What our customers say about Brigit's Bakery

Here's what some of our lovely customers say about the bakery:

"Bottomless Champagne/Gin Afternoon Tea Delight. First rate afternoon tea and simply brilliant service [...]. We had a private room downstairs and loved every minute of this relaxed atmosphere. The cakes were fabulous and ever so indulgent. The pastries warm and delicious! Highly recommend this venue which is just off Covent Garden."

"Great venue for light snacks and patisserie. We stopped off for a pre theatre brunch and were very pleased with our choice. Freshly squeezed orange juice and mascarpone cheese on sourdough with figs, honey and pistachio - delicious. Also very conveniently situated for Covent Garden and The Strand."

"Vegan delight. The vegan afternoon tea at Briget's Bakery was superb. The selection of savoury options was delicious! There were sandwiches, a roll, quiche and a wrap. The sweet section comprised of macaroon, cake, and panna cotta. There is a varied selection of teas, and of course soya milk. I cannot praise this lovely tea room enough. The staff are attentive without being overwhelming, and the whole aesthetics of the place was so pretty. If you want to enjoy a quality afternoon tea in a delightful tearoom, go to Brigit's Bakery in Covent Garden."

And there's a lot more where those came from!
