I was genuinely shocked at the service of the woman serving here. Unfriendly, unhelpful and very okay to ignore people even when being called for help. Pastry was mediocre and sad, I hardly ever regret buying a pastry but this was a horrible occurrence. Overall an extremely weird experience, please save your money and time and visit one of the many OTHER wonderful establishments in the area.

I went late in the evening when the shop was about to close, so I got takeaway. I ordered an Americano and Chocolate chips. They went well together, but the chips were a bit too sweet (for me) on their own.

Amazing variety of pastries, from flaky croissants to mouthwatering cinnamon rolls that you just can't resist. The quality of their ingredients really comes through in every bite. Personally, I can't get enough of their freshly baked bread, especially the Mr. Toast – it's just perfect for a filling breakfast or a quick, tasty lunch.

Service was nice. Food was alright. The taste was nice but the portion size was less for the price and I believe you can get better tasting or more quantity for the price elsewhere in the area. Although food was fine, I wouldn't come back because there's no WiFi (to sit and work from the cafe) and not even a toilet or handwash place for customers. These are almost a given these days in any cafe, especially one located so centrally.

Just tastes like bread with sugar. Or sugar with bread. Maybe it was a mistake to get the vanilla bun rather than the cinammon bun but it was very unimpressive and to be honest I regret spending that much money on it!

Got two cups of coffee and a seasonal bun, dine in. The latte presentation looks disgusting. Barista can’t be bothered to do latte art. The bun is excessively sweet and cold. The decor is old and tacky. I really wonder those who claimed them having the best bun, really? Is this the only coffee shop you have been to in central London?🤷🏻‍♀️

Greeted with a frown. I was made to feel as though I were not welcome. Took cash out to pay before I ordered and was rushed to say what I wanted. When the "grinch" was handing me my coffee she said aggressively "WE ONLY TAKE CARDS"! I explained that u was sorry and its OK, I'll get my card from next door and she grabbed the coffee and said "JESUS". I left feeling extremely upset. The cashier should not be dealing with any customers in any capacity. ADVOID!!!

The whole rustic old style bakery decor and the enticing pastries truly draw you in. It is true that the pastries are quite good. My go to was the Saffron. "Was" being the key word because today was the last time. The sandwich pictured costs £9 for essentially two bites of a cheese toastie and what feels like a concrete reinforced salad leaf that sits in your stomach as you stare out the window at the next victim drawn to those damned pastries. It could of worked out so well. But its a gentrified low quality bakery thats overpriced and plays top 40 radio music loudly. There was potential for a quaint and wholesome rustic bakery here but its just shameful. The staff are nice anyhow, not their fault. Still, there's so many better sandwiches and lunch to be had on Goodge street.

Wish I had read the reviews of this particular fabrique bakery before visiting with my sisters. I wanted to take them to a nice bakery in London, and this came up as a suggestion, Disappointingly cold reception and service throughout our time here, buns were nice but it doesn’t make up for feeling unwelcome.. there’s so much choice around central London, if atmosphere and service matter then you’re better off going somewhere else. Wish we had walked out, not what you expect when you go for a day out.. Such a shame!

Being a Dane with a deep appreciation for pastries, I can wholeheartedly declare that Fabrique's cardamom bun was nothing short of perfection. From the moment I took the first bite, it was evident that every aspect was meticulously crafted. The dough was light and airy, the cardamom flavour was exquisite, and the overall balance was spot-on. As someone born and bred on pastries, I relished devouring every moment of this culinary experience. The aroma alone was enough to transport me back to the bakeries of Copenhagen. The attention to detail at Fabrique truly shines through in their cardamom bun. It was a delightful treat that not only met but exceeded my expectations! 🥐

The food probably deserves more than a 3 star but for what was essentially a cheese toastie, latte and a cardomon bun £17.05 was extreme. If we are reviewing the business overall then a 3 star is probably right due to the exaggerated prices. The cheese toastie was delicious though. Would I go back..? Not at those prices.

This is more a shop that sells stuff baked outside the premises than a bakery, for example they won’t cut the bread for you. The French name lured me here, but pastries and baguette’s prices are sky high (if you’re French, brave yourself for £4.20 = 5€ baguette!!!). The cinnamon buns are cool.

Cinnamon & cardoman buns here reliably delicious. But yesterday was served a really bad flat white - it seemed to have been half filled with boiling water.

Used to be a favourite of mine, but standards seem to have gone down. Stopped by today and while the cardamom buns were as good as ever, the service was poor. We were served a very sub-standard flat white and the woman behind the counter was very standoffish and inattentive- far more interested in chatting to her friends who were camped out there eating the leftover pastries. Hope it's better next time :/

High quality bread. The sourdough bread or levain is triple risen with big bubbles inside and crunch on the outside. Freezes very well. They also do saffron with cardamom buns and cinnamon buns. Their croissants are absolutely lovely but very unfortunately they stop making them in summer and the reason for that is that the bakery is very hot. Bizarre! I asked how other bakeries are managing then? Around Christmas, they make amazing almond croissants with saffron, only available around Christmas. Crunchy from outside with saffron infused in the dough. As opposed to most almond croissants sold elsewhere, you can taste the almond rather than the sugar. Their coffee is smooth and their service is very pleasant.

While Fabrique may look like a cute, small, local bakery shop, it is part of a larger Swedish chain with six locations in London and sixteen in Stockholm. What is warm and friendly is the service - non rushed, conversational but efficient. My experience with Fabrique is that they are masters of rolled baked goods - cinnamon rolls, cardamom rolls and saffron rolls. The prices are in line with the area (£3 for a cinnamon roll) and the portions are on the smaller side. If you are in the area and looking for some memorable baked good walk down Goodge Street and Warren Street, you will find some outstanding Swedish and French bakery shops.

Made a reservation for Sunday brunch, the entrance is supposed to be wheelchair accessible however there is still a step, the corner you need to turn at the entrance is very tight and as it was peak time it was impossible for my friend in a wheelchair to manoeuvre, so we asked to swap for a table outside which the staff kindly did so (although a different staff member who didn’t realise we had a reservation already taken care of barked at us to get in the queue, which was a bit unpleasant. I clarified we had already been seated and they backed off). Food was great, service was slow but to be expected at that time. Overall grateful to the members of staff who did accommodate us but neither of us would say the entrance is truly wheelchair friendly (and there’s no accessible toilet but we knew this from the website). Just a note for any future customers who may have issue with steps and stairs.

I always come back here every time I visit London. Great coffee and delicious food, plus it’s a lovely light-filled oasis in the heart of London, tucked away just enough that it’s usually calm and chilled. Great seating outside too, I’ve sat outside all through the seasons and the vibes are always spot on.
