Buns From Home Reviews Summary

Flavor Variety

Pros:

• "All flavours are nice." - Reviewer 2
• "I don't have a sweet tooth and loved it so much that I ended up ordering one of each flavour they had at the time." - Reviewer 16
• "They have a GREAT selection of buns so there is one for everyone." - Reviewer 24
• "Tasty buns, there are always different types available." - Reviewer 12
• "Believe the hype- these are SO good. I got the berry cheesecake bun." - Reviewer 9

Cons:

• "Tiramisu bun itself is really good! The cream is very light, not too filling, and it’s not too sweet or an overwhelming dairy taste." - Reviewer 22
• "We were really excited to try some buns from here having seen the mouthwatering photos online." - Reviewer 6
• "Sadly, we didn't find the buns to be as good as the pictures make them out to be. Slightly overdone and cardamom overpowered everything." - Reviewer 7

Quality and Taste

Pros:

• "Best cinnamon buns I've had in London. Crispy on the top, soft and fluffy inside." - Reviewer 3
• "The bun is made with pastry filled with cream cheese and raspberry sauce which taste sweet and creamy but not heavy at all." - Reviewer 1
• "Seeing them prepare the vanilla custard buns was exceptional! The buns were filled with cream and the pastry was meticulously separated in layers." - Reviewer 23

Cons:

• "I only had the bun a day after (after keeping the buns in fridge), so the taste might have degraded." - Reviewer 4
• "They were on the over-crispy, slightly dark and over done side, so they'd lost the softness." - Reviewer 6
• "The cinnamon bun was great however their menu is inconsistent and unclear in terms of what is there and what isn't." - Reviewer 8

Price and Value

Pros:

• "It's a bit pricey at £3.50 for one. But still worth trying." - Reviewer 3
• "So much filling, and it’s so big- honestly such a good price for what you get!" - Reviewer 9
• "But the quality is very good and price is reasonable." - Reviewer 10

Cons:

• "£10.50 for three buns might be considered poor value for money given the Buns from Home are small." - Reviewer 32
• "One custard bun was £4.50 which is incredibly expensive for one bun alone." - Reviewer 57
• "I don’t understand the type of limited quantities of cinnamon rolls because they always run out." - Reviewer 21

Service and Staff
