Boulangerie Jade

Founded in 2002 by Christophe LeTynevez, a pastry chef who trained in Paris from the age of 15, this Blackheath bakery has spent over two decades bringing traditional French baking to south-east London. Everything is made by hand from scratch, with ingredients sourced from Moulin de Paris and Forichier in Brittany, and the counter spans viennoiseries, breads, savouries, tarts and French-inspired breakfast and brunch. Offered for takeaway or dine-in, it holds a steady 4.2 from nearly 300 reviews — a well-loved neighbourhood staple.
