Pophams Bakery

Pastry with How I wish there were many more pophams bakeries around London. Yes the pastries are quite pricey but each bite is definitely worth every pence. There are a few bakeries that make bread as good as Pophams, so that definitely says a lot. For those that are yet to explore the pophams experience, your certainly in for a treat!

Pophama is a lovely place for a top brunch, during weekends you need to be prepared to queue for a while. Pastries are the best, toasties are really nice too, strawberry salad top notch and the coffee is amazing. The space is big and really nice decorated but can be very busy on weekends. Staff are friendly and service is quick and relatively quick considering the amount of people on weekends.

Pophams is a gorgeous little cafe and bakery on a quiet street. A stylish combination of industrial and scandi design inside, the atmosphere is welcoming, if a little loud due to poor acoustics. However much of the noise can be attributed to the place’s popularity. This is almost certainly a result of the quality of baked goods and food available. I had baba ganoush on sourdough and it was absolutely gorgeous - the bread was every bit as good as it ought to be! My friend had a fig pastry which she said was perfect and very instagrammable if you like a nice, tasteful food pic. Given the area of London Pophams is in, and it’s popularity, it would be great if they added one or two further plant based options, as these could be enjoyed by everyone and make the bakery worth a revisit for those who don’t eat animal products. Coffee pretty nice also.

Wide variety of pastries, tried different ones in this location and others and like every so one of them. The chocolate king is super delicious, croissant and au pain chocolate is really good and the marmites and spring onions is delicious too. The coffee her is really good as well. Customer service in this branch is good and the place is big and spacious.

- cardamom bun £4.90 - apricot and vanilla bean danish £6.50 even though there was a queue, it was fast-moving so it didn’t take us long to be seated - they also have seats outside which would be lovely on a warm sunny day. their small, but mighty, cardamom bun boasted a golden brown colour with many many layers of lamination. it was subtly sweet and as someone who isn’t crazy about spices in baked goods, the cardamom and cinnamon were not overpowering at all! the weekend special danish was filled with polenta cake, crème pâtissière and an apricot; similarly, it was not too sweet, even with all those components. they were even served on warmed plates, which really elevated the experience! these are on the pricier side for mere pastries, particularly bc they are quite small too, but they are made with lots of care and using high quality ingredients.
