The 50 best cake shops and cake bakeries in London

Ordered with about 2 weeks notice to be delivered to Nottingham, I received a second confirmation a few days before and then again the day before! We had the passionfruit and pistachio and it was amazing! It was a very soft sponge and lots of flavour, not at all sickly. People compliment it and wanted to know where we'd got it. Really made the day special and it arrived extremely well packaged, not a scuff on the cake. Thank you for the great experience 👍

I discovered this bakery online and decided to order a birthday cake. The delivery was on time and the cake was delivered in perfect condition, despite the weather being over 35 Celsius! Clearly the delivery staff do their job carefully and the packaging did an amazing job protecting the cake too. I ordered a raspberry ripple cake and it looked fabulous and tasted delicious. The flavours were carefully balanced and you could taste the freshness of the ingredients. Overall, this was a very positive experience and I would highly recommend this bakery for fresh and exquisite cakes.

We had the pleasure of taking Mrs Patmore’s afternoon tea at the store this afternoon. We were seated downstairs and felt very much like we were on set. We were served by the lovely and attentive Omema and Fatima the store manager was really warm and friendly. We felt very welcome and the cakes and scones were delicious. The double chocolate caramel in particular was exceptional and the fruit scone was light and fluffy - went very well with clotted cream and gooseberry jam. Generous servings and spread. A wonderful way to spend Sunday afternoon. Many thanks to the team!

We came to Cutter & Squidge for afternoon tea and had a lovely time! The place is charming and the food was delicious, both the traditional and vegan versions. It was a hearty meal so we took the cakes away for later. The service was perfect, everyone was lovely to us! 💖

We had been invited to a Downtown Abbey themed tea at this very cool bakery/cafe. We were led downstairs where the room was transformed into Mrs Patmore’s kitchen. Literally the upstairs/downstairs lives of DA! The decorations were amazing. The spread was lovely and delicious. Fatima was friendly and welcoming. Have us various cake options along with the scones and sandwiches. Omema was providing very attentive table service. She patiently explained the various sweet treats and made the occasion very special - especially when we were celebrating our 29th wedding anniversary. Amazing experience! Give it a go and see how the other half lived!

Have not visited the restaurant, however, we ordered our wedding cake from Cutter & Squidge in June 2025. The cake was delivered without issues, customer service was great and the cake itself was absolutely delicious. The chosen flavours were Double Choc Salted Caramel and Raspberry - perfect for a summer wedding!

Ordered cake delivery online after let down by M&S and their cyber issue. What a blessing in disguise. I can’t fault the service. Delivered on time and well packaged. Chocolate fudge cake was delicious and everyone commented on how moist and tasty it was. Wouldn’t hesitate to recommend and can’t wait to order again in the future. My new go to cake place!

This place is quite famous and happens to be close to my office. Really lovely environment with both indoor and outdoor seating — you can choose whatever you feel like! Their pastries are exceptional and huge! This is exactly what we all look for when it comes to delicious pastries, isn’t it? This is my second visit, and after checking the reviews, I decided to try the Bacon & Maple one since it seemed quite popular — and yes, it was absolutely delicious! The pastry was crispy yet moist from the maple syrup, not too sweet, and perfectly balanced with the bacon, which wasn’t too salty either. The sweet-and-savoury combo just made me keep eating! The croissant was also really good — fluffy and buttery — and the flan had a unique flavour, maybe dark sugar or malt? They also offer unlimited water, which is great for people like me who don’t drink coffee or tea. Definitely recommended, and I’ll be back again soon!

The place has a really nice vibe and the service was very good. The highlight of the visit was definitely the pastry. We had the maple and bacon swirl and it was out of this world! The best pastry I’ve ever had. Definitely recommend getting it warmed up as well. The coffee was also very good. Will definitely come back :)

Great on a sunny day as there is lots of outdoor seating. We ordered the sweetcorn chowder which was served super hot with tangy fresh sourdough, the bacon maple swirl, this was nice but was expensive! My almond croissant was well filled and not too sweet but a little over cooked. For two coffees and the food it cost £27. We came on a Friday to a full cafe but we could get a table straight away.

Highly recommend Pophams! I came here on my travels looking to try pastries in the UK and this was definitely the top place. We had the maple and bacon pastry. Was delicious, temperature was perfect, and was baked so well. Service was very friendly and really enjoyed the atmosphere as it was a chill and relaxing vibe. I also really liked how their menu showed which were vegan, and had nuts in it.

Long queue on a Sunday brunch - same queue regardless of takeaway or dine in. Found a nice spot facing out, ordered the yoghurt with granola and portion was quite small for the price. Yoghurt also had a strange cream texture, still good. The classic parmesan twist was crispy and savoury. Cardamom bun was perfectly crispy with the savoury cinnamon flavor.

The best pastries I’ve ever had in my life and this is not an exaggeration. The maple and bacon bun is so interesting and full of flavour, the coffee is incredible and I’ve come back to have the cardamom bun again and to share it with my mom and she loved it to. The lamination, the caramelised outside of the pastry, the butteriness, the salt levels and the rich cardamom flavour. It’s just perfect. Their coffee was also incredible. Would give it 1000/5 if I could. Will come back again, 100%.

Lovely bakery with loads of outdoor seating on a peaceful street with a beautiful homegoods and pantry store next to the bakery. Highly recommend ham and cheese croissant and the cardamom bun. Bottled green juice was also excellent.

Their dough is very good - light and fluffy - and are packed with filling. However, was disappointed with the lack of flavour in the blackcurrant - there was no blackcurrant jam on the inside, only the bit of jam dribbled on the outside, and the cheesecake filling didn't taste like anything at all, not even vanilla. Service was also a bit rude/dismissive. There are far better doughnut spots elsewhere - would not recommend going out of your way for this one - did not live up to the hype at all getting a flavourless doughnut.

Must try doughnuts when you are I. Borough market, if you go on the weekend it’s worth going through the crowds of borough market and the queue goes very quickly. The crème Brûlée is my favourite. In addition they do amazing savoury snacks also. There big pizza slices are great for a lunch bite or a snack. The olive and cheese stick is so good and you can’t beat their sourdough bread to take away. To make it even better they offer courses to learn how to make most of the items they sell. The pizza course and sourdough classes are great and you learn so much and get to eat as you go, normally with a baked good treat as a bonus.

Tried Bread Ahead and loved the donuts! I had the pistachio and crème brûlée — both really good, not too sweet, and the dough isn’t greasy at all. They are pricey at £4.50 each, so definitely more of an occasional treat. The only downside is the long queue, and the stall is on a messy street with construction going on. The staff seemed a bit checked out, but it was a super busy day so understandable. Overall, a great snack stop in Borough Market!

The smell that filled the street and the wonderful cream and dough that came out when you put it in your mouth made it a fantastic experience. They have lots of affordable products you can eat on the go. We chose the vanilla one, and it was quite delicious.

A Dessert Worth Trying at Borough Market This is one of the desserts worth trying when you visit Borough Market. We tried two classic crème brûlées. The sugar on top was a bit too much, but the custard inside was delicious and helped balance the sweetness. Overall, a dessert worth trying. We paid £4.5 per piece.

Donuts never fail - Fluffy and fresh. Would recommend if you’ve a sweet tooth. If not, go for the focaccia. Crispy on the outside, chewy in the inside. At 4-7 pounds per piece, it is VERY worth it.

Was following on Instagram for years and finally made it. This place is a haven for foodies. I tried the famous donuts but need to return for the bread. Totally recommend 👌🏼

Lovely cake shop with amazing chocolate cupcakes — rich, moist, and full of flavor! They also offer a great variety of other sweet treats and good coffee to go with it. Cozy atmosphere and friendly staff make it a perfect spot for a quick break or a sweet indulgence.

"when are we going to Violet" is the first planning step every time I have a trip to London planned. Claire's cookbooks are the most heavily used in my rotation at home, and inspire a lot of my own baking. My partner and I usually grab an assortment of desserts to share when here and sit on their little patio watching the world go by and tasting everything: cupcakes that are moist and topped with creative and full bodied icings, chewy and spiced cookies, mini pumpkin pies if they're in season: a little bit of everything. Nothing is too sweet and everything is big on flavor and texture. This most recent visit we tried the avocado and ham toasts which came on perfectly crusty sourdough with a runny egg and those were also a delight. Their coffee and matcha never disappoints either. My only regret is not living in London and not being able to go more often.

I enjoyed the strawberry cupcake at Violet but what was suggested (the scone with apricot was not good and expensive!). The filling just tasted like butter and the dough was mediocre. The service was weird too… the server got angry because I didn’t leave tip. It’s a bakery!

I entered this bakery thinking it would be a cute local spot. However, on entering, we did not feel very welcomed. We were greeted with nothing more than a mere half-hearted smile. The prices were on the high side, £17.10 for two cookies and 2 small drinks. The cookies were hard and dry. Whilst the hot chocolate was good, the matcha was lukewarm with clumps of matcha powder at the bottom. I would not recommend due to the poor service and lack of quality. Disappointing.

Ordered the chocolate buttercream cake for a birthday and it was so so good. The chocolate flavour was so rich in both the cake and cream - it was almost like a brownie cake. Super delicious and recommended!

I absolutely devoured the matcha blondie. I even started questioning myself if this was even real and how i was able to reach this level of satisfaction in life lmao 😭😭 love the place and the employees! Very cosy and highly recommend this place

The tahini brownie and cupcake cake were delicious, however the cupcake icing wasn’t as flavourful as I expected (was pleasantly not too sweet though). The service was wonderful, definitely worth a visit!

First visit had the polenta ricotta squash olive oil with sourdough dish. Very tasty. Nice flavour coffee. Seating outside. Sourdough available to buy too a nice place to try !

First time coming here and loved the space. Great selection of bread and cakes as well as drinks. I ordered a BLT and a slice of their danish which tasted great! They have outdoor and indoor seating. I had a lovely time catching up with a friend here for a few hours, staff were very attentive and quick to clear up empty plates. Laptop friendly environment, would definitely love to come back on my own and do some work.

This is one of east London's most popular artisan bakeries, located right next to the entrance of London Fields train station. There is only a small sign to let people know that it's there. But once inside, it's like doctor who's TARDIS, bigger on the inside! I paid a visit early on Saturday morning, and it was bustling. Despite being located only a 5-minute walk from Broadway market I would think that this place gets very busy about Saturday lunchtime to afternoon. This place also roasts it own coffee, hence my interest. Prices are par for the course for an artisan bakery in London. I had a pain au chocolate and a flat white, both were excellent. Competition for artisan coffee in this part of London is tough, it has to be good and it most certainly is. Recommended by myself.

Loved the feel of the place and how it has a mini market. Very spacious and clean bathrooms if i may add. Delicious coffee didn't like the cookie they braged about, was kinda dry for me. Will definitely try other things if I ever was in the area again

Holy cow this was good!! I had the fried egg & halloumi bun, as well as a corn madeline/scone thing. The bun was yummm — super tasty bread with just the right balance of sweet/savoury/umami. I had the corn snack a little later and it really threw me off: moist inside but with a satisfying crust. Would 100% return, this time with an empty stomach and some grocery bags.

