LAZY CLAIRE PATISSERIE REVIEWS

I love coming to Lazy Claire. No matter which pastry I choose, they are all fabulous and keep me coming back. The little chouquettes are a burst of beautiful vanilla custard and I have one alongside my pastry of choice every time! A special mention to their gorgeous strawberry gateaux which I ordered for a birthday and went down an absolute treat. The staff are also lovely, very friendly.

Beautiful and warm, friendly staff and delicious France pastry!! Dog friendly, nice coffee!! Open wed-sun We'll be back for sure!!

OMG It’s been long after moving from France I had such a croissant after long. Cerea in France have similar taste. So much respect to chef.

BREAD AND BANJO BAKERY REVIEWS

Flamingo cake for my sons 3rd birthday was absolutely perfect. Every detail was amazing, tasted delicious and everyone LOVED IT! My son adores flamingos and had been talking about his dream cake for about 6 months, with quite specific detail lol, the bakers got it spot on and it really made his day! Thank you so so much!!!!!

We walked past here by accident, and saw a hefty queue. As we were curious, we waited in line, and weren't dissapointed. Very happy to see multiple vegan options - our favourites were the Nordic Bap and vegan Apricot filled pastry. Pricing also great, just need to wait in line ;)

Lovely local bakery. Their Guinness bread is grand and my whole family’s favorite. Cinnamon roll is the best I’ve ever tried. Staff are friendly and helpful. Can’t wait to try more of their pastries.
