"Breaking up with someone at Toklas Bakery tells them a few things. Firstly, they no longer qualify for the prime time weekend slot, which is why they’re being broken up with on a Tuesday at 3pm. Secondly, you look extremely sexy eating a tahini cookie. And thirdly, you’ve got excellent taste, so they’re definitely the problem. This bakery and cafe on the Strand lets you pay before you sit, has plenty of spacious seating, and is filled with the glorious smell of pastry and cinnamon that does a good job of softening the blow.