Excellent place where they make their own bread starting from the wheat with a mini mill, we ordered sandwiches and soups, there was a lot of space outside.

Dog friendly cafe! You can bring your laptop but I don’t think you can stay long. It was kinda busy, as it’s a well known place x

Lovely! It does get very crowded with the flower market. We had the scone (was even warm) and the brownie (salty). Both were delicious. The service was a bit slow though, but friendly.

I love cake and stopped by Lili Vanilli based on the strong reviews. There were a few options available (most with a cherry theme), I went with the chocolate cherry cake. The cake itself had a nice chocolate flavour, and the buttercream was smooth and generously applied. It tasted like a North American-style cake - the sponge had a tender and moist crumb, fluffier. That said, I was hoping for more cherry presence. Aside from two cherry halves in the filling, there wasn’t much cherry flavour overall and ended up tasting mostly like a chocolate cake. It was served at room temperature, but I think this style of cake might benefit from being slightly chilled. At room temp, the fats in the cake and icing were more noticeable in taste and texture. Located off of Columbia Rd, in a mini alley / courtyard. There is outdoor seating. Lovely on a quiet Saturday afternoon.

The cakes at Lily's place are the very best! We never go anywhere else for our celebration cakes and she even done our wedding cake! The decor & the taste are equally as stunning 🤩 Highly recommend for a showstopper cake!!

Absolute best sweet treats in London, set in the cutest courtyard off the flower market. We also did Lily's cake decorating class, where she shared so many expert tips and tricks with such a fun approach! Such a fabulous night, thank you Lily 💛

I ordered a Lily Vanilly sprinkles cake - black, with cherries on top - for a photoshoot and birthday party. It was ready on time for pick-up, and tasted as amazing as it looked. My guests are now addicted! Big fan of Lily Vanilli’s - their afternoon tea at the Four Seasons hotel in London is also awesome!

Thank you so much for the lovely cake, we really enjoyed it. And my friend they really love the cake as well. Pick their’s cake, Hope more and more people can enjoy your birthday!

We got a last minute wonderful Mille Feuille Wedding Cake for our wedding party. The team set it up directly in the venue and it looked marvelous. Everybody loved it and it tasted delicious. Perfect communication with the team as well, exactly what you need when hosting a big wedding. Highly recommend!

We went for my birthday while visiting London. It was some of the best tea I have had. We loved the decorations in there and how cute it was. Every detail was thought out. They were allergy friendly and had a variety to chose form. The tea was bottomless and it was so delicious. It was so nice to be able to try different teas. The only downside is that it is very small in here so you felt like you were right on top of the people next to you. We made reservations ahead of time and I am so glad we did because if not the line was extremely long. I would highly recommend! Our server even put a candle on my finger foods for my birthday!

We reserved for a morning breakfast tea and it was nice actually all the pastries served was nice however the yogurt granola given was too sour that we couldnt eat all ..then that maybe can be amended .however, overall was all nice. Staff are hospitable they even offer to take photos for memories. Thank u so much

I’m coming this place because is really pretty! I’m from Miami and I love the pink place! Coming this morning, Friday 10 am the place have people but no to much… We take the table outside the lady tell m I can go any table available. She comes for the drinks and take some time to come again for the food, also I need to ask somebody to take my order for the food… because she never come back again, is not to much friendly. For the food We ask for 2 lates to much stronger I ask for more milk and still was impossible, I left all 2 coffee and nobody ask me for the drinks or the coffee are ok… The food the avocado toast was a lot of avocado but didn’t taste to anything. I ask for the egg on the side and scramble… but then give me a poche scramble discussing. The rest was ok but nothing special. I try to go inside to take a look for the place but the same lady to take the order said I need to wait outside I can’t go inside 🥴 Really he didn’t like to have a customer service! But then they charge you 12% for service charge and didn’t go to the server You have a lot of place with better food price and customer service! The best you can do! Take a picture in the door and go to take a breakfast in the other corner!

I visited Peggy Porschen Belgravia Ltd in June and had a wonderful experience. We ordered pancakes and coffee, and both were absolutely delicious. The café itself is stunning with beautiful decor that creates a lovely atmosphere. The waiter was exceptionally kind and attentive—he even offered to take a photo of us at the entrance when he noticed we were struggling to take one ourselves. His friendly and warm interaction with my children made the visit even more special. Highly recommend this place

Peggy Porschen Cakes in Belgravia, London, is a must visit. This is the most charming bakery café I've ever visited. Not only is it the most charming atmosphere with stunning outdoor installations for every season, the food is excellent and the bakery items are simply delectable! Do not miss this darling bakery on your next trip to London, England!

The atmosphere is lovely and the place looks super Instagrammable, really pretty inside. We managed to get a table as walk-ins on a Saturday which was great. But WARNING: unfortunately the food was terrible. The avocado salmon sandwich had avocado that was clearly off, the eggs Benedict were extremely salty, and the lavender and rose lattes were sickeningly sweet. The cupcakes tasted really artificial too. Honestly, it feels like you only pay for the photos and nothing else. We’ve never eaten anywhere where both food and drinks were this bad. Paid £70 for two “mains”, coffees and two cupcakes. The staff didn’t even ask if the food was tasty or if everything was ok – probably because they already knew.

We visited Peggy Porschen during a short London stay. Super friendly staff, great atmosphere. We loved the cake. It tastes as gorgeous as it looks. Also the breakfast was awesome! If you are around in London and are in search of a piece of cake, a clear go-to place.

Stopped here somewhat recently on a whim. Super busy! They have a really great selection available - We both had one of the beignets, which were very tasty but I think they could've been a bit more generous with the toppings for the price, service was quick and friendly, will definitely be back again if we're in the area.

Fortitude Bakery is such a gem. Everything here tastes like it’s made with real love and quality ingredients. The pastries are flaky and fresh, but what really surprised me were the sandwiches — especially the chicken harissa. It’s bursting with flavor and perfectly balanced. You can taste the freshness in every bite, and the staff is genuinely friendly and welcoming. The atmosphere makes it easy to linger over coffee or lunch. Definitely a must-visit when you’re in town.

I recently visited this bakery and was genuinely impressed by several of their pastries and drinks. I highly recommend the Hazelnut & Chocolate Custard pan suisse, which is rich, flaky, and layered with a perfect balance of nutty sweetness and silky chocolate. The Cinnamon & Stick Bun is another standout—warm, aromatic, and wonderfully comforting without being overly sweet. My favorite pastry might have been the Baked Plum Danish with Orange Custard Hazelnut crumb; the tart plum, bright citrus custard, and subtle hazelnut come together beautifully for a pastry that’s both unique and incredibly flavorful. However, the Blackberry Cinnamon Cream Beignet was a miss for me. The flavor combination didn’t come together well, and it was much too creamy, to the point where I couldn’t finish it. On the drink side, you should definitely try the Apple Matcha Latte. It’s absolutely delicious—refreshing, balanced, and surprisingly harmonious. I also tried the Chicken Harissa Baguette, which was flavorful and satisfying, making it a solid savory option worth ordering. Steaming outside only though

Holy guacamole the chocolate hazelnut pan suisse is soooo decadent- super crispy shell, bitter cocoa powder paired with hazelnuts inside makes an insane combo. Sooo yummy!! The flat white is also pretty good, more on the acidic side!

Hidden away in a quiet passage, this little shop quickly became a favourite of mine. The staff are incredibly friendly and I loved the impressive range of pastries, with choices for both sweet and savoury moods. The first time I visited, I chose a feta and spinach pastry alongside a cinnamon bun — both were absolutely delicious. The experience was so enjoyable that I returned the next day and got a morning bun, which pleasantly surprised me with its subtle sweetness and light texture. I also tried two different coffees on my visits, and both were excellent — Very rich and the ideal companion to my pastries.

I was worried it would be overhyped but our pastries really were very tasty. They were also massive, so value for money here is actually quite good. The berry trifle danish was spectacular - so much going on but it somehow all worked. The lemon thyme polenta cake may have been slightly less exciting but it was still pretty delicious, with a moist crumb and perfectly chewy crust. The only thing I'd say is the thyme flavour could have slightly stronger and the buttercream less sweet (the dominant flavour was sugar). We turned up half an hour before closing and they still had a decent selection of things.

We had a Mocha Cream and Cherry Beignet. The buns were fresh and cream nice and fluffy. Not too - just the right amount. Really enjoyed it and will return. The seating outside is convenient and much needed. Definitely have the beignets, I will try other things next time.

Fantastic bakery! Had the green bean, tomato and whipped feta sarnie which was delicious. The fruit pastry was also brilliant. Due to its popularity it does sell out early of certain products which is the only down side

A bakery in what is basically a service yard never felt so good. I went there for breakfast, and at 8am it was alive with staff making such delicious baked goods. I had a Feta, Honey & Fennel Seed Swirl, which was amazing! Don’t go to Pret, go here. You will not be disappointed!

Really liked this place - very good croissant and excellent sandwiches. I got a pork sandwich, it was Asian style so came was full of interesting flavours and the pickled carrots etc balanced the pork nicely. I would say the sandwich is on the expensive side compared to other places which is why I didn’t rate it 5 stars

Best sandwich I’ve ever had! If you want the focaccia sandwiches then you need to come at 11:30! The till doesn’t take payments for the order unless it is exactly 11:30 and after. Takeaway orders are collected outside of the shop. Although I’m not a big fan of coronation chicken, but they’ve done very well at combining different ingredients, crunchy nuts, herbs, green apple slices, not to mention the airy and flavourful sour dough potato bread, I can see why people queue up here for food. The only downside to me is that the place gets so busy and it can be crowded. Also as a first time visitor, there’s not much guidance on what to do, you just sort of figure it out. The location for me was a little hard to find, you walk down the alleyway and it is the shop to your right, the name of the shop wasn’t visible unless you step opposite the shop.

After being recommended this bakery I was eager to visit and it didn't disappoint. Maybe one of the largest bakeries you'll ever visit, hidden down the end of a back lane with extensive outdoor seating it's a great spot for brunch or lunch on the weekend just be prepared to que. I visited on a Saturday and waited no more than a couple of minutes and tried two of my favourite UK stallwards the Morning Roll (chai spiced sugar dusted cruffin) and the go-to Honey and Feta swirl which was laden with sesame and poppy seeds and was absolutely banging! All their pastries and bread looked top tier. Flaky lamination and a deep caramel crust on all their sourdough (just the way I like it!) The breakfast sando looked unreal, and is clearly a top seller for good reason. I look forward to my next visit to try the rest! Keep up the good work team! 🤘

Unbeatable breads, amazing sandwiches, and really creative options! The queue this past July 6th weekend was wild, but worth it! We waited in the queue about 20 minutes until we ordered, but there were plenty of tables and we were able to sit 4 of us at a table inside. Despite the crowds, service was so fast! Our sandwiches + drinks arrived within 8-10 minutes of ordering and were of course, the best in London. It’s the first time I’ve seen it this busy, but even with the queue, these baked goods are always worth it.

