It's certainly a bus/car/bike/hot air balloon ride away but i'd say it is worth it for the delicious bread that they have to offer. Their bakery is next door and fyi is not open ona Monday. We went for brunch and I opted for the bacon, egg and halloumi brioche bun which was great. My boyfriend had the big boy brunch board and again enjoyed it. We enjoyed the food but it wasn't exceptional and was a little over priced (£10 And £7). The coffee here is also fine. This isn't due to lack of effort though as they have a good bean supplier and a guest espresso available, but my flat white milk was super bubbly and the coffee was quite underextracted. I really loved the space available and it has plenty of outdoor seating too. Seating is available in the back room with a more working environment as it is very popular with yummy mummies (understandable so with the space for buggies).

We got the wheatfree cake, an americanto and a latte and sat on one of the tables in the backyard. Service was friendly, coffee was very good and the pastry was very fresh, not too sweet, and with yummy, melts-in-your-mouth cream. I wish i had a photo of the place: the backyard is not too large. It ends in a wooden hedge on one side and a mossy brick wall on another. The far end overlooks a few large trees. There are a few simple bistro sets in red, each with a ceramic teapot center piece, used as a flower pot :) Peaceful, quiet, beautiful ambient and a tasty pastry and coffee. A hidden little gem to discover

I purchased a raspberry pastry, a strawberry tart and a brownie as most others would be a bit messier for a picnic. I have to say I was very pleasantly surprised. The brownie was average, the raspberry and strawberry pastries however were excellent! The strawberry tart seemed to use custard as opposed to my preferred creme patissiere but was excellent nonetheless. We will be back to give Tom's cake a better try.

You can't miss the green sign and striped uniforms. There are a wide range of breads, sweet and savoury pastries (cakes, sausage rolls, etc.) but also a large variety of filled baguette and sandwich rolls. This particular shop underwent a renovation recently which has allowed for an even bigger selection of items, but come early to avoid disappointment. I personally am a fan of their jam doughnuts and tend to pick up a packet of 4 every now and then. The bacon and egg salad is a fine choice for breakfast on the go and the ham and salad roll a good pick for lunch. While the prices are slightly higher than your grocery store bakery, everything I've tried tastes as if they've just come out of the kitchen/oven!
