A good bakery is judged on pastry that is golden and buttery, and on fillings that have a generous amount of meat or cheese. Pies are best eaten fresh, so a visit early in the day usually means the widest range. Regulars often buy the same items again, which shows which products the bakery keeps consistent. A clean counter matters as much as the taste, so it is worth noticing how the display is kept.
