You can order online or just pop in to see what you fancy. They are the ideal thing to order for a large garden party or even a picnic. The milkshakes they produce here are so amazing! I am absolutely hooked on them, especially the chocolate button ones. If you fancy something savory then try one of their paninis, they taste just like, if not better than the ones you can get in Italy!

Bachmans is quietly nestled in a row of shops which are situated along a busy road - you might not give it a second thought when you wizz past, but if I told you that this unassuming little place was voted Best Patisserie in the UK (2007) - would you stop the car then? This is not your bog standard bakery, there are 5 full time pastry chefs on the premises working on sweet concoctions. Being half Austrian, this is the only place that I buy Stritsel (it's a sweet brioche bread stuffed with raisins and currents). The owners are Swiss so they know how to make it properly. The cakes and pastries are almost too beautiful to eat, but don't let that stop you from tucking in. They also make bespoke cakes for weddings and parties - although if I were to get married and got the cake from here, I would be thinking less "I do", and more "When do I get to eat the cake?"

Everyone loved the cake and anyone who could get a second helping did - it disappeared very quickly!

Whenever we're in Surbiton / Tolworth we drop by and treat ourselves to cake and baklava, and we're never disappointed!

If you're passionate about mama's home cooking and even more passionate about desserts, then I have…read moreto say that Zingarella's is one of the best Italian patisseries that I've ever had the good fortune to visit. Their pastries made daily in-house are simply irresistable, from fruit tarts, chocolate choux rolls to miniature pies, they're laden with lashings of cream. The extravagance of this kind of treat is certainly worth the extra pennies (around £2-3 each). The cafe itself has that classic Italian feel to it, with marble tables and a terrace outside to enjoy the summer days and some of their home made gelato and a coffee or if you're hungry their paninis are sure to be a hit too. I love this place.

I just cant resist them because they…read moreso unique and different from another bakery/cake shop in Brighton. although slightly expensive, you know your paying for quality food as well as the excellent and friendly customer service. the cakes mainly contain fruits, cream and chocolate and they also do special occasion cakes made-to-order. highly recommended

They have the most amazing flavours - from rose, lemon and orange Turkish Delight, and almond, hazelnut, walnut baklava - they're all made in store and taste amazing and authentic! They also do amazing cakes and biscuits - their display always look amazing and super tempting! They sell their products in the traditional Iranian way - ie by weight, instead of a price per individual item, which is certainly different!! They also sell raw ingredients such as fresh nuts, rosewater, and host of dried food. The owner is super friendly and happy to answer questions and make recommendations about his products, or what ingredients to buy, such as the best rosewater for cake making!

After that 1 bite of their brownie, we were HOOKED! That brownie was probably the best I've ever had in my life. The texture was ooey gooey fudge like with still a slight cakeiness to hold it together, big, high quality chocolate chunks, and not overly sweet. I still dream about that brownie to this day! I just wish they could expand this bakery to the USA because this place would win over the hearts of many! What's even cooler is that they sold their own cookbook with a lot of their recipes inside. Thank you for inventing the perfect brownie, I'll be back again next time I find myself in London.

They had other goodies like cakes and such that we didn't try, but we'd love to visit again when in town!

As I walked in I was ushered to a table straight away and had a look at the menu which to my surprise there was a breakfast and lunch menu which all seemed overpriced but I thought I would give them the benefit if the doubt with the ingredient that have been used. So I ordered the mushroom and cheese crossaint with a vanilla ice cream milkshake which I was informed the ice cream was homemade and the vanilla seeds were visible. The food arrived first and looked delicious but tasted very bland with the side salad. When the milkshake arrived it was in a small glass and was mainly foam and no visible vanilla seeds to be seen. So when approaching the manager about this she was unapologetic and brought the icecream over to show there is no seeds in the icecream. So if you want to be over charged ie my bill came to £9, then come here!

The cafe decor is nice and clean. The staff are incompetent bordering on rude, they are not interested in you or for offering a service, leave a tip I don't think so.
