Doughnut Time

Aussie-based bakery Doughnut Time became Insta-famous for its Nutella-oozing doughnuts. Earlier this year, the mint green hole-in-the-wall bakeries arrived in the UK and brought with them a selection of crowd-pleasing creative designs with fun flavour names such as “Houston we have Biscoff”, “Hot Line Ring” and “Bellatwix Lestrange”. There’s also a limited edition Great British Bake Off special called “We Miss You Mary” - the perfect accompaniment for your Tuesday night viewing (Sorry Prue).

Nordic Bakery

Minimalistic Scandinavian-style café, Nordic Bakery is the ultimate spot for picking up simple but delicious baked goods. From rye bread sandwiches to cinnamon buns, this is the perfect place to take a break from the hustle and bustle of city life. We particularly want to try their Chokladboll; a chocolate mocha ball rolled in chocolate with a cup of coffee sounds like a match made in heaven.

We’ve saved possibly the best for last. With its floral walls and pastel pink aesthetic, Élan Café is the ultimate Instagram-worthy bakery. Its menu is full of cakes, brownies and sweet treats, all of which pair perfectly with the eatery’s award-winning coffee. You may need to be prepared to queue to experience Élan, but we can guarantee it will be worth it.
