Intrepid Bakers NW5

Open from 7am until as late as 9pm on Fridays and Saturdays, this family-run bakery on Fortess Road keeps longer hours than most in London, with pastries and speciality coffee flowing from breakfast well into the evening. Dogs are welcome, the entrance is wheelchair-accessible, and takeaway, delivery and kerbside pickup sit alongside dine-in. A 4.6 rating from 221 reviews suggests the Kentish Town neighbourhood has firmly taken it to heart.
