Featuring and photographing a plethora of the most exciting bakeries, from London bread royalty Eric’s and Toad (both pioneering sustainable farming practices with UK-grown grain) to Manchester-based fermentation experts Pollen, whose croissants take four days to produce from start to finish. There is a Filipino bakery with purple yam tart; a service station off the A303 that serves up Argentine empanadas and a bakery in Bristol that has packets of croissant crisps. Whether your passion is pastry, cake, sandwiches, pizza or bread, this new book tells you where to find the absolute finest.
The book includes 62 bakeries across England, Scotland and Wales. Here we take a look at what bakeries in Scotland Milly thought were the best.

9. Kaf Coffee, Glasgow
This Glasgow cafe, which also has an outlet in Bearsden, has been a favourite of locals for years. Owner Leo Belcher and her team make a range of baked goods, but they also sell specialty food and drinks as well as things to heat up at home such as pizza. Pop in for their eye-catching, perfectly laminated pastries or their Cubanos with corn or ham and cheese - delicious. Photo: Kaf
