We got their sourdough bread which was great. Soft crust which i like and very fresh. We got 4 scones: apple pie, cinnamon, lemon blueberry and chocolate. I had asked one of the staffs to pick 4 out for me and we really enjoyed their choice. I took away 1 star coz they didnt tell me it would be cheaper to but 6 scones, which i gladly would have done but i found out about that from uber eats.

The bread is always lovely, fresh and crisp. A little pricy in comparison to other options but if you fancy something nice for an evening this is your spot! For regular purchases I think its a bit pricey but the quality good!
