Piece of Cake Bakery – Central Station

A nice addition to Central Station. You can pick up items to eat in the station or on the train — they will even heat items for you if you want. Also good to pick up something on your way home. A good selection of products, like breads, cakes, buns, hot items, and more.

I pass this wee stall quite often but usually I’m in too much of a rush to stop and grab one of their delights. Today I got off the train last and managed to avoid the rush of commuters scrambling toward the exit and this presented the perfect opportunity to stop at The Piece of Cake stall without the threat of being crushed in a stampede.
The choice of baked goodness at the stall is practically endless. There’s croissants, fruit scones (I went for the blueberry scone — super foods and all that), quiche, sausage rolls as well as chocolate cake. Everything on the stall is reasonably priced. My scone set me back £1.50 but I think it’s big enough to feed me for the rest of the week.
The lovely lady working on the stall noticed that I was unsure of what to get and she recommended a thick folded crêpe that was filled with chocolate and was freshly baked ‘only an hour ago’. Her suggestion looked divine but I managed to resist and go for the sensible option. She was really informative and told me that Piece of Cake have a stall at St Georges Market and there will be one opening soon at Europa Bus station.
I would highly recommend that busy commuters slow down to a stop on their way out of Central Station and pick up some freshly made breakfast or lunch from the Piece of Cake stall. Definitely a welcome addition to the otherwise drab Central Station.
