Raab’s The Bakers - Review - Islington - London - The Infatuation

"Raab’s is a historic Islington bakery which makes you wonder why we’re still trying to innovate when a slab of perfect, aggressively sprinkled birthday cake exists for under £2. There are sausage rolls—a little greasy, but always warm—to devour under bus shelters on rainy days. Iced buns to be taken home and savoured in slippers, with a tea that has seven sugars in it. And a list of bap fillings so long you’ll have to wave multiple customers ahead while you desperately scan it. Expect to be called “love” a lot and to get a warm fuzzy feeling while staring at rows of Tottenham cake, crème slices, and other nostalgic favourites that time, and that micro-bakery with miso cookies and merch, forgot." - Sinéad Cranna
