Palestinian bakery with sourdough buns, za'atar, knafeh, musakhan
"Within five minutes of leaving Brockwell Lido, you can be in one of London’s hottest queues eagerly waiting for a musakhan-inspired bun. If you're not going for an early dip, drop by this Palestinian bakery before your swim—it gets busy and they sell out. Load up on the Knafeh bun if it's on, laced with creamy filling and topped with crumbled kataifi pastry." - heidi lauth beasley, jake missing, sinead cranna
"At Bunhead Bakery, go early and get everything. Inside the small, Palestinian-inspired bakery near Herne Hill station, the smell of za’atar wafts from the open kitchen, over the counter lined with soft, light buns. The sweet highlight is the Knafeh, laced with creamy, cheesy filling and topped with crispy crumbled kataifi pastry. The savoury buns and breads are also standout, particularly the Musakhan with sumac, pine nuts, and red onion." - rianne shlebak, sinead cranna, daisy meager, heidi lauth beasley
"The Picnic Pick: The musakhan bun. And the cinnamon bun. And the focaccia. You’re about to do a lot of sitting—ideally overlooking London on a nice blanket while flirting with the nearest dog—so it’s OK that you’ll need to queue for a hot minute to get your hands on anything from this Palestinian bakery in Herne Hill. Patience is key but debating your order isn’t. With creamy, cheesy cinnamon and knafeh buns, plus standout savoury breads, your picnic is in safe hands whatever you order." - heidi lauth beasley, sinead cranna
"Finding a bakery with plant-based options that don’t make us weep into a cardboard croissant is hard. Enter Bunhead Bakery, a takeaway Palestinian-inspired bakery in Herne Hill. Most of their incredibly moist (yes, moist) buns are vegan, including our favourites, the well-spiced OG cinnamon bun and the Musakhan with sumac, red onion, and pine nuts." - jake missing, rianne shlebak, daisy meager, sinead cranna
"If you don’t usually like mince pies, Bunhead Bakery’s mince pie buns could be what converts you. Mainly because they look like cinnamon buns and are topped with Baileys labneh frosting. There’s also an alcohol-free vanilla ashta cream version from the Herne Hill spot, too." - sinead cranna
