Rinkoff Bakery | Whitechapel

Baking in Whitechapel since 1911, when Hyman Rinkoff first opened the doors, this family-run bakery still works from recipes that travelled from Kyiv to East London — challah, sourdough and bagels alongside the cakes, cookies and pastries on the counter. It's best known for the crodough, its signature bake, and the 4.5 stars from 270 reviews suggest plenty of locals agree. Doors open at 7am on weekdays, with takeaway and delivery both available.
