Cake shop and cafe in [[Locale Thornton Heath|Thornton Heath]], just a few doors along from [[Thornton Heath Station]].
 This is part of a small chain - there are two shops, this one and one other on Selhurst Road in South Norwood, SE25 6XU - of cake makers. They make wedding cakes and other decorated cakes for things like birthdays, but more importantly for this guide the shop also functions as a cafe, selling tea, coffee, soft drinks, some Turkish savouries, and of course baklava, cakes and biscuits. They're remarkably cheap. For example, a coffee (which normally comes with a free small slice of sponge cake) plus cream doughnut plus big slice of chocolate cake is four quid.

It seats just a dozen people on varnished-wood upright chairs at wood-effect Formica-topped tables. The fully-glazed frontage lets in a reasonable amount of natural light. Along one wall is the service counter, with glass displays of cakes and savouries, and opposite are shelves with a few groceries (nuts, dried fruit, tinned goods, Turkish delight, etc) and a fridge with soft drinks as well as cured sausages and the like.

Prices are remarkably cheap. For example, when [[DrHyde]] visited in mid-2011, a coffee, a cream doughnut, and a big slice of chocolate cake came to just £4. Tea and coffee usually come with a free small slice of sponge cake, too.

When [[Kake]] visited in August 2017, a cup of tea (£1) came weak as requested, with a small complimentary square of light-textured but somewhat artificial-tasting banana cake. Chicken
borek (&pound;2) <small>[https://www.flickr.com/photos/kake_pugh/36961008045/ photo]</small> was heated in a panini press and cut into neat pieces; it was pretty tasty, with soft, flaky pastry and a good proportion of filling. (Other borek available included minced meat, spinach and feta, and feta and
onion.) Service was friendly, welcoming, and helpful.

[[Kake]]'s verdict: Well worth breaking a train journey for.

Accessibility: A large step to get in. No obvious customer toilet.
