Saibakes

Organic carrot cake brings together the natural sweetness of carrots and warming spice. Visitors have also remarked on the whole-wheat flavour of the flour and the gentle sweetness of the sugar. Saibakes offers bakes and cakes made with ingredients that include organic and domestically sourced produce, as well as eggs from free-range hens. Salted cookies and raspberry-and-rose cake have also won praise. Choosing between a sweet slice of cake and a savoury-leaning cookie is part of the pleasure of picking something to take away.

The cherry blossom Victoria cake has been noted for its fragrance, and some customers have bought it alongside the organic carrot cake. There are also classic-style bakes such as chestnut-and-chocolate pound cake and brandy cake. These are worth considering if you prefer a thoroughly baked cake to a softer one layered with cream or mousse. Tea or coffee makes a suggested accompaniment.

Bramley apple tart is another menu option. One customer described its apple filling as distinctly tart, with a lightly sweet pastry. It is a choice to look out for if you would like to try a bake where the sharpness of the fruit takes centre stage.

This is a takeaway-only patisserie, open on Fridays and Saturdays from 11 to 17. As it is open on limited days, check the latest opening information before visiting.
