Fabrique Bakery Hoxton — Restaurant in London

What a shame. Decor is brilliant, and what a great idea to have a hipster cafe attached to a bakery- would have looked even better if the outside wasn’t scattered with empty coffee cups and plates that hadn’t been cleared dispite the 2 chatting employees inside. Decided to have a coffee and a sandwich and was sadly very disappointed. I asked for a latte, and although the barista told me it was a latte, it was far more similar to a cappuccino- by the time I’d eaten my sandwich the coffee has dissolved to a third of the way down. Chose the only sandwich of the 2 available that looked appetising. The bread was amazing, tasted so nice and fresh, but unfortunately no care had been taken to make it. All the salmon was on one side and the philly and lettuce on the other. So with one mouthful I got just spread and lettuce, the other was just over seasoned salmon. Would be so great if the baristas had some proper training. Unfortunately not worth the near £10 I spent on...

No matter how long the queues, the Saffron Croissants are worth the wait, and the Coffee/Hot Chocolates...damn they’re good!

I often pop by on Sat/Sun mornings for a quick drink and to feast on the tasty bakes. It can get very busy after 11am, and the best bites are usually gone by early afternoon.

It’s obviously a big attraction considering they bake on site, and emit some mouth watering smells in the morning!

Staff are always very friendly and service is surprisingly efficient considering only two staff are serving on the counter.

They have an amazing selection of breads including sourdough, Rye and more regular flavours, and their pastries and cakes are easily the local best.

Seating is quite limited, so if you wish to dine in, I suggest arriving before midday. Some of their biscuits and buns are a tad too sweet, hence one star down.

I could write more, but if you have...

Made our way there for a Sunday treat. We love good coffee and a good pastry. So as a bakery that provides some pastries to other coffee shops that are classified as speciality we thought it’s worth going straight to the supplier. I think coming straight to the bakery it should be cheaper ! £3 for a bun is too much, I’ve been in cafes with their own oven and had much greater buns - freshly baked , warm for about £1,5 ! Since they bake it there.. The plates are all so dirty, they probably don’t even wash them.. the coffee was not great and the cup itself was also dirty. The bun was tasty but overpriced, and probably wasn’t just baked, might have been baked in the morning, we came at 13:30. Oh and I went to the toilet and there was no toilet paper. Only one roll holding the window which I didn’t dare to use. The service was okay. Not sure I would...
