur (only ever had Cinnabon, and my own freshly baked ones!), this left us slightly disappointed. Maybe it's because we didn't get them fresh out of the oven? It was a bit dry on the outer 2 layers, but when you get to the middle, it seems quite dense and stuck to my teeth a bit. Perhaps slightly undercooked (I've posted a picture)? Or maybe this is how it's supposed to be? I'm not entirely sure!! Anyhow, with all the great ratings, I would come back and give the bun another try, only if it's fresh. Flavor-wise: no complaints, nice and cinnamonny, not overly sweet and didn't need a layer of creamy icing on it. Their hot chocolate was Nice, not to rich, just the right amount of sweetness. Will be back!

    My favourite little Scandinavian bakery place with the best cinnamon bun around..hidden from the hustle and bustle of piccadilly Circus. This place is a little gem for a break away after all those tiresome walks around the shop.. Definitely a good vibe for a coffee date..

    Came to Arome after hearing lots of great things online and it did not disappoint! My only regret…read moreis I wish I had more people with me or I wish I was hungrier cuz I really wanted to order ALLLL the pastries! My husband and I decided to try for a table and we ended up waiting about 45 min - 1 hour to sit. There was a super short line for to-go pastries (and sometimes there was no line), so if you're pressed for time, definitely do that! I love how the Arome workers help move the line along and help people in line find tables. Also speaking of Arome, the AROMA was fantastic! It smelled to buttery and fantastic both inside and while waiting in line. I ended up trying: the iconic Honey Butter Toast, Black Sesame Mochi Cookie, and Almond and Chocolate Croissant, a Savory Croissant (I think Sausage and Cheese), a Chai, and a Matcha. Everything was SO GOOD. All the pastries were amazing. I'm glad we got a mix of sweet and savory things. Everything we had was buttery, flaky, intentional, and made with love. What you'll like the most will depend on your personal flavor preferences! Definitely give this place a try!

    Arome produced pastries both beautiful and divine!…read more On the recommendation of friends, we made a stop by here for a Monday breakfast. According to their website, they deliver "European excellence with Asian flair" which is really a great way to describe their pastries and the experience! Definitely the quality that you would expect with some of those Asian flavors. Here is what we tried: Chocolate Pistachio Escargot (5/5): Shaped in a snail shell, in between the flaky layers of pastry were luscious chocolate sprinkled with pistachio for nutty texture. Really enjoyed this one! Honey Butter Toast (4/5): Touted as their signature, I had high expectations for this. It is exactly as described which that slightly sweetness from the honey in a perfectly toasted milk bread. I did enjoy this a lot but also felt like it would benefit by having something else for texture or contrast. Chicken Butter Croissant (4/5): The croissant had the nice flaky layer with chewy interior. I loved the savory chicken sausage with the slightly sweet soy glaze that provided nice contrast and that Asian twist. When we got there a little after opening, there was no line but all the seats were taken as the place is quite limited on seats. While we were asked to wait for a little a bit outside, we did not have to wait too long. However, the line did end up getting longer as we were leaving and some ended up eating outside. Overall, if you are interested in tasting some tasty pastries, I would recommend Arome!

    Mmmmm......Donuts! (Said in the voice of Homer Simpson.)…read more They do donuts so righteous here. As we were walking around Borough Market we saw the line for Bread Ahead and realized it was for the donut stand they had outside along the street. We had to jump on line and drool over the display of sugary goodness. We each tried a different donut and was not disappointed! So many varieties to choose from - coconut, lemon curd, blackcurrant cheesecake, seasalt caramel and honeycomb, and others. They don't skimp on the fillings as each bite was flavorful. Yum!

    The borough market bakery. They have a stall inside the market an a bakery right outside the market…read morehall. I'd reccomend checking out the bakery as this is where the fresh goodies are made and you're more likely to get the fresh batch here. Price wise, it's a bit steep. At 5£ per donut and 6.50£ for a piece of focaccia. But you're in a tourist area so high prices should be expected. We opted for the cheese focaccia that came right out from the oven. For 6£, it's not bad. It's pretty sizable and a good shareable snack! It's a good crusty bread and had a subtle garlic flavor with a blend of stringy cheese. If you like cheesy garlic bread, this is for you! Out of all the snacks you could get in the borough market, this is a solid option! But I wouldn't go out of my way to come here.