I had very high expectations because this place is recommended to me by a lot of people as “the best bakery in London”. It is very solid but there are many others similar to this, and much better ones for creative pastries

Alternative, different, quality, attention to detail, good care of the customer. This bakery has all the good things one wants when going to fetch for comfort and a treat. Has some small tables outside. The savoury pastries were unique and so tasty! Please do not advertise this place anymore! Keep it for the locals, keep it authentic!

Toad Bakery is one of my favourite bakeries in London! There is always a vast selection of bakes on offer. Including a classic line up of croissants, chocolatine, cardamom buns and freshly baked sourdough. Their double chocolate cookie is honestly, pretty perfect. The apple and blackberry custard danish is a match made in heaven. The black sesame and white chocolate pain suisse has an interesting flavour profile, which we all enjoyed. And their cinnamon swirl with maple cream cheese is for sure one of the best swirls we’ve had, super soft and sweet. With an iced, creamy, chocolate milk, to wash it all down! I’d definitely recommend visiting with a friend or two, choosing a selection of bakes and sharing amongst yourselves — as you’ll get to taste more of their offerings without it feeling overindulgent. If you think you can go further, definitely check out their next-door neighbours Café Mondo, for a delicious sandwich. Just a short walk down the road, is Lala Books, where you could pick your latest read. And further ahead, there’s Dash The Henge record store, where you mind find your new favourite band. South London Forever!

This was a very nice pastry, and to be honest they seemed to have tonnes of great options. It was delicious! My only gripe with this place is that the queue was mental - I was in it for 45 minutes. I have no issue with a place being popular but the queue was barely moving which was slightly frustrating.

Miso caramel and pear danish is very delicious 👌 I also tried quince for the first time and it has a very pleasant smell. The custard on that was a but too eggy but it might be one off batch. Will definitely come back to try more

This place is very popular, and I made a mistake by choosing to go on a Saturday morning. The queue was long, but they are fast, so, after 30 minutes, I ordered 1 almond croissant, 1 cinnamon swirl, 1 apple custard danish, 1 double choc chip cookie, 1 pain suisse, 1 apple and cinnamon custard. Everything is delicious, the crunch, the freshness, the moreish custard, the delicate balance they achieved in creating those wonderful pastries, is magical. This is a takeaway bakery, an incredibly good one. The staff is courteous and nice. There is very limited outside seating, and no seats inside at all, so bear this in mind. I do not live in Peckham any longer, but this place is worth the journey. I am a dessert person, but they do savoury creations too( I saw a porchetta swirl that looked wonderful, so, in case you prefer salty, your tastebuds will probably be as happy as mine were when i tasted these magnificent pastries.

Super long wait but well worth it- bakery items are so interesting and delicious! Their cinnamon rolls are unbeatable- soft, pillowy, perfect amount of cream cheese frosting! Can’t go wrong. (Everything else was also amazing!)

Went there at 8.30. There was small queue and it moved fast. The lady serving at the front had excellent personality. Tried the everything bagel croissant and the cornbread croissant. Everything bagel croissant- the pastry itself was LUSH! However, imo the filling seemed a bit bitter. Might be because of the dill? But it was still pretty good. I'd recommend sharing it as it's really quite filling. Cornbread croissant- filling was nice, and creamy. Loved it. Again suitable for 2 people.

We stopped by Crumbs and Doilies on a Friday around 2:30 PM and there was no line. We tried a mocha, chocolate biscoff cupcake, red velvet cupcakes (mini,) and chocolate chip cookie. I thought the cupcakes were good and I like they had full size and mini cupcakes. However, I didn't think they weren't anything extra special. I really liked the chocolate chip cookie though - it was nice and thick and the chocolate chips we're still gooey. There is a tiny bit of seating inside and outside. I would visit for the cookies.

Visited Crumbs &Doilies today to try their cookies. Had a biscoff cookie and a mini red velvet cookie. They were nice cookies but for the price didn't find it anything special. Was expecting more, specially the biscoff cookie. It was good to try at least once, but wouldn't rush to come back as didn't find it memorable

The bakery itself is very pretty, and the cupcakes and other treats are beautifully presented. I ordered six cookies. Two s’mores, one pumpkin, one birthday cake, one Bueno, and one Biscoff, along with two cornflake brownies and two s’mores brownies. Everything looked great and very tempting. Taste-wise, however, it was a different story. The standout item was the Biscoff cookie -light, flaky, and delicious. The other cookies were fine but quite basic, nothing special. The s’mores brownie wasn’t great; the best part was the marshmallow on top. The cornflake brownie, which I’d heard great things about, didn’t impress me either. Overall, the place certainly looks the part, but the products lack a real wow factor. I’m glad I tried it since it’s been on my London sweet list for a while, but I wouldn’t return or recommend it. Also, the staff member serving me didn’t seem very happy. A little friendliness and enthusiasm goes a long way.

I ordered the coffee walnut cake for my husband’s birthday yesterday and was a bit disappointed with my experience. I paid for the 10am-2pm delivery window and it did not arrive until 4pm. When it did arrive, the icing was damaged a bit in transit. Would have been willing to let this all go if the cake was excellent but we found it to be just okay. It was beautiful and the actual cake layers were decent (albeit a little dry) but the icing was a let down. It tasted quite artificial and had a marshmallow like texture we did not love. The happy birthday candles I was able to add to the purchase were nice though!

I've bought cupcakes from Crumbs & Doilies each time I've visited London over the past couple years, mostly out of fondness for having loved Cupcake Jemma's channel back in the day. However, I've come to accept that C&D's cupcakes aren't particularly great, and the service provided by their staff has felt cold and a bit dismissive in every short interaction. Sometimes they have fun/unique cupcake flavours, but other weeks they're fairly standard. They're pretty sweet, and the cake itself is a little small & dry, and they compensate by layering on the frosting, which is where most of the flavouring is. The staff each time also seemed to be more interested in chatting with each other, and a little irritated when they'd be "interrupted" by a customer (me). And the vibes generally in the shop were just always a little off. So, I'll keep the nostalgia of previously enjoying Jemma's upbeat and educational baking videos, but in my opinion the C&D shop doesn't reflect the same warmth or quality, so I unfortunately don't have any reason to be returning.

Had a trip to London for my 60th birthday on 27 August 2025, as a surprise my hubby took me to Crumbs and Dollies, I had the delicious Red Velvet cupcake and hubby had the Pistachio and Raspberry Blondie, both so delicious. The ladies in the shop were all very friendly, warm and welcoming. Hubby also bought me a copy of the Crumbs and Dollies book as a birthday gift, cant wait to start baking. Sadly did not get to see Gemma but hopefully she might be there on my next visit, she is always my inspiration when I Im looking to make cupcakes, which are always been a big hit with everyone.

Very cute and cakes are pretty but too sugary for my taste, coffee was not good and overpriced - if you are a coffee connoisseur this isn’t for you. Overall, more of a takeaway option not somewhere to sit and have coffee and cakes when out shopping. It’s a small shop and only has 4 stools even though there’s space for a few more. Otherwise you have to stand or sit on a bench outside - not a great option on a cold day. I probably wouldn’t make an effort to return but it seems a popular choice with tourists and shoppers, so if you are not bothered about the quality of your coffee and happy to eat your cake while you wander around Soho might be a good place to visit.

The only issue we had was that the size portion of the cake has significantly reduced and the price has increased... the taste of the cakes was still delicious but not impressed with the fact they are charging more for less......

Absolutely delicious brownies, so gooey. One of the best I’ve ever had 🤤 I recommend the chocolate and cranberry. The staff member/ owner was very friendly and kind ☺️

I work locally to the store and this place is a sweet haven for me. The salted caramel brownie has me in a chokehold! I always buy one to enjoy on my day off, but it never makes the journey home lol. It’s soooo good! The staff are so lovely and kind, and I’ve enjoyed so many conversations with them which always makes my day a little brighter. The brownies and cake slices are so delicious, I often gift them to friends. They also make really good coffee and great quality matcha which pairs lovely with their sweet treats. Finally, their mince pies are hands down THE BEST I have ever tried. I look forward to them every Christmas. Thank you to all the team, and see you soon! Xx

Had a very disappointing experience with an order I made The inscription on the cake was not neat, which was disappointing as I was collecting the cake for a sensitive & special occasion The staff in store understood were understanding and offered another cake with no inscription as a gesture of good will without taking additional money When I called the main line to explain this and request a refund, marcela called the team in store to get confirmation and decided to override the decision made in store re the gesture and went on to refund for the inscription It was insulting as she continued to emphasis that I had misunderstood the team whilst in store, which is untrue Are just has no idea as to why they were willing to do above and beyond in this instance given the sensitive information I had shared The service in this instance was beyond disappointing and as a customer I shouldn’t be told I lack comprehension skills and giving conflicting evidence all because someone in head office doesn’t agree with service which has been provided in store I will return the cake and not return to their store again,

The server was very rude: she insulted me severely for asking where to throw away the paper. The next day, the manager refused to serve me coffee. The place is nice, the food is good, but they should be more careful when hiring staff who don't respect customers. It lowers the standard of the bakery, and it's a disgrace to treat tourists this way.

Extremely poor experience. Not reliable at all. Don't order custom cakes from them if you don't want tobe disappointed. On the morning of my son's birthday party they said they made a mistake and haven't made the cake when I had ordered days in advance. They put us is a really difficult and stressful situation on the day of my son's birthday party as we needed a custom themed cake. This is really unacceptable. We were trying them for the first time as had seen good reviews. But so extremely disappointed now!

Just visited my favorite Konditor store at Waterloo and the atmosphere there is truly wonderful. the staff is lovely and helpful, the choice of cakes is amazing. strongly recommended!

Wonderful assortment of pastries but the ones we ordered were just alright, nothing mindblowing. A little too sweet for our liking. Soft serve with honey toast was an interesting offer that we don’t see many in other cafes/bakeries so it was lovely. Wanted the vanilla flavour soft serve but it was sold out so I had the chocolate one which was decent. The honey toast that came with it was a little too sweet and dry though. It’s a lovely place with great vibes for a coffee with a friend, to rest your legs after some shopping in central London but not specifically be there for the baked goods. Menu offers breakfast/brunch type of food I have yet to try but I’ll probably skip that. Staff were extremely helpful and kind though. Made us feel really welcomed despite being so busy.

Chestnut Bakery in Covent Garden has quickly become one of my favorite spots in London for pastries and coffee. The atmosphere is warm and welcoming, with a modern yet cozy design that makes it perfect for a relaxed break during a busy day in the city. The staff are friendly, which adds to the overall experience and makes you feel at home even in the middle of a busy area like Covent Garden. The highlight for me is definitely their tiramisu Danish. It’s unlike anything I’ve tried before. It feels indulgent without being overly sweet, and it’s the kind of pastry you’ll think about long after you’ve left. I honestly would come back just for that one item. They also offer a wide selection of baked goods, The coffee is consistently good too, which makes it a perfect pairing with any pastry. I also appreciate that everything feels fresh, and the presentation of the pastries makes it hard to choose just one. The place is great whether you want to sit inside and enjoy the calm atmosphere or grab something to take away while exploring Covent Garden. What’s exciting is that Chestnut Bakery also has another branch in Riyadh, so it’s great to see them bringing their unique style and quality to different parts of the world. If you’re in Covent Garden and looking for a bakery that goes beyond the usual, I highly recommend Chestnut Bakery.

