Bertinet Bakery - Bath

One of the best bakery in Bath. Its croissant is impressive.

This is a bias review as we were fortunate enough to grab a too-good-to-go bag from this bakery, but I am BLOWN AWAY. Firstly, I am from San Francisco and I hate to tell you but this is real sourdough. Yes, it is actually supposed to taste sour. I think anyone complaining about the sourness of the bread should leave sourdough alone and get plain bread instead. Secondly, the babka is the best I've ever had. It's moist and heavenly and a far cry from the dry, overcooked knots most bakers sell. The pain raisin? Exquisite. We spent the fall in Paris and didn't have a better one there. We were also graced with a cinnamon twist that was sinfully good. All of the puffed pastry gives a rich butter warmth and mouthfeel. I think the only letdown was in the baguette which felt more like a great flute of bread than a real baguette. It had a lovely graininess like the rest of the breads we tried, but I would expect a baguette to be crustier on the outside and softer and more fine on the inside. It was still a lovely piece of bread and this place deserves all five stars.

Almond croissants are huge here..and are absolutely delightful.A little more to pay than a supermarket but the taste and quality outweighs that

We had a breakfast to take and we got everything: the croissants of almond riquísimos and the mocha was spectacular.

I had the cinnamon bretzel and pistachio swirl, both are very good!
