Well said Goosey Goosey. General Store serve croissants direct from the bike of the little bread pedlar. Arguably London's best croissant. Superb lamination. Genevieve also makes one of the best flat whites in all of the South East.

I've tried General Store before. They were good.


However, they leave them next to the door to go cold and hard. This croissant positioning disturbs me!


Am currently trying a croissant in Blackbird Cafe. It's good but it's no Boulangerie Jade....


I will try La Scala next!


The great croissant debate of the middle classes rages on.

Had a croissant today from Patisserie Valerie when out and about.


Not as good as Boulangerie Jade.


I haven't tried the Anderson's ones as they always look a bit small and squashed and sorry for themselves.


Hoxton Hotel do a great croissant, but it's a bit far to travel every morning.

"Seriously now, the best croissants are definitely from Boulangerie Jade but the best almond croissants are from Blackbird Bakery.."


Agree, theirs are great but I just cant stand their coffee, it is always cold. And I also miss homemade (am abit sad like that).

This thread is the BEST. Finally, I've found a community I can call home.


I've conducted tests on all the mainstream supermarket brands - Lidl is certainly a strong contender with a great aroma, hearty size and good rip-ability. Points off for flakiness though. Tesco is your best option if you enjoy a crunchier crossaint. It is Sainsbury's however, that wins it for me. Consistent crossaint goodness in every bite.


I look forward to branching out and testing all the named local establishments above.

    • He seemed to me to be fully immersed in the Jeremy Corbyn ethos of the Labour Party. I dint think that (and self describing as a Marxist) would have helped much when Labour was changed under Starmer. There was a purge of people as far left as him that he was lucky to survive once in my opinion.   Stuff like this heavy endorsement of Momentum and Corbyn. It doesn't wash with a party that is in actual government.   https://labourlist.org/2020/04/forward-momentum-weve-launched-to-change-it-from-the-bottom-up/
    • I perceive the problem.simply as spending too much without first shoring up the economy.  If the government had reduced borrowing,  and as much as most hate the idea, reduced government deiartment spending (so called austerity) and not bowed to union pressures for pay rises, then encouraged businesses to grow, extra cash would have entered the coffers and at a later stage when the economy was in a stronger position rises in NI or taxes would have a lesser impact, but instead Reeves turned that on its head by increasing ni which has killed growth, increased prices and shimmied the economy.  What's worse is that the perceived 20 billion black hole has increased to 30 billion in a year. Is there a risk that after 5 years it could be as high as 70 billion ???     
    • That petition is bananas.   If you want a youth centre there pay the landlord the same rent a Londis would and build it yourself or shut the f**k up to be honest. Wasting our MPs time with this trivial nonsense is appalling. If your kids are still out at 1am on a school night you've got bigger problems than vapes and booze and hot sausage rolls. 
    • There used to be a better baker than Gail's on the same site immediately before Gail's pulled their financial muscle.
