No. Forty Nine

Founded by the team behind Cinder, No. Forty Nine stands out in St John’s Wood by weaving together bakery, bistro, and wine bar under one roof. By day, shelves brim with pastries such as croissants, pain au chocolat, and cinnamon buns, all baked in-house alongside more unusual treats like pastrami pain suisse and miso butterscotch canelés.

The menu shifts in the evening to a blend of Modern European and American-Mediterranean plates, offering cornbread madeleines, polenta with whipped ricotta, and a baby Guinness sundae. The concept is about covering a swath of cravings from sweet to savoury, while setting up a flexible neighborhood spot for coffee, lunch, or wine-fuelled evenings. The Cinder team’s approach ensures both classic comfort and inventive updates on bakery and bistro expectations.
