On one fine Thursday morning, I was at Borough Market, waiting for Kate, aka Madam Bentley…
We decided to meet up at Konditor & Cook on Stoney Street around 11ish.
While I was waiting for her to show up, I gazed at their window display longingly. Those cakes, don’t they look gorgeous? Konditor & Cook is very well-known amongst Londoners for their highly delectable and colourful sweets…
Kate joined me shortly and I went inside to buy some coffee and pastries.
The inside of the shop was an Aladdin’s Cave for anyone with a sweet tooth…
Adorable chocolates and mazipans…
Ahhhh, they all looked so seductive and dangerous!
We had to exercise a considerable amount of willpower in order to choose just one pastry each, a pain au chocolat for Kate and a mince-pie for me.
After invigorating us with caffeine & sugar, we walked through the market…
A stall selling cured meats…
Fresh seafood…
Dairy products and eggs…
A butcher…
This stall was definitely not for the faint-hearted. On the display were headless bunnies and geese, hanging up upside down, looking rather gruesome…
In spite of visiting the market on a normal weekday, the amount and variety of the stalls trading surprised and impressed us. It would be mega handy if I were living / working nearby. A tasty gourmet lunch would be available on a daily basis and no more wandering around with a basket in a crowded supermarket for dinner hunting. Sounds damn attractive…
Hopla! both market and that sweet coffee place joined my list of London to dos for next time! So delicious! x
Oh yes, Konditor & Cook makes amazing cakes and a visit to Borough Market is a definite must when you are in London! And the market is more lively between Thursday to Saturday. (^_<)b x
Really lovely photos. I am just back from Vienna and going through serious cake withdrawl. This is not helping!
Back from Vienna? Oh I envy you because I visited the city once before but struck by flu and had to hole up in the hotel. I couldn’t even eat that famous chocolate cake… 😂 x
Sigh. Wasn’t it lovely? And cold!!! xxxxx
We must meet up again before Christmas! xxxxxx
