Whether you take yours classic and pillowy, spiked with Earl Grey, loaded with bacon and egg, or sandwiched around a malted milk semifreddo, hot cross bun season has never looked quite like this. From a 15th-century bakery in Suffolk to a Parisian coffee shop in the 19th arrondissement, a Camberwell high street to the inner-north of Melbourne - this is our definitive guide to the most interesting buns worth tracking down this Easter.

Where to Get the Best Hot Cross Buns

Just after ten on Portobello Road, before the crowds compress and the silver starts to dazzle in earnest, Ascha Lychett Pedersen (@poufcph) begins her ritual. Sourcing for Pouf is a solitary pursuit, part discipline, part instinct - guided by a wish list but open to surprise. Among trays, teapots and velvet-lined cutlery boxes, the thrill lies in spotting the piece that insists. From silver trays to playful shell dishes, this is a morning of restraint, revelation and the quiet art of knowing when to walk away.

All That Glitters: A Morning at Portobello Road

Dan Jamieson makes work that gets read, re-read, and quietly lodged in your brain. His cult Hate Plates have built a following on the kind of dry, knowing humour that feels like it was written just for you - and his screen prints carry that same energy at a grander scale. We sat down with Dan - whose work you can find on Glassette, including in our Art Kiosk collection - to talk about why bold art anchors a room rather than overwhelming it, where his best phrases come from, and why he thinks safe choices are usually the ones you'll regret most. Funny, frank, and surprisingly freeing if you've ever stood in front of a blank wall and talked yourself out of something you loved.
