A small bakery that makes everything itself

Baked4u is a cake shop and pastry counter run by a small team who arrive long before the doors open. Sponge, pastry, mousse, ganache, jam and granola are all made in our kitchen, in batches sized to a single day's trade. What does not sell is not carried over to tomorrow, which is the main reason the list changes from morning to afternoon.

Cakes for the days that matter

Most of our whole cakes leave the shop for a birthday, an anniversary, an engagement or an office send-off. They come in three sizes and a dozen flavours, and every one of them is also sold by the slice, so nobody has to gamble a whole cake on a flavour they have never tried. Custom work — a specific colour, a message piped on top, a tiered cake for a wedding — takes a few days' notice and a short conversation about what you actually want.

Pastries from seven in the morning

The pastry case is filled first thing: croissants and danishes out of the oven, financiers and palmiers alongside them, cookies baked through the day. Coffee is served at the same counter, along with a short lunch menu of croissant sandwiches, quiche and soup.

Ordering ahead

Same-day cakes and pastries are usually available straight from the case. For a particular flavour or size, or for a tray of pastries for a meeting, order a day or three ahead and it will be boxed and waiting at the time you choose. Larger events — dessert tables, cookie platters, cakes for a room full of people — are worth a short enquiry so we can plan the oven around them.
