The tiny Welsh bakery with customers queueing down the street

The tiny Welsh bakery with customers queueing down the street

Published by Sam Flores

On a cold Saturday morning in mid-February you’d be forgiven for thinking everyone had lost their minds as a queue snaked around a city street with eager customers. You might be even more surprised to know the huge queues at Whitchurch Road in Cardiff on Saturday were for pastries. But not any old pastries, we were reliably told when we visited Astrid’s Petite Cuisine on Saturday morning. One customer says she got here at 8am to make sure she got her hands on the goods. “I think we got here at eight originally,” Eliza, one of the many queueing, said. “We went to get coffee because no one else was here, but we queued up because, honestly, we’ve never tasted a better pastry.” A seemingly never-ending queue continued throughout the morning for Astrid Roussel’s monthly pop-up shop despite almost freezing temperatures, and it isn’t the first time it’s happened. At her previous pop-up her pastries sold out in less than an hour. For the latest restaurant news and reviews, sign up to our food and …

In six months during the pandemic, Michael lost over 50 pounds. He developed an inability to properly digest food, which then, even after medical treatment, evolved into extreme cibophobia — an intense fear of food. “The constant eating [of] food and then becoming ill made me develop a very serious, life-threatening fear of food itself,” Michael explained. “So if someone put food in front of me, if I was to go out to a restaurant, which was very rare, I would have instant panic attacks.” Michael began carrying a bottle of Pepto-Bismol everywhere, fearing …
