Chestnut Bakery, Covent Garden

Delicious stop. Had a pistachio and raspberry croissant, which was so so good (the Sesame brittle on top was a great add-on). Flaky, nutty, and fresh. The coffee itself was a letdown, but the croissant made up for it. Lovely place to sit upstairs and downstairs. Great friendly staff. It’s a bit pricey, but it is quality. Would definitely come here again.

I recently had the pleasure of visiting Chestnut Bakery and I must say, it was a delightful experience from start to finish. From the moment I stepped through the door, I was greeted by the heavenly aroma of freshly baked goods and the warm smiles of the staff.

The ambiance of the bakery is charming and inviting, with its cozy seating areas and rustic décor. It felt like stepping into a quaint European café, where time slows down, and every moment is savored.

Now, let’s talk about the star of the show: the pastries and baked treats. Each item on display looked like a work of art, and I couldn’t resist indulging in a few (okay, maybe more than a few) selections. From flaky croissants to decadent cupcakes, everything was baked to perfection and bursting with flavor.

But what truly sets this place apart is the passion and dedication of the bakers and staff. You can tell that each treat is crafted with love and attention to detail. The friendly service and personalized recommendations made my visit even more special.

And let’s not forget about the coffee! The rich aroma and smooth taste of their specialty blends perfectly complemented the sweetness of the pastries, creating a harmonious balance of flavors.

In conclusion, Chestnut is a true gem in the heart of Covent Garden. Whether you’re craving a morning pick-me-up or indulging in an afternoon treat, this bakery has something for everyone. I highly recommend paying them a visit—you won’t be disappointed!

I’ve been to this place countless times, and each visit is consistently wonderful. This time, I had the pleasure of introducing my family to its delights, and it did not disappoint. The flatbread, particularly the Zaatar and burrata with honey, continues to be a standout. And let’s not forget the butter croissant—highly recommended.

Had brunch with friends and food was delicious. We tried the zatar flat bread, cheese flatbread and some pastries which was innovative. Lovely atmosphere and good customer service. A little bit pricey but expected for the area.

Visited twice in two days. Really delicious food. The quality of the baked goods is excellent. There is a great choice of sweet and savoury items with some interesting combinations of flavours all very tasty. Very good quality of ingredients is used in each product.
Service is sometimes rushed but understandable as they are constantly very busy
