Best French Bakery in Enfield

"The ferns, fig trees and purple African lilies that clamber up the final three storeys of the 'Walkie Talkie' skyscraper are mere wallflowers at this 155m-high rooftop garden – it's the rather extraordinary 360-degree views of London (the best in the City) that make this vast, airport-terminal-like space so popular (advance booking recommended). Located on the 35th floor of 20 Fenchurch St, the Sky Garden has front-row seats for the Shard and vistas that gallop for miles east and west."

"Sky Garden pairs epic views with tasty cocktails and an indoors garden, how can you not love that?. Sky Garden has a 360° view all around London and a number of different bars and restaurants inside it. Access to Sky Garden is free but you have to book in advance if you want to skip the queues, don’t worry if you forget about booking, you can still access Sky Garden but you will have to wait a little longer before taking your perfect Instagram shots."

"A zany premium parlour all about indulgence to the highest degree, Chin Chin Labs is home to liquid nitrogen ice cream. While this might sound like a worn gimmick, Chin Chin Labs were among the first to this trend - a method of freezing the ice cream’s custard base instantly to make for a smoother and more flavourful result. Offering trusty flavours like burnt butter caramel and mango lassi, for those feeling extra indulgent their brownie cookie sundae will more than satisfy a sweet tooth."

"Coffee ice cream, a dusting of cocoa powder and the fluffiest, softest cloud of whipped mascarpone cream, the base of this brilliant tiramisu mash-up is a thick, super rich, brownie-like cookie that is soaked in espresso for an extra gooey texture. The Chin Chin team have truly outdone themselves here. Address: 54 Greek St, London W1D 3DS or 49-50 Camden Lock Pl, London NW1 8AF"

"The ice cream pioneers behind Chin Chin Labs have expanded its epicurean empire. The Chin Chin Club in Soho opens this month as a revolutionary cake and ice cream club. On the menu are deluxe sundaes, choux buns, and cookies with molten centres."

"This North London bakery describes itself as ‘a bit health conscious’: cakes contain low fat and sugar, but enough to ensure they taste delicious. Cutter & Squidge cakes make the perfect centrepiece for a big celebration too: the Macron Drip Cake, for instance, is a layered creation decorated with macarons, topped with chocolate shards and finished with 24 carat gold. Vegan cakes are also available, and everything can be personalised."

"A Biskie is a sandwiched dessert that’s essentially a cross between a cake and a cookie and is filled with cream or other ingredients. You can find Biskies only at Cutter and Squidge, a cute little bakery with locations in Soho and Bank. Their Salted Caramel Biskie is award winning and if you’re vegan or GF you’ll still find delicious options to choose from."

"We wondered…"Can we vegan-ise our favourite blueberry lemon cheesecake cake?" 🤔 Wonder no more… we did it!!. Blueberry buttercream, tangy cheesecake and vanilla sponge 🍰 Head down to Soho today for a slice, also available online to order 😍.

"Hampstead Heath is already a pretty objectively lovely place but the fact that Karma Bread also calls that area home makes it even lovelier. As one of the best bakeries in London, Karma Bread offers a wide array of baked goods that take inspiration from everything from traditional Jewish recipes and New York delis. Karma’s challah bread is the stuff of legend and their dark, dense and delicious New York rye is one of the few versions in the city that wouldn’t look out of place in Borough Park, Brooklyn."

"Okay, let’s get the groaning puns out of the way first: LBP’s founders started by pedalling around London on bikes, peddling their breads at various markets. Now they use electric vans and have a permanent home at Spa Terminus in Bermondsey, where loyal customers queue up in all weathers to buy their wares every Saturday. Their naturally leavened sourdough bread is ‘wow’, but that’s just the start: also try out their soda bread, seeded loaves, ficelle and ring-shaped tortano."

"You may have unknowingly had one of LBP’s pastries while at a cafe. They are a bakery based in Bermondsey that supplies their delicious pastries to many cafes across London, and famously open their doors to the public only on Saturdays (this fact is so last year). Very recently they have opened a new location in Pimlico so more people can get to their amazing creations, 7 days a week!"

"They may only be open to the public on Saturdays but they sell their goods in bakeries all across London. In our opinion, they make some of the best croissants this side of the channel."

"Just a stroll from Hackney City Farm, Lanark is one of east London’s lesser-known excellent cafes, opened by Greg Boyce and Dom Sherington. Roasters are rotated with near alarming regularity: Alchemy, Square Mile and Dark Arts more frequently on the roster, with a pared back menu of espresso, espresso with milk, and filter. ‘Supersize dat’ if you’re after something larger; that said, for straight-up deliciousness, the quality of the espresso is on a par with anywhere in the city."

