House of Cake and Breakfast
Massive meringues and slabs of nougat cake at Costley & Costley's House of Burns in Kirkoswald, Scotland. They do an excellent breakfast - latte, wi-fi plus a full cooked plateful - for £6.95: highly recommended.

Pride of Plymouth
I am a huge fan of the Town Mill Bakery in Lyme Regis and they now have an off shoot - the Royal William Bakery - in the Royal William Yard, Plymouth. Fabulous freshly-baked items in unpretentious surroundings.

Bakery equipment and production is all on show
Bench seating is planks mounted on steel girders
Napkins=paper roll; butter in a big bowl; home-made peanut butter
