Most pastries are really good, especially the cardamom buns and cinnamon slice. really good focaccia. Honey cake was a bit disappointing, expected it to be pleasantly sweet but found it just tasted like biscoff which I wasn't expecting. The lemon glaze on the lemon and blueberry tarts tastes very synthetic, almost like cough medicine.
My favourite bakery in Glasgow. The range in different sourdoughs is great and the pastries are amazing. This place is always busy so get in early to get the best selections before it all goes!
Was in town from London and recommended the croissants here, I was not disappointed! Buttery with a crunchy exterior and soft interior. solid croissant and good coffee.
Love this bakery so much. The sourdough is fantastic and the vegan cinnamon buns are the best I've ever had. I love being able to place an advance order and collect on Fridays, and most things freeze really well so can get a batch to last a while.
Came this morning for some pastries. Got the custard and raspberry jam croissant knot and the biscoff cinnabon which were both sooo delicious and huge!! Edit: came back and had some danishes which were amazing as well, staff are so friendly and sweet
