Review 6: Peyton and Byrne
The other week both me and my friend had both had a pretty miserable time. So we decided that meeting up for an afternoon wandering around Greenwich would be the ideal cure for our foul moods, and you know? It worked.
There was absolutely no question that we would be stopping at a cafe while in Greenwich, we both love cake way too much to go out for an afternoon and not find a local cafe. So we spent the overground ride googling potential candidates for our afternoon cake fix and came across Peyton and Byrne. The reviews were good, it was near the overground, we had a winner.
After a wander around Greenwich Park, taking in the views from the top of the hill looking over the Thames and strolling through the flower gardens, it started to rain. There was never a surer sign that it was time for cake.
Catherine had a slice of Bakewell, while I opted for the Chocolate and Salted Caramel Tart. I can’t speak for the Bakewell, but my goodness my tart hit the spot. Gorgeous shortcrust pastry, with a layer of salted caramel on its base, then filled with a rich creamy chocolate ganache, topped with chocolate shavings. It was drool worthy. I will 100% be attempting to recreate this at home in the not too distant future.
Turns out, Peyton and Byrne have three cafes/bakeries across London, with locations in Fitzrovia and Covent Garden, as well as this one in Greenwich. I’d highly recommend a visit if you are passing by. You can find Peyton and Byrne’s details below.
