The Tiny Bakery on Leicester’s Clarendon Park Road is exactly what it says it is. Tiny. But it’s also excellent.

Selling artisan pastries, in-house sourdough and yeasted breads, cakes and coffee, it’s simply a lovely independent shop. Pop in and you’ll always find something delicious, whether it’s a handmade chocolate truffle bar, a cherry Bakewell swirl, a raspberry croissant or a savoury roll. There are sweet and savoury vegan options, and the coffee is excellent, too.
