Been here a couple times as I think these are some of the best pastries in the area in a friendly and comfortable atmosphere, I like that they always change their menu and whilst always having the classics there is always something new to try! (Including some interesting drinks!) I’ve had the pistachio croissant and sticky toffee pudding supreme during my visits. But I fear I need to try everything else!! Not tried the brunch menu yet as it does look a little pricey, but I’m sure this reflects their quality as others have said

The food is amazing. Prices are a little high but overall I think the quality is very good so it feels worth it. The coffee is beautiful and the staff are lovely. I found the French toast too sweet with the syrup so an option of outing the syrup would have been better but otherwise I’ve always loved the food and will keep coming back. Highly recommend. It does get busy so be prepared to wait for a table.

Amazing atmosphere, delicious food, brilliant staff, very attentive even though it was very busy which came to no surprise since Early Bird is very popular. Overall, a lovely work Xmas brunch. Thank you for having us. Will visit again soon.

Food is always exceptional and service is great. We like the Spanish front of house lady (sorry, we don't know her name). She is always very friendly and personable. Pastries are also incredible. Pecan pie was amazing and the bacon sandwich needs to be on the menu all year round! 😍 Picture included.

I’ve come here over the years for takeaways, with friends and family and to just get admin work done. I really liked this bakery and the staff are so so nice. However, since they expanded the bakery, it’s just become chaotic. They’ve lost some nice staff due to not accommodating for the expansion. For example, they should have made a separate coffee bar so that there is space for a bigger coffee machine for at least 2x staff to focus on hot drinks. 1 poor staff member sweating over trying to make the whole bakery’s coffees and all the takeaway drinks. Freeing up space by having a separate drinks making space would allow for more space in the front for 2x tills as there are cues now. Only 1x till also means that another staff member is stuck by themselves dealing with orders, takeaways and all the online orders. The staff honestly look quite stressed, I really feel for them. Especially as they are so nice to me, and a few of the female staff I get on well with. Once this is addressed it would be back to 5 stars as a rating! Other than that, the bakery items are good quality, food is really nice, creative flavours although quite pricey these days. I would not want to pay more if the prices went up further. The coffee is also quite nice and I really like the in house creations such as the miso caramel which you can also buy in store!
