Brigit’s Bakery, or B Bakery, is a heavenly place to escape the bustle of Covent Garden and The Strand. Essentially a French salon de thé, it is as pretty as a picture, very comfortable, and oh so chic. If you are seated on the ground floor, you can watch the world go by, but for some privacy, there is seating downstairs, and private rooms are also available for parties. You do need to order the set tea in advance, but can drop in anytime for a pot of tea and a scone or a cake. Tea is served on an eclectic mix of mismatched bone china cup, saucers, and plates. The tiered cake stands come laden with delicious savouries and sandwiches, all with a French twist, and the dainty cakes and pastries are a delight. Super scones with jam and cream complete the treat, and you definitely won’t leave hungry.
