Comptoir Bakery Maltby — Restaurant in London

I come to this contemporary, chic and expensive bakery every now and then to buy a slice of cake or a croissant and a coffee for a hefty price. The quality is undeniably good and I will keep coming. My criticsm has to be considered as constructive. This morning I came here with my girlfriend for breakfast to have a croissant and a cappuccino. Price for two croissants and two cappuccinos was 17 pounds. No table service, the girl at the till wasn't very polite and the worst of it all is that for the price you pay you don't even get a plate for your croissant and your coffee in a proper ceramic mug (like every other cafè/bar on this planet, outside of London). I am are really tired of making these companies rich, when the service is non-existent and also there is no environmental consciousness at all. Sustainability is crucial nowadays and how can it be possible that in a luxurious bakery, you have to drink your coffee in a paper cup, and your fruit juice is served in a plastic cup. Are you too lazy and cheap to hire a person to clean the tables and wash the cups? This complaint can easily be extended to 50% of new...

This is my favourite place to spend a Sunday morning for Croissants and coffee, even though we live about 18 miles away. We generally drive the 40 mins. every couple of months or even more regular in the summer months then head off to Columbia Road Flower market after. The coffee is excellent, Monmouth coffee (one of my favourites) and for those that like Oat Milk like me in their flat white they have Oatly Barista, there just is no other like it. I generally always have the Spinach and cheese croissant and my partner the ham and cheese croissant which they can heat up for you. We've tried many of the Danish pastries, the pear one is particularly good, but to honest they are all excellent. The people serving are always friendly and everything is made fresh by a real person (as per the picture). After, if you can squeeze in some more food, pay a visit to Maltby Street Market food stalls just outside the door. There are loads of different foods to choose from. As you meander down you’ll come across a few restaurants also (the pizza one always looks good) and another coffee shop down the...

Fantastic place! Bakery in the back and sitting space in front at Ropewalk (Maltby). They also do the pastries for the Southwark Cathedral Café - which is why we came here. In short: we're enthusiastic. Service was very friendly and helpful. Sandwiches were just great (superb croissants w/ ham&cheese, tuna sandwich in Italian Ciabatta, quiche) and then - house's famous almond croissant, chocolate Trossards (very good chocolate!) and our favourite, the pain á la canelle. A masterpiece, combination of croissants, rugalach and cinnamon, underlaid by caramelised cinnamon-sugar, almost toffee. An adventure if textures and just tremendously yummy. (Monmouth) coffee is, of course, great. Had a brilliant Cortado w/ the exact amount of foam. A must for...
