I knew Bread Ahead from their bakery and stall in Borough Market. I was really happy to hear they opened up a boutique bakery in the Hampstead high street. I am a big fan of the sourdough breads and coffees - always great quality. The famous bread ahead doughnuts are always a real treat. I like the fact they experiment with doughnut fillings, so you can always expect to see a new and interesting artisan doughnut flavour
Lovely bakery near the Hampstead underground station
I got a flat white, a Salmon and cream cheese sandwich, and a chocolate cookie
I liked all of them
My friends also tried the doughnuts and they were amazing, quite fresh and tasty
It was a perfect quick breakfast
Superb Bread quality according to Bread Ahead standards. The wholemeal Sourdough bread is Exceptional. A small shop next to the bookstore serving the Hampsted area. Caution, products sell quickly, so go early.
Absolutely brilliant bakers.
Sleeper hit: The pizza. Honestly the best pizza I’ve had in London - it beats all the chains and artisanal places too.
I wasn’t expecting much. It was just sat at the counter nondescript. But it blew me away. Super crispy base with a slight char. I don’t know how they achieved that effect. It’s like a thicker style New York pizza. Great ingredients as well. Definitely pick yourself up a slice - margarita in my opinion - and have it heated.
I am only getting my pizza from here from now on. Nowhere else.
Finally London has a decent pizza spot!
(Bread and doughnuts are good too)
My new favourite bakery in Hampstead. The doughnuts are fantastic, they are like Italian bomboloni. And the sourdough breads are of excellent quality. Today I stopped by for a coffee and treat but I will come again to try the cinnamon buns. They looked really good
Nice coffee, delicious doughnuts (especially the coconut and very welcoming.
Best chocolate croissants in Hampstead, and there are about 50 bakeries here (everything keeps closing down, and opening up as a new bakery). This place stands out though, they make things by hand and clearly use top quality ingredients. The people that work here are also lovely. Thank you! Ps congrats on the perfect chocolate dispersion. 🥐
Very delicious rye bread! Been looking for something hearty, German-bread type for a while. First time I found one that is fluffy, yet tasteful and filling!
Lovely staff :) they have amazing donuts! My favourite so far is cookies and cream donuts 😍
I was looking for a chocolate brownie for someone who knows their stuff about food. They are also a chocoholic.
I asked if their brownies are very chocolatey and they said they were.
I was worried this could be a sales pitch and not true; however it was, my friend was happy and the brownie was great.
I will definitely come here again with my familiy and friends to get treats.
Hampstead is a hard market as the people there expect quality but are willing to pay for it. This place should do well, especially as their service is so nice and friendly.
Their almond croissants are honestly pure buttery genius magic. Many come for their doughnuts which I’m not a huge fan of but love other things like pistachio pain au chocolat too.
I only recently came across Bread Ahead at Borough Market.
Pizza & Carrot Cake Excellent. I then found online they have several outlets around London. Yesterday , I visited the shop on Hampstead High Street.
No pizza but everything else was available.
Anna helped me select my purchase. She was friendly, helpfully and was very informative regarding the company.
Her efforts should not go unnoticed. Any employer would be happy knowing the efforts made by this employee to show the benefits of this company.
I'll be visiting Bread Ahead again, shortly. 10/10
Dear me. Just tried one of their mince pies and really it’s the best one I’ve ever had 🥰 the mince meat in it is just perfect.
Oh and the bread is fabulous too. As a German it’s hard to find bread that’s good here …but this place definitely has that.
I very much enjoyed your egg and tomato rolls for lunch which you sent as substitutes for spinach feta rolls not available.
But watch out ! I will be coming again for spinach feta rolls for lunch which I particularly like .
Yours RP
5★ for the honeycomb donut
Not impressed by the cinnamon bun
Will comeback for those donuts !
Lovely little bread ahead shop in Hampstead. Everything you can expect from bread ahead…we had a delicious potato and rosemary loaf that was spot on, the right amount of potatoes and that touch of rosemary that was just perfection.