"Coffee and sandwiches are the bread and butter of Lanark Coffee, and while the lure of a kimcheese grilled sandwich makes a visit to this tidy espresso bar essential, it’s earned its place on this list of the best coffee shops in London based purely on its java offering. Lanark only hosts coffee from locally based micro-roasters in small batches to ensure that everyone gets their moment in the sun. And a moment in your flat white."

"Potli is a wonderful sit-down restaurant that excels at Indian short eats and flavourful dishes designed for sharing with your closest chums. You’d be rude not to come for a blowout lunch or dinner at this Hammersmith local but it’s the dessert at Potli – which means “little bag of gold” – that might just be its most valuable asset. The paan ice cream, which gets its distinct colour and flavour from betel leaf, is one of the best versions of that refreshing, herbal-y dessert you’ll find in London."

"Bars and pubs Gastropubs King’s Cross. With its first-floor wraparound terrace and an alfresco area overlooking Regent’s Canal in King’s Cross, this capacious bar-restaurant hybrid is a magnet for waterside drinkers and diners. The Lighterman’s alfresco spaces all operate on a first-come, first-served basis, so prepare for a bun fight on hot days."

"Set beside Regent's Canal, The Lighterman is a stunning all-day bistro with a sunny terrace perfect for alfresco-style drinking and dining. Open from 7:30am, this place serves boozy brunches, quick lunches and sumptuous Sunday feasts - all with a gorgeous waterside backdrop."

"An outdoor restaurant in King's Cross, known for its Sunday roasts and views across the canal, The Lighterman is a premium option for both summer and winter as you enjoy all that North London has to offer perched by the water."

"The name was enough to pique my interest, and with two lunchtime courses for £15, it’s intoxicatingly cheap too. It’s a charming bistro in Primrose Hill, with an intriguing dessert option called Absinthe Crème Brûlée…"

"The ultimate in rustic charm, complete with a real meadow on its doorstep, Petersham Nurseries and its magical hothouse café provide perfect balm for frazzled urbanites. Sit at one of the rickety tables and enjoy some seasonal Italian-inspired food against a backdrop of palm trees, scented jasmine, antique mirrors and Indian blinds. Richmond’s ‘ladies who lunch’ wisely book well ahead for the chance to eat here."

"Church Lane, off Petersham Road, Richmond, Surrey, London, London, TW10 7AB. Prices are high at this remote café/teahouse/shop, but it’s a unique spot worth visiting at least once. Many of the ingredients used in the seasonal Italian dishes are sourced from the beautiful walled garden of Petersham House, so seasonality and up-the-the-minute freshness are guaranteed."

"A celebrated destination in the well-heeled London suburb of Richmond, Petersham Nurseries mixes internationally renowned horticulture and cuisine inspired by the garden's best available produce. By supporting small farmers and artisan producers…"

"A post shared by The Hummingbird Bakery (@hummingbbakery) on Mar 26, 2018 at 8:09am PDT. Home of the red velvet cupcake, succumb to temptation with a visit to the original Hummingbird on Portobello Road in Notting Hill, where you can sample the decadent range of cupcakes, layer cakes, brownies, pies, cheesecakes and more. Hummingbird also has branches in Soho, Islington, Spitalfields, Richmond and South Kensington."

"Finally, the cupcakes at Hummingbird Bakery are also a highlight from London’s baked goodies selection. There are plenty of take-home goodies on offer here, too!. 133 Portobello Road, London"

"Yep, for a limited time, the famous bakehouse are bring ing some of Heinz’s best-loved condiments to the world of cakes. Think baked beans, ketchup. tomato soup and even salad cream."

"Keeping vegan doesn’t mean you have to go without cookies as long as Ms. Cupcake in Brixton is around. Understandably, cupcakes are the cornerstone of this vegan bakery, but of course, it also offers cookies and cookie sandwiches with delicious icing in-between. If you’re starting out on the road to veganism, Ms. Cupcake has plenty of baking supplies and cookbooks as well as offering classes to help you eat healthier."

"A post shared by Ms. Cupcake - Vegan Bakery (@mscupcakeuk) on May 10, 2018 at 12:50pm PDT. London's first entirely vegan bakery, Ms Cupcake doesn't let a little thing like no butter, eggs, milk, cheese or honey stand in her way. Head down to the Brixton outlet to stock up on her creative results: including freshly baked cupcakes, cookies, savouries and more besides."

"Ms. Cupcakes is London’s first vegan confessionary shop that specializes in cupcakes located in Brixton. I don’t really go for Vegan food bit these cupcakes are wonderful. They also offer brownies, cookies, tray-bakes."
