BakeAlicious — Restaurant in Bristol

I couldn't wait to try the new bakery in Clifton Village but in the end it is a disappointment.

I took crossaint (bacon and 4 cheese), mushroom pie, latte, baklava and kataifi.

Crossaint was fully wet from the bacon and cheese fat. I don't know what does it mean "4 cheese" but my guess it means "4 slides of cheese" because there is just a single type and it has tons of it. Too much. Bacon was baked, still had full fat on it - I was expected to have it more crispy. Very fatty and very mushy dough. 1/5

Mushroom pie was totally opposite. Sheets were fully dry and half baked. The mushroom filling contained mushroom but it was more as a paprika filling. 2/5

Coffee was just bad. Burnt coffee beans, milk too hot, OK froth. 2/5

Baklava had almost no layers and was full of nuts. I feel like it was way too much syrup in it. 2.5/5

Kataifi had the same problem: syrup was everywhere and the layer around it was full of syrup, so it wasn't crispy at all. It overwhelmed the whole flavour of kataifi. 2/5

For all of this I paid £17.2. I ate it with my partner and she had exactly same comments about the food as me and we were both super dissapointed. I have no idea how this place got right now 4.7 on Google Maps because it's below average bakery and the only positive thing is the vibe inside the shop.

EDIT: I checked once again on 18th May 2024 and food still look really soggy. Didn't even try to get anything. At 1 pm shop had only one couple sitting in the corner.

EDIT: response to the owner: "1st of all the bacon has not fat but is the cheese that makes jt look that way " Crossaint is fully wet because of the fat. That's the fact. Crossain losts fully the texture and this will be a disaster for a typical bakery. You fully skipped the part about mushroom pie and half baked sheets. "2nd our coffee is high quality and we never had such a complaint from our customers i think is just your opinion " If you never heard about this complain then I will suggest to look at the Google Maps review below. 30 seconds and you could find a different 3/5 review with same opinion as mine. "3rd Saying that the baklava and kataifi has too many nuts in it well thats the most expensive ingredient so i dont understand why someone would say such a thing" you can also make a latte which has 10 doses of espresso and try to defend it but at the end you will be left with awful balance latte. This is what I meant by writing baklava was full of nuts. It doesn't matter nuts are the most expensive ingredient - you created unbalanced dessert. I absolutely love baklava and whenever it's possible I'm always pick up some to try but this time it was just very unbalanced baklava.

I had 2 pastry, 2 classical Greek desserts. You are a bakery. I think it was enough to create an opinion. I don't understand why I need to try all different food from your bakery to have a proper opinion.

Stop gaslighting customers who are not giving you positive reviews on...

A pistachio croissant costs £5.80@ of course you would have high expectation. However, the puff pastry is soggy, the pistachio filling ( very thin layer) texture likes peanut butter and with slightly salt to taste. Overall it’s disappointed. The Mile feuille also costs £5.80, tastes better then pistachio croissant (at least normal cream taste)but the puff pastry is soggy, too. It is totally not the French dessert ( again, prove the influencer on IG is not reliable) I would not return because the pastry, cake or bread I could find nice one in cheaper price in...

This may be one of the best little coffee shops in Clifton Village. Stumbled on it by accident and went in and the staff were so nice and told us their story of how everything is hand baked, the pastries (balaclava and cheescake) tasted so delicious and fresh.

Because they are new, when we're chatting to them they were shocked at the level of footfall as they have only been open a week.

Everything is fresh and amazing, service was top notch. As locals, this will definitely be our regular stop and we will definitely...
