点评:Pevensey Bay really needed an artisan bakery and this is the real deal – the owner of Poppy Seed Bakery, who have just taken over the Ocean View, has won a number of prestigious national awards for baking. My test of a decent bakers – check out their sourdough, and the croissants. My sourdough loaf was really good, just the right balance of texture, crustiness and flavour. Their plain croissant was also great - light, crumbly and buttery, just like it should be, whilst their almond croissants are to die for. Honourable mention to their delicious iced cinnamon buns too. I’m going to be working through their entire range at this rate. Forget about the negative review below about café service – it was made during their first day of opening when the place was mobbed with café customers and you could hardly get through the door. I saw their friendly staff continuously apologising for delays which I could see must have been unavoidable – it’s all a lot calmer now, and staff are really friendly and helpful and happy to talk about their lovely bakery products. Quite a contrast to some of the patisseries in Brighton I’ve used in the past. I haven’t tried the café yet but looking around the customers all seemed happy and satisfied and there’s a nice-looking outside area to sit in the back too. Can’t recommend this place more highly.
翻译:佩文西湾 (Pevensey Bay) 确实需要一家手工面包店,而这家就是货真价实的——刚刚接管海景酒店的 Poppy Seed Bakery 的老板曾荣获多项著名的国家烘焙奖项。我对优秀面包师的评价是——看看他们的酸面包和羊角面包。我的酸面包真的很不错,质地、脆度和味道的平衡恰到好处。他们原味羊角面包也很棒——轻盈、酥脆、黄油味十足,正如它应有的那样,而他们的杏仁羊角面包更是令人垂涎欲滴。还要特别提一下他们美味的冰肉桂卷。照这样下去,我要把他们所有的面包都尝遍。忘掉下面那条关于咖啡馆服务的负面评论吧——那是在他们开业第一天写的,当时咖啡馆里挤满了顾客,几乎挤不进门。我看到他们友善的员工不停地为延误道歉,我知道延误肯定是不可避免的——现在一切都平静多了,员工们都非常友好、乐于助人,而且很乐意谈论他们美味的烘焙产品。这与我以前在布莱顿光顾过的一些糕点店形成了鲜明对比。我还没去过这家咖啡馆,但环顾四周,顾客们看起来都很开心,也很满意,而且后面还有一个漂亮的户外座位区可以坐。强烈推荐这家店。
