Fabrique Bakery

Wow, fantastic and fika! A very high quality Swedish bakery, here locally in London. The cardamom bun was fresh and to die for. I also got a small rye bun and having a sandwich on it right now for dinner as I type this; very good bread and it really enhanced the whole item. Plus very friendly service - will return (on the regular!)

The bakery is nicely located in front of the Home Museum, offering both outdoor and indoor sitting areas as well as proper cups and plates (the Planet is certainly very thankful!). The cinnamon bun moments before 2 p.m. was still very nice (sometimes later in the day they already, sadly, could turn dry), just the sugar pieces on top seem absolutely unnecessary. Coffee is well-made, cappuccino is coming very pleasantly foamy. Though the beans used seem way too bitter to my tastebuds. Hot chocolate does not live up to expectations at all, although, for some reason, overall it’s rare to find a good hot chocolate in London these days. The young ladies working here are very nice. I would not go out of my way to visit the bakery again, but would drop by other branches if I am passing by.

This is a friendly little place, more bakery than café, but they have four small table for customers who want to eat in. The trappings of bakery is everywhere, with sacks of flour, racks of trays and ovens. Since the café at the nearby Museum of the Home is closed, this Scandinavian bakery/café is a good alternative.
