From a super fluffy cinnamon bun to a dense, deeply rich, Valrhona chocolate brownie, these are my top picks of the month.
Cinnamon bun: Niste at Benk & Bo
Cinnamon bun with swirls of gooey, cinnamon date paste and zingy lemon icing on top. Made with Wildfarmed flour and good-quality olive oil, the dough has the most wonderful, pillow-soft texture.
4 Gravel Ln, Greater, London E1 7AW
Loaf cake: Pearl & Groove
Soft almond sponge filled with zingy strawberry sauce, a generous dollop of strawberry buttercream plus crushed meringue on top. The P&G loaf cake with flavours of Eton mess.
30 Exmouth Market, London EC1R 4QE
Semla: Bageriet
Fluffy cardamom bun layered with thick almond paste, swirls of cloud-like whipped cream and powdered sugar on top.
24 Rose St, London WC2E 9EA
Tahini cookie: Maison Bleue
Soft, chewy rye cookie with tahini, Valrhona chocolate chunks and sesame seeds on top.
19 Calabria Rd, London N5 1JB
Brownie: Café Kitsuné
Rich, gluten-free Valrhona brownie with chopped pecans, a layer of flawlessly smooth milk- and dark chocolate ganache plus a gold-flecked pecan on top. Fudgy, creamy and a little crunchy, this huge chunk delivers texture and taste.
19 Motcomb St, London SW1X 8LB
