BIRDS THE CONFECTIONERS

Birds The Confectioners is a sweet spot that’s got its hygiene game on lock and a Google rating that’s as high as your sugar rush. The cakes are practically begging to be inhaled, and the egg mayo on seeded bread? Gourmet heaven, according to Lou Lowe, who’s clearly got taste. The staff are friendly, even when you’re indulging like it’s your last meal on Earth.

But let’s not get too carried away; you might encounter the occasional dry bacon cob or awkward service when the kitchen gets busy. Still, you’ll leave feeling like you treated yourself, not just your taste buds. It’s a solid choice if you need a sugar fix and want to feel fancy without breaking the bank. Just don’t get your hopes up too high, or you might be disappointed when the caramel doughnuts aren’t on the shelf.
