And just like that, the slow summer mornings are over.
September means alarms are back on, school bags are by the door, traffic is somehow everywhere again and the morning coffee has gone from nice to have to absolutely essential.
Breakfast, on the other hand? That’s usually the first thing to disappear when you’re trying to get everyone — including yourself — out of the house on time.
So we’re making mornings easy.
Whether you’ve got two minutes to grab something on the way to work, you’re absolutely starving by 8am, or you just need a hot coffee and something sweet before you’re ready to speak to another human being, there’s a Bakery79 breakfast with your name on it.
Here’s what we’re picking for every kind of September morning.
What kind of morning are you having
The “I’m already late” morning
Alarm snoozed one too many times? Couldn’t find the keys? Someone remembered their PE kit approximately thirty seconds before you needed to leave?
We’ve all been there.
This is an All Butter Croissant and Americano kind of morning. Buttery, flaky, easy to grab and, most importantly, no cutlery required. Coffee in one hand, croissant in the other, and suddenly things are looking slightly more manageable.
And because September doesn’t always get the memo that summer is over, you can always swap the hot coffee for an iced one when the sun decides to make a comeback. If you’re caught between the two, our iced coffee vs hot coffee guide might settle the morning’s most important debate.
The “lunch is HOURS away” morning
There’s hungry, and then there’s I’ve been awake for an hour and I’m already thinking about lunch hungry.
For mornings like those, a pastry isn’t always going to cut it. This is where the Breakfast Baps come in.
Keep things classic with a Bacon Bap, or call in reinforcements with a Sausage & Bacon Bap. Add a Flat White and you’ve got the kind of breakfast that makes the gap between 8am and lunchtime feel a little less ambitious.
Still hungry? Go bigger with a Breakfast Bowl, or choose the Veggie Breakfast Bowl for a meat-free option.
Because nobody needs to be checking the clock at 10:47 wondering whether it’s socially acceptable to eat lunch yet.
The first-chilly-morning-of-September breakfast
You know the one.
You leave the house expecting summer, immediately regret not bringing a jacket and spend the first five minutes in the car waiting for the windscreen to clear.
Suddenly, the cold breakfast and iced drinks you’ve been reaching for all summer aren’t quite calling your name.
That’s when we’re reaching for PORiJ.
Choose from Vanilla, Maple Syrup or Apple & Cinnamon and pair it with your favourite hot coffee — a Latte is our pick when the mornings start getting cooler.
Apple & Cinnamon when it’s grey outside?
That’s basically September in breakfast form.
And there’s something particularly satisfying about starting a chilly morning with something warm before the emails, school runs, traffic and to-do lists have properly begun.
The “going meat-free” morning
Going meat-free doesn’t mean breakfast has to become an afterthought.
Our Veggie Sausage Baguette gives you a proper savoury start without the meat. Pair it with a Green Tea if you’re after something a little different from your usual morning coffee.
Simple. Filling. Morning sorted.
The “I deserve a treat” morning
Not every breakfast needs to be sensible.
Maybe you’ve survived the school run. Maybe your inbox already has 37 unread emails. Maybe it’s Tuesday.
All perfectly valid reasons.
Go for a Pain au Chocolat and a Mocha — chocolate with more chocolate, because some mornings call for commitment.
And if this is very much your breakfast philosophy, we’ve got a whole guide to the best sweet treats to enjoy with coffee when you need a little more pairing inspiration.
Make your back-to-routine mornings easier
September mornings have enough decisions in them already.
What time do we need to leave? Where are the keys? Has everyone got everything? Why is there suddenly traffic on every road?
Breakfast doesn’t need to become another one.
Having a couple of go-to orders makes the weekday rush much easier. Keep a croissant-and-coffee combination in mind for the mornings when you’re flying out of the door, a bap or Breakfast Bowl for the days when you know you need something more substantial, and PORiJ for those first chilly starts.
And, naturally, keep the Pain au Chocolat option available for emergencies.
Once you’ve found your morning favourite, that’s one less decision standing between you and your first coffee.
Order ahead and make the morning rush a little easier
Some mornings genuinely don’t have another five minutes hiding in them.
That’s where the Bakery79 app comes in. Order ahead for collection and your breakfast and coffee can fit around the morning rather than the other way round.
It’s handy when you’re heading straight to work, squeezing breakfast in after the school run, getting on the road early or staring down the first meeting of the day.
Because “I’ll just get something later” has a suspicious habit of turning into lunchtime.
Find your nearest Bakery79
The best morning routine is the one you’ll actually stick to — preferably one involving good coffee.
Whether Bakery79 becomes the stop between the school run and work, your coffee before getting on the road or the place everyone volunteers to visit when it’s their turn to do the office breakfast run, work out which store fits into your morning.
Use our Bakery79 locations page to find your nearest store and make breakfast part of the route rather than another thing you need to plan.
Then all that’s left is deciding what kind of morning it is.
Croissant-and-run?
Proper-breakfast hungry?
PORiJ-and-a-hot-latte weather?
Or a Pain au Chocolat because you’ve made it to Wednesday?
We’ll see you in the morning.
