It took almost a year of building work and planning to get Margot open and we refine and work on what we do every day but it is exactly as we hoped; a centre of community life and a place to buy wonderful bread and pastries, where everything is produced on site. We don't have night shifts and so the bread, pastries and cakes fill the counter and the shelves from when we open and then throughout the day.
The changing bakery menu is guided by what we are excited about; customer favourites, festivals, celebrations and seasonal produce. The bread and pastries, including babka, brioche and croissants are leavened with sourdough and we believe that this makes the best baked goods possible. We use seeds, whole grains and a long fermentation process to make full flavoured, nutritious and delicious bread.

Very excited to share many of the Margot recipes with you - everything is in there from sourdough cinnamon buns to babka to the orange polenta cake. The stunning images are by Patricia Niven. The recipes are exactly as we make them at the bakery - some are challenging but I hope it is interesting for our customers and for anyone interested in sourdough leavened sweet doughs in particular.

Great bread and pastries, worth the wait. Wholeheartedly endorse efforts to give their staff reasonable hours, protection, and break times - I'm buying a £4 loaf from a local bakery, I can afford to wait 20 mins! If more places afforded their teams this balance we'd all probably end up happier at the end of the day.

I appreciate that everyone probably has their favourite bakery in London. But if isn't Margot, then I'd have to say they're wrong.
Margot do some brilliant coffees (I go for a latte personally), all available with a range of milk alternatives. I believe they have Soy, Oat, Almond and potentially one other (don't quote me there).
My only criticism is that they do not have any sort of initiative for reusable coffee cups. I'm not a fan of the huge coffee chains, but I would like to see these guys follow suit here.

This is our favourite bakery in London. I'm an American expat, and it's the ONLY place in London serving proper bagels with the quintessential blistered crust and just the right amount of chewiness (seriously, we've tried all the rest on offer in London - they're unboiled, bland, squidgy bread rolls). My only critique is that I wish they offered more bagel flavours, but it's a small bakery and it only churns out high quality, from sourdough pastries to delicious sandwiches, and our preferred indulgent treat - babka - so I don't need the extra bagel calories. We regularly travelled from South London

These guys to l do vienoisserie right!!
Excellent bakery and variety. I've been here a few times and whilst I keep missing the croissants (I don't have a car and live far away. I can't make it before 10:00 a.m. and they're sold out! It just goes to show how good they must be!) everything else I have tried has been top-notch. I love that they use sourdough in everything which adds a nice tang. The cinnamon buns are buttery and incredibly soft. The babka is delicious and chocolatey, the peanut butter cookies are bomb! Tried both the egg and salmon sandwiches. I love that they add tons of fresh herbs

I came here because of reviews. But I was a little disappointed. No even Hi or Goodbye..I came before the closing time so I took my croissant home. One of the ladies didn't know what the pastry contained, but the other lady corrected her. However, the croissant was nothing extra and prices are very high... There is 10% service charge as well if you're eting in.
