Cinnamon Square

Heaven in a cinnamon roll!!! I worked near this wonderful place for a few months and swear I gained a good 10lbs from eating their famous Cinnamon Squares! They are to die for, trust me, I am from the South in the US and we know our baked goods. If i could eat a gallon of that icing alone I would. Unhealthy, I know but hey, you only live once. Their other treats are just as delightful too! Try some homemade soup with a slice of bread and you will be thanking me. It is a great place to have a spot of tea or grab some lunch while shopping the high street. I am a huge fan!!!
PS — Watch your step going in! You will know what I mean when you get there :)

Best local sweet… Buy a cinnamon square and a black coffee!!!

Great bakery and also doubles as a place for light lunch. The best coffee shop on Rickmansworth High Street area. Only thing is service is good but can be slow during busy periods.

It’s all about the bread here for me, particularly as at 6’5, I have nearly taken the top of my head off on the low ceilings (an Oompa Loompa would need to duck his head). It’s real bread, with the esential ingredient of time and just the key four ingredients — I live on the wheat and rye sourdough, you couldn’t want for more in your loaf. Only slight complaint, as a regular customer the staff make very little effort to engage or strike up any sort of friendly relationship.

Birthday’s can suck. But not when you discover a new amazeballs cake shop. People have been tree top hollering about this quaint little bakery-​come-​restaurant for ages, so what better day than a bday to have your cake and eat it?
Very scary mini door to get in which I almost caused a scene entering. Sure. Moving on, you have to marvel at the cake/​bread counter as you swiftly go and locate some seating. Seats are gold. There is an upstairs with extra seating but think if we’d been an extra 10 mins into munch hour trade and we would have been left with no bum space.
Vast amounts of sweet treats to tempt you with, Whoppie Pies, Brownies, Cake Pops (the new cupcake darhhhhhling), Muffin’s, Pies and of course, Cupcakes all lined up in fantastic colours and styles. Glad my diet doesn’t begin until Thursday.
Hadn’t had brekky so ordered a tuna melt… no ciabatta… erm this is a bakery right? So sulkily ordered a toasted granary baguette tuna melt and who knew this would be a life changing decision? Yum doesn’t cut the mustard here. I didn’t even eat all my Brownie as I hoovered this dream down so Dyson powered.
Now, my sarnie did takes it’s sweet (or savoury) time to come but luckily I wasn’t rushing or a hissy fit would have tipped up to the counter. And this led to us being offered complimentary cakes. Booo yea.
Décor, could be cooler but money has been spent in here. Clientele of yummy mummies and moneyed folk. There is also a ‘makery’ where you can learn to bake and they offer bespoke cake baking services, including cakes like castles and wedding cakes. Will they be able to meet my wedding cake standards. Watch this space as seriously considering ordering from here and that says an awful lot.

Cinnamon Square made my wedding cake for me. Delicious chocolate cake. Usually you have loads of cake left after a wedding all mine was eaten because it was so delicious. Really good service, lots of ideas for my cake. I would highly recommend them for the time and trouble they go to for a celebration cake.
As for the shop itself, much improved with the extension. Their cakes are good, but I find their sandwiches a bit dry. The loaves for home last for ages and are always tasty.

Coffee and Delicious Cinnamon Squares. They’ve nearly doubled in size since I was there last. (but the ceiling remains so low that I can’t stand up straight)
Cinnamon Square never disappoints, except when they actually run out of Cinnamon Squares!!! OK, but the Brownie is an acceptable alternative…

Cute little bakery, recently expanded although still tight. Nevertheless, they do the scrummiest buns, pastries, and cakes — and deliciously freshly baked bread. Loads of variety on the savoury side.
Too often though, the panini is overtoasted, the coffee is mediocre, and card is only accepted on orders over £10, but don’t let it deter you!
Definitely worth a try are the award winning cinnamon square buns, and the apple & cinnamon tarts! By far the best bakery in the area and the kind to be expected in this kind of area.
