Margot Bakery in Barnet

Always brilliant food. Best bakery in London. Their sourdough cholla is worth a trip itself and I am a huge fan of their home made granola. Right amount of salt vs sugar

Nice quality bit expensive bakery compared to other similar quality bakeries in north london. Have been a customer since day 1 but increasingly find myself going only if I can’t get to better bakeries of which there are now several in the area because the service is appalling , extremely rude and unfriendly. Sadly this means I rarely buy at Margot now even though it’s the nearest good bakery to me.

I am quite shocked with the rating on here. Margots is great quality coffee and baked goods and everyone we take there love it! Our favourite is the geronimo bread which we LOVE and we often buy one for friends we go to visit too! The prices are high, but this is a small business and offering quality goods so is worth the price tag entirely.

We have been coming for several times . We love the bakery goods, although the size of the croissants are very different every time . Sometimes much smaller for the price , I consider. Overall the bakery goods are delicious but the customer service is far from a good one. This morning the lady was looking very stressed and rushing although there was no quee . We are going for a coffee to relax ,not feeling in a military environment. We where looking what to choose and we felt very rushed . There is another girl very friendly and kind though. My apologies but customers must be able to have their time to look what to choose at their peace.

most expensive coffee and bakery in the area, nice staff but very unfriendly owner who couldn't care less if you raise a concern

I love this bakery it is not cheap but it is excellent proper sourdough. My favourite is the Geronimo loaf but wild garlic comes a close second. The Babka is wonderful and the cinnamon rolls are to die for. I have also found the staff helpful and mostly cheerful if they are not really busy so I am surprised to hear some of the comments. I remember during lockdown they gave loads of bread away to the local East Finchley community. . I have never eaten in so I cannot comment about the coffee. It is great to have this local to me

I have to stop myself going too often as I can't resist adding to what I went for. My favourite bakery, delicious, healthy, handmade bread. I have turned some new friends into Geronimo (many seeds) addicts who will stop inviting me for lunch if I arrive without ( don't invite Monday/Tuesday when closed!)! You pay a reasonable and above average price for the high quality that tastes like real food. Sometimes waiting a few minutes to be served allows me time to peruse the sweet treats. My favourite bread in the world!

Overpriced for what it is. The seating inside is too cramped and the prices are ridiculous for what it offers. Better places nearby

The products are massively overpriced, catering only to well-to-do locals. The coffee is tiny and for one small coffee and a cinnamon roll you pay over £7. Plus the owner is arrogant and impolite. I feel sorry for the staff who have to deal with her daily.

Delicious pastries and breads but staggeringly overpriced - 2 vegetable pastries for £12. The staff make you feel like you should feel privileged to purchase their products and to be served by them. I had intended to purchase 2 cinnamon buns as well, but was so disgusted with the server’s attitude that I resisted. Certainly will never return.

This place simply hates its customers. The service is terribly slow. They don’t accept cash and don’t care about the time people waste waiting for them outside.

I’ve been a local for more than 20 years and only recently heard of this bakery. Today was my first visit. I bought three items: 1. “soft galette dough, filled with with Spinach, Ricotta, Feta, Spring Onion & Garlic”: flavoursome, well balanced filing wrapped in a beautiful, light, perfectly cooked dough. By far the best I’ve ever had of this type. 2. “Sbriciolata al Limone”: exquisite lemon tart topped with crumble. All elements perfect. Delicious creamy lemon filling, not too sweet. Pastry base biscuity and crisp. Just right. Really excellent. 3. “Margot made with 100% Wild farmed grain flour”: this is a loaf. Fresh still warm from the oven with a lightly crispy crust and perfect slightly chewy crumb with a deliciously complex flavour. Perfect. I feel very fortunate to be a local and I’m sure to be a regular.

If the owner could pich her staff the way she bakes the sourdough bread, then the place would have been perfect. Just a reminder that a small local village shop is depending on its customers and relays on a customer relations... otherwise, the place is surrounded by bakeries and coffee shops. Ohh yeh.. one more thing - a bakery should have a slicing machine... Don't you think?

We just love the breads in Margot Bakery and the Challah bread is the most delicious one I ever had in my life. I really like that I can purchase some other products too such as farm milk, oat milk, organic eggs and veggies. I really like the staff as well, they are kind and helpful, and someone mentioned that they are sour. Well I don't agree. They are real humans and being tired sometimes maybe which is normal. I don't like those places where the staff is forced to have a fake smile on all the time. Thanks for your hard work and delicious bakeries dear Margot Bakery Staff.

Strange experience. Good food but strangely rude staff. As if they’re doing you a favour by looking up acknowledging you. Never felt less welcome.

If you like hot chocolate and good service DO NOT GO HERE!!!!! Cost £3.20 for an espresso sized cup filled with a liquid that was a cross between coffee and bitter chocolate. I appreciate they use 70% coco but it is gross. Over priced for...

Fantastic bread and I always come away with something else interesting like unusual apple varieties or lemon polenta cake. I know how hard it is to bake this sort of bread rather than supermarket pap so I don’t mind the price. I have never had...

Was excited to visit the place given that friends liked the breads... and they weren’t bad... just not sure about staff

Been a few times for challah and sourdough loaves and recently tried the other baked goods. Babka is delicious, pain au chocolat is exceptional - I think the best I've had in London, also a very good cinnamon roll. I don't live that close otherwise...

I've given Margot a lot of tries in the hopes they'd improve. I will say their sourdough is excellent but like most things overpriced. I've had tasteless cinnamon rolls, flat croissants and today I was served burnt focaccia for £6 and a brownie that looked...

Bread is outstanding quality, rare to get such good fresh bread in the UK. Service is catastrophically slow. I don't know how it is possible to take 5-7 minutes to serve 1 gentleman buying a sandwhich, a loaf and a hot drink. A queue of...

Excellent. Everything they sell is the very best version of the thing they say it is. Love it, we’re insanely lucky to have it locally.

I visit Margot Bakery every two to three weeks and have always enjoyed good service and great product. The pain aux raisins are the best I have ever had and my son when visiting from Nottingham always seeks to enjoy one. Hopefully as lockdown eases...

I used to love this place, but venturing back I was really disappointed. Firstly the staff member serving customers wasn’t wearing a mask and a lot of the products were out on the counter (that both the staff member and customers were talking directly over)...

I used to be a regular at this bakery until recently. I bought a loaf of bread last week only to find out at home that it was not a whole loaf. This was not mentioned to me by the staff member who sold me...

The owner, (I think Michelle) is rude to the customers. Doesn’t let to choose products. Who does that? Good products, but people working there need training, especially the management.

Great selection of cakes and consistently good coffee. Really looking forward to the day I can add more Margot trips into my weekly routine!

The quality, the food , the produce - all exceptional!! The prices are a bit high but i guess it supports the quality and produce used. Never questioned that, all fine until it comes to customer service . Lacking it badly & what surprised me...

This bakery is a hidden gem that we are so lucky to have. As you approach, the smell of freshly baked bread and pastries greets you. The bread is amazing, as are the almond croissants and the peanut butter cookies. The staff are always lovely...

I'm not sure if the people leaving negative feedback are refering to another bakery but since I moved to East Finchley and discovered Margot Bakery, this is the only place my husband and I visit during the weekends (we normally don't have breakfast on weekdays,...
