What User likes about Paul Bakery:
Stopped here for a breakfast, really nice quality food, and the service is excellent, thank you to the Italian waiter Nicola? for his excellent service and advice, would defiantly go here again, it’s not a full English but it’s quality food none the less, they also sell rolls to take away, and fab cakes View all feedback. What User doesn't like about Paul Bakery:
The place is not clean, the service is middle eastern. The customers rude trying to take your turn. It is pity that such a lovely cafe is not manged well probably because it is understaffed. View all feedback.

Tasty sandwiches or fresh pastries, selection of delicious coffees, and friendly efficient service. Convivial spot for meeting family or friends.

At Paul, the charm of freshly baked pastries and delightful coffee often clashes with inconsistent service. While many guests rave about the quality of croissants and the inviting atmosphere, they express frustration over a lack of politeness and organization among staff, with some describing their experiences as reminiscent of a comedy show. Despite its popularity, especially among locals, the service issues have deterred repeat visits for some. Overall, while the food shines, the service leaves much to be desired, suggesting that management should prioritize enhancing staff interactions to match the culinary excellence.
