How to choose a panettone bakery

  1. Ask about whole-cake orderingIf you need a celebration cake rather than one pastry, confirm the required lead time, available sizes and whether pickup is takeout only.
  2. Check what is ready todayFor a last-minute visit, ask whether the desired cake or pastry is available in-store or needs to be pre-ordered.
  3. Compare the pastry styleDecide whether you want classic French baking, inventive scones, canelé with flavour variations, layered cakes or whole-grain loaves alongside dessert.
  4. Verify dietary suitabilityAsk which specific slices or pastries are gluten-free, plant-based or gluten-friendly rather than assuming the whole menu meets the requirement.
  5. Match the setting to the visitChoose a café with seating and drinks for a longer stop, or a counter-led bakery when takeaway, pickup or a quick pastry run matters most.
