For a meal built around bread, the pairing of sardine escabeche and five-grain bread stands out. One customer found the dish more like a composed plate than a typical bakery savoury, with the richness of the fish meeting the tang of the escabeche and the crunch of the vegetables. The five-grain bread offers a toasted aroma and the flavour of mixed grains; the same customer noted its combination of a satisfyingly rustic texture and a chewy crumb.

For something with more toppings, try the tartine with basil, tomato and mozzarella. This open sandwich is made with French bread, and one customer enjoyed the basil's aroma, the tomatoes' sweetness and the richness of the cheese.

Sweet options include menu choices such as chocolate and chestnut, and New York cheesecake cream. Croissants are also noted as a popular menu item; customers who have bought one mention its crisp exterior and buttery flavour.

Breakfast is available, and coffee is served, making this a place to consider for a morning bread stop. Takeaway is offered, and payment is cash only.
