Great local bakery - good bread and all fresh. The people who work here can be on the grumpy / abrupt side, but in a homey kind of way if that makes sense. At the weekend there's often a queue out the door (abrupt has it's uses) and it is one of the many shops that serves to make this stretch of Essex Rd / Angel feel like a proper neighbourhood.
Though the nutella donut is a bit much, even for me. -

Get ready for Raab to rock your world!
First found this gem when I was hungover and dying for a sausage roll (pig in blanket). Found a review of Raabs online and booted my boyfriend out the door to go get one for me!
He came back with sausage rolls and only admitted later that he had also bought a made to order sandwich that was so delicious that he had wolfed the whole thing down on the short walk home. Didn't feel like sharing obviously!!
I've since called into Raabs myself and bought a loaf of freshly made bread. Such a treat to find home-baking style food in London!
Staff member who served me was lovely and really helpful, prices are super cheap and they have loads of treats on sale too. -

This is by far my favourite bakery. It more or less kicked me out of my three years of low-carb commitment. Unlike most bakeries in London that are all about their artisan breads, croissants and pain au chocolats, these guys ALSO have an amazing range of traditional English baked goodies. All fresh in the morning. I'm talking scones, chelsea buns, hot cross buns, marble cake, bread pudding, pig in blanket, rock cake, lemon drizzle, pies... you name it.
I nearly always go for the granary rolls (which are great with the smoked salmon from the fish mongers further up the street) and their amazingly light yet crunchy scones (which are downright superior). It's gotten to the point where I am surprised they don't just say "scones?" when they see me in the doorway.
And the price? Oh it's so darn cheap it's almost not fair. -

Love this place! Found it totally by accident and it was a great find. My favourites are the sunflower seed bread and iced Danish ring. It's reasonably priced and I've found the staff friendly and efficient. It's worth the walk here from WC1!

This is such a gorgeous bakery. I popped in this morning to find it packed with people who have ducked out of the cold to warm up and buy some freshly baked goodies. And goodies they have. Raab's boasts a great range of breads - from sunflower seed loafs, to wholemeal rolls and olive bread.
They have a great range of old-school cakes and muffins that the kiddies will love, with decorations and coloured frosting. The bakery also does freshly-made sandwiches, pies and sausage rolls.
Great value, a warm and buzzing atmosphere and yummy yummy bakery goods. Worth a visit if you're in the area!
