Bakeries & cafés in London

Apart from a few addresses such as Greek Street in Soho and Long Lane by the Barbican, the London list is spread along neighbourhood high streets, from Ruislip and Southall in the west to Leyton and Ilford in the east and Brixton and Brockley in the south. What sets it apart is how many bakeries serve a particular community. Lisboa Patisserie on Golborne Road is a Portuguese café built around pastéis de nata, Angel’s Bakery on Seven Sisters Road is a Brazilian padaria with coxinha and cheese bread, and the Colombian Bakery on Brixton Road sells empanadas and pan de bono until 9 PM or later. In Park Royal, Kamil Bakery bakes Lebanese manakeesh and fatayer; Watan Bakery on Southall's High Street sells Afghan bolani and mantu; Tavazo on Ballards Lane is a Persian patisserie open until 11 PM; and Patisserie Romana in Burnt Oak sells Romanian cakes from 6 AM except on Sundays. Green Lanes adds Turkish and Cypriot bakeries in Harringay and Palmers Green.
