Every single time there is a different pastry to try (or so it seems), along with cakes, sausage rolls (normal or spicy), chocolate, macrons (so many varieties - my favourite being salted caramel) and the most amazing different kinds of bread. Everything he sells is made the morning before the bakery opens and there is a limited amount. Once it's sold out its sold out! There are a few small tables and a sofa and it can get quite busy at the weekends. The guy who runs the place is very nice, as is all the staff. We love to sit down, order food and drinks, relax then take home tons of stuff to eat throughout the day! X

Located in South Croydon ( the outskirts of London) this beautiful tea house will leave you day…read moredreaming! After several Google services, I came across Dotty's website, it is well put together and really grabbed my attention Seeing Dotty's in real life was like a dream. The establishment is beautifully decorated and you can tell the owner really invested in the place and the people who work there. There is a pink bicycle parked outside, the establishment is pink, the decor is very elegant--perfect for a photo op I opt to do the afternoon tea with Prosecco added on as well as some scones to go. It was a very fair price per person. Under £80 for the entire experience for 2 people. They also sell other assorted desserts, shakes and cakes All the employees were attentive, they explained in detail what our package came with and they made sure we were happy from start to finish. EVERYTHING was delicious! From the English tea down to the Pimms jello HIGHLY RECOMMEND 10/10!!

I stumbled on the listing while doing a search for tea places before I left Washington, DC to travel to London. Unfortunately I didn't make the reservation myself (relied on family in London to make it) so we didn't get booked for the afternoon tea service as I'd hoped and just had a reserved table instead. Still, I indulged in some scones with cream and strawberry jam, paired with a strong cup of decaf English breakfast tea. The staff is very friendly and took the time to explain the drink and pastry options to us. I hope I get a chance to visit again for the full tea service before the end of my trip!

Years of enforced poverty forced me to seek out the Tesco Value 'blue stripe' - my larder looked like the Brighton and Hove Albion home stand for years! Their bread was especially vile. It was 9p a loaf & I felt cheated. It was like candy floss! Time moves on and those debts were settled. All that remains is my irrational hatred of thinly sliced white bread. So I go here. Wholemeal, granary, low GCI (whatever that is!) or seeded: I'm a 'regular' guy & I intend to keep it that way!!! These guys are Artisans of the first order & their bread rocks. I could eat it all day long but I need to make space & time for their taste-tastic Millionaires (you know, biscuit base, caramel & choc, the size of half a sandwich ideally!!!) too. As The Godfather of Soul might put it 'Say it loud. I'm a pig and I'm proud'............

I love the sandwichs, which you can pick ready made or request for them to make them fresh whilst you wait. The choice of hot food includes sausage rolls, slices, pasties to name a few and are always really tasty. The kids always ask for one of their really lovely gingerbread men, its the only place they will eat them from so thats got to say something! Staff are always polite and the shop has a welcoming feel to it.

For a small shop, there was a wide selection of Swedish items (see photos). For my fika, I ordered a Kanelbullar and a slice of Princess Torte (cake).

Started to wonder just how fresh this makes my cake when it gets to me. Found Sweet Delices online in my nearest town. Explained the need for a combined double birthday cake for the coming weekend. (4 days away). I was sent a couple of suggestion pics on Facebook. All looked scrummy. Price was only slightly higher than the big stores for a completely custom, baked the day before and finished the morning of cake. Nicely boxed. Cake was an excellent chocolate sponge, chocolate cream and, of course, chocolate ganache. Oh yeah....and with strawberries and gold maltesers balls on top. Sooooo much chocolate ! Let's just say it went down extremely well with no shortage of takers for take-home slices and Ranuka's (the owner) business card. So long big stores. Hello my personal, local cake baking specialist.
