Every time I come to St Albans I have to make a stop off at Pudding Stop…read more I've been here twice now and time and time again the Cakes have been delicious. Pudding stop has bench style seating, so you may have to get used to the fact that you may be sitting with strangers and possible their babies. I tend to come in the late afternoon so the ambience is rather chilled out to my liking. I've ordered the Devon Cream Tea,(£6) which they give you bottomless tea in a teapot with cup and tea strainer. The scone is soft and fluffy and so perfect, and with generous lashings of clotted cream and jam which adds to the divinity of this British classic. Carrot cake is moist and not too sweet...just right. Chocolate flourless cake was a moist sticky chocolate gooeyness which needed some single cream to compliment it, but still throughly enjoyed. The staff are attentive and friendly. Their is free wifi also they have classic movie evenings.

It's a also a cafe, and you can have breakfast, but the baked goods are what it's all about. For me, it's the pain au raisin. It's so wonderfully baked. Crispy shell, tender dough, plump raisins. After coming here a few times, I finally got the breakfast. Perfectly cooked eggs, delicious mushrooms, bacon (pancetta) and fresh bread. The service is great. It's such a good local neighborhood bakery. Come here! You'll enjoy it.

Loads of variety on the savoury side. Too often though, the panini is overtoasted, the coffee is mediocre, and card is only accepted on orders over £10, but don't let it deter you! Definitely worth a try are the award winning cinnamon square buns, and the apple & cinnamon tarts! By far the best bakery in the area and the kind to be expected in this kind of area.
