Quince Bakery, a quaint bakehouse on New North Road in Islington, has earned a perfect 5 out of 5 stars from Time Out. Described as a place that would appeal to a 'De Beauvoir darling' fond of gingham dresses and headscarves, the bakery specializes in gloriously imperfect buns, tarts, cakes, pies, cookies, scones, and other pastries made with seasonal produce.
Seasonal Offerings and Signature Buns
The menu changes with the seasons, featuring items like a peach and custard bun or a ratatouille galette. A staple is the brown butter bun: a pillowy roll with a nugget of butter baked into its centre, topped with crunchy craquelin, delivering a treacly and slightly salty taste. Quince also produces excellent bread, available as whole loaves or in tasty sandwiches, and sells produce alongside hot and cold drinks.
Future Plans and Location
Quince Bakery has plans to open a café across the road, expanding its presence in the neighbourhood. Located at 267 New North Road, Islington, London N1 7AA, the bakery is a cute, homely spot for locals and visitors alike. According to Time Out reviewer India Lawrence, it is 'a cute neighbourhood bakery' that embodies a charming, rustic appeal.
