Crwst (Cardigan)
Crwst - located in Cardigan - was one of five Welsh bakeries named among the best in the world by La Liste.
The bakery specialises in making everything from scratch including sourdough loaves, brioche doughnuts, and cinnamon swirls, according to the Crwst website.
"The bakery is a busy space where we work diligently to create delicious treats for our Crwstomers to enjoy," the website continues.
"Our breads and sourdough contain only a handful of ingredients: organic Shipton Mill flour, water, salt and organic yeast (in our yeasted breads).
"We use no additives or preservatives to synthetically boost softness or extend shelf-life, we just use the time, discipline and skill creating ‘real’ bread on a daily basis."
It is popular among visitors, boasting a 4.5 out of five rating on Tripadvisor, from 480 reviews (at the time of writing).
It has been described as "amazing", "always fantastic" and "the best".
