As mentioned in another review, I recently spent some time in Norwich, U.K. and came to adore this…read morecity both for it's vibrant independent business scene and shops but also for the general truly European of the buildings and streets. My cousin is friendly with the owners so she insisted that we pay them a cheeky visit between lunch and dinner (for my North American friends, cheeky meaning, we were being bad and having dessert and booze between the two meals). Figbar is the magnificent creation of husband and wife team STEPHANIE & JAIME GARBUTT. I cannot do Chef Jaime any more justice so I fig-ured it best to share what I found on their website about his credentials as a pastry chef so you get a sense for the type of amazing treats I was privileged to enjoy! "Jaime brings to Figbar a stunning pastry background including positions held with Marcus Wareing and Gordon Ramsay at multi-Michelin-starred Pétrus, Galton Blackiston and Richard Bainbridge at Michelin-starred Morston Hall, and Yotam Ottolenghi and Sami Tamimi in their flagship Islington Restaurant Ottolenghi. Jaime's credentials include overseeing production at Norfolk's Metfield artisan Bakery, consulting for boutique hotels and catering outfits, and running a seasonal dessert production company. He has featured on numerous international television and radio programming including Iron Chef America, Korean Food Made Simple, and Radio 4. In 2010, he opened Made In Camden as Head Pastry Chef. Following this he joined American celebrity chef Judy Joo to re-launch the iconic Playboy Club in Mayfair, London as Head Pastry Chef. From 2014, Jaime co-founded the Jinjuu Group as partner and Executive Pastry Chef, opening restaurants in London and Hong Kong." ... Needless to say, the man has extensive training and is a genius when it comes to sinful sweets. During my visit, I had the chance to try a few of his desserts. First off, the dish that my cousin claims, made him famous, a deconstructed Snickers bar, which was made of salted butter caramel, peanut parfait, and a rich chocolate mousse for £5.5! Following that, I had a second (and third) dessert which were features from their seasonal selection. The first, 'EGGNOG' which was spiced rum custard, roast plum, mulled plum sorbet, squashed fly mince pie for £6, and while it wasn't on the menu, we also had a version of the traditional English sticky toffee pudding, which was for more decadent and fancier than anything I've had in a long time - absolutely sublime!!! Paired with all this sugar we had a fancy dessert wine from I believe Hungary which was syrupy and velvety, very similar to a Canadian Icewine. It was delicious. Figbar, is a delicious place to come for a visit, as they claim, it's the best place to continue your date after dinner OR to grab a little something before the theatre or movie! Aside from the plated decadence, there's also a large assortment of ready to go pastries and yummy bites. If you're in the Norwich area, I strongly encourage you to pay a visit to Figbar - you won't regret it! Eatcrest Out!

After shopping at other shops nearby this is always a place where we stop off for something to eat…read more They have a very good selection of all freshly made products such as cakes, biscuits, savoury pies, bread and sandwiches. They also have a resturant to the back of the shop aswell with makes it even more inviting but the only problem is is that it can get rather busy. They do also have an outside eating area too which is nice to sit and relax after shopping. Their prices are not too expensive but I've never complained after stopping and having a coffee and cake.

There are a couple of these bakers in Norwich and this one is the one I have been to least. It's…read morenot because of anything bad it's only that I don't shop in Anglia Square that often. The times I have been here though it's always really busy and full of people. They have a display cabinet at the front of the shop that sells all their fresh produce such as - cakes, biscuits, bread, rolls, sandwiches and hot pies. At the back of this shop is a cafe which again is generally busy especially around lunchtime. Unlike the other Bakers Ovens in Norwich this has an outside eating area with a few tables and chairs. This is always nice to sit and eat here if it's nice weather outside. The prices of their pies average at about £1 and it's about 70p for a cake. My favourite is their cornish pasties, along with a fresh cream cake. Their sausage rolls seems very popular too. The smell of this shop when you walk in is mouthwatering especially if you're waiting in a que.

Looking for dessert after a big meal I could hardly resist those giant macaroons they had in offer…read more All 3 flavours, pistachio, lemon meringue and raspberry and rose cream were very tempting but in the end the raspberry and rose won. I have to say, it tasted amazing! I was very impressed by how tasty it was, a perfect blend of sweet and juicy and creamy and freshness. I absolutely recommend them if you're passing by. It's the perfect dessert treat after a nice meal.

They only cost a few pounds, so we tried a (large) vanilla and a (small) strawberries and creme! Both were very impressive and quite tasty, though the filling was a tiny bit too sweet and thick for my taste. Nonetheless they were super cute and the shell was VERY good! The perfect texture and a much toned down sweetness. The girl working was also quite nice! She gave us a warm welcome and some suggestions on flavors! While I live quite a ways away I will definitely be back next time i'm in Norwich!

Good value lunch on the trot…read more You've got your classic bready sandwiches to pick or a baguette if you feel like something more substantial. If it's cold out got for a pastry with a hot filling. This branch is only little with no seating area. Luckily there's a bench round a tree just outside, not much luck if it's raining but nice on a warm day. They have lots of sweet treats to round off your eating habits. They generally have some silly looking cakes to appeal to kids. You can't go wrong with pink iced buns.
