Bakeries in Thornton Heath

“Discovered this bakery as I was in Thornton Heath which is near the station.
I was drawn by the shop fonts which looked different.
It was eggless cakes inside and the star cookies looked quirky.
The eclairs were considerable but you could see it was not fresh cream as it was quite stiff.
Anyway, the rock cake caught my eye.
Nothing was priced so had to take her word for it as she gave me that look.
Anyway, the rock cake with cherries turned out really delicious.
It was crisp on the outside but slightly soft in the middle like a cake.
The taste was so comforting with cinnamon spices and finely chopped glacier cherries.
The texture is like the crumbly edges of a cake freshly from the oven with softness.”

“INESA!!! AN ANGEL!!!!! Evening before my wedding, as the 3 tier cake (full disclosure- from a different place) was being transported from London to Cheltenham, it slipped and fell. Wife was in absolute tears! Huge panic. Called up several places to see if it could be fixed both in London and Cheltenham. Tried a local lady in Cheltenham, who was incredibly unhelpful, rude, and made it clear again and again she was going to charge me BIG due to last minute repair. She was also annoyed I didn’t get a cake from her. But called up Inesa, and this AMAZING person said she’d repair it free of charge and couldn’t accept any money, understanding how important and traumatising something like this is (even though the cake was from elsewhere). A genuine person. Appreciated even more so after seeing how the other lady in Cheltenham would’ve happily taken advantage of such misfortune. I will definitely be coming to Inesa. Even though I’m yet to try her cakes (which I’m sure are great), a person who runs their business with such compassion and understanding, I will happily support. Businesses need more people like this. True,
Honest and good hearted people who genuinely care about their craft and not just trying to make money. I cannot thank Inesa enough. Saved the day!!!!!! Don’t know what we would’ve done if it weren’t for you!!!!”

“The love and care that goes into all of these delicious foods is incredible and Giancarlo has a natural talent for creating sensational foods. From the lasagne, arancini balls, all the cakes and tiramisu are all delicious and well worth trying. Thank you for all that you do.”

“I got the coconut cake and banana cake OMG 10/10 flavours I tell you what I’m from west London so the drive to Thornton heath is 1hr 20mins and I’m going to drive back just for the rest of the cakes I need to go thru the menu I absolutely recommend”

“They don't do much in the way of gluten free options but what they do is fab! Had the most amazing gluten free apple and custard muffin recently, and very reasonably priced.”

“I got the bakes...lovely as always but the staff and shop is not the best...but I dont go for their service or to chat I just want a bake and to go.”
