Peyton and Byrne Bakeries

You'll find yourself on Greenwich Church Street, where the smell of butter and fresh bread pulls you through the door before you've even decided whether you want coffee. Peyton and Byrne does that thing really well: simple, unpretentious, genuinely good. The cases are packed with croissants, sourdough, seasonal tarts, and the kind of sausage rolls that make you question why you ever settled for anything else. It's the sort of place where locals queue properly and actually know what they want, not where you're faffing about for ten minutes wondering if a pain au chocolat will ruin your morning. The café itself is straightforward—nice enough, no twee nonsense—and the coffee is respectable without being annoyingly fashionable about it.
