A great bakery announces itself before you see the sign. Warm bread, toasted sesame and cardamom drift onto the pavement and turn an ordinary morning into a small occasion.
Go early
Neighbourhood bakeries move with the rhythm of their community. Arrive early for the widest choice, ask what has just left the oven, and try the speciality the baker is proudest of.
Order for the table
The best discoveries are shared. Mix something familiar with one new flavour, add tea, and let breakfast stretch a little longer.
