Bread Ahead doughnuts

Bread ahead is like the doughnut king at Borough market, you will always find queues at the stall.
It is also a bakery school hence you can expect quality bakery.
Finally gave their doughnuts a try which start at £2 for a plain one where filled ones cost £4.50.
To summarize their doughnuts are well filled with so many indulgent choices like pistachio, Eton mess, honeycomb etc.
I felt that I had to try a plain as well as pistachio and vanilla custard which was a popular choice.
Overall, I enjoyed the plain one the most as it was simple and satisfying, the texture of the doughnut was spot on being soft with a chew and slightly bready.
The filled custard was a bit too rich for me and the pistachio creme lacked pistachio taste.
To summarize I would only reccommend the plain and definitely a bargain for £2 if you compare it to other plain ones which cost more than that at kiosks and other cafes.

Revisited again in late august 2024 because of the new black to school doughnut.
Great to see a notable bakery doing old fashioned back to school jam cream doughnuts in a touristy area so more people can know about it. 
Overall, you get the bread ahead signature fluffy and soft doughnut with jam and a custardy cream.
It was quite nice but the frying oil was a bit strong which you can taste on the doughnut surface.
The custard was not too sweet but a little starchy and the seeds were a little bit annoying.
