Ordering Strategy
Arrive early as popular items sell out before closing; have your order ready for the counter staff to keep the busy line moving.
What to order
Sprinkled Birthday Cake
A perfect, aggressively sprinkled slab of sponge that proves you don't need innovation when you have nostalgia for under £2.
Filled Baps
A lunch staple with a list of fillings so long you'll need to scan it quickly to keep the queue moving.
Apple Doughnut
Locals describe these as tremendous, large, and well-filled, akin to a fluffy sweet calzone.
Corned beef roll
Featured as one of London's top 50 sandwiches.
