Nordic Bakery in London has this rustic, no-frills ambience that I love for spending a peaceful afternoon. You'll see Japanese women chatting away softly and bohemians on their laptops. Their pastry case is nothing like your usual pain au chocolat or biscotti - think lox sandwiches, rye bread and curious savory pies. Would love to try their cinnamon buns and other Scandinavian goodies when I return.
I tried their rustic oatmeal cookie that was sticky and crunchy with nuts and raisins. Accompanied with a short latte. Also love the mellow blue tray they served it on.
Went back recently in March and had a good mocha. Also featuring Lola's cupcakes (red velvet, peanut butter, oreo and vanilla) which we sneaked in from Selfridges :P
