It was refreshing to find a Real Bakery the type I knew from my youth, right in the heart of Temple Fortune, my eyes were out on stalks as I entered, a myriad of freshly baked bread and cakes, more than I had ever seen in one place and all freshly baked, it was one of my forays out to the suburbs with my friend who had once worked in this amazing bakery, we were warmly greeted by the owner who clearly missed my friend who had worked for him for some years and he recognised me from years ago when he was one of my customers when I was a sought after expert in my field, this is an exceptional bakery, it main clientele is the local Jewish community who obviously know a real find when they see it, food is the language that all people speak and this Shop speaks to anyone who appreciates freshly baked bagels, bread and cakes ( their pastries are to die for and they have the best strudels I have ever seen ), I was lucky to try their rye bread, a bloomer interlaced with caraway seeds, great with smoked salmon, a gorgeous buttery cholla and a box of assorted mini pastries, rich, sticky and a real indulgence for someone who rarely has the opportunity to eat well made freshly baked pastries, I will beat a path to their door on my next visit to the suburbs to savour more delights trying to avoid the days when the queues stretch out the shop and...

Thrice shame on Daniels.
Their halla is full of sugar. I personally don't say hamotzi on this type of bread. They should have warning signs about this.
Instead, they have a ridiculous sign about not eating the meat products that they sell on the premises. There is NO halachic justification for this asinine behavior.
All taken into account, I question this business' comprehension of halacha and its ability to serve the kosher customer.
Go to Tesco and pick up a loaf of Hovis, stamped Kosher, delicious and...

Instead of giving me what I want she started to argue with me saying that all are the same , I told her about my experience from my last visit and I told her please just give me what I want she kept talking again all the same , I told her don’t argue with me finish and let me go she replies I want to argue until the owner comes out and told her give him what he wants she started to tell him the story instead of serving me as he instructed her to do so ....
