Before you go

When to go

Weekdays only for this sequence. Music Loves Company’s linked menu begins at 11am; the host lists later weekend opening. Event access and hours can change, so check the date.

Budget and paying

Share one pastry at each bakery and order the tonic individually. Music Loves Company’s menu states a 10% entertainment surcharge; confirm it alongside parking or transport costs.

Self-guided. Timing is an editorial suggestion, not a measured journey. Check kitchen hours and access before going.
