Expanding the London tab with three more bakeries! Village Harvest is a simple bakery located in the small, pretty quaint commercial area along Wortley Rd. One of two bakeries, in fact. The selection is fairly home-style, reminiscent of small-town or well-established bakeries anywhere, with a focus on cookies, squares, and pies. There isn't too much of anything available, but the classics were there.
Among which was the date square... perhaps it would be more accurate to call it a date slab? This looked like an entire quarter of the pan, with corner intact. Without a doubt, this was a generous portion! Biting into this, my first observation was that it was pretty doughy, with a dense, flavourful thick bottom and similarly sized crumble topping. In between, a chewy, not-too sweet date filling. I personally thought that the top needed a little more variation, maybe a little less dough on the bottom would have also helped? My favourite date squares are the ones that have almost a granola topping, with chunky oats. This one, though pretty good, needed a little more texture.
