La Baguette have been serving baguettes with fillings in Abingdon for over twenty years. The shop first appeared about 1996 between Supa-Snaps and Stroll’in.
La Baguette was a trend setter and has done well as an independent business in Abingdon and built up a dedicated following.
To those customer there is a final thank you note in a window pane.
In 2018, La Baguette have Costa and R&R, not far away either side of them. Then either side of them are Pablo Lounge and Java & CO. All of them are also catering businesses with much larger premises, and far more seats.
The Market Place in Abingdon has become a cafe culture. La Baguette led the way.
It is a shame. The coffee shops were not a threat as they provide a different sort of refreshment. I can only think that the owners decided to call it day.
I heard ill health, was why decision was made.
It’s a shame, with Throwing Buns and R&R close-by and 2 Costa Coffee stores in close proximity something had to give.
Will be interesting to see what takes over the space. I only hope the Unit isn’t taken on by another opticians.
