The Bakers Of Muswell Hill

Very good organic wholemeal bread (Fri-​Sun), cholla, cheesecake (European style — not too rich or sweet). Also good quiche. I’m not so keen on the croissants (a bit too bready) or the granary bread (too light) but that’s a matter of taste. Very good value for money, especially for the neighbourhood, and helpful staff.

Would not recommend this bakery. The manager treats his staff badly and try dealing with him when there’s a problem and see how he then treats his customers. Go to chorak, sable d’or round the corner and get better quality food too.

I pass this place every day and notice they have ‘home made cheese’cake’ in the window that I’ve been tempted to try everytime I pass! So it happened today!!! To be honest I was a little disappointed that she actually got me a piece that had been sitting by the window in the sun… for who knows how long… it tasted nice enough but kinda fell apart in my hands! LO! However this place is pretty cheap and has a variety of cakes, sweet thing, bread, pastries etc etc. Definitely worth a check!

Use your loaf and support your local business. You don’t need a lot of dough to shop here, so what are you waiting for?
I imagine like me, you don’t think about your bread a lot. You probably have a favourite brand, but don’t put too much thought into it, you just scoop it into your shopping trolley once a week. If it isn’t the supermarkets own branded stuff, it probably cost anything between 89p and £1.89. Does it always last, or like me do you end up throwing the last few slices out?
So it was, on a Saturday morning I find myself with no bread, it’s a 5 minute walk to Sainsbury’s, or 2 minutes to The Bakers of Muswell Hill. I guess I’d always assumed it would be expensive. Fact: IT IS CHEAPER THAN ANYWHERE ELSE. That last fact obviously depends on what you have, but a loaf of bread starts at 79p. I could have had one taken out of the oven fresh, but they said it would be too warm to slice, and being lazy I went for one that had been out of the oven half an hour already. Any idea how long the ones in the supermarket have been out. Hours? a day or two? You can actually watch the guys in the back baking the bread here, and still the price starts at 79 measly pence. The prices go up as your choice increases, granary, different shapes and sizes. I don’t know what the crocodile shaped loaf in the window costs, but I love it. There are of course pastries and sweet things, and the girl who served me had some lovely buns too!
Seriously, why do people not shop locally and more specialised? I guess convenience and cost. Well cost is no longer an issue, and it’s nearer my house than the supermarket. I imagine that is true for a lot of you, so I hope there’ll be a queue this Saturday.

The bread is excellent!

I love this bakery, the do delicious pastries, so is a bit of a must visit for me on a weekend morning!
The staff are really nice, and it has the feel of being somewhere that has very loyal regulars. Everytime I go in there is always a little wait, and they know a lot of the customers by name, which I always think is a sign that somewhere is doing things right!
