Rinkoff Bakery (Whitechapel)

• The rating of a 4.0 is given directly to The Cro Dough
• I haven't managed to try any other products from Rinkoff but if the Cro Dough is anything to go by
• Waffle but that was a slightly different take on the Cronut and I wanted as close to the real thing as I could get it
• Essentially theirs is the same shape and design but created with their 100 year old croissant dough family recipe
• I knew exactly where I was taking her
• Luckily it was only a couple of stops up the District Line to Whitechapel and a short saunter down a side street
• The small unassuming bakery is nestled on a quiet street corner
• Away from the overcrowded pavements of the high street and thankfully there were no scenes like the queues in New York
• Custard and Cream but I have been told that there are new flavours being readied in the aisles so watch this space
• First of all the thing that you notice is that these are far heavier than you imagined they would be
• The realisation is that they are essentially deep fried croissants so the outer shell is a golden brown colour
• What you don't realise on first appearances is that the custard and raspberry jam not only covers the top of the Cro Dough but it has also been piped all the way around the inside too
• This coupled with the soft fluffy croissant bread inside and the delicious donut exterior made for one epic mouthful
• Borrowing the best characteristics from the two original pastries and creating one fine mashup indeed
• Needless to say these were incredible lunchtime treats and I would have gladly grabbed a few more for the journey home if they hadn't sold out
• We went there over the weekend the portions of the cronuts we chose were custard one they were big in comparison to the one from cocomaya
• Unfortunately they weren't as crisp but still really nice and appeared to be fresh as well which was brownie points but lacked the wow factor the text felt a bit soggy
• Verdict good place to go if you are in hunt of cronuts deffo a place I would go back 2 but cocomaya still takes over on this one
• Have always supplied the best of Jewish Confectionary and bread in the East End of London
• Is a wonderful family run Bakery where they are always polite and helpful would recommend them to everyone
• Also supply Deli's and some of the big West End shops like Harvey Nichols and Harods with their produce
• Rinkoff Bakery (Whitechapel) is tucked away from the main road but what a treat
• They make something called cronuts which are basically croissant doughnuts
• The filling I was not too fond of but devoured it nonetheless
• If you are in the are and want to grab a cheap sandwich
• Was generously sweet with a great flakey texture
• The caramel latte was also delicious
• I went there to try my first crodough and rainbow bagel with melted marshmallows
• The rainbow bagel with melted marshmallows is a must to lighten up your day
