Tough Mary’s Bakehouse
Nottinghamshire, Nottingham - Bakery
The sight of bakers beavering away behind Tough Mary’s bright yellow shopfront will be familiar to Nottingham's night-owl students and clubbers – in fact the place is now something of a local landmark on Derby Road. Seeded sourdough loaves and beautifully textured pain au chocolat (almost as sublime as the version sold in House of Pain in Marseilles) are top calls, along with almond croissants, seasonal Danish pastries, blondies and more eclectic ideas including Basque cheesecake, babka and Swedish semla buns. There are also savouries galore (sandwiches, cheese and mustard scones, mini pizzas etc), and TM’s bagels are irresistible too – especially with a ‘drip’ coffee or herbal tea. Just be sure to get there early.
