You're trudging through the Ridings Centre with your shopping bags when that familiar aroma hits – buttery pastry and savoury fillings wafting from the busiest bakery on Westgate. The queue moves surprisingly fast despite the constant stream of shoppers grabbing their usual: steak bakes still molten in the middle, sausage rolls with that satisfying snap of pastry, and bacon sandwiches that actually taste decent at £2.50. The staff here know their regulars by order rather than name, and they've got the morning rush down to a fine art. It's not trying to be anything other than reliable, affordable grub that sorts you out between H&M and Next. The coffee's better than you'd expect, and those pink iced buns still hit the spot when you need a sugar fix mid-shopping spree.
