East Bristol Bakery

Good sourdough, I love the thick caramelised crust and the crumbs was moist and tender. I bought the large white sourdough. Don’t hesitate to grab the large ones as it would be gone before you know! It was so good with just simple good quality of olive oil and balsamic vinegar. Very friendly staffs with lovely smiles!

Service feels painfully slow. I actually heard the server say “I’m just not rushing today, I don’t feel great”. Prices are stupid. Great bread though.

What witchcraft is this? I just moved up the road, heard good things, thought I could handle it—how wrong I was.

I ate what can only be described as the most bloody amazing almond croissant ever. A hefty boy, a nice weight to him and sporting a good tan, it was flaky in all the right places, ever so buttery and crispy and fragrant, topped off with perfectly toasted almonds and dredged in powdered sugar. Inside, a decadent almond dream—not the sickly sweet artificial garbage you usually get fobbed off with. This was the real deal.

Just to blow my own mind, I adulterated the poor sod with a streak of almond butter—which if you haven’t done before you must immediately, but sit down before you do because it’s next level stuff.

I need to move house again or I will quickly become an almond croissant myself.

AHHHH as a Danish person living in Bristol I felt like i needed to review this place, and I tell you, the cinnamon swirl IS OUT OF THIS WORLD!!! Lots of cinnamoney sugar and butter, what more can you ask for! And this is with years of experience eating cinnamon swirls growing up in Scandinavia… also don’t even get me started on the Pan Au Chocolat or the DELICIOUS specialty sourdough bread (with sesame seed on top) it was still WARM when I got home like Oh MA GWAD! My partner asked if I wanted it toasted, like WHAT! Such sacrilege!! I luckily changed his mind. Only sad thing is that they are closed Sundays, so due to my Mon-Fri work hours i can only go Saturdays… Which probably is for the best for both my shape and wallet anyway! If you come this far, just go there already. If you are looking for a sign, this is it. Treat yo self.

Smashing out some of the finest sourdough in the northern hemisphere. With steep and rich local competition. Much chat about their vegan take on a seasonal classic, the hot cross bun. It’s a beautiful thing, but does it beat the Bristol Loaf? Jury’s out. Eat them both.
