In a neighbourhood that’s become spoilt for carbohydrate choices, the queues that still weave out of this bakery are an excellent sign. Sourdough bread has a serious crust and forgiving chew. Special loaves - light rye, olive, porridge - come out on select days of the week. But every day is a great day for pastry fans.

Savoury bites include kimchi and cheddar croissants erupting with crunchy rivers of cheese. Kids devour the coils of gently spiced morning buns. Classic croissants, decadently frosted cakes, danishes topped with the season’s finest fruit, and petite sweets including pastel de nata fill the cabinet.

Coffee is made with Market Lane beans, and there’s also a full menu of sandwiches and toasties, plus rotating topped focaccia. Nab a seat if you can or head to the nearby park - and don’t forget to pick up Assembly tea, house-made ferments or some good cultured butter from the retail section before you go.
