Pastries, bread, sandwiches, and coffee baked fresh
"As you approach Toad Bakery’s small shop front, catch a whiff of freshly baked bread and see the glistening pastries, a Pavlovian response will kick in. Your stomach will rumble, eyes widen, and you’ll start mentally calculating just how many slow-braised goat bear claw pastries you can eat in one sitting. Even if you don't manage to nab one of the colourful stools out front, your plan should still be to load up with gooey vegan cookies and pillowy loaves." - heidi lauth beasley, jake missing, daisy meager, sinead cranna
"As you approach Toad Bakery’s small shop front and catch a whiff of freshly baked bread, a Pavlovian response kicks in. It straddles Peckham and Camberwell, with a few colourful stools out front and a counter heaving with gooey, vegan cookies, buttery croissants, and cardamom-heavy cinnamon buns. Get one of the slow-braised goat bear claw pastries if they’re on. Cafe Mondo, next door, uses Toad’s bread to make their excellent sandwiches. So pick up one of those too." - rianne shlebak, sinead cranna, daisy meager, heidi lauth beasley
"On Saturday mornings, Toad Bakery, between Peckham and Camberwell, has a queue to rival Berghain, but here everyone is welcome and it’s worth the wait. Go for the impressive selection of changing, creative savoury pastries like everything bagel-inspired croissants, cooked up by the consistently passionate Oliver Costello and Rebecca Spaven, who are both two of London’s most exciting bakers." - rachel rumbol
"Santa might work hard, but Toad Bakery in Peckham works harder. In previous years, these guys had all your mince pie needs covered right up until 23rd December. We’re expecting booze, big prunes, and glacé cherries again." - sinead cranna
"As you approach Toad Bakery’s small shop front, catch a whiff of freshly baked bread and then see the glistening pastries, that Pavlovian response will kick in. Your stomach will rumble, eyes widen, and you’ll start mentally calculating just how many gooey vegan cookies and cardamom-heavy cinnamon buns you can eat in one sitting. The bakery (one of London’s best) straddles Peckham and Camberwell, and there are a few colourful stools out front but if you can’t get a seat, take your slow-braised goat bear claw pastries to nearby Lucas Gardens instead." - heidi lauth beasley, jake missing, rianne shlebak, sinead cranna, daisy meager, riaz phillips
