British Bakeries have established themselves as premium establishments. But the difference is that they are available to almost everyone. Their benefits don't end there. Therefore, it is worth getting to know these coffee shops-pastry shops better.

What are "British Bakeries"?

This is the name of the original catering establishment, which combines a pastry shop, coffee shop, cafe and bakery. These are small cozy establishments, the main task of which is to offer customers freshly baked products at any time of the day. Here you can drink hot coffee, eat crispy croissants or choose a cup of fragrant tea with an amazing cake. In general, this is an unusual format of institutions for Russia, adopted by residents almost immediately and has already become something integral.

In addition to pastries and cakes, "British Bakeries" offer customers full breakfasts, lunches, sandwiches and European cuisine. This is some rebranding of the original format for a network of similar establishments, which attracted even morevisitors.

Unusual history of familiar establishments

Where did the idea of such a catering place come from, and who was its predecessor? Oddly enough, this is the company "B altic bread". Initially, it developed in the field of production of bakery products and confectionery products, and then began to expand its capabilities and try itself in a new role:

• organization of catering;
• increasing production volumes by working with wholesale supplies;
• opening a network of own bakeries.

Existing for more than 20 years in the trade market, the company "B altic bread" has won the trust of many large companies. Therefore, the demand for its products and services is kept at a high level. It is for this reason that the opening of mini-bakeries (pastry shops) "British Bakeries" was an expected step, which was immediately approved by partners.

The invisible connection between the British and Russians

Despite the fact that there is a network of establishments in some Russian cities, it is the "British bakeries" in St. Petersburg that are considered the most in demand and most correspond to the brand name. What is the reason?

The answer is on the surface. The inhabitants of St. Petersburg are with the British in almost the same conditions of existence. They live in rainy and damp weather conditions, are accustomed to fog, love to drink aromatic tea and hot coffee. They visit with sweets and love spending evenings with their families.

These details are so similarthat opening a new format of catering places (using English technologies and traditions) has become a win-win business for the founders.
