Michelin-star doughnuts, Eccles cakes, sourdough, and wine
"Order this: The strawberry jam classic. St. John’s doughnuts are the Chanel suit of the London doughnut world. Both are intrinsically classy and will never go out of style. When it comes to fillings, this Covent Garden bakery—tied to the legendary British restaurant of the same name—has got you covered with chocolate, vanilla custard, and our, personal favourite, strawberry jam. Because we all know that you can’t beat a classic. You can also find the top-tier doughnuts on the counter at their Spitalfields restaurant, and at their bakeries in Borough and on Druid Street." - Heidi Lauth Beasley, Rianne Shlebak
"St. John’s Neal’s Yard bakery isn’t a wine and dine affair—there are a couple of benches outside for you to sit down and have a tender moment with your raspberry doughnut or egg sandwich—but that doesn’t make it any less useful in an area severely lacking in top-tier grab and go options. The treats are more sweet than savoury and it’s perfect for a doughy midafternoon pick-me-up." - team infatuation

"As part of a gradual expansion of the group’s bakery division, a small bakery site was established in Seven Dials, Covent Garden to broaden its retail and baking presence in central London." - Adam Coghlan
"A permanent, stand-alone bakery from the group known for nose-to-tail cooking, focused on celebrated pastries and breads including doughnuts, Eccles cakes, and madeleines. With Neal’s Yard dairy nearby, the site will make classic pairings such as Eccles cake with Lancashire cheese easy to execute, reinforcing the group’s reputation for straightforward, ingredient-driven baking." - Adam Coghlan
