August Bakery

Since it opened on Christmas Eve, I’ve enjoyed running 10km to get my pastry on at August bakery. The team are incredibly friendly, there’s great coffee, banging salted hot chocolate, and the pastries are creative, incredible and put August up there as one of the best bakeries in the UK. What makes it also so special, is that throughout the day different creations come out of the kitchen. From sausage rolls that will make you salivate, to Chelsea buns, almond & plum danish, blueberry cheesecake tarts with buttery light pastry… the list goes on. It’s evidently grown in popularity with queues of joggers out the door and walking down the street with signature green coffee cups as the accessory it’s become. Make the trip, buy one of everything and find pastry heaven. Thanks August, you know I’m a big, big bakery fan of yours!

August is just brilliant. The staff are always so friendly, approachable, and genuinely hard-working - they create such a welcoming vibe every time I visit. The coffee is consistently delicious, and the pastries are always interesting and so tasty. If you try one thing, make it the white chocolate, cranberry and hazelnut cookie, honestly one of the best cookies I’ve ever had. I love the setting whether I’m sat inside or out. The building itself is really cool, but what I love most is the sense of community, it feels like a proper local spot where people know each other. The music playlist works well in the background always adding to the relaxed, warm feel. I often come by on a Friday morning to start my weekend off, and it’s always such a good start to the day. They get everything right - great coffee, great people, and a place that just feels good to be in.

Top 3 bakery for me in London. Out of what I had, would in particular recommend the ricciarelli. The layering on the pastry I had was incredible too. The battersea bun was also great but you can get a good battersea bun in lots of places. I got there at 11.30am on a Saturday and had to queue for 25minutes. Definitely go earlier if you want a shorter queue and more of a selection as some items may start to run out

This place is absolutely GORGEOUS This coffee shop is a hidden spot in Clapham Junction. I stayed there for quite some time because it was so relaxing. The main room, the lighting, the plants … food and coffee were delicious too. The staff was amazing as well. It really felt like a living place. Welcoming and relaxing. I took so many pics. I have to come back and I definitely recommend ! See you soon I hope.

This review is long overdue, but August bakery is the best thing to happen in SW in recent memory. I usually intermittently fast, but August is my one exception. Inside dining is light filled, airy and open and quiet enough to have actual conversation or eat and enjoy in peace. I have tried most of their baked goods over the course of several visits alone as well as with family and friends. Although I've recently moved about an hour away I still visit periodically as it is worth the trip! Coffees are consistently great. Their pastries and cookies are excellent, but EXCEPTIONAL special mentions go to 1. Kouign-amman (which is not available every day, unfortunately) as it is one of the best I've ever had, offering the perfect balance of flaky crispy goodness and lightly sweetener lamination with a beautifully delicate yet moist and buttery inside. I will get this EVERY time I go if available 2. Ricciarelli - they offer different varieties which are all great. They've definitely nailed this down with rich flavours and the ideal chewiness in every heavenly bite. Again - will get any variety each visit. 3. Sausage roll - it's delicious and generous in size. Amazing puff pastry as you would expect, and quality sausage inside. Great if you're feeling extra hungry for something a little bit more substantial. 4. Spinach and mushroom with sesame savory pastry - rich and delicious and a great option if you don't want something sweet. I suggest you try everything and discover your own favourites

Lovely bakery. The coffee is really good quality, and the cakes are excellent. I had a flat white and the chocolate olive oil cake and they were both great. I didn’t have to wait long to order and the staff were friendly. Would thoroughly recommend.

Delightful friendly staff. Good relaxed vibes. Airy with very high ceilings. I appreciated that the music was just at the right volume for people to enjoy a conversation without having to raise their voice. Coffee and Bakery are great. Love the green cups and plates 💚

Beautiful! Absolutely beautiful The staff are delightful The pastries stunning The coffee gorgeous Potentially the best place around Relaxing environment, amazing staff, the coffee is perfect. This place is a booming sunshine. I’ve tried most of their pastries usually for takeaway.. but first time having for sit in and it’s just perfect!
