British Pride Bakery Cambridge

This pub is nothing short of enchanting! With its delightful classic British charm, it's the perfect spot to unwind. My husband and I absolutely love it here—it's always our go-to place to enjoy our favorite pin!

Positives: I enjoyed their plain and blueberry scones. They were moist, and they don't try to add any other flavours to them, which I liked. The girl working there was masked with a cloth mask; I was glad that it wasn't just a face shield. The hand pies' pastry is flaky and nice. They seemed to be following all of the Covid-19 protocols like limiting customers in the store, encouraging distancing, and providing sanitizer, and plastic shields at the food counters and even near the entrance - great work! Negatives: I didn't see any Devon cream to go with their scones. Also, their buns were the worst I have ever purchased. They were dry, tasteless, and burnt tasting (I didn't want to make another stop somewhere else just for buns, which is why I purchased them). Zehrs' buns would have been better. 😮 We threw out the leftover buns. Also, their cheese and onion pie filling for their hand pies tasted like cheap, frozen, cheese pierogi filling from Zehrs, and it was mostly tasteless. The filling tasted processed. I was hoping to find somewhat of a substitute for the amazing cheese, potato, and onion hand pies (at the Handpie Company) that I had in PEI; I certainly didn't.

Really excellent sausage roll and cornish pasty, and a great selection of British sweets and groceries. I had every intention of trying to do one lap of the store before deciding what to buy but I found so many "must buys" for me on the first time through. I'm still on the quest for the best eccles cake in the area, though, as the pastry was a bit dense for my liking for an eccles cake
