Chestnut Bakery, Covent Garden

"The Tiramisu Danish and pistachio croissant are genuinely some of the best pastry work in Covent Garden. Coffee is solid enough to make this a proper sit-down stop, not just a grab-and-go."

What we love

• •Independent, owner-operated bakery with a serious pastry programme
• •Beverage menu goes beyond espresso, with matcha and other alternatives on offer
• •Dedicated barista on the counter, not just a generalist server
• •Attentive service from a team that actually knows the menu
