At Penny for Pound’s Bridge Road bakery – much bigger than its original hole-in-the-wall location at the rear of Mayday cafe –croissants are filled with almond frangipane and tangy blueberry jam, while orange-poppyseed escargot is so zesty it’s like bathing in citrus. Crack through the chocolate glaze of a peanut butter cup cruffin to reveal its oozing salty-sweet centre.
Good to know: Nab a pack of pre-made croissants or pain au chocolat to bake at home and impress your friends.
