Ye Olde Bakery

I hesitated editing my comment from 3 years ago... But I have to say that I am disappointed and a bit heartbroken. Since the change of ownership, I have seen long-term staff disappear, price rise, opening hours reduce, and importantly the bakery empty out of the incredible variety of bread it used to have. The bread shelves that rose all the way to the ceiling are gone. Only 2-3 kinds of bread loaves last time I came. Compared to 15+ before. Nothing compares 2 U old Old Post Office 💔 Don't get me wrong, the products are still good and they always have lovely people. But still... What a shame!

Brilliant bakery and patisserie. The dark sourdough bread was excellent, the pain au Chocolat and the cheese croissant were also very good. There are so many tempting items on display that it's really hard to choose what to buy. The service is also very warm and friendly. I will certainly come back again. Highly recommended.

Amazing pastries, agree they’re some of the best in the Clapham area and worth the walk. I don’t understand the negative reviews about service. It was fast, friendly and polite. I think some people are on a power trip and want to be idolised and worshipped by their shop assistants, aka the cringey American-type of service which is sadly slowly creeping into the UK more and more. The staff weee efficient and in no way rude, they’re busy and they’re doing their job well.

Without a shadow of a doubt, this is the best bakery I have ever been to in the UK!! Sausage rolls are delicious and took me a few orders to realise there was no meat in there. The other favourites include cheese and onion pastie (think that's also vegan or veggie), bread and butter pudding, so light yet intense in cinnamon and spices, pain au chocolat has over a trillion layers, never had anything like it and lastly their sourdough breads and almond crossoints are excellent! Can agree with some posts that staff aren't necessarily warming, but they've been there since the early mornings... and could never be replaced with any terrible supermarket bakery.
