A cult-status bakery housed in a Bermondsey railway arch, serving industrial-chic vibes alongside some of London's most technically impressive laminations.
Ordering Strategy
Arrive early (before midday) as the best pastries sell out quickly. The Bermondsey arch is the original pilgrimage site, but they have opened permanent shops in Pimlico and Primrose Hill.
What to order
Kouign Amann
Regarded as the 'real star of the show,' this Breton classic is described as the 'epitome of simplicity done to perfection' with its sticky, toffee-like points and buttery, caramelized pastry.
Everything Twist
This 'perfectly plaited pastry' is filled with labneh and everything seasoning, resulting in a tart, savory flavor that critics say 'tasted like breakfast on a Sunday morning.'
Mini Ciabattas
Described as 'perfect pocket-sized bundles of joy,' these characteristically singed miniature loaves have a light texture and a fragrant, fresh perfume that makes them an absolute 'steal.'
Cheesy Thing
A high-demand spiral pastry filled with Swiss Gruyère, fragrant caraway, and smoked paprika that often sells out by midday.
Cardamom and Orange Bun
A distinct citrus-spiced morning bun recommended as a 'can't go wrong' option.