We sat upstairs right by the window with the scenic view of the street. The pastries were each made to be a perfect image of itself. The labneh cherry tomato toasty was the best savory breakfast sandwich you can ask for to be balanced with the sweetness of the blueberry tart - which is easy to miss, but not in Chestnut - every bite you get fresh blueberries and never a jammy sticking to your teeth goo, but a wonderful creamy filling encased by the more exquisite laminated dough. Not one miss!

Came in just before 6. There wasn’t any seating downstairs expect a small table near the entrance which we had to sit there was four of us. Even though the cafe was open we was told upstairs seating was closed. Wanted the Karak tea which wasn’t available, either was the brookie. Ordered two scoops of ice cream which I asked for choc. Then I see one of the guys giving vanilla asked the lady that was serving me that I asked for choc which she said there wasn’t any available even though she took my order. She wasn’t paying attention as she kept repeating my order. As we sat with our hot choc and the basic vanilla ice cream. We can see the bins getting taken out, everything getting cleared up. There was still people coming in. Considering we were in convent garden and you pay more than average I don’t expect to see huge bins going past me multiple times, aswell everything getting cleared up. The cafe is open and should accommodate accordingly during the opening hours. Won’t be coming in a hurry anytime soon.

Place was quite crowded and felt a bit smell on the first floor. I tried their panini sandwich — the portion size was generous, but it was quite oily. The coffee was fine.

Loved the decor inside and we were there on a busy Saturday morning but staff were always attentive and available. I was a bit sceptical when I noticed the items on the menu had some middle eastern inspired ingredients since they're flavours I've grown up eating therefore I had high expectations. Chestnut Bakery not only met my expectations but they exceeded it! I loved the labneh and tomato toast and the baked eggs with sundried tomatoes. Definitely coming back

My boyfriend and I found Chestnut Bakery on Sunday. We queued for about 2–3 minutes, and once inside, we had to wait a little to be served since it was quite busy upstairs. However, once we ordered, everything arrived at the perfect time. The cappuccino was exactly how I like it (less than £4 a really good coffee compared to the usual high street ones), and the sticky cinnamon roll was perfect, with just the right amount of sweetness in the cream. I couldn’t stop thinking about it, so my boyfriend went back today just to get it for me… that’s how good it was

I have been staying here for decades. It always feels like coming home! Service and genuine care is excellent. Location is perfect. Church view rooms offer the best natural light. Upgrades and improvements are always made. Some components in the room were not operating as they should. They now co share a gym, spa, indoor pool with Emory. Children hours for the pool are not enforced, two days in a row.

Well located classic five star London hotel. One of the very few London hotels with a rooftop pool. One of the best hotel breakfasts in town and my favourite spot for a martini. Also hosts Cedric Grilot which is worth a visit. Rooms are a bit plain and corporate but very comfortable

Superb and Faultless. I loved the fact that the staff made us feel like their own extended family. The staff went out of their way to look after us. A special thank you to Andrea at concierge reception desk. My wife and I stayed at the hotel to celebrate our baby son's one year old birthday. I am pleased to say that we had a memorable and personalised experience. The actual location is prime. Very good if you are a tourist in London for the first time.

My partner and I stayed at The Berkeley and were absolutely delighted. The level of care and attention from the staff was beyond anything we’ve experienced before – everyone was friendly, professional, and always ready to help with a smile. The rooms are elegant, bright, and wonderfully spacious, with perfect climate control that made our stay incredibly comfortable. They’re ideal for relaxing after a day exploring London. The spa is truly outstanding, offering a world-class experience of pure relaxation. An exceptional hotel in every way – we’ll definitely be back!

My favorite hotel in London! They staff were amazing, rooms are amazing, location is top, treated my dog as a king, took care of my every needs and when I had an issue with the my card (due to pickpockets) they were so understanding and made sure I didn’t have to worry about anything.

Fabulous hotel. Held my engagement party and birthday parties here so have great memories. Excellent, attentive service, great restaurants and services, wonder spa. The suites are lovely

My friend was visiting from New York and I wanted to do something a little special for her. The Berkeley Café did not disappoint. The service was excellent from the moment I arrived, the doorman was prompt and courteous from the second I got out of my taxi, the lady on the front desk was welcoming and friendly and helped me find the Café. Once seated, the entire tea was a superb experience and I’d like to give a special shout-out to all the hosts who served us on the day. The food and beverages were interesting and imaginative — and above all, delicious. The atmosphere was indulgent and opulent but never made the mistake of taking itself too seriously. TLDR, for the benefit of my American readers (and translated from the original much too-wordy English original): swanky but not stuffy — you can do the full Cleveland, if you want and if you must — although be prepared to take a beating in the old wallet.

Delicious pastries and beautiful croissant lamination. Highly recommend if in the area even if there is a wait. It is a bit chaotic, hard to find a seat and not amazingly welcoming but makes sense given the popularity and tourist quantity.

I stopped by this bakery and tried the plain, almond, and pistachio dark chocolate croissants along with a coffee — and everything was so good! The croissants were perfectly flaky and buttery, with just the right balance of sweetness. The coffee paired perfectly with the pastries and really rounded out the experience. Overall, a fantastic spot for anyone who loves high-quality pastries. I’ll definitely be coming back!

One of the best bakery in the London. Their pastries are awsome. Pastries look and taste very good. I tried pistachio-dark chocolate pain souse and blackberry-almond danish. It was great. The dough was crispy, taste was balanced, not to sweet. Coffee was also good. In the future could be there some cozy sitting place inside. I sat outside. It was ok, hovewer inside place could be better. On the weekend they serve pastries only to the box and coffee to the paper cups. I prefer cup and plate. Also there was long queue. It is better to visit bakery early. Service was very nice and helpful and they talked with me. I am looking forward to next visit in the future.

I usually go early when they’ve got the full range of pastries to choose from. The peach tart was amazing — pictures don’t do it justice! The staff were so lovely too, especially the pastry makers in the little shop opposite the main café.

Busy bakery/café. Seen the hype and a friend lives nearby so had to visit. Beautiful pastries that lived up to the hype. Service was quick and we sat outside. Coffee was ok too. But those pastries are to die for!

We had a pain au chocolat and another one, 2 hours before closing and everything was cold and old, we asked to heat it but they dont do that. I’ll give the benefit of the doubt, maybe you have to go early, but then again if you are selling until 4pm it should taste as good as early in the morning.

the miso bun is insaneeeeee- paired with the flat white is perfect and not too sweet! Super friendly staff too :) place is vibes and will 100% come back!!

Memorable. It was a tough choice, but I went with the coffee & cacao bun, and I’m so glad I did. Flaky on the outside, with a soft, layered pull inside, like a cross between a croissant and a brioche. Not doughy like babka, with just the right amount of chew and buttery stretch. Light enough to keep you coming back for more. I finished it in minutes. No regrets.

Jolene offers a great selection of pastries with well-made coffee to match (unfortunately only had soy or almond milk as alternatives). Also tried; 🥐Ham and cheese croissant - was flaky and elevated by a nice touch of mustard. 🥐 Pain au chocolat - was enjoyable, though the chocolate could have been more evenly distributed.

Small little pastry and bread shop with benches outside. No indoor seating. Much smaller than the one at Stoke Newington but equally good pastries! Love their pain au chocolat! Crispy fresh layers of buttery goodness! Coffee is also excellent! Rich nutty flavour with no extra charge for alternative milks! A little pricey but you get what you pay for.

Had the ham&cheese and pain suisse au chocolat. The chocolate one for me was really fantastic. It's crispy and flakey and is the type of pastry that's more filling than light? Anyways super recc

Haven’t try any of them pastries yet because every time I go there’s nothing I like left. Coffee is good. It’s self service and it’s take away.

Finally made my way a Jolene after wanting to visit for months! The location is beautiful, and the shop itself cute and tiny! I ventured there for the sticky toffee pudding cake which I had heard good things about online, and was lucky they were still in stock at about 12pm on a Friday, as they seemed out of most other things! The staff were friendly and I quite like the concept of being able to pick your own slice/item. Now let me tell you, this is one of the nicest cakes I have ever had. I am an avid sticky toffee lover, and this cake captured the vibe very well! The sponge is incredibly moist with a lovely caramel and date flavour and scent. The frosting - oh my, I have no I idea how they get it so smooth, and again, an amazing toffee flavour! While quite pricey, this is standard for London, and I shall definitely venture back to Jolene to try some of their other offerings! Update June 2024 - I have visited Jolene twice since this fiest occasion. Both times I chose two different cakes that were on the counter on the day (it is impossible to know in advance what may be there!). I got the Boston Cream Pie and Coconut Raspberry Layer Cake. Both these cakes have been absolutely exceptional. The service has also always been warm and welcoming. I will most definitely keep on coming back and recommend to anyone after a good slice of cake!

Just took my first sip of my quadruple Cortado… Obviously this is an old school roast! You just got a love keeping the through line from then to now on good coffee!

I had an extremely disappointing experience last week with Flavourtown. I have ordered from them before and was so impressed I decided to order my brother a birthday cake, as he is gluten free and from previously trying these cakes I thought it would be a treat. The cake was so stale not a single person finished their slice. It looked very impressive and was iced beautifully but was quite literally inedible and the whole thing went in the bin. I received the cake on Friday and emailed the company with pictures on Sunday but their response on Monday was that I had missed the 24 hr window to complain about the cake and they deemed it up to standard. It was so disappointing as the cakes are expensive and meant to be such a treat but was quite the opposite. I wouldn’t order again and would encourage others to look elsewhere before they do too.

Got the Vegan & Free From Gluten Death by Chocolate Cake. It was delicious and high quality! Highly recommend trying it! Delivery and service was good too. Cant wait to try more from Flavourtown Bakery!

Ruined my child's first birthday cake. Paid for a birthday cake and delivery with delivery promise till 5 pm. Cake got delivered at 7.20 pm. The cake had been pressed up against the box on two sides and parts had fallen off. DO NOT ORDER.

Ordered a red velvet cake for my daughter’s birthday Looked ok on collection. Within an hour the whole cake had collapsed to the side , icing had run off including my daughter’s picture and it looked like a sweaty mess. £80. Customer service appalling. Reading other reviews this is a regular occurrence. Do not use them

I order from flavour town every year for my mums and daughters birthday even my own. My daughters birthday cake I collected at 10 am from Fulham road store. It was very busy there was cake boxes everywhere. The cake looked spectacular as always. However when I began to cut the cake I realise that the raspberry filling was so thick and dense and everyone commented on how it tasted in a negative way. The texture of the raspberry filling wasn’t very pleasant, there was to much raspberry filling added and it created like a thick wet slimy sponge as well. The cake looked fabulous but you get a cake to eat it. The birthday girl was disappointed to say the least . Never had this experience with flavour town normally you guys smash it😢. I put a photo of how it’s supposed to look

Let me say that I was sceptical about Flavourtown Bakery. From placing my order to delivery they were exceptional. I screwed up and placed the order for collection instead of delivery so contacted their customer care, was sorted super fast and I spoke to a nice girl called Bell. The Red Velvet cake was the best we’ve ever had. Will be back to order again.

