  I have such happy memories of this well established business, my childhood is filled with big memories of shelves and racks stocked high with every imaginable type of sugary treat. From cream filled, icing topped buns to the timeless mallow filled ice cream cones all neatly displayed ready to be served in a brown paper bag to wide eyed children, or rather the wide eyed children's nanny who had brought you here, to this once seemingly magical place.
  The brown paper bag is still here but that's about all that remains from my memories. I decided to try and re-enact my childhood memory with my own children who I had suitably informed them that they would be able to choose from a vast array of treats. It didn't go down as I had planned, the vast array of sugar had gone, in fact nearly every treat had gone. No longer does it seem that they stock the array they once had but it seems they seem to have trouble stocking anything other than gingerbread men and full on cakes. I felt like asking why but I could see why, this place is nothing more than a coffee house now, pretending to be a bakery​. I mean, they are even buying the gingerbread men in! And selling them at extortionate prices. £1.75 for a gingerbread sheep face! Come on your not going to create memories like that. But then I suppose that's all to be expected now, in an age where local traders complain that all our High Streets look the same and that they are loosing the "personal" touch only to try and be a "local" Starbucks.
  
  Didn't​ try the coffee but I'm sure it's good. I'm off to Greggs.
