‘can you make it look like a poster for a drum n bass night like you’d get on an A road lamppost’

see you in september, bisous xx

was just going to write ‘daddy?’ as the caption but the lads vetoed. also we make sfincione now, and it’s nearly daniel’s birthday 😍

DO YOU LOVE BUNS and would you like to work with us. drop cait & sam an email for some more details. artwork by hannah & clara, who are great and love buns but are too small to work here (yet)

mince pie croissants on the counter today and just about every day upcoming, probably. mince pies available to PREORDER (x6 or x12) whenever you want. panforte and christmas cakes to follow in a week or so. there’s been a whisper of biscotti but this is already too much information

we will be open THURS - SUN including CHRISTMAS EVE all the way through dec. then we will be closed for a couple of weeks holiday

if you’re still reading at this point: thanks and please do comment on the new extraction hood we got fitted above the oven: santa’s elves have been busy. it’s truly christmas come early for wee sam and he’s overjoyed. second photo is of the harvester near my parents and i honestly can’t remember why i saved it but it does have something christmassy about it, no?

everyone breathe xx

we are closed! back on 31 august. love you! xx

casey’s does christmas: we never do a staff party in december bc literally the last thing anyone needs in december is another social obligation so we celebrate in august instead. this year we hit the bright lights of leytonstone and drank dry. the cheese was insane. the wine was so good. i would share more photos but sadly they don’t exist as it was too fun. however if/when you get priced out of clapton and make the long well-trodden pilgrimage east along the along the camino de singburi / lea bridge road, michaela and team will take outstanding care of you

side note: we are closing for a summer holiday as per usual NOT THIS WEEK but next week 14-30 august. i’ll make a separate post and a little sign and i’ve been drip feeding the info with your morning coffee since like june , but consider yourself forewarned

WE ARE OPEN AS NORMAL FRI / SAT / SUN I mean we’re only four days a week in general it’d be a bit of a pisstake to shut for Easter, no?

MINI EGG CROISSANTS all weekend filled with almond chocolate & crushed up mini eggs. think of it as a godless hot cross bun

photo 2: giant carrots presumably left behind by giant easter bunny down by river lea. spring!

this sunday is popping up - porchetta sandwiches on crusty rolls (crusty rolls!), fennel pickle, anchovy mayo, hot sauce by sam. rolling out from 12.30/1, once we’ve cleared the decks of bread and croissants

if it’s snowing i might put another bench inside: i don’t want you to think i’m completely heartless

come pre-game your sunday roast or follow babe 2: pig in the city off to unfold

we’ll also make heaps of our current vegan offering (celeriac marinated in tamarind, soy, peanut butter & chilli with vegan lime & coriander mayo)

poster by .a.t , who is so good at so many jobs xx

see you thursday, lovers xx

SORRY i really should’ve told you earlier. hope this is ok.

from now and indefinitely we will be open THURSDAY FRIDAY SATURDAY SUNDAY each and every week, with bells on, and 35% better chat than if we try to do six days. we hope you understand

d’you remember when ken livingstone lost the london mayoral election to boris johnson and set up a kind of temporary office in the costa coffee by west hampstead station? well i’ll likely do the same in tomorrow, and then we’ll both be in casey’s baking all day weds so you can air your grievances on site

[second photo shows the back up option: flee to the south of france and reopen this cheese shop]

loads of love and see u THURSDAY - it’s like tuesday but better

BACK ONCE AGAIN FOR THE RENEGADE croissant. original pastry material. return of the sack [of flour that we use to make bread]

longer more informative post coming soon, i’ll let you have a coffee first

ah isn’t he lovely! mince pies (croissant base, spelt crumble, mincemeat filling captured in photo 2 by .leader) , fruit cake with or without marzipan and royal icing, holidaysssss

sandwiches! sunshine! tuesdayyyy!!! trying to drum up some enthusiasm for the week like a corrupt global football governing body drumming up enthusiasm for… well yeah you get it. caseys does sports chat! casey’s does current affairs! but crucially for these purposes casey’s does sandwiches:

VEGAN hispi cabbage roasted with soy chilli & miso, plus carrot coriander mint and seeds

TALEGGIO with pickled cimi di rapa
