Lovely vanilla brulee, creamy custard inside. It's just the brulee on top is not the one you can crack with your spoon. Chai tea is nice too, not too sweet. Nice stop for breakfast. It's just the shop is quite dark inside, so does the display. Plenty of seats. Very friendly staff and quick service

Excellent pain au chocolat and very tasty sourdough. Met my high (French) standards. Good coffee too. Very busy but found a table, and service was quick and friendly. On the pricier side but quality was worth it. I didn’t try the tarts so can’t comment on that (the base looked like custard rather than the French crème pâtissière I am used to).

Rustic bakery with fresh patisseries being topped up behind the counter. We liked that there were options for a quick bite as well as if you had more time for something substantial. The croissants are sadly unremarkable, the tarts are alright. Purchased a baguette take away, it’s super long! Danishes looked tantalising and I’d be happy to give them a go next time.

Very lovely people. It seems like a great bakery but I think I made a mistake and ordered something else for breakfast. The mushroom and toastie tasted good but was too oily. I would definitely try them again and this time go for the bread and pastry.

Good little bakery in a small town. FOOD: They don't really offer gluten free options aside from toast and a biscuit, both of which were terrible. Similar to gf things when they first came out, a decade+ ago. Definitely the worst gluten free food I've had in many years. Otherwise they do have a broad selection of sweets in the front counter: many of which do look really nice. Some of our dishes were hit and miss in flavour. STAFF: Lovely and attentive, especially given how cramped the place is. You constantly hear them trying to get through the tables and chairs and people at the front. DECOR: Simple, clean, modern lines, lacking character overall, which isn't necessarily bad. Only suitable for individuals up to 4 people mostly though. Not really suitable for kids or those in wheelchairs during busy times. They have blankets which is a super nice touch. The back hallway has had chairs put in to try and accommodate more people. It's squishy and looks like a hallway. OVERALL: With street parking out the front, and warm inviting staff, it looks like they're trying, so overall still a solid: good. Definitely a lovely little place to take a friend to for a pastry or take away sweet. I suspect this (versus the meals) is where they shine and would be 5/5.
