Best Doughnuts in Covent Garden - St John Bakery - London Doughnuts

This is it. The St. John Bakery closed their shop in the Maltby Street Market during the summer which made me very sad. Luckily, they made the deal with Neil’s Yard and opened a shiny new bakery there in September (2018).
I didn’t need an invitation and decided to visit as soon as possible.
St. John Bakery makes European style doughnuts. No hole, dusted in sugar and generously filled with cream or jam. I already tried similar doughnuts made by Bread Ahead Bakery during my visit to the Borough Market. Some of my friends told me that St John doughnuts are even better.
I went for the best seller, the Vanilla Custard Doughnut for £2.8. The doughnut was perfect. Fluffy, chewy and with lots of rich Vanilla flavor. I ended up buying two more.
The Covent Garden area in London was missing some good quality doughnuts for some time and I believe that bringing St John Bakery to the Neil’s Yard will enrich this community greatly.
But were these doughnuts better than ones from Bread Ahead? You will have to watch the video to find out 😎

Had this yesterday and IMO its a hype. We had some from doughnut time and they were better. Plus the lady who served us was miserable.

As far as I know St Johns' doughnuts are the same as Bread Ahead's as the bloke who created them (Justin Gellatly) left St John's to start Bread Ahead.

Thank you for your comment. You are absolutely right. I somehow didn't connect the dots before but I will mention this in my London Doughnuts wrap up video in the future.

I had these donuts (vanilla creme and chocolate creme) from St. John Bakery in Neals Yard two weeks ago. The donuts were bland (two bites and I threw them away) and the employees had an unpleasant / unfriendly attitude. Dunkin Donuts are better, and I hate Dunkin Donuts.

1st thing I ate in London was St John’s bacon sandwich & the doughnut ... something about the charred bread just goes so well with the bacon..the bacon sandwich only available up to 11am
