This is obviously referred to as a "Cake Walk".

    Used to do this as a student, in Sheffield there's a long line of Greggs through the city all about 1 steak-bake-walk apart

    Manchester has got you if you fancy another one. We have so many Greggs and it ain’t even nice nor cheap anymore.

    Edit: I can’t honestly fathom that we have 16 of these shitty places within the city centre. Thats crazy. Then there’s 4-5 McD in that same area too and god knows how many Costa Coffee shops.

    godsdamn morality police thinking if pubs are too close to each other then the town will be overrun by sinners, drinkers, lesbians, witches, and taco trucks.

    i mean i can think of a great street in san francisco (yes i know what community this is) that we could go stoplight > bar > bakery > barkery > bakery > chocolate shop > bar > stoplight but that's a bit of a drive from here

    edit: it's really more of a chocolatier than a patisserie

  • my locale has one of these. all ten restaurants in town have signed up, and if you take three receipts with the restaurants having eaten at them (it can just be coffee) to city hall they give you... something? i dunno, I have only done twice in a month.

    Except the UK having a pretty crap bakery culture. It might be better in cities, but for most of us I suspect it's just "Here's a selection of stodgy pre-packed cakes we defrosted this morning. That will be £5 please. Oh you want to sit down? Then it's £6."

    That's sad to hear since there's so many cool places with bakery culture near you. That's like when I found out Houston makes New Orleans boiled crayfish wrong even tho they're only 6 hrs apart 😂

    We have a decent culture of baking - but in terms of commercial outlets you generally need to be living somewhere fancier than average to get more than one half decent bakery.

    If the new Orleans thing shocked you, Wait until you find out how upset Brits get about whether you apply clotted cream first or jam in a cream tea.

    And the counties that get the most het up about it are at immediately next to each other.

    imo this is the best way to plan a visit to a city anyway. Just pick something you like and visit all the versions of it in that city. Could be anything. Trashy bars, theaters, parks, etc. Works great

    Every year in my area there is a croissant festival where participating bakeries sell their finest croissant at 1.50$, and this is exactly what we do. A croissant crawl.
