Bake Shop
Cambridgeshire, Ely - Bakery and Deli
Just a few minutes’ walk from the Cathedral, this upscale emporium is from the talented bakers behind Grain Culture (you might spot their bread on local restaurant menus). This is the place to find their crusty-chewy sourdough, bouncy white batch loaves, soft milk buns and Danish rugbrød (seeded rye bread). The pastries tempt too, from knotted Swedish kanelbullar (warmly spiced with cinnamon and cardamom) or custard tarts rippled through with berries to Eccles cakes and custard-filled Italian bomboloni (doughnuts). Have them boxed up to take home or (on a sunny day) nibble them with a locally roasted Brew Project coffee on the pavement bench out front – or in the attractive courtyard at the back.
