Midnight bakery

On an early evening stroll around the West End last night in search of food I was surprised by how many places had shut up for the day. We decided to head towards Basaba on Wardour street as a safe option but just before reaching it passed a place a normally missed from blind hunger, Princi. Bearing in mind the streets were fairly quiet this place was buzzing! So much so I was a bit intimidated to go in. Nothing was hidden from the outside with the full height glass shop front. With my face pressed up against the glass the first thing that stood out was the simple metre deep counter neatly displaying rows of pastries, pizzas, meats and salads.



The interior was clean and bright and the bread was framed in lit recesses in the back wall. All the surfaces were chunky and and made up of simple, clean plains. This all day bakery is open 7am till 12 at night! and doesn't even need to flex through out the day because the food is so versatile and the displays are so extensive but so simple. Next time I eat out I'll definitely be going there for a closer look and some sneaky photos!