The MOST delicious cakes and cupcakes!! If you want a special occasion cake then this is the place to go...I've had several of their rainbow cakes and they are divine! The cupcakes are to die for and the range of flavours are fantastic! They also have fab vegan cupcakes and gluten free brownies on offer which, i've been told, are delicous! I cant recommend enough...and did I mention they deliver?!?! The coffee they serve is really nice...obviously no seating inside at present and all COVID regulations in place but the shop is gorgeous and you WILL take a photo! Last time I was there I had the espresso martini cupcake...up there with the best yet. I live within walking distance...lucky for me, unlucky for my waistline!!

The raspberry jam doughnut was good. The doughnut itself was light and fluffy with a good coating of sugar, and with proper seeded raspberry jam inside. The best doughnuts I’ve had? I’m not sure, but worth trying if you are nearby. This bakery also sells bread, croissants and wine. They also offered Hot Cross Bun doughnuts and Hot Cross Buns when we visited just before Easter too.

Average donut. I wanted to love it since we love St John restaurant. I finally decided to give it go on Sunday morning right after they opened so the doughnuts were super fresh, which didn't feel was the case. It was soft, but not super soft, the vanilla custard was nice not overly sweet. I think the price is the usual for London, I would pay ½ the price. I've certainly had better. I don't think I will go back, but for once it was nice. Service, was decent, St John could definitely pay a little more attention to their staff here as there is room for improvement.

If you’re a fan of doughnuts, St. John Bakery is an absolute must-try. These aren’t your average pastries—Michelin star doughnuts that are on a whole different level. 🍩 What we had: • A selection of their signature doughnuts Each one was light, fluffy, and perfectly glazed—the kind of treat that feels indulgent but balanced. They’ve absolutely nailed the texture and sweetness. No fillings dripping down your hand—just clean, satisfying bites full of flavor. 📝 What I liked? Everything. The quality is undeniable, and the doughnuts speak for themselves. Great service, clean layout, and consistent excellence. 👎 What I didn’t like? Honestly—nothing to fault here. ✅ Would I go back? Without hesitation. It lives up to the hype and then some. A must for any pastry lover. 🔍 Note: This is one of the rare cases where a first visit earns a perfect score. Top marks across the board.

Bakery items were extremely limited for a self proclaimed "bakery" - they do not have sandwiches - and my cinnamon bun was average. However the staff were friendly and accommodating. It is a very nice place to have a coffee pit-stop with a great aspect of Neal's Yard from the outdoor seating.

Is a small wine shop-bakery where you can find delicious pastries, and even a cup of coffee. The staff is polite and kind, and gave us useful and interesting advice about their products. Thank you very much, and we will definitely be back! Ohhh .. the vanilla cream donuts completely won us over. I recommend you try them :) they are delicious and you can enjoy them outside on the wooden benches, in an quiet and peaceful atmosphere .. we love it Thank you!

I had seen this donuts years ago online in a video and have waited since then to get a chance to try them. I was not disappointed at all. These donuts are fantastic. Perfectly fluffy and with an amazing filling. The staff was also friendly, professional, and kind. I will definitely be coming back as much as I can the next time I visit!

St. John Bakery in Neal’s Yard is a true haven for those who appreciate the art of fine baking. Their donuts are nothing short of perfection—a delectable trio of vanilla, chocolate, and raspberry jam that redefines what a donut can be. Each flavor is exquisitely balanced, with a texture that is both light and indulgent, offering an unparalleled tasting experience. What truly sets this bakery apart, however, is the exceptional service. Oscar, with his courteous and attentive approach, is the epitome of an English gentleman. His warm hospitality and dedication to customer satisfaction make every visit feel special, ensuring that you leave not just with a box of the finest pastries, but with a memorable experience. For anyone in search of the best that London has to offer, St. John Bakery in Neal’s Yard is an absolute must. The combination of remarkable quality, impeccable service, and the charming location makes it a standout in every sense. It’s more than just a bakery—it’s an experience of pure delight.

Bought 3 lovely clebration cakes from Luminary after trying their wedding taster cup cakes. After trying out a couple of supplier these were my favourites. I went for the Carrot Cake, Chocolate and Hazelnut and Salted Caramel. They were all delicious - moist and really tasty! My only slight complaint was their serving size suggestions. They said 14-20 people per cake for the size I ordered, so I got 3 birthday cakes for a party of around 75 people and was worried it wouldn't be enough... I needn't have worried at all! One cake did the entire party!!! So If you just want to give people a small taster slice for a party/wedding or an event, you won't need 3 cakes for 70 people!

We ordered a selection of Luminary Bakery’s mini cakes for our wedding reception. Christy was super helpful during the ordering process, and the cakes were delivered to the venue on the day on time. Our guests really enjoyed the cakes - not a single one was left! There were also a selection of flavours for different dietary requirements (gluten free, vegan etc), which was really helpful and meant there was something for everyone. It was also great to know that a portion of our wedding budget was going towards a social enterprise and a worthy cause, so would thoroughly looking into Luminary Bakery as your wedding cake supplie!

I recently photographed Michael + Maud's wedding, and they chose Luminary Bakery for their cake. It looked and tasted amazing! Would highly recommend, Joshua Humphrey Photography

We bought our wedding cake from Luminary. They were so thoughtful and communicative throughout the preparation process. We went for orange, cardamom and pistachio which was delicious - lots of guest compliments! They iced it beautifully and left it plain so we could add our own flowers. Thank you Luminary!

We had breakfast here on our way to a birthday party. We loved the simple , slightly rustic feel of the bakery . We had croissants and yoghurt with granola ( huge portion!) . Really friendly staff , nice atmosphere and tasty food. Wish we lived closer so we could come more often ! Coincidentally the cake at the party was from the bakery and it was very light and fluffy. We loved it !

I ordered a lemon and blueberry wedding cake from Luminary Bakery after ordering the taster set. I don't think the taster cupcake did justice to how amazing this cake is when you get a full cake :) It was just one of the most delicious moist and tasty cakes I have ever had (and I pride myself on eating alot of cake)! Whilst I was gutted that at the wedding everyone had eaten so much they couldn't eat all the cake , it was still fabulous and so fresh the next day. I ended up giving out slices at our brunch the day after the wedding for people to eat on their trains home and it got rave reviews! This bride and groom may have also had it for breakfast two days in a row and I wish I could start my day with that cake for the rest of our married life :) Thank you so much Luminary for what you do, not only are you an amazing business who are really trying to do something good for so many women ,you are also baking the most beautiful delicious cakes! The cake was a definite highlight of our wedding -thank you so much!

We used Luminary Bakery to supply mini-cakes for guests after our wedding ceremony. The cakes were delicious, beautifully presented and went down really well with everyone. Christy from Luminary bakery provided a great service throughout the process, answering all our questions and making sure everything was delivered on time. Thanks so much to the Luminary Team!

The food was good - some dishes were better than others of course, but I love the complexity and interesting combination of flavors. I've no idea why anyone would complain of small portions. My friend and I each ordered a main with 2-3 salads. Each portion was sufficient to generous. We also each ordered a dessert and coffee. Each dessert was fantastic. Really lovely crumb and great flavors for my cake. The seating was limited but we managed a seat inaide at the community table. The people we sat beside were lovely. We had wonderful conversation. The service was friendly and attentive. When I recognized the name of a chef, our server had him come out to meet us. It was an embarrassing fangirl moment, but I very much appreciated the thoughtfulness and time dedicated to us. We had a great meal and a truly memorable experience; it was a highlight of my trip to London.

What can I say, Ottolenghi is just fantastic. Top quality baked goods and beautiful fresh salads. This time we bought 3 cookies and 2 cakes and all of them were outstanding. Perfectly baked and superb flavours. 100% worth the money.

Everything I had was so delicious, well prepared, and had so much intentional flavor. Ottolenghi does it again. The Shakshuka was rich and packed with spice and complexity. The baked treats are vast and too many to just pick one, but if the three I had they were flawless. The table for 10 people in the back is cozy, first come first serve and is usually packed. No toilet so keep that in mind if you sit for a couple cups of coffee. The atmosphere and staff are warm and welcoming. It is a great stop and go or if you are lucky and can get a seat grab it for a truly wonderful experience.

Beautiful take-away shop with a little communal table at the back. Highly seasonal, daily-changing menu. Delicious mains and great selection of salads from the counter. A true gem. No customer toilets.

Great place with kind staff and tasty food. The food comes out very quickly. The shakshuka is excellent and comes with a unique smoky taste. Only down side is that there's only 1 table inside and no bathroom, so it's less ideal for sitting.

Ottolenghi is a trendy delicatessen located on Motcomb Street in Knightsbridge that serves Mediterranean cuisine. Yotam Ottolenghi, the author of 3 bestselling cookbooks has 3 other delis in London as well as a restaurant. As I arrived, the place was very busy. With just one shared table at the back full of people having lunch I decided to have a take away salad box. With an array of beautiful salads and cakes in front of me, it was a real feast for the eyes. I opted for the Roasted Aubergine with Saffron Yoghurt, Walnuts, Pomegranate and Basil as well as the Green Beans with Hazelnuts, Orange and Taragon. The salads were well flavoured, tasty and of good quality for a salad on the go. They also had a selection of mains to choose from including beef, salmon, tuna, turkey and chicken. I felt that this place has been way over hyped. The salads are very decent but not mouth watering. However, staff are professional and very efficient. Take away salads are priced by weight at 100g. Prices are on the high side. You could go home feeling hungry.

Lovely food, and the deserts are amazing if you know what to pick! Chocolate and hazelnut brownie was great, halva and caramel slice was good too - spiced caramel with a light shortbread-like base. The baked chocolate tart with tahini and sesame brittle was an unexpectedly harmonious marriage of flavours, and delicious as well.

This chain cafe is located on Shaftesbury Avenue, near Covent Garden, about a 10mins walk from the underground station, making it very easy to find. The cafe is small and mainly sells various buns and breads. The two staff members were friendly. We ordered a Walnut Bun, a Cinnamon Bun, and a Latte. Unfortunately, both the food and coffee were very average. I probably won’t be returning next time.

Fabrique is such a charming bakery! We tried the cardamom bun which was deliciously fragrant, though a touch dense and enjoyed it with a coffee. Can’t wait to come back and try their famous cinnamon bun, which we’ve heard amazing things about!

Lovely bakery, there’s a few around town. The have ~12 items daily -aside from loafs-, so ordering is easy and each item is crafted to perfection, the sourdough bread is delightful, the sweet goods very good too. Very limited seating with about 5 2 seater tables.

