London isn't exactly lacking in pastries, but Riga's cult bakery Cruffins has just raised the stakes with a bright yellow flagship on Drury Lane. Known for their croissant–muffin hybrids stuffed with rich creams and ganaches, they've finally brought their favourites to Covent Garden.
You'll find all the hits, like the raspberry cheesecake, pistachio ganache and a Snickers-inspired cruffin. The London menu is also introducing a breakfast range served from 8am every day, including salmon and avocado, chicken caesar and 'The Londoner', a Drury Lane exclusive with smoked bacon, brown sauce, hollandaise and a Clarence Court egg. Drinks include speciality coffee from Volcano, teas, matcha and even Champagne, best enjoyed inside or at the handful of outdoor tables made for people-watching.
Cruffins is open now and is set to become Covent Garden's new pastry obsession.
