Poilane reviews

Their bread was worse than Greggs. I have had better-tasting cardboard. How much for a cream slice?!? What a joke. NO STARS.

The best bread in London when bought freshly at the shop in Elizabeth Street.

Fantastic bread, nothing to do with the bread you can buy in most places these days.
