I love their pastries and as tourist my first visit was two years ago but they left a really good impression I had to pass by again this year.
I recommend the sweet pastries and the cheese quiche.
English breakfast, but on a pizza slice. The liberal lashings of glaze make the offerings from Granier Bakery & Cafe attractive and enticing. There’s 120 branches of this Spanish store but the store still carries a friendly, neighbourly vibe. Pizza was about the £2 mark, and the chocolate bretzel at the £1.50 so it’s all affordable stuff and served up with a smile. Coffee was alright and the two baked items were delicious. I liked the bacon and egg mix on the pizza slice (feels Aussie though, ironically) and the flaky, chocolately pastry was a delight to crunch. It’s a big portion on both ends. Tasty baked treats and totally worthwhile.

This place sells awesome Portuguese Pastéis de Nata and just because of that is already a must go. They're really tasty - not so good as the real ones but good enough to kill a desire for Portuguese food. There you can find also some Portuguese and Spanish bread as also some other delicious cakes. Staff is really professional, helpful and capable of maintaining the space tidy and clean. Definitely is one of my favourite spaces to eat after work near Wood Green.

This lovely bakery and café offer a selection of pastries, pizzas and breads to either bring home or eat in the back seating area along side with a selection of coffees and the like. The place is nice and tidy, the staff professional and fast and the food is absolutely fantastic. The drinks aren't impressive and the tables are way to much on top of each other, so I would suggest to grab some pizza and enjoy the nearby garden if the weather allows it.
I've seen many Granier Bakeries in Europe, mainly in Spain and this is the first time I've seen one in London. Granier is a great place to have breakfast and/or lunch. There's lots of choices of pastries, breads and sandwiches, often with a continental twist like the Tortilla de Patatas sandwich.
The prices are actually comparable to most chain sandwich shops eg. Pret or Eat, but with a more upmarket feel especially the interior. The seating feels much more like a cosy independent cafe than a large chain. The staff are fairly quick to take your order, even when it's busy at lunch times.
Although not important for me, I did notice that the cafe is very much wheelchair friendly with wide doors and ramp to get to the rear seating areas. Well done!
This is a famous bakery franchise in Barcelona. You can find similar things: Spanish ham croissant, Spanish omelette “bocatas” (baguette sandwiches), and even freshly squeezed orange juice. However, it’s quite pricey even for London standards. A baguette sandwich in Pret is £3.5 and here it’s more than £4.
Best coffee in London for me. Friendly staff, quick preparation, the store manager has received praise and criticism gladly. I come to drink coffee only in this store.
Popped in for a light bite. Tasty food, good atmosphere with some comfy seats. Pricing not too bad for London either so worth a stop for some lunch. A good varied variety of food available here to suit most people including pizza slices and hot panini's with all types of coffees or smoothies to go with them.
Their bread is best in the area, coffee is also very good! 5stars!
It's such a Lovely place. It's a Nice and cosy place to visit. It's clean and modern. Staff are polite. We had few pastries and coffee. Whilst the croissant was nice, I found the almond pretzel too sweet. We had another one which was farrrr too sweet. Apart from that, Everything else was great.
This place is very much recommended. I would defo go again.
I am visiting the place lastly and I found a very good place to rest and enjoy some good bakery. I appreciated the attention given, particularly by the colombian girl, although she does not appear to be anymore in the front desk, but in the kitchen. What a pity!
Popped in for a coffee and ended up picking up a pastry too! Great coffee, great selection and good service - will definitely be back.
Good coffee, pastries and baguettes. New and clean, with a lot of space.
Amazing food and extremely friendly service.
