A bakery is built around quick, affordable purchases rather than a sit-down meal, bread, pastries and cakes priced individually and bought to take away or eat with a coffee, closer in format to a coffee shop than a restaurant. Seating, where it exists at all, is usually limited and secondary to the counter.
Bakeries range from small independent shops focused purely on bread and pastries to larger cafe-style bakeries that also serve sandwiches, quiches and coffee. The focus stays on baked goods even where a wider food menu exists, and most operate on a counter-service, grab-and-go basis rather than table service.
Of the 4 bakerys we list, the highest concentration is in Westminster (4).
Expect a counter of bread, croissants, cakes and pastries, often with a small selection of savoury items like sandwiches or quiche, and coffee available alongside. Seating tends to be limited, and the format suits a quick stop rather than a sit-down meal.
Seafood doesn't feature heavily in a typical bakery, though a smoked salmon bagel or a prawn-based sandwich filling does turn up on some bakery-cafe menus that go beyond straightforward bread and pastries.

It depends on the bakery. Some stick purely to bread, cakes and pastries, while others, especially cafe-style bakeries, also serve sandwiches or light savoury food, so it's worth checking a specific listing if you want more than a pastry.
Many offer at least limited seating alongside takeaway, though it's rarely a full sit-down setup. It's best treated as a quick stop rather than a venue for a leisurely meal.
