First time here, had 2 almond croissants and tea, coffee. Just after 8am, so pretty empty, like what they've done with the decor, food and drinks arrived by the lovely waitress, croissants were amazing, staff friendly. Plenty of choice for breakfast/lunch etc.
Paid the bill......£15.00. Little excessive we thought for 2 drinks and 2 croissants. Wouldn't take the whole family after that but happy to go once a while for a treat. Just the 2 of us.
The best baked things I've ever had in Britain. There is nothing I've ever eaten from TMB that hasn't been extraordinary. Today's Sourdough Granary was a revelation - fluffy, nutty, beautiful crumb and a just hint of natural sour. I've eaten (my colleague said "devoured") half the loaf in 3 minutes... Mouthfuls of joy!
I do have to give this place a ton of credit; whenever I walk past in the mornings on my way to work I always get a wave and smile from the staff working in the front... So this endeared me to TMB massively. I had a medical appointment on the 16th and felt like I should treat my mum to a treat here (long overdue) but also we've always viewed this as an upmarket (posh) bakery so have always been a bit worried about trying it. There was no need! I asked about gluten free options and was advised they only have one option per day normally; Mondays offering was an opera cake. I tried this as I've never had one of them before, and my mum had a blueberry crumble flapjack. She was a bit un-keen but that's because she doesn't like mascarpone cheese and had forgotten that. The hot chocolate I ordered was divine, just dark enough and bordering on the edge of bitter and creamy; just divine. Mum had a latte but it was a bit too rich for her, bless her. The only reason I gave a four star is I would have adored at least one other food option on the menu for variety's sake but I do totally understand cross contamination and how procedures around that are very difficult. Overall, it was a beautiful visit and I'd love to return.
