"I start here for my favorite pistachio pain au chocolat for breakfast, a ginger cake to take along, and olive and cheese breadsticks for snacking on the go." - Stacey Ballis
"Hey, remember croissants? They’re these things you ate before you started inhaling leftover fridge-temperature carbonara for breakfast. Go back to the golden era of pain au chocolat with a big order from Bread Ahead. You can find their jam doughnuts, chocolate brownies, banana cake, and even a baker’s kit at their online shop, as well as virtual cooking courses. They’re delivering to a range of postcodes across London that you can check out here." - heidi lauth beasley
"A market isn’t a real market without doughnuts, and the ones at Bread Ahead are properly good. If you bring a box into work, you’ll pretty much be guaranteed a raise. Your boss said so. The sea salted caramel is a showstopper with a slab of honeycomb balanced on top, and the rustic baguette makes for a tasty snack to nibble on as you wander about. " - Heidi Lauth Beasley, Jake Oliver, Daisy Meager, Sinead Cranna
"Order this: This caramel and honeycomb number. We were in love once. The world was bright, the sun was shining, our hearts were full of possibility. Yes, we were in love—for exactly five minutes and 20 seconds, which was the time it took to eat Bread Ahead’s caramel and honeycomb doughnut. An achingly sweet creation that looks like it was designed by Zaha Hadid in the middle of a sugar high, it has the power to mentally transport you to a world where you just roll around in icing sugar all day. This Borough Market bakery also has flavours like lemon meringue, hazelnut praline, and the ultimate dessert collaboration we’ve all been waiting for, a carrot cake doughnut." - Heidi Lauth Beasley, Rianne Shlebak
"So, how’s listening to The Smiths whilst crying into a bathtub of your own hot tears working out for you? It sounds like you’ve completed stage one of the break-up. Now it’s time for stage two. No, not socialising or embracing your anger. That comes later. Now is what we like to define as ‘the doughnut stage’. Bread Ahead in Borough Market do the kind of doughnuts that are filled with everything from salted caramel and honeycomb, to pistachio cream. They’ll give you more feelings than Morrissey, but good ones this time. We promise." - heidi lauth beasley, jake missing
