It is probably due to the worn down, and tired look of Garston Village that exacerbates the feel of Wilsons but the lady's here have been making fresh confectionary for, well, decades! My mum and aunties have bemoaned the collapse the Garston Village and have used Wilson's as a yard stick of this fact when there was once queues around the corner on Saturdays for Wilson's breads and cakes. Today, the selection is limited but small bakeries are one of those rare outlets/businesses in which you can really experience the tangible reward of local, fresh goods. How many of us can actually resist peering through the window at the iced buns and cup cakes when the smell of fresh bread hits you from down the street. Wilson's may look old but it will take you back to childhood when sticky jam and icing covered fingers were a daily enjoyment.

I just hope they start to sell it online because I'd order some bread from here definitely. Luckily their products are also offered in shops across Liverpool, this includes Auberge Cafe deli in Allerton, Mattas in the city centre and notably Delifonseca. For those of you who frequent the local farmers markets on Lark Lane and Woolton village might want to look out for their freshly baked beauties. Just have a gander on the website, and be prepared for a salivating few minutes as you browse through the different types of bread. There is something to suit everyone's fancy!! Whether it's pumpkin seed, sunflower seed, onion bread, ginger and sesame or the more traditional whole meal you will not be disappointed.

As the sign in the wondow states the ladies here have been producing top quality confestionary for 30 years and show no signs of abaiting. Not to be trapped down memory lane, the website reveals how they make their cakes in wheat free and dairy free ranges for all these fussy modern eaters - it's cake! it should have loads of butter and flour! But I also noticed that their website boasts a letter from Frank Cottrell Boyce, one of our cities best playwrite and screenwriter who aptly points out that Dafna's is like a trip back in time for your tastebuds. They aren't just limited to cheesecakes if I haven't pointed out as the ladies here also d a mean selection of preserves and accompaniments to there flans, tarts and slices and housed in what could be your nan's larder.

This place is heaven! Like me, you have probably walked past this little gem a hundred times or…read moremore and never really noticed it... but believe me, take a peek. If you like cakes, cheesecakes, desserts or quiches this place is an absolute must! Dafna specialises in producing quality cakes, all made using non-commercial recipes, and utilising domestic kitchen equipment. There is a huge range of cheesecakes, the most popular product, available in ten different flavours - I didn't even know it was possible to do that! Honestly, I was like a kid in a candy shop... I think it's practically witchcraft! Alongside the magical cheesecakes, Dafna sells a range of dietary specific foods such as wheat-free and dairy-free cakes. There is also vegetarian meals and Belgian chocolates on offer. The prices are definitely higher than what you would find in a supermarket or grocery store but the quality of the food is absolutely incomparable! Quiches come at around £7 and cakes are around £10 on average, and the famous cheesecakes about £9 for a large.

This place does that - although not a bad thing in my opinion! If a little cafe/bakery attracts the pensioners then you can pretty much be guaranteed that the place has friendly staff, and a chilled out environment. This cafe isn't any different from this, it's a rose amongst the thorns. The food is similar to what you would expect from a Sayers or a Greggs but there is a seating area where you can have your tea and cake, and watch the world go by. The price aren't bad, you do pay slightly more to sit in but still fair price. There is a good variety of food including savouries, cream cakes, sandwiches, paninis, breads and confectionary. I'd say the quality is better than a Sayers or Greggs as all the food is baked and made fresh, prepared and made to order for sandwiches etc. The only downside compared to one of the big chains is that there isn't as much variety in terms of the more exotic menu items, like the mexican chicken oval bite etc.

This little bakery was jammed with all kinds of bread, pastries and cookies. I selected a sticky bun type of thing with raisins and currants as well as a chocolate chip cookie. Both were fantastic.

Everything is made fresh every day, and every lunch time there is a queue out of the door. Service is pretty fast as it's over the high, goody-filled counter, but it's always polite. The BLT sandwiches are salty and full of awesome, the fresh cream cakes are hard to resist, and the custard slices are cut far more neatly than mine at home. I'm not particularly fond of the chocolate numbers myself, if I'm tempted, I go for the rhubarb and cherry slices (super moist), and things like the Belgian buns are pretty snazzy too. A couple of things worth noting are- They have a slicing machine- so if there's any loaves you want, but are only capable of cutting diagonal doorsteps at home, they can deal with it. If you want a hot sausage or bacon sandwich for example, you're possibly going to have a little wait as they like to cook things fresh. If you ring in advance, you can avoid standing in the corner by the fridge of drinks for a short while.
