Wenzel's the Bakers Hitchin

You know exactly what you're getting when you walk into this High Street bakery. The counter display cases are filled with the usual suspects - croissants, Danish pastries, and sandwich fillings that do the job without setting your world alight. It's the kind of place where you grab a decent flat white and a bacon roll before catching the train, or pop in for a quick lunch when you need something filling and familiar. The staff move efficiently through the morning rush, and while you won't find any artisanal sourdough or single-origin coffee experiments here, everything is fresh and reasonably priced. It's honest bakery fare that serves its purpose well - sometimes that's exactly what Hitchin's High Street needs.
