"Quaint little local bakery definitely worth checking out! All baked goods are made in store so it doesn’t taste as processed and overly flavoured as most baked goods. Extra plus is that coffee’s from roastery called Millers (not as common but really good beans!). We had a sugar twist donut (so good and well fried - oil does not taste old - crispy on the outside soft on the inside), ham and cheese toastie, and a strawberry cream maritozzi (can’t say no to a cream bun and it’s not overly sweet too extra plus - cream was also very light) Took away iced strawberry matcha, and some cookies and croissants and they did not disappoint! Do check them out"
