fantastic traditional bakers 
The bread is fantastic enough to be 'a meal in itself' - but whilst staying nearby I found myself dropping in here everyday, the cakes are fantastic - apple pies, egg custard tarts, sweet baby moses, I doubled in weight in a week thanks to this place

Review of Maison Bertaux

If it's good enough for the Mighty Boosh..
it's good enough for me. I've only ever bought stuff to takeout from here, so I can't comment on the 'eating in' experience. But these things you should know: 1) Cost becomes an irrelvance when cakes are this good - strawberry cheesecake is the best i've ever hadm, and a chocolate mousse/cake/torte thing they do is so insanely good, it became nicknamed 'the chocolate bastard; due to your inability to resist by some delightful colleagues of mine. 2) the place looks fantastic. In a world seemingly taken hostage by units churned out to a corporate formula, places like this need to be celebrated. Go here, drink some tea and stuff your face with cake, but not if it means i have to queue behind you!
