Ole & Steen

You'll find Ole & Steen tucked away in Crescent Arcade, that lovely Victorian covered market in Greenwich that locals actually use rather than just walk through. It's a proper Danish operation, which means they're not messing about with their bread—expect naturally leavened sourdoughs that have actual flavour, and pastries that are buttery without being greasy. The space has that Scandi simplicity to it: stripped-back, unfussy, exactly what a good bakery should be. You'll grab a coffee, maybe a cardamom bun or a sourdough sandwich, and suddenly thirty minutes have disappeared in the best way.
