The pastries are gorgeous, and, for the calorie and coin counter, some are 'mini' versions of the usual-sized goodies (think: croissants, pain au chocos, and sows' ears--don't know what ya'll call 'em here) at a fraction of the price. The loaves of bread (challah, white, wheat, light rye) seem to come both bagged and unbagged. The bagels are displayed in open baskets out on the floor and appear to be sold singly. Help yourself...to a pair of tongs! I was surprised and happy to see the tongs. Too bad there weren't any judiciously placed near the unbagged loaves. I stood next to a man who picked up around five separate loaves of wheat (and one bagette) in both hands in order to caress their middles and squeeze gently on their crusts. At one point it looked as if he were going to bring a loaf up to his ear. I expect he was hoping to hear the ocean. After all the fingering, he actually bought one! I bought a small, bagged rye loaf for £1.55. After watching the 'Bread Whisperer' do his thing on the wheat loaves, I left the naked bagels untouched. I'll be back, however, for some Hammentaschen and mini sows' ears!

Although a busy dining room meant a longer wait for our meals, it was still worth it. The only sandwich we've ever tried in the deli is the chicken tarragon, we really enjoyed it because the portion was perfect. Bakery goods were mediocre and definitely weren't produced by themselves. Sausage rolls were dry and probably more than a day old.

I literally thought they gave me half a bagel before I opened the bag! And was charged 3 pounds for the pleasure!! I'm guessing times are pretty rough as their deli display is very lean.

Go for a coffee or the lovely bagels, my fav is tuna and mayo, you will love them and not forgetting the banter with the lovely ladies. The bagels are soft, stuffed with your fav filling and cheaper than a bag of chips from across the road (well not entirely but you get what I mean). Happy days.

The Parish Bakery in Barnes is one of the best bakeries in the area. Rather than making big claims…read moreabout being 'artisan', having 'high quality' produce and then charging the earth for it, the Parish Bakery focuses on serving good food at low prices. Filled baps sell for just £1.50, and some of the best examples of rock cakes, chelsea buns or fluffy iced buns I've had, at the startingly low price of 75p. They also sell bread which I haven't tried. On a Saturday it competes with the array of bakery stalls at Barnes Food Fair and despite the undoubted quality and variety of the goods at the latter, the Parish Bakery holds its own, even at its low price point. Very impressive. I struggle to think of an independent bakery with the same quality-value combination.

The staff here are pretty rude too, one lady refused to acknowledge me whilst the second said bare minimum to me. Neither of them smiled during my whole transaction despite the fact I tried to make conversation and asked how the day was going. The prices are high for pre-bought food but the fillings are nice. There are only three or four items that have the prices on them and everything is entered into the till and calculated manually by them. The problem is the sainsburies next door sells almost everything they do and for much cheaper. They charge double for a bag of crisps and a drink in the bakery. This bakery would be worth it if there was actually baking done but there isn't. Even the sausages taste like the cheapest ones you can buy. In short, you're better off popping into one of the other shops along the high street where things are actually made freshly.

The ladies behind the counter were nice enough to answer each question about each goody. My eyes are bigger than my stomach and my stomach is freaking humongous like a mofo. We ended up getting a chocolate cake, variety of cookies, hybrid donut/muffin, a tarty tart, and my favorite European bake good, a marzipan truffle roll. Why can't I find a marzipan truffle roll in the States?! If you know where I can find such delectable treat, please holla at cha girl! This place is popping, I would go back if I could. Tip...

In the mornings they have little breakfast things like croissants and pain au chocolats and sausage rolls and bacon sandwiches and all are gloriously inexpensive. They also have a whole load of filled rolls and will make odd things if you have particular requests. The Chelsea buns are very nice and the tea cakes also. Oh, and the custard tarts.

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.
