"The Verdict: The excellent pastries make this bakery worth the early morning alarm. We’ve experienced the frustration of arriving at this Notting Hill bakery only to find a couple of sandwiches and a cookie left on the counter. But once we cracked the code—arriving just before they open at 8am—we had our first real taste of Layla Bakery. The strawberry jam-filled bows, glistening morning buns, and savoury garlic twists are some of the best in London." - sinead cranna, rianne shlebak, jake missing
