This place has been on my list for ages I just haven't had the chance to go as its completely on the other side from where I live. Finally I got a chance today and all I can say is that it dis not disappoint. The croissant are absolutely delicious! Honestly best in Leicester. My kids enjoyed their treats too. I cannot wait to visit again. Now I understand why there are always queues for this place...
Almond scones are quite addictive 😀 I love the atmosphere there, and you can feel they do put a lot of heart and effort into making sure every single product will meet the customer's expectations 😀
We have been coming here since the shop opened and I must say everything I have had from here has been delicious.
The food is good for what you can get in Leicester and it is convenient as we live nearby.
Everyone is really friendly at the shop which is great but sometimes you are pressured to quickly get what you want as there is always a massive queue and the shop itself is tiny.
There is on street parking if you are lucky.
The only downside I would say it is very very pricey, I do get “ you get what you pay for “ but it is very expensive and could be a bit cheaper with them still making profit, especially in times like these.
Cheesecake croissant is in my top 3 tinyB pastries ever to have been swooned upon/ eaten. Lemon curd/ cream cheese and biscuit crumb, topped with a ginger biscuit. It does NOT get any better than this. To think it was only available for two days- how many must have missed out on this beauty!
They bake the most fantastic sourdough bread that will make THE best toast you ever had - crunchy on the outside and chewy on the inside. This poppy seeded version is a thing of beauty... Nice coffee too.
Amazing staff, such good energy and all had a smile on their face :) I had 2 deserts and both were fantastic. There is parking on the street too which made it easier. I want to go back and try their sourdough bread as i have heard good things.
Top notch pastries. So much choice I wanted to order it all.
Went for the chocolate, hazelnut brioche loaf, pain au chocolate, and chocolate twist in the end. All amazing.
They also do cakes, bread, and coffee as well.
They aren't open on Sunday, so worth stocking up for the weekend on Friday or Saturday. Take-away only. It is a really tiny unit they are operating out of.
You know this bakery is the real deal when you have queues 8am first thing on a Saturday morning!
Expect to find all sorts of baked goods you wouldn't see at your typical bakery, with flavours perfect for any persons liking. Favourite was the Almond Croissant, extremely soft with a scrumptious almond filling this has to be one of the top bakeries in Leicester.
I travelled from Essex to Leicester for this destination, the shop it truly tiny and the opening hours are actually true as in Google. Unfortunately to the traffic yesterday I got a little late to this destination to find out not much was left , and the matcha croissant I got was rock hard and not really any exiting taste to it. I visited today again before travelling back to Essex and there was so many items today and I managed to get a few bits for my journey back. The almond croissant is fairly fresh and tasty the rest I didn't particularly enjoyed but thats to my own preference not their fault.
I came in quite late so only got a vegetarian savoury (most cakes were still available), I loved it! The flakey salt was a great touch too.
I must try and be earlier to try the other goodies
Edit: added picture of one of the seasonal treats they offer, pistachio creme pat inside was wonderful.
