— OUR STORY, IN ONE PARAGRAPH

A London-style bakery, on a Downtown corner.

Hampstead is a north-London neighbourhood famous for its bakery windows and its Sunday-morning queues. We borrowed that quiet ritual — proper sourdough, warm scones, unhurried tea — and put it on the ground floor of Fountain Views, beside the dancing fountains.

One room. One counter. The morning bake, every morning.

— THE COUNTER

From the
morning bake.

A small selection from today's counter — the full board changes daily and is best discovered in person.

— THE BREAD

Slow-fermented sourdough

Eighteen-hour ferment, every loaf.

Cut to order at the counter; ask for the heel if you mean to butter it on the walk home.

— THE PASTRY

Almond croissant

Twice-baked, properly creamed.

The Saturday-morning regular. Best with a flat white.

— THE CAKE

Victoria sponge

Jam, double cream, dust of icing.

We have not changed this recipe since opening. We will not.

— THE TART

Lemon meringue

Sharp curd, soft meringue, butter base.

On the counter from Wednesday onwards; gone by Sunday lunch.

— THE SCONE

Plain & raisin scones

Baked on the half hour.

Served warm with clotted cream and strawberry preserve, the proper way.

— THE BREW

Builder's tea

PG Tips, brewed strong.

Or earl grey, or breakfast blend. Decaf available; always bring milk.
