Kurtosh - West End


Whilst enjoying my ice cream at Anita, I couldn't help but note the bright lights at Kurtosh, signalling that it was still open. Intrigued at the notion of a bakery being open at 8.30pm, I ambled over to take a look.


Their assortment of croissants and pastries really caught my eye. Despite the late hour, there were still quite a few options and I grabbed two items for breakfast the next day.


Other than pastries, they also specialise in slab cakes which you can purchase by the 100g serving. Being already quite full that evening, I made a note to come back at a later date to try out that tiramisu.


Not wanting to stick with the usual Pain au Chocolat, I got a Chocolate Twist for Dr L. He liked it, especially the sprinkling of chocolate chips between the flakey layers of pastry, but found it to be very similar to pain au chocolat. It was a bit oilier than the usual though, with the paper bag being soaked through overnight.



 I started my day with a plain croissant. This wasn't as big and fluffy as it's nearby competitors, but it wasn't dense, albeit a bit oily. The layers had substance and it had a nice sweet maple glaze on it. Not the best but definitely a really good breakfast. I'll have to come back for more pastries and some of their cake.
