Cuisine: Bakery, Middle Eastern
Overall Impression: 7/10

With a reputation that precedes itself, A1 Bakery is certainly a culinary gem.

For a few dollars, the spinach and cheese pies with delicious morsels of haloumi within them are a winner. The Lebanese pizzas are also very enjoyable.

The baklava is perfect. For once the sweetness is not overpowering so you can enjoy the subtleties. The baklava rustled like leaves as I picked it up - that is how thin and delicate the layers are! It smelt of butter and toasted nuts.

No frills. The food is simple, to the point and irresistible.
