Came here for brunch after many online recommendations. Ordered beetroot/hummus/harissa sandwich, butternut quiche, cardamom bun, green tea, and Palestine lime soda. Each tasted fresh, light, and tasty. Would have been nice to warm the quiche. Baked goods were very fresh, but nothing particularly unique/innovative. Very busy, so service was fast. Interior was convenient to sit, but for a short while as cold and not spacious. Total of around £20, which to me was fairly priced. Happy to have come here.
Excellent bakery / cafe. Good coffee as well. Very limited seating and there is a line that goes out of the store when we visited on a weekend afternoon. Friendly staff. Would definitely visit again for takeaway pastries.
Very small little bakery off the road. Not much sit in room. But saw this place recommended a bunch of times on Reddit. It’s a little bit away from the train stations so I took the subway over. The coffee I would say was just okay. My group got a cappuccino (they mixed it up and gave a latte), and a chai, and an americano. All three were good but nothing to rave about. The highlight for us was the bakery! SO good. We were talking about these sweets all day! And recommended to a few of my friends also. We got a blueberry tart (had almonds- so yum), a white chocolate and raspberry tart (probably my fav thing), and a few sandwiches. These were the only sandwiches/ actual food available. But all of it just hit the spot!! Would definitely go back for the bakery! And the bread was baked fresh, the place smelled amazing.
Quaint bakery along great western road. Don’t be surprised if the queue to the counter is all around the shop as that’s quite common for Cottonrake. Despite that, queue moves relatively quick and all of their bakes are worth the wait. My personal favourite is the white chocolate tart. So good!
Lovely little bakery, the cinnamon bun was definitely a highlight. I would say the sweet bakes were not as great as their bread and pastry’s, plain croissants were so good we returned to get more!
