pearl & grove

We love a good bakery, even more so when it is completely free - free that is from gluten, sugar and dairy. So we are full of admiration for Pearl & Grove and their new store on Portobello Road. Naming her shop after her parents - well their nicknames at least, Serena Whitefield started her business in 2013 selling at markets, events and local festivals and offering made-to-offer for celebrations before opening her store this month. We just love the groove range  - all flourless and in flavours like earl grey tea, rose and pistachio and dark chocolate and stem ginger. For those of you wanting to go sugar-free as well as gluten-free, then opt for one of the pearl cakes that come in flavours like banana and pomegranate, creamy coconut and blackberry and apple.  Open seven days a week. 341 Portobello Road, W10 5SA
