"Absolutely loved this place! I was staying in Highcliffe for only 2 weeks and visited this bakery 4 times. I tried a variety of cakes and pastries but if you only get one thing, make it the PRALINE CROISSANT. WOW. This is one of the best croissants i’ve ever eaten, better than so many London bakeries and only £3.25. The whole bakery is so cheap for what it is, and they all get baked locally and delivered fresh every morning. I would also recommend the carrot cake and cinnabunnut (cinnamon bun doughnut ring, worth every calorie). Their coffee is also amazing, the cappuccino was sweet and foamy, no burnt milk or sour coffee in sight. Would like to say that all of the staff are really lovely too, very chatty and sweet! Best bakery in Highcliffe"
