Bread Ahead Bakery Pavilion Road

Good sourdough pizza. Good coffe. Good staff.

Cake was fine but was expecting more. Handed a cake with no cutlery to eat it with. Just not quite to the standard I was hoping.

Tucked away on this small mews is this very popular bakery, seating indoors and out so you can people watch. Great selection of breads, salads and the doughnuts are a foodaholics dream, also had the best expresso in years, strong with liquorice after taste delish. Staff are also very freindly and helpful. Pizza slices are excellent and excellent value slot with our coffee favourites coconut doughnuts snd carrot

Great option to sit outside and have a slice of Pizza. The street it‘s on is very cute and relatively quiet.

A pizza place where all the staff at the counter refused to give you extra olive oil for your pizza as “they don’t use it”…maybe paying 8£ for a slice of their pizza is not enough to get extra topping or bare minimum customer service.

Don’t know about the food but unless you like your coffee as hot and burnt as molten metal I’d avoid the coffee

Nice selection of small sandwiches and patisserie. Rather poor that they charge for a glass of tap water.

I have been a regular customer for a long time and go in frequently to the branch in Pavillion Road. The stuff were usually friendly and very quick. Today the stuff were absolutely rude and an incident happened leading me to write a review. I believe if you’re providing a service you also should be open to criticism thats made respectfully and politely and handle this with equal value of one that’s a positive comment as both add value to one’s business. Everything was ok with my order but the latte I ordered was full of milk which I couldn’t taste the coffee at al,l it was basically frothed milk and yes I know late is two shots and this isn’t the first time I’m drinking it from bread ahead I have ordered this every time. The machines you use do not measure the coffee themselves and the baristas have to measure the shots manually so therefore it’s obvious and ok if an error happens given it’s also very busy at weekends especially. I went to the counter and my exact approach was “excuse me I am very sorry i know it’s busy however my late is full with milk, there’s hardly any coffee in there, I’m happy to pay but pls can we add a shot” your member of staff took the coffee to the lady making it and infront of all other staff and customers with a loud tone I was told this isn’t true and that she put two shots in. Then with very aggressive body language she threw the coffee cup in the bin and started muttering. At this point obviously I am disappointed and angry as a customer and couldn’t believe the level of disrespect. My response was “don’t worry about troubling yourself with making another one, it’s ok and I will go elsewhere and buy one that someone is able to make.” I have approached your member of staff with respect and my first words were I am really sorry. If I were rude instantly and disrespectful that’s another issue. Following this one of your members of staff without even keeping a safe distant physically shoved my out verbally and closed the door on my face! I have never ever come across such disrespectful and agressive attitudes in any business before. Your members of staff are clearly not well equipped for customer service and lack training and politeness as to how customers should be treated and cannot handle criticism!

Tasty small sandwiches. Pastrami/pickle sandwich is beef. Not served hot though. There are some queues in weekends due to crowd in the Pavillion.
