Sainsbury's

You might not expect much from a supermarket bakery, but the team behind the counters on Talbot Road consistently prove that assumption wrong. Their morning croissants arrive properly flaky, the doughnuts don't taste like they've been sitting under heat lamps for days, and the custom celebration cakes actually look like the photos you show them. What sets this place apart from your average Greggs or similar is the genuine effort that goes into the baking. The bread rolls are crusty where they should be, soft where they shouldn't, and the seasonal pastries rotate regularly enough to keep things interesting. It's proper convenient too – you can grab your weekly shop and decent coffee simultaneously without feeling like you've compromised on either.
