But we all have *those* days, don't we (and they're usually Thursdays). The type of day where you fall out of bed late, there's nothing in, and you dash out of the door unfed and unprepared. Kelly's bakery is my saviour for these kind of days. Not only do I pass it on my way to work - so no further delays - but I can also get a breakfast butty, a filled roll for my lunch, a sweet treat (for the extra Thursday-ish Thursdays) and still have change from a fiver! My personal favourite is the chicken mayo salad roll - filled to the brim, there's greenery in there so it's obviously healthy, freshly made and only £1.40. So if you're dashing past here, do take a minute to swing in and get yourself something to eat - I promise you that Thursdays* are easier to handle with a happy belly. *bakery also available on other days

It was Preacher's Patisserie, which means I'm having dessert before lunch because I'm not passing up a local bakery that sells Cherry Bakewell. This one was triangular shaped, a bit dense, & not as jammy as I like, but the almond & cherry flavors came through nicely. I regret not picking up another pastry or two & that I can only judge them based on one item that wasn't spectacular. Still, glad I gave 'em a go! Sidenote: I could've save my Cherry Bakewell for *after* I ate lunch, but where's the fun in that?

A few years ago I lived on this edge of Marchmont and my nearest bus stop was almost slap bang outside this little place, and I can safely say I could count on one hand the number of times I didn't buy something from here whilst waiting for the bus. Being a small place, the service is really riendly and personal, and the staff recognise you after your first few visits. Or first few dozen, in my case. The quality of the things they make speaks for itself: local restaurants buy their bread instead of baking their own. But my personal favourites are their cakes - the Apple Bramble cake is so good you'll forget that calories even exist, and the Chocolate Chilli cheesecake isn't far behind. Yum.

I adored the lime, poppyseed, and blueberry roulade! It was gone before the soup and toastie sandwich arrived. Crispy on the outside and so very soft and tasty on the inside. The cookie pie was impressive, but I honestly liked the roulade so much better. The soup today was broccoli and it was delicious! I had a ham and cheese sandwich lightly grilled in a panini press. Mom had a chorizo sandwich. The ladies at the bakery were lovely! Friendly happy folk always make food taste better! The bakery was quiet and not busy at 12:30 pm. It wasn't empty, just not busy. We got a table for 3! It was funny (and also a sad commentary on humans) that the still water available said "Please turn the tap off." Silly people. Thank you so much for a wonderful lunch!

My very first time I came I tried a vegan cinnamon bun. It was warm, soft, and had that sweet caramelization from the sugar on the bun. It was soooo good.

If you follow them on Instagram they even sometimes release what goods are in the shop since they switch it up! Tasty Buns definitely became a go to of mine and I think there is truly something for anyone with a sweet tooth!

Sausage Roll: A very meaty sausage roll. Like it's mostly sausage, with a bit of dough around it. The sausage itself had veggies and herbs in the mix. Perfect if you want a big meal for breakfast. Cheese Scone: Subtle and mild cheesy. I didn't have any butter on hand, but imagine that would make this even better. Twice Baked Blackcurrant & Pistachio Croissant: Loved that there was a nice jam spread in the middle of the croissant. The twice-baking meant it wasn't as airy/flaky as once-baked croissant, but that is easily overlooked since the blackcurrant makes up for it. Frangipane Bar: A really great take on a dessert bar. Perfect if you love marzipan, but don't want to eat one of those weird brightly shaped candies. I liked this so much, I'm gonna look up how to make this at home.
