The window is full of example cakes that you can order. It is this that both angers and amuses me. They put a Nemo style fish shaped cake in the window when it opened last year. It is still there and has gone through all number of colour changes as the sun and seasons affect the dye in the icing. It looks fairly putrid now. (see photo) I have in fact gone in to tell them that I think the cake should be removed or replaced and they just reassured me that it was for visual purposes only an asked whether I wanted one made. This didn't really reassure me because I was already pretty certain that no one would dare touch the thing, and I didn't want one made as they cost £37! The little cakes and confectionary they have inside are quite nice and have a bit of a Middle Eastern taste (very sweet, often dry or very sticky). They are also reasonably priced. They also do coffee and have wee tables and chairs if you'd like to sit in with a coffee and biscuit. I like the idea of La Brioche, but the cakes on display really are a bit of a joke when they first go out they look great, but they are left in the window for months and months. I'm sure if they pulled their socks up this would be a fine place to order your special occasion cake from. ********* 24th January 2oo8 They have replaced all the old cakes!

This place just opened recently where 'Le Village Tandoori' take away used to be…read more It is a bakery/patisserie with a distinctly Polish angle. It's nicely designed and actually looks like they have a lot of space and not that many products but on closer inspection you can be treated to a veritable bevy of delicious baked goods. Lots of lovely looking cakes and a nice selection of bread - all reasonably priced. 2 things would improve this place: 1. sell tea/coffee 2. put a table and chair in the corner so people can sit there eating their cakes with a tea/coffee. Also - don't be fooled by the front display - it is just for display. I was almost heart broken when I went in to get a loaf that looked divine only to be told it was a 'gallery' loaf. Fortunately they had a similar one (last one) on the shelves.

Nice bakery in London. Good service and lots of pastries, bread, sandwiches, and drinks. Was here…read moreon a Monday for lunch with family and we got to try a few things. Execution of the food was great, but flavor wise was hit and miss. I wanted to try so many pastries but I know desserts from other countries can differ greatly. I had a spinach and cheese pocket and ate some of a veggie sandwich. The pocket was good and savory with a flakey phyllo dough shell. The veggie sandwich was lacking in flavor and on the bland side. The pastel de nata pastry was delicious. It was the same as an egg custard tart. The apple pie however was disappointing. Nothing like the chunky spice laden apple pie filling you find in the states. Biodegradable wood utensils are used here which is cool. I liked this bakery and all they had to offer.

We picked our breakfast items & coffees, then bought more items to stuff in our pockets/bags for later. Pocket bread, as we so lovingly referred to it, was second breakfast & lunch. A glorious stop. The coffee was thick, creamy, and silky smooth. The quiche sang on the tastebuds. Light, fltaky-tender croissants & moist, savory scones - absolutely divine.
