Yep, it's due to be a bakery and patisserie style place. Why I'm telling you this when it's on doorstep is slightly mystifying to me.
But is it going to be a Portuguese bakery?
And will it be a proper bakery, i.e. will it bake on the premises?

It's showing on my computer
Anyway, it is red and green with a bit of yellow, and white.

Not on mine. Oh right, I missed the white as well

I've read this 8 times and I don't know what you mean.

It's Portuguese, unless they're using that language for a little bit of a lark. Why do I know this rather than you? I only go past on the bus every blue moon, but you live a couple of minutes walk away.
I suspect that the word 'walk' may be the problem to MtM.
I don't go that way unless I'm going to the chemist to pick up meds or to the barber's so not been up there for a few weeks. Going to chemist today though

Add the word 'your' between 'on' and 'doorstep' and it should miraculously make sense. Albeit that if you couldn't work that out by yourself I'm not altogether confident

No idea if it's baking on the premises. I'd suspect it's easier to bring in stuff from Portuguese bakeries nearby or part bake. There again they could be aiming to supply some of the local places.
(There's a limit to how much you can tell by reading the signs on the way past y'know)

Maybe he's wondering why you don't regularly pass it on your way to the pub
I have now worked out he meant on our doorstep.
I don't regularly go to any pub, let alone any on NPR. I think he's just trying to wind us up, childishly.

Yeah, I do regularly see Portuguese delivery vans supplying shops so let's hope they're not just a supplier to other businesses

Excuse ME, but I think I already stated that I had seen mosaic tiled columns and therefore concluded it would be something to do with food, and that was weeks ago
So up yours matey

And I'd already said that I'd seen the signs in the window saying 'bakery'

yes, but I saw the mosaic columns weeks ago, well before the sign saying "bakery" was up

You lot don't deserve a bakery. Especially one of them foreign ones with signs you can't understand.
I've not been past there for weeks to see any signs
Greggs is actually remarkably better than some other chains though. I went in a Bakers' Oven in Pollards Hill to buy some bread and they didn't sell any. They basically only sold part baked pasties,sausage rolls and iced buns. They made Greggs look upmarket.

Y'see. Not as though you're going to be a great customer, is it?
(((Bakery)))
I like Greggs. Their mince pies are fantastic - loads better than the supermarket ones. And their stodgy bread and butter pudding is good comfort food.
But a Portuguese bakery would be even better!

I definitely will be if it has decent bread
Actually, I go up there more than the chemists and barbers as I go to the Sainsbury's as well
Crap bread in Sainsbury's.

Nell's Deli (Spoon) in New Park Road sells bread too, I don't know if you've checked that out?

I have, but b/f considers it "posh" bread
I'd eat it, but the time we went in, there wasn't any plain white. He doesn't like bread with seeds and stuff

A Scouse mate recently came to the pub in a foul mood after his gf served him 'poncy bread for rabbits' for breakfast rather than his usual white smeg loaf. He genuinely was quite outraged and put out.

I totally agree. I do go to BWF, but bloody hell they could be a bit less miserable in there. Everyone I know complains about it. It's funny, because I feel that it doesn't really go with their ethos. Shouldn't hippies by happy?
The people in A&C Continental are lovely on the other hand. I nearly fainted outside there once on a very hot day (the first time this has ever happened to me) and they insisted I sad down on a stool by the fan and gave me a bottle of Lucozade. Can't see that happening in Brixton Wholefoods.

I know, and I can't get through a whole loaf on my own
Cut it in half and put half in the freezer. Or even better get it sliced and put it all in the freezer.

I've looked every time I've passed it and asked in the shop next door. I haven't been past during the day. When I have been past there have been no signs, in English or otherwise. The biggest clue I've had is a flag, which I correctly identified as Portuguese.
So there.
It hasn't opened yet. But it will be in the old bookies shop on the corner of New Park Road and Brixton Hill.
