Came to pick up the cake on the agreed date and was informed that no cake has been prepared. Despite email confirmation, which clearly stated ''Your cake order has been confirmed and will be ready to pick up on Friday 8th of July'' I was left with very few options late on Friday afternoon to source a child's birthday cake. Extremely disappointing. Not to be trusted with special occasion cake orders. A complete let down.

Before reading this review, you must know that I'm a French bakery kind of girl. I love rows upon…read morerows of pristine little cakes glittering like a carnival. I love crumbling buttery croissants and epees of baguette.. This bakery is more of what I would classify as 'English' with various meaty items stuffed in a flaky, yet heavy dough. Besides these Cornish pastry type items, there are a few sweets that look a bit too sugary for my tastes and some soups. I gotta admit, though, you can probably fill up when you tank of food calories is low for less than four pounds. The place is also local and independent which tends to shed favorable light upon a place in my eyes. I probably wouldn't want to eat lunch here, as I prefer things a bit less meaty and heavy (at least when it comes to food), but if you like them British-type pastries, you might fall in love.

The tiny little venue could barely fit five people into its shop all at one time. There were loads of neighbourhood folk gathered in here at ten o'clock in the morning having a chat with the cashier and the baker about this that or the other. I loved the warm feeling this place exudes. I also loved the donuts and the cinnamon rolls. One of each cost me £1.50 total. If I want to gain ten pounds with the quickness I'll come here to get my daily sugar high dose.

Is a nightmare parking outside on the weekends as people come from far and wide, but it's definitely worth the bother.

As I was planning on filling up on pizza and other baked goods, I decided to ride my bike to Crystal Palace: roundtrip 50km! And sure enough, I was hungry by the time arrived and just in time for their Saturday pizza service, which starts at 1pm.

The coffee's better than Starbucks, but not quite at high end level. That said, where they really shine is the cakes and bread! Huge selection on offer, my favourites are the almond horseshoes, carrot cake, walnut brownies, and the croissants are AMAZING! Nice and big, very light and fluffy, perfect with a coffee. They get the balance on almond croissants just right too, other places make them too sweet but these are spot on. We buy our bread from here all the time, the walnut and onion bread is my personal favourite, poppy seed is nice, and for a treat we get the buttermilk current bread on Saturdays. It's basically a huge hot cross bun! They also sell their own jam, granola and muesli which is pretty good. Finally, the price. Not cheap, but you're paying for quality ingredients, organic flour, free range eggs and no artificial preservatives anywhere. Everything is handcrafted by their own team of bakers and you can really taste it. Why are you still reading this when you could be having cake??

We were served by a very helpful lady that spent time explaining what the different choices of Eastern European biscuits and cakes where, before loading us up with 6 cookies and 2 slices of homemade baklava, all for only £1.80!!! And on the way out, she offered us free sandwiches! So we walked away very happy indeed with a feast for two. The food itself was tasty, especially the coconut cookie and pistachio baklava. Delicious. Next time I'm in the neighbourhood I want to try a slice of their cakes - the carrot fudge cake looks amazing!
