Rough Hand Made

Not sure if you’d call this place a hidden gem because it was quite busy but this is bakery heaven. I felt like I was abroad when I was here. Upon entering you are greeted by a large open kitchen seeing the bakers at work. In front of the kitchen they have a selection of freshly made sweet pastry’s and then around the corner nearer the till you have the savoury options. Despite them having limited stock when I visited, I quite liked it because it showed that everything was being made fresh and that once it’s ready it’s being served to customers. No stale food here, it’s a moving system. If they don’t have what your after just wait and you’ll soon be able to put your mouth around something scrumptious. We couldn’t believe how massive the croissants were. They were pure beasts!! We got a white chocolate and a milk chocolate one. I also got an almond plait and a spinach and feta pastry roll. I couldn’t resist and had to get the velvet hot chocolate as well. The croissants were very springy and tasty. The fillings were lovely. The milk chocolate was even nicer because they were just made so were beautifully warm. The spinach and feta pastry was also nice. The hot chocolate was wonderful. Maybe not for someone with not quite a sweet tooth as my wife couldn’t drink all of it. I bloody loved it! Finally the almond plait was fantastic. More on the less sweet side but excellent sugary crisp on the outside, buttery softness in the middle and very tasty almond flavour. Overall, I love this place and so does many others. The only slight negative I could find is that the staff could maybe be a little friendlier. They are obviously busy which is fair but happier staff makes it a significantly more welcoming atmosphere. I also found out that anything they don’t sell they give to charities. Amazing!

Saw this place on instagram and it was well worth the visit! The croissants were incredible, the best I have ever had! I am a huge bakery fan and these really met my high standards. I can’t wait to visit again when I come back to Liverpool.

First time I saw it it had a queue of people (it moves very quickly, don’t worry) but it was absolutely justified - giant sizes, a great selection of sandwiches and pastries that I’ve not seen anywhere else. The white chocolate croissant and feta omelette sandwich were good enough to make me go back to Liverpool very soon. Run don’t walk!

Wow!! You don't have to travel all the way to France to get the world's best croissants!! Just Liverpool!! Amazing! But.. get there early as they sell out quickly!!!

Everything there is always fresh, delicious and reasonably priced if you consider the size and quality of you get. One croissant os probably double se size of a normal one Staff always lovely