The almond bun was fine but a bit too sweet to me, and the almond was not as pronounced as I would have liked it to be. It was also cold and did not taste super fresh. Note that even the almond bun was based on the classic one so had a lot of cardamom. Overall on top of buns this bakery has bread / baguettes and some sweet options too, as well as croissants

We had the cardamon bun. İt was divine. We bought a rye bread with seeds. We wanted them to slice the bread, they said no. They wouldn't give us a knife to cut it. We sat down there have a coffee and tried to break the bread, made a mess of it. İ find these UK rules around knives a little funny. We have been serviced by someone who doesn't smile, like at all. She even didn't have the common courtesy of doing it. The place looked clean but felt like you are not welcome there.

Wanted to try out this rustic looking quaint bakery at Covent Garden. Tried a Hot chocolate which I would rate 3/5. Nothing special. The Cinnamon bun was cold, dense and nowhere near the quality or taste you get in other London Bakeries. The aesthetics is nice but service, I am afraid I cannot recommend.

It was literally the worst cappuccino I had recently. Prices for coffee were nowhere near available to see. I was charged £3.80 for a small cup, which is expensive even for Covent Garden area. Service was "excellent", haven't felt welcome at all, nothing was said by any of two girls behind the till. Definitely do not recommend.

The best chocolate almond croissant I’ve ever had — truly unforgettable. Arome is one of the best bakeries in London, known for its signature pastries like the honey butter toast (which I haven’t tried yet), but I did have the miso apple danish and the chocolate almond croissant. I’m usually not a big fan of apple desserts, but this danish completely changed my mind. The miso adds a subtle umami flavor, perfectly balancing the sweetness of the apples. Unlike most apple pastries that miss the mark on texture, this one had both crunch and flakiness. Inside, the almond filling added the right amount of nuttiness, making every bite feel harmonious — 10/10. And the croissant… absolutely flawless. Buttery, light, and crisp — I could literally travel to London just to have it again. You can dine in or take away, both options are great. If you have time for only one bakery in London, make it Arome. No hesitation — it’s a must-visit.

Over hyped … ordered the Honey Butter toast and the Parmesan Nori pastry thingy. I don’t know what I was expecting but it was quite anti climatic in flavour. The crunch of the pastry was good . Honey butter toast was not too sweet which I liked but had this weird honey aftertaste. For the price it’s not worth it.. I have had way better !! The service was meh!! The aesthetic was Beautiful . They need to update their website. Because it said they did the bacon escargot but they had stopped making it

Got the Arôme Honey Butter Toast and the Tomato Pesto Danish and was surprised at how delicious they both were. The honey butter toast was light, sweet, and crispy. The edges with the caramelized honey was soooo good. The danish was refreshing with the sweet tomatoes and flakey pastry. It was a nice balance to the honey butter toast. The interior was very aesthetically pleasing so it was nice to dine in.

Their puff pastry items were truly delicious. We tried the plain croissant and the pistachio–chocolate escargot; both were excellent. You can really taste the butter. The escargot was made with dark chocolate, and I think it would be even better if they also offered a milk chocolate option. There are very few tables inside. When we visited, there were separate queues for take-away and dine-in. Since we saw a note recommending take-away due to products selling out quickly, we decided to get ours to go and ate them in front of the shop. I definitely recommend stopping by.

Everything at Arôme is delicious, with crisp and buttery pastries. You absolutely must try the Honey Butter Toast — soft inside, caramelized and crunchy on top. A must-visit! 👏 There is a short wait at busy times, unless you choose takeaway.

Sweet heaven! The pastries were buttery and flaky, and were perfectly crispy. We had the honey butter toast (10/10), the tomato pesto danish and the spinach quiche. You can tell everything is made fresh. The kind of place that makes you smile with every bite!

We queue for more than 45 minutes to get a seat. The croissant was crispy, fluffy and tasty. The homemade butter and jam enhanced the taste further. The pistachio, chocolate, escargot was good too. However, the coffee was average. Another small unpleasant experience was people who queue for takeaway decided to have a sit, spoiling the if enjoyable experience.

Had the Dubai chocolate as the Tiramisu had been off the menu the entire season. If you like a lot of cream and bold flavours in a bed of crispy flaky awesomeness, then this for you. I loved it, though this was the larger model and even for a cream fiend this was too much in one seating. More for later. For London, the area,, and the generosity of the filling, this is actually reasonably priced.

These are the tastiest buns I have tried. The outside is like a sweet crispy but soft croissant like, and the filling can vary but the chocolate custard bun & dubai chocolate bun are the best. They are very big and filling and I can’t finish in one go, however, they are so worth every penny. Highly recommend this place - 10/10!

We stopped by Buns From Home while visiting London and it absolutely blew our minds! We tried the vanilla roll and the cheesecake roll — both were insanely delicious. The texture, the flavor, everything was just perfect. One of the best pastry spots we’ve ever been to. Highly recommended!

It was a great first experience at Buns from home -our server Mateo was funny, friendly and very informed about the different products. He explained which flavours might suit our palette which made choosing easy. The buns (cheesecake; chocolate custard; chocolate hazelnut) were devoured with joy.

A local friend recommended their bakes, and I tried their cinnamon bun. It’s decent overall, and I appreciate that it doesn’t come with glazed. While the bun is good, I’m giving it a lower overall rating because the staff isn’t hospitable. This definitely isn’t the best bun I’ve tried.

Super tasty Dubai chocolate bun! Lots of cream cheese filling which worked perfectly with the sweetness of the pistachio sauce. Eat bite was well balance between filling and pastry. A good size too.

The Dubai chocolate bun is AMAZING. The richness of the pistachio, the cream cheese feeling that just adds this softness to the bun and the sweetness of the chocolate is just emasculate. Everyone needs to buy this pronto !!

Gorgeous and cozy place. Lovely staff. Very attentive. Starters were amazing. We had the truffle scallop and peach/tomato salad. The salad was incredible. The mains were also very good but a bit forgettable. We had the pork saffron tagliatelle and the Dover sole. Dessert was incredible and well thought out. Both the berries diplomat and blood peach soft serve. Drinks menu was nice and had a gorgeous selection. The strawberry rhubarb mocktail was so good. Will definitely come again but probably only for a lot of small plates! Think the food would’ve been a five if we opted for all starters, considering skipping the mains!

very overpriced for odd combinations of food. we ordered all the recommendations from the staff and was very disappointed with everything. Left hungry and horrible taste palettes. The mushroom dish was essentially two spoonful of mushroom w four slices of spec for £16. The cured grey mullet that was highly recommended by the staff was a really weird combination, extremely fishy taste and the macha does not fair well with it at all. The only dish that didn’t disappoint is really the bread and butter. Overall not worth the visit. You can probably get a Michelin meal with the same amount of money for the horrible food here

A strong choice if you're looking for a buzzy venue for a chatty dinner. The food is inventive, stylish and light. The team is friendly and attentive. It will nevertheless be an expensive dinner - the food is so light that you have to order a lot to avoid going away hungry. It's also extremely loud due to the dense seating and hard surfaces.

loved loved loved Jolene! such great and tasty food from the restaurant and you can’t miss the goodies from the bakery either. we loved it so much, we visited twice in one week! a highlight of our London trip

Great staff - service was top tier. Casual but friendly and attentive. Loved the starters. Literally wanted to lick the sauce of the plate of the lobster dish (and they brought over extra bread for us to do so). Def will be back but will likely opt for more starters and skip the main as it was just a little too heavy for us after enjoying the first dishes.

What a neighborhood gem! The food was fantastic! Every plate we ordered was unique and the chilled wine was paired finely! The staff is very attentive and friendly. The atmosphere of the restaurant is also great!

Have been meaning to go for a while now. Could not get reservations forever but finally got some very last minute which I was excited about. Commuted 50 minutes. It was a £50 cancellation fee per person. A bit of a let down when it came to the restaurant. I enjoyed the atmosphere of the place. The food wasn’t the best ☹️We started off with only a couple of dishes to see how to go from there. The way the dishes are presented is odd. Apparently every meal ordered is a sharing meal, so they give you small plates depending on how many people you are and only present one dish at a time. We were a group of 4. Off the menu, there are 14 dishes. We were told that usually a group our size orders from 8-16 dishes (assuming you order two of some things) which was a bit overwhelming considering the price points of these dishes and the portions presented. ( Please keep in mind I am constantly reviewing restaurants of different price ranges and evaluating based on what I truly think is worth the cost. This is not a trait where I am being stingy lol) We ended up ordering two starters and three mains. They said we can order more once the food comes out. I guess that’s quite common. Bread and Butter was Great. The Aubergine was fine. Tiny portion considering its sharing. The best dish was the beef ragu but even then it was a bit too oily. I want to reiterate that these portions are very small. I understand that may be why you should order 8-16 dishes but that just seems greedy lol. The Gnocchi was served as flat squares. When asked about the shape, it’s apparently sometimes done that way? Not an issue but found a bit odd. And the sauce on the gnocchi was very bland. We also got the Cod but it was sat on top of green beans cooked in a sort of tomato sauce. Odd combination. The cod was VERY bland. I truly truly did want to like this restaurant but it was disappointing. It was also where I chose to take my cousin who came from abroad so I just had higher expectations. I think I will be back for the bakery opening times because I’ve heard great things.

Got the matcha snow ice, and it was delicious. Highly recommend to share between 2 people. There is limited seating, but there’s still enough room if you want to drop by for a quick snack

The crepe cakes here are delicious! I've sampled a few, and the chocolate mousse is definitely my favorite. While the vanilla and Oreo cookie flavors were tasty, I found them a bit too sweet. The Japanese cheesecake was also a hit. My only minor quibble is that the prices are a bit steep, but the service was good

Cute patisserie with minimal seating, only 2 stands a 3 small tables. Serving lovely Japanese desserts and matcha. I tried their Dubai chocolate milled crepes and it was very tasty. Several locations around London. It definitely worths a visit!

A small, simple cafe with more or less 15 seats. Had to try matcha mille crepe to balance out their Tiramisu bingsu -- which was not to "tiramisu"-ey, but it's cool to eat anyway. Matcha flavor is good, but doesn't have a strong flavor like the ones you get to try if you've ever been in Japan. Always having our usual take out of chocolate mille crepe which is by far the best in town! 😋 And we go back for it everytime we're in the capital. 😍👌🏻

Particular love for their Yuzu Matcha Slushie but anything I've tried here was delicious! I love that the cafe closes later at night, perfect for an eve hangout with friends without having to go out drinking at a pub ~

This is my favourite place for cheese cake and tiramisu. I love the coffee art and the cup here, looks really cute. Place is bit small and cozy but cake is to die for. I would definitely advise to try cheesecake and tiramisu. I have been here number of times for cheesecake.

