Chestnut Bakery, Belgravia

The best bakery products I’ve ever eaten!

I ordered the Aubergine Parmigiana Croissant, which was the best savoury bakery product I’ve ever tasted. The croissants layers were delicate, crispy and the fillings was simply divine. The aubergine had a delicious caramelised flavour to it and the combination of flavours worked to perfection.

I was so impressed, I then ordered a pistachio and chocolate bun to takeaway. This was also just as amazing, the texture was unlike anything I’d had before, with a hard crunchy exterior and a soft gooey interior with chocolate and pistachio flavours oozing throughout. Simply delicious.

This was by far the best bakery I’ve ever been too.

A winner of the award for the best croissant in the UK, it is not surprising that at nearly 11am on a sunny morning in London, the bakery was very busy. However, I came to take my desired goods to go! £6.85 was the total for this visit as I bought the apple crumble rhubarb croissant, their April special. It was incredibly delicious!

The bakery staff were very nice and even provided a bag when I asked for one, if you are taking the bakes to go you will usually receive them in a box. Staff at the till were efficient but also those who were looking to get people seated, everything was done in a timely fashion and with a welcome smile. I will definitely come back to try more of their baked goods!

After Christmas, my girlfriend Zuzka and I spent 4 days in London and had breakfast at this bakery twice. We are vegans, so we chose the Vegan menu, which was excellent, from sandwiches, hummus, avocado, pastries and coffee. Everything was delicious. We will definitely eat there again on our next trip to London. We thank the staff for the high-quality, fast service and pleasant environment.

Overpriced, but I guess its London. 🤷🏽‍♂️
The burata, burnt honey is just a flat bread with a few dollops of cheese and drizzled with burnt honey (not sure what the burnt bit means 🤔). Not worth £14.25.
The pastrami bagle was nice 😋
The kimchi monkey bread was OK, bit doughy (not sure what the monkey bit is 🤔)
Twice baked pistachio croissant was decent 👍🏼
Service was a bit 🐌. Asked for an additional mug and didn’t get it 😕. The food came without plates👎🏼, had to ask. Cuttlery looked unwashed😯. Not enough napkins on table🫣

100 out of 10, this place was amazing. The staff were absolutely lovely, they had great energy and were so friendly and welcoming. We had the raspberry and pistachio bagel, and the bresaola and avocado bagel – all I can say is I want to eat that every single day – wow 🤩 can’t complain at all. The price is amazing for the quality of food and service that you get. I have a lot of allergies and they were accommodated, I had so much choice over food it was lovely.
