Open Tuesday to Saturday, from 8
It’s still warm.
Bread, buns and a proper cup of tea on the main street. Get in before the brown bread’s gone, because it will be.

Bríd’s been at this since 1994

Birthdays, christenings, communions, a good excuse
Build your cake. See the price before you ring anyone.
Go on, tap the cake and blow them out.
Grand, that’s in the book
Thanks, there.
This is a demo, so no order was sent and no cake is coming. Sorry about that.
Something more complicated? Ring Bríd on 020 916 2750 and she’ll talk it through.
Two of us, one oven, and a queue on Saturdays.
Bríd started baking for the shop her mother ran, and took it over in 1994. Her son Cathal came home from Galway to do the coffee and hasn’t been let leave since.
We’re called after the corncrake, the bird that kept half the callows awake on summer nights. It’s nearly gone from around here now, but the bread’s still loud enough for the two of us.
Bríd & Cathal (fictional, like the bread, unfortunately)
Stopped for a coffee on the way to Galway. Now I plan the whole journey around it.
Orla, passing through
Ordered Dad’s 70th cake on a Monday, collected on the Friday, and there wasn’t a crumb left.
Sinéad, from the town
The brown bread has ruined all other brown bread for me.
Mossie, every Saturday