Absolutely! Here's a more enthusiastic version with emojis: Such a great spot for bubble tea 🧋 and cakes 🍰! The Basque cheesecake was delicious, but the real star for me was the Matcha Tart 🍵—you can really taste that rich, bold matcha flavor! I also had the Matcha Bubble Tea, and the combo was perfect 😋. The cakes are a bit rich, but with the drinks, it’s just right. Highly recommend this place! Can’t wait to come back! 💚✨

Adorable cafe, I’d come here to study, light music playing in the background and wasn’t too busy when I went on a Friday. They provide free lemon water too, self serve. The cream bun was very milky and creamy, but could be too much for one person cos the shear amount of cream. I shared it with a friend and that was just right, the bread rolls used tasted quite dry.

When I feel nostalgic of home or I want a nice sweet treat, FORNO is my go to bakery. The Veneziana pastry is my top favourite , paired with the perfect jasmine tea. I tried the Tiramisù which it was ok, the savoiardi should be soaked in a bit more coffee imo, coz I could barely taste it, but the layer of mascarpone is super generous. Yum! I like the general vibe of the place, staffs have always been nice too.

Good quality bakery yes, fine ingredients. We arrived at 13h and there was almost no more choice in pastries… the hype over the creamy pastry was over made: the whipped cream was a lot and the brioche normal. The lemon custard was a too much cream. At first, our almond croissant was super dry, but thankfully the staff kindly exchanged it for some of the freshly newly baked ones and these were very warm and buttery! Don’t get me wrong: good bakery, but just not the best and missing a range of selection… Maybe italian pastries are just not my favs personally?

Stopped by Forno in Hackney on a Saturday afternoon while walking around Victoria Park. Tried their bakery selection and coffee – both were fine, but nothing that really stood out. The space is nice and it’s a convenient spot if you’re in the area, but overall the experience was just okay.

Perfectly located to enjoy the good weather on a pretty morning day! The pastry was delicious but a bit dry on the outside :( the coffee was good!

Small menu of savoury lunch items (my pizza al taglio was very good) and some delectable pastries. Open plan bakery - busy and buzzy. Good coffee

Friendly staff. Awesome to watch the bakers at work. Most importantly the coffees and pasties were great. The lemon curd one was my fave and the custard bun my friends gave.

I found the place on Google on my walk at Primrose Hill. There is no price list anywhere about the cupcakes, bit weird. I decided to try the snickers one. Chocolate cupcake filled generously with caramel, peanut butter flavoured buttercream and a 1/3 snickers bar. I was actually happy with my cupcake and it has exceeded my expectations. 4* because It would be lovely to sit down other than the outside table in 2°C. It would have been lovely not to freeze my hand while trying to have a bite outside. I also bought a hot chocolate I didn't like that much.

I ordered a vanilla cake topped with figs, raspberries, and pistachios, and it was delicious. Everyone loved it, so thank you so much! Would definitely order from here again.

Ordered a heart cake for our engagement party and absolutely loved the cake Primrose Bakery created for us. Extremely tasty and made with less than a week’s notice. I also love the cupcakes here. Such a cute bakery. Xx

I recently ordered a bento/lunchbox cake from Primrose Bakery and I was really impressed! Even though it was a style they don’t usually do, they nailed it. On top of that, it was a very last minute order. The cake looked amazing, with vibrant colors and great attention to detail. The taste was just as good as the appearance—moist, flavorful, and perfectly sweet. My husband loved it! The team was friendly and dedicated to making my order special. I highly recommend if you’re looking for a creative and delicious cake. I can’t wait to order from them again!

Have been going here for birthday cakes for past 3 years now. Really wonderful cake! I contacted Primrose Bakery by WhatsApp and they quickly gave a quote and a design which no one bakery seemed to do! Beautifully decorated and lovely and fresh too. Can’t recommend enough.

Primrose Bakery is a delightful spot nestled in the heart of Primrose Hill. The ambiance is charming, with a cozy and inviting atmosphere that transports you to a vintage English tearoom. The cupcakes are the star here—moist, flavorful, and topped with just the right amount of frosting. The staff are friendly and knowledgeable, offering a range of delicious treats. It's the perfect place to indulge in quality baked goods and enjoy a relaxing moment with friends or a quiet cup of coffee.

Compact, cute cupcake bakery with a wide choice of flavours. No room inside to eat your purchase, but they do have a bench outside. They also make celebration cakes, which you can pre-order. If you fancy something sweet in the afternoon, pop in for a cupcake and you'll be happy for the rest of the day.

I ordered 3 different cakes, different styles and flavours but all of them AMAZING! Everyone loves them and the customer service was 5 stars.

Great experience of ordering a cake with Reshmi/Anges de Sucre. She had a variety of budget options on her website plus possibility of a bespoke cake. Easy ordering and seamless delivery. The cake itself was delicious. Moist and perfect sweetness - enjoyed by all! She's won a loyal customer in us! Thanks Reshmi!

We’ve been buying cakes from Anges de Sucre for several years and this year decided to commission a personalised cake for the very special occasion of my daughter’s first birthday. We paid £350 for an 8” lemon sponge with buttercream, with a “Miffy” cake topper and provided two pictures of Miffy for reference. Unfortunately the cake topper was of very poor quality and likeness to the Miffy. As seen in the pictures: 1) the white icing was covered in several black spots where care was not taken to avoid cross contaminating colours, 2) the basic facial features were messy and the eyes were too close together, 3) the icing hadn’t been smoothed to cover join lines, 4) toothpicks were clearly visible, and 5) too much icing was used for the body so it looked too fat. It was a massive surprise and huge disappointment to receive this order given we’ve had a great experience over the years, though this was our first year buying a personalised cake. I’m genuinely shocked it was made so poorly given the great examples on the website (eg Paddington Bear). Luckily my mother-in-law managed to re-model the topper to look much, much better (eg taking care to remove the black spots, removing about 50% of the icing used and adjusting the eyes and mouth to make it more alike to Miffy, smoothing the join lines, hiding the tooth picks). Unfortunately we won’t be ordering from Anges anymore based on this experience. Such a shame.

Really excellent cake - looked beautiful and tasted so good! Also really easy and pleasant to communicate and coordinate with. Highly recommend!

UPDATED: Perfect cake. Ordered for my 30th and was very happy, best birthday cake I’ve had since a rugrats one on my 7th birthday 😂. Delicious, the SBC( buttercream) defo is tastier at room temp as outlined in the helpful instructions on the lid. Kept well - it was a super hot weekend so I put it in the fridge but it arrived Saturday and I polished off the last of it on Thursday. The sparkler/ topper in the box was a thoughtful addition. Will order again (and again) Updating this review two years later to say I still love the cakes and add photos of this years. I didn’t get great photos because I ate so fast. We had a heat wave again and my flat lacks cool and dry places so I ignored the instructions (which are clearly written on the box!!!) and put it in the fridge - it still tastes great just not as moist. It’s still 100000% better than the chain bakers. I went for one of the more cost friendly options this time. They are still huge! Still worth every penny

My review of Anges de Sucre is about 10 years overdue, that's how long I've been buying these cakes. I first did so in Selfridges, then at the now sadly defunct shop off Ken Church St and finally online, but in all this time Reshmi has simply gone from strength to strength, now offering a simply shocking array of cakes. I'm no pâtissière but, like Nigella, I self-qualify as an expert by virtue of being an eager eater [and thus always reassuringly "a little bit fat" like Bridget Jones] and having had cakes from every man and woman and his and her dog in London [Harrods, Lola, Peggy Porschen, Lili Vanilli, Flavourtown, April's Bakery, Konditor, F&M... and these are just the first that spring to mine], Reshmi consistently blows them out of the water sideways. Note the use of "consistently" which is very important in my book. In simple terms, every time I tried some else's cake I would always end up disappointed on a varying scale, with some of them covered in greasy icing, others only good for 24 hours, and others still progressively drying out down the rainbow layers [how is that even possible?! WHY!]. None of that with a cake from Anges de Sucre who simply seduced me since my first one [and you never forget it, mine was the ghetto riche cake which you can still order] and continues to entice me with many designs that sit the right side of kitsch, where I spend most of my life. I am enclosing some of the cakes I've had over the years but there are plenty more where those came from! Still toying with the possibility of ordering a croque en bouche one of these days... may need to invite 50 random people to my digs or perhaps concentrate and power-through solo.

The coffee cake was absolutely fantastic. It looked brilliant, had the perfect level of coffee flavour in the sponge and the buttercream was light and delicious. The recipient was thrilled. The team were really responsive in dealing with questions before I ordered too. Would recommend.

Wow! Absolutely amazing! Came here for the first time having been drawn by their Guinness cake and ended up leaving with a few other baked goodies. Wanted to try their pizza/pies being Saturday, but maybe due to heatwave, there was no pizza, but did get a mortedella and mozzerella sarnie in focaccia. That was very tasty. Decent amount of filling, moist focaccia and a good bit of chutney...think may have been apricot and raisins, giving it a good tang. Also bought a Cheddar and Kimchi focaccia, tried a bit of that fresh; pleasantly surprised, it is nice and fluffy. Looking forward to making a nice sarnie from it at home. Although some of the top looks burnt, it isn't actually burnt and actually gives it a nice crust cheesy topping. The Harissa and Feta scone also very worthy of trying. Probably one of the best scones I have had, nice and fresh with a fluffiness to it, unlike hard scones I have had from elsewhere in the past. The harissa and feta really goes well. Can be eaten on its own, no need to add anything to it. Have not tried the coconut pineapple iced finger or cookie yet. The Guinness cake was very moist, not heavy and the cream on top is light tasting, which really complements the cake, which is not too sweet, in fact the right sweetness as I don't like overly sweet stuff. I think they really nailed the taste of the Guinness cake, so will definitely go back for that. Regretted not getting the peach pie, not realising it is limited edition and not a regular item. Queued about 25 minutes to be served, so not too bad. The staff were very friendly and welcoming, and the two co-owners were there busy baking, but still looked up to give a welcoming greeting. If you love good quality and tasty baked goods, would really recommend you try. One of the best bakeries in SE London.

there was a queue at opening time which is surprising for a weekday (thursday). can’t imagine what it’s like on the weekend. nonetheless all the pastries were delicious - got the feta tomato olive galette, guinness cake, mortadella focaccia sandwich, and creamed corn n’duja bun. all a hit

Amazing freshly baked goods. Been here so many times as I live in the area and always so impressed by how good they are. Everything on the menu is amazing but I’d totally recommend focaccia and Guinness cake. Absolutely beautiful! The only downside is the massive queue especially on a Saturday morning but it’s worth the wait.

Unfortunately, the porridge oat loaf was far underbaked. Never had a loaf so underbaked before from any bakery, the weight should have been a giveaway. The end pieces that were fine to eat were very tasty, so that’s a positive. Other items were far more successful, in particular the malted milk bun I’d brave the queue for, were it not for the loaves. A bakery that underbakes bread is a no from me (I see it’s been an issue in some other reviews). Edit: appreciate the reply. Did try other methods to contact. I understand things do slip through but can assure it’s from an underbake. Second edit: Apologies if that review comes across as harsh, but it was my first time visiting and I went out of my way by an hour, then queued up for 20 minutes. It was worth it for the other baked goods, but the bread that we bought for dinner was raw. Not just a little under baked, raw dough. My gf had a bite then got stomach ache immediately. Happy to share pics/video - we did message on Instagram but it couldn’t go through. Didn’t realise that you can email in, noted.

