Perhaps they bought lots of things together and only realised afterwards. It is a lot of money for a coffee.

Ain't this the truth. Well said.

Toasted charges a lower price for a takeaway, I don't think Pretty's does. I think one Americano there is ?1.90

Bread of this type is expensive due to its high maintenance nature. However, the one comparison I've not seen is to Gails in the village. Their prices are way more eye watering...

I'm fortunate, hubbie did a bread making course as a 40th b'day pressie and if he doesn't make it we get blackbirds slow rise white but they often sell out. Will be popping in to try Brick Houses, looking forward to it

Well there was this:

Even Gail?s isn?t really a fair comparison. The majority of their products are made by a company called The Bread Factory in a massive facility in North London, and then shipped out to the stores each day. Again we would argue that a shop masquerading as a ?local bakery? that doesn?t really do much baking on site is more of a con than a ?6 sandwich.

Just been and had coffee and snack. Have to say, the coffee around here can be very hit and miss, but we found the coffee here lovely. Rich in flavour, good balance of bitterness, not too hot and not too cold. Had goats cheese, honey and almonds on toast which surprised me at how nice it was as it wasn't something I would normally go for. We bought a loaf of their multigrain bread which is huge! The building itself is bright and airy and the tables aren't crammed in which I like. It's still early days but we very much enjoyed it.

I asked for toast at lunchtime at Toasted a while back... but they said NO it's not on the menu. It's a shame when it's the name of the cafe!


Further disappointment came when the table next to me got a nice big plate of toast... they had ordered the soup and it came with it. Shame they couldn't be more flexible...

We went to Brick House for lunch today, famished after doing the last clear out of our flat. The sandwiches were worth every penny. My ham hock and tomato sandwich was a beast, tasty and very filling. My partner had a three cheese toastie which was apparently very good.


We also had cake afterwards. The chocolate and buttermilk tea bread was wonderful, one of the best chocolate cakes I have tasted. We left very happy and clutching a loaf of Peckham Rye sourdough for the weekend breakfasts.

Tried all the cookies today (brief review and photos on my blog). Also bought the chocolate loaf. It looked burnt but I thought that was just a thing. Unfortunately it tasted burnt too. However, it was nice once we cut off the crusts.

It is a BEAUTIFUL space - soaring ceilings and beautiful lighting. Ate there this weekend. Amazing. HUGE vegetarian sandwich, perfect coffee, and, perfect service. I've always been a fan of their bread as it is tricky to find an honest sourdough in London and I am delighted they have opened up a place. HURRAH.

Popped in for breakfast today.


Had 2 x boiled eggs and toast, black Americano. GF had toast and Jam and Fresh Mint Tea.


Toast was perfect, possibly best I've had. I know it's just toast but the bread makes a whole lot of difference as does the good butter they serve it with. The coffee was the best I've had round here and I'm a bit of a coffee snob. It's amazing how many so called coffee shops don't know how to make a decent coffee.


Only gripe was the boiled eggs. First one was bang on, but they hadn't been plunged in cold water when ready so the second one continued to cook in it's shell. By the time I ate it it was hard boiled. But they replaced it with no fuss and were very apologetic. Now I know this all sounds horrendously fussy but if you're paying ?4 for a couple of eggs and toast they've got to get it spot on- especially for something so basic.


If I had to moan about anything else I'd say they could possibly stick a couple more breakfast options on the menu.


Lovely space though, great bread/toast and terrific coffee. Will deffo go back.

    • Where did I say he did a good job? Yup and Corbyn was very close to Len McCluskey and funded by Unite wasn't he...they're all as bad as each other... Labour have to purge their party of the far-left - they're a disaster. Allan Johnson summed it up so well on election night in 2019....  
    • Thank you for the detailed advise @trinidad It is definitely damage we are concerned about. I don’t think Evri would agree to pay the bill to fix our gate or letter box if they were to be damaged as a result of their delivery drivers helper. Our doorbell can be heard from outside when rung so we don’t quite believe the aggressive simultaneous door/letter box banging is necessary. It can be quite a shock it is done very aggressively.  I’ll definitely action the steps you’ve kindly provided along with a phone call tomorrow. I do sympathise with the role drivers have and how busy they are, which is why we tried communicating directly with her but sadly we haven’t succeeded 
    • What outcome would you like? Disciplinary action? Not to have the driver back? Retraining? I know there is alot of pressure on drivers to deliver within a set day. if he slams the gate, is it evidence he is causing damage, or is the noise a irritant to yourself? You could put a sign up or buy a signing asking to close the gate gentle???? can you hear the door bell from the door? he might be ringing, not hearing and therefore knocking. In trhe notes section of the be livery page, there is a note section, although there is not 100 per cent these notes would be read as these drivers are constantly rushing.  I did a google search for you, i found this and you can try the envri website Contact Us | Evri   To complain to Evri, you can follow these steps: Contact Customer Service: Call Evri's customer service at 0330 808 5456 for assistance with your complaint.    1 Write a Letter: Address your complaint to Capitol House, 1 Capitol Close, Morley, Leeds, West Yorkshire, LS27 0WH.    1 Use the Official Website: Visit the Evri complaints page on their official website for detailed instructions on how to submit a complaint.    2 Email or Call for Specific Issues: For issues like missing or damaged parcels, you can email or call 0800 988 8888, which is free to call.    1 These methods will help you effectively communicate your concerns to Evri.   My driver is called anthony, he is brilliant to be honest. I cant fault him.
    • When I have more time and energy, I will look up the actual number of votes cast for each party in that election, rather than the number of seats won. I'm interested to see that you apparently  think that  Boris Johnson did a good job of "leading the country through Covid." Is your memory really that short? I won't stoop to calling Johnson and his cronies names in the way that you seem to think is appropriate for left wing politicians. At least the left wing politicians have some semblance of morals and a concern for people who aren't in some over privileged inner circle and/or raking in money for themselves on the back of an epidemic. I'm not going to open a can of worms on here  by commenting on the disgraceful so called "purge".
