Bread Ahead was a small bakery just north of Seven Dials in [[Locale Covent Garden|Covent Garden]]. It has now closed. As of October 2018 the premises are occupied by a Korean cafe called On The Dak <small>[https://www.flickr.com/photos/kake_pugh/44414968904/ photo]</small>. The information below is retained for historical purposes. <div class="old_info"> Small bakery, just north of Seven Dials in [[Locale Covent Garden|Covent Garden]], opened in October 2016. The company (overseen by a former Head Baker at [[St John, EC1M 4AY|St John]]) also has a regular stall at [[Borough Market]] and offers baking classes. As well as bread, the shop sells doughnuts, pastries, brownies and coffees/soft drinks. There is a bench inside for waiting customers, but no real table-and-chair seating. [[Kat]] visited on a Tuesday lunchtime in October 2016. There was no queue but a couple of other customers arrived while I was there. A pesto and tomato ciabatta-style bread (£2.50) was a decent size for lunch, but disappointingly oily and chewy. There weren't any other obvious savoury lunch options, though apparently they [http://www.hot-dinners.com/Gastroblog/Latest-news/bread-ahead-to-open-second-shop-in-seven-dials-plus-new-artisan-baking-classes plan to do brioche sandwiches in the near future]. A chocolate brownie (£2.50) was much more enjoyable — a good size and almost fudge-like in texture. Accessibility: One low step to get in, then level once inside. No customer toilets. [[Kat]]'s verdict: Sweets more successful than savoury, but I'll come back and try the sandwiches once they arrive. <div class="last_verified">Last visited by [[Kat]], October 2016.</div> </div>
