Pastry Art

This is my favourite place to spend a Sunday morning for Croissants and coffee, even though we live about 18 miles away. We generally drive the 40 mins. every couple of months or even more regular in the summer months then head off to Columbia Road Flower market after. The coffee is excellent, Monmouth coffee (one of my favourites) and for those that like Oat Milk like me in their flat white they have Oatly Barista, there just is no other like it. I generally always have the Spinach and cheese croissant and my partner the ham and cheese croissant which they can heat up for you. We've tried many of the Danish pastries, the pear one is particularly good, but to honest they are all excellent. The people serving are always friendly and everything is made fresh by a real person (as per the picture). After, if you can squeeze in some more food, pay a visit to Maltby Street Market food stalls just outside the door. There are loads of different foods to choose from. As you meander down you’ll come across a few restaurants also (the pizza one always looks good) and another coffee shop down the opposite end.

Nice bakery found nearby London Bridge, they have 3 branches in the area and this one is the biggest which have both indoor & outdoor seating area for having a coffee. I was there on a rainy day yesterday so no outdoor seating. Their open bakery allow you to see their bread making process 😊 Highly recommend their butter croissant and the almond croissant 🥐 , taste delicious and if you are taking home, reheat in oven make it even better 👍

Delicious croissants, cakes (especially the brownies) and fresh tasting baguettes. I like this branch of Comptoir because it's where they do all the baking and it's quiet during the week. At the weekend it is busy due to Maltby Street Food Market. There are seats inside plus a couple of benches/tables on ropewalk. It has cosy interiors with a rustic vibe and is inside a railway arch - it's cute!!!! I took a few pictures because I'm writing an article for my blog.

The pastries are so good!! I tried the eclair and pan au chocolate and one of the best in London. Coffee is great also. Giving 4 stars not 5 because staff is not very friendly I ordered coffee with oat milk and the barista mistakenly used normal milk and when I told her she was super passive aggressive with me
