- Most bakeries operate as walk-in only with counter service. Cash is handy at smaller venues, though most accept cards.
- Individual pastries are the best way to sample — try two or three different pieces rather than committing to one large item.
- Weekends are busier. If the bakery is well-known, expect queues on Saturday and Sunday mornings. Weekday visits are calmer.
