They sell a good selection of breads (which they will slice if you want them to) as well as the usual cakes, rolls etc. They do packs of rolls, buns etc at a good price which are ideal for putting in the freezer. They have a cabinet full of filled sandwiches and rolls which are handy to buy for lunch as well as soup, crisps etc. The staff are friendly and although there is often quite a large queue, particularly at lunch time when a lot of the local schoolchildren are buying their lunch, they are pretty fast at serving and getting the queue down.

Cadbury, I have loved thee for over six decades…read more I think I grew up with a dozen milk bottles and Cadbury Fruit and Nut bars as my daily nourishment. Cadbury Chocolate originated in England in 1824. Happy almost 200 years! Thank you! Besides Birmingham, this is the biggest Cadbury store in England. It is exactly 54 miles north and east of London. It is located in an outlet mall ( Braintree Village)with a Nike store, Vans, Ted Baker, Body Shop, Top Dog and the lovely Costa coffee shop. Great variety - 62 types of chocolate bars( yes I counted December 2022 trip), brownie tins, cookies( I am sorry I meant biscuits, we are in the UK), cocoa drink mixes, gift baskets, picnic bites, drinks, shakes, seasonal beauties for Easter, Halloween and Christmas. Prices are a bit higher than the supermarket. Please note only British pound sterling accepted in the UK, no Euros. I believe £1 =$1.24. FYI Hershey owns the right to manufacture Cadbury chocolates in the US. They do taste better across the pond as they have more fat and cocoa there( music to my ears as I do the " Cadbury Curly Wurly" dance). Very mellow and polite staff. The young ladies brought us a gift bag and a big basket to shop. They could see by the look on my face that I planned to purchase in bulk and pay the extra baggage fees for that overweight NY bound third suitcase. Ample free street parking. Store is open 7 days a week with the late day being Saturday till 7 pm. I would highly recommend visiting this store, the outlets and then driving another 18 miles east to the English coast where you feel that beautiful North Sea breeze as you take that gorgeous bite from the Cadbury Twirl Orange bar looking east with Amsterdam, The Hague and Rotterdam just 177 miles away.

So you know that hackneyed saying, 'Like a kid in a candy store'?…read more Whoever said it first was probably talking about Mr Simms Olde Sweet Shoppe. Yeah, it's a franchise. No, I haven't ever seen another one other than this one in Colchester. And, really, Colchester is the perfect place for a 'Ye Olde' candy shop, so I'm going to pretend that it's the one-and-only. Situated on a very quaint and medieval-looking lane, Mr Simms jumps out at kids and adults alike, with its dark brown wooden façade and recreated 'olde worlde' windows that allow passers-by to peer in and gawk at the floor-to-ceiling rows upon rows of delicious, sugary delights, with classic and newfangled sweets equally represented. Whether you pick out individually packaged fudge from the self-service shelves or ask for a staff member to measure you out half a kilo of gummy bears and three snakes from the candy hoard behind the counter, you'll leave this place with enough child-like, sugar-induced euphoria to get you through to next week. Or, at least through to the end of your sugar rush.

I have visited this Wanstead local cafe for a number of years and they have managed to maintain a…read morefriendly and relaxed atmosphere as well as providing some of the best croissant around. Everything is baked on site and having spoken to the owner, they bring all their raw materials from France. I have been ordering birthday cakes from them for about 3 years now and they are never disappointing. Not your typical english sponge, but a real French cake so typical of what I have seen in France when I am there. Added a little to this at Christmas this year and treated everyone to the petits fours and hand dipped chocolate strawberries.well there were smiles all round. I can see why there is a queue every Sunday morning. NO ONE ELSE BAKES FRESH ON SUNDAY

I have tried all of the beverages, and I can state categorically that I have not tasted better anywhere. The snacks, albeit filled baguettes, rolls or sandwiches are freshly made and tasty. There are heated snacks as well, croque messieurs, filled croissants etc. The meals are exceptional in content and presentation and the menu changes regularly. There is something for everybody. All of the food (bread, rolls, croissants, pastries and gateaux) is made on the premises. Furthermore cakes can be made at relatively short notice for special occasions. Treat yourself, you will not regret it.

I like…read moregoing there but if I am on my own it can be difficult to find a table as whilst you are queueing for your drink other people come in and save tables. They do a reasonable choice of sandwiches, crisps etc. They also serve soup and have a good selection of some very tasty (and fattening) cakes. They do a lovely rich creamy hot chocolate and I particularly like their iced chocolate! Their drinks and food are quite pricey but nice. On the way out try walking past the shelves of chocolate and not buying some!

Dannys serves the kind of food that you expect from a authentic pie and mash shop. They also serve…read morea great Brekkie, my favorite includes egg, sausage, 2 bacon, beans, fried bread, plus an addition of mushrooms. My lunch standard has to be 1 pie and double mash with green liquor. The bangers and mash are also tasty. There are other pie and mash shops throughout London that are older such as L. Manze's in Walthamstow (I think the oldest in London), but if your looking for a clean shop with solid dependable food that also delivers good service look no further than Dannys. Staying in Redbridge a 10 minute walk to Gants Hill Tube and then a 10 minute bus ride gets me there!

When shoe shops, charity shops and gormless coffee shops are crowding the high street, it's a relief that we have something family-run and friendly like Danny's Pie & Mash. There isn't really a lot to say about this place - other than it's cheap, clean and tastes great. What else do you need to know?. It's as traditional as they come - and at a time when other small businesses in the high street are suffering; this place is always busy. I should also mention the breakfasts. If you're hungry and it's early; you should go get a 'Cockney Blowout' or 'The Biggest Breakfast In Barkingside'. More sausage, egg and bacon than you can handle!.
