Lovely bakery and cafe. Food was so good we came back a second time! Particularly the grilled cheese sandwich was awesome.
The area in which it’s located is a bit strange though, but unfortunately there is not much that the Nelson team can do about it.

Once inside, you’ll be greeted by the lovely smell of fresh bread!

Anyone who knows anything about quality bread knows that this bakery makes the best sourdough loaves in the city. It's not even a close thing. My quality of life would be degraded significantly without my weeklu olive and rosemary loaf from this bakery. I don't know about their coffee or pastries - I've never tried them - but the bread is of an international standard.

Just in case, the handsome one who asked me out for coffee reads this:

You asked me out for coffee one week ago & in a moment of absent-mindedness I just mentioned that I'm leaving tomorrow. I probably won’t be back anytime soon-
but maybe you'll find yourself in Europe one day…or I’ll find my way back.
Would be happy to hear from you!