Finally made it here and it went beyond the expectations. Staff so humble and kind. Food 10/10. Shame I live so far but will definitely come back

Service level and love of craft are incredible. They love what they do and you can taste it in the food. You’ll definitely wait in the queue, but it will be worth it.

Yummy yummy yummy. Very nice baked goods, both savoury and sweet. The Guinness Cake was insane.

UPDATE: The owner reached out to me on Instagram to resolve the matter & refunded £5 to me. I appreciate their effort to solve the matter and hope they consider updating their description on Too Good to Go for two of their restaurants so it more accurately reflects what’s offered. basically scammed by them on the ‘Too Good to Go’ app. On the description it says “Freshly prepared ,Pide and Lahmacun (Turkis pizza) served with mix salad.” But what I got was rice, bread, 2 falafel & salad. I went in to the cafe and there were no one, I had to find my way to the restaurant next door and then they told me it is operate by the same person. Very dodgy atmosphere and overall very disappointing experience, from being open to try different food to being deceived. They won’t give you food that is matching their own description or leftover, they will heat up food right away that cost below £4.99 because their business is bad (literally no one in the restaurant) they use this tactic.

Amazing Georgian cuisine! The food was absolutely delicious — full of authentic flavors and beautifully presented. Tekla was such a lovely host and made us feel completely at home from the moment we arrived. The atmosphere was warm and welcoming, and every dish felt made with care. I’ll definitely come back as soon as I can!

Great spot in Soho! Stopped by on a Sunday afternoon. The food was delicious. Yamil served me a fantastic avocado and salmon salad — fresh & tasty. He even kept me company while I ate! Highly recommend if you’re looking for a cozy and friendly place in the area.

Exceptional food. Me and a just decided to try this place out the blue. One of the best, most unassuming meals I’ve eaten in a long time. Flavours exceptional. Home cooked vibes. To all the tourists in London who kept walking by I say this. Stop going to overhyped tourist trap places and support resultants like this!

We went there for a special family occasion and had an incredible night throughout. The staff welcomes you at the door with a smile and they do everything to make you feel at home. Their food was real authentic and so delicious. Their broad wine list and cocktail menu turn it into a whole experience. We had such unforgettable memories there. Listening to Violet’s stories from the owner and knowing more about “the Soho Culture” was a bonus. If you’re looking for a place to dine and have some good time in Soho, this is your place.

Amazing food, amazing atmosphere and amazing people came together in one place. Apart from their delicious food and nice presentation, they have amazing cocktails as well. Their Pornstar Martini is a must-try! The staff is so kind and helpful. You will be well fed and welcomed there. Will definitely go back again to try new things.

Lovely staff !! The food and service was amazing ! We recommend to come here for everyone seeking out good hospitality and lovely food !

Delicious food in a pleasant environment served by super friendly staff all at a very reasonable price. Authentic Austrian cuisine that took me back to touring the Alps! Thoroughly recommend.

We visited Kipferl a few weeks ago to fulfil my friend’s wish for an authentic Wiener Schnitzel and a proper slice of Eszterházy cake. As Hungarians from near the Austrian border, the menu felt like a nostalgic trip back to our childhood kitchens. The Wiener Schnitzel did not disappoint – perfectly cooked and served with a potato salad that hit all the right notes. The Eszterházy cake was a standout – beautifully made and truly reminiscent of homemade versions, which are rare to find done well. The overall selection of traditional Austrian dishes was impressive. Staff were friendly and welcoming – the lady who served us was particularly attentive, and the Hungarian waiter was a delight: talkative and kind. While the prices are on the higher side, this is central London, and the quality of food certainly justifies it. The only downside was the outdoor seating – quite cramped and the furniture felt a bit flimsy. Understandably, space is limited, but sturdier and more comfortable seating would really elevate the experience. Overall, we were very satisfied and would happily return for another taste of home.

Booked lunch there on a Saturday. When we arrived, we waited for about 5 minutes to be seated until someone came to seat us. We ordered the Tiroler Gröstl (beef and potatoes topped with an egg) and Kaspressknödel (cheese dumplings) as well as Sauerkraut as a side. The Gröstl was well seasoned, but even with a egg, slightly on the dry side. The potatoes were very crispy and really good. The knödel were nicely cooked, but lacked seasoning. Adding salt doesn't help that much, since they need to be seasoned throughout. Otherwise, it would have been a great dish. The kraut was surprisingly good, one of the best I've had in awhile. Service, other than the initial delay was good and attentive. All in all, I would go there again, but probably order something different. Additionally, there pastries and cakes looked great, but we didn't have a chance to try them.

After a trip to Vienna, where I had tried some delicious food, I was reminiscing having those tastes again. I then happen to find this quaint little place that is the only authentic Austrian restaurant in London run by Austrian people and it definitely was proven. Deliciousss food, definitely worth the price as it was filling and savoury. Would recommend

It’s a lovely little restaurant just a few minutes from Angel Underground Station. The food is really tasty and the cakes are divine. My friend had the apple strudel - FULL of apples, unlike some other strudels I have tried around London. I had the “Maronitorte” (chestnuts) - very nice, but it had a VERY rich topping, I’d have had a Schnapps afterwards, but it was midday and a bit too early for that 😎 I also purchased some Austrian mustard to take home - very nice! Already planning my next visit 😁 PS I didn’t take photos of our lunch - the Rösti were great 👍

After 3 hours of walking along the New River pathway, we needed a good lunch. That’s exactly what we found in this typical Austrian restaurant. Super cool and friendly staff, we had a chance to chat with the waiter couple of times, super nice! The food is amazing and typical of what we experienced in St Anton in the Bavarian Alps 30 years ago. We went all the way with at the end a delicious hot chocolate with Austrian pastries. Totally decadent! We loved our time there and highly recommend it!

We had a wiener schnitzel with käsespetlze ( small supplement in place of potatoes)and sauerkraut with bacon to share between 2. I challenge anyone to find better in the Tyrol. The schnitzel coating was perfectly crisp and absolutely how it should be. And the kraut was soft and not salty or acidic. Highly recommended, especially washed down with the house Grüner Veltliner . We tried the Dubai Sachertorte for desert but I cannot personally recommend it. Stick to traditional Sachertorte or Apfel Strudel.

I can taste the good ingredients, matcha is definitely high grade. The coconut taro is also super delicious, just a little bit too sweet for me and quite expensive Their drinks are mid and overpriced, I recommend going to those stores that specializes in matcha

Kova’s Chinatown branch isn’t built for lingering, but that’s half the charm. Tucked into a tiny spot on Newport Court, this takeaway-only patisserie deals in Mille Crêpes, fluffy strawberry shortcake, and the kind of Matcha Tiramisu that will convert even the matcha-sceptics. No frills, no seats, and a queue that almost always snakes out the door. The matcha tiramisu is the real draw here, light layers of sponge and cream dusted generously with matcha. Rich, smooth, not overly sweet. One bite and you’ll understand the hype. Bubble tea options are stacked too, with customisation for sweetness and milk preference. I went classic and it hit the mark. Service is brisk and efficient, though staff definitely have their hands full with the foot traffic. No surprise, the cakes speak for themselves. If you need a seat, head 30 seconds deeper into Chinatown for some public benches. But really, this is a grab-and-go kind of place. Perfect for when your sweet tooth is calling and you’ve got places to be.

I had the pistachio cake which was good but pretty pricey for what it is. The cake is quite dense and you can taste the pistachio. Might come back to try some of the other flavors.

We had the Dubai chocolate crepe cake. It wad good, but for 8.8 pounds it was way too expensive.

They do some of the best bubble tea around. The dirty taro is our preferred one. Also, the cakes are outstanding. They're particularly good at the mille crepes. These crepe cakes are sandwiched together with a thin layer of cream between each crepe. Matcha mille crepe is popular, but the other flavours are also lovely. The matcha cake and strawberry shortcake are nice if you prefer more cake than mille crepe cake. The sea salt lava cake and matcha tiramisu are also ones to try.

I’ve been a regular customer and have usually enjoyed coming here, especially for my go-to order a Dirty Matcha boba with less ice. Unfortunately, my recent visit left me pretty disappointed. When I requested my usual less-ice version, I was told that the only options were either hot or full ice no in between. I was confused, especially since I've ordered it with less ice before without any issue. I ended up getting a cup hot drink full price of boba matcha instead which wasn’t what I wanted, and it felt like I paid full price for something that didn’t meet my expectations. It wasn’t just the drink the experience made me feel like my preferences didn’t matter. As a regular, that stung a bit. It’s unfortunate when a place you’ve supported can’t accommodate a small request or at least explain the policy clearly and kindly. This experienced really makes me upset and I guess will makes me long consider for next up visit.

As a sweet tooth, I will be a patron for their Tiramisu. The cake was a masterpiece, beyond this world. For those who are on diet, both the tiramisu and Sea Salt Cheese Lava were adequately sweet.

If you’ve ever wondered what happens when desserts decide to put on tuxedos and attend a gala, Donutlier is the answer 🎩🍩. The place screams “fancy” in every swirl of frosting and sprinkle of pistachio dust. Speaking of pistachio dessert - 😍 wow. That one really stole the show for me. Smooth, nutty, and just the right level of sweet. If Donutlier had a signature move, it’s definitely that pistachio creation. Now, would I come here every weekend? Probably not. It’s more of a “special craving” or “treat yourself” stop rather than your regular sugar fix. Still, if you’re a dessert lover, I’d say give it at least one try—you might just find yourself planning your next cheat day around it. Ratings: 🍴 Food: 4/5 🛎 Service & Ambience: 3.5/5 💸 Money’s Worth: 3/5

My son loves donuts so we had to give this place a try, from the outside it looks very inviting, and once you step in inside, it doesn't disappoint. The decor is really nice and quirky, i especially like the icing cone chandeliers. The donuts on display look insane! We tried the pistachio donut and a hot chocolate. The hot chocolate was so thick and creamy, very luxurious. One of the best I have had for a long time. The donut was very rich and interesting, but to complex for my son, who likes things simple in terms of flavors.

Second time visit within 2 weeks. First time I left them in the hotel room so never got to try the rest of what I bought. The donuts are delicious - it’s all very instagramable, but they’re packed full of flavour. Definite a worthwhile visit if you want to be bougie.

Elevating the humble donut / doughnut to high art, Donutelier are all about the style AND the substance. The donuts look a million dollars and actually taste as good as they look. Considering one Donutelier donut will cost you about the same as 20+ Sainsbury's raspberry jam ball donughts (the undisputed king of basic but yummy balls of deep fried goodness), but the choice is yours.

Donutelier offers a wonderful selection of pastries and donuts that are fresh and delicious. I tried the croissant with cream, which was flaky and light, perfectly complemented by the smooth cream. The atmosphere is cozy, making it a great spot to relax and enjoy a sweet treat. Friendly staff and great quality make it worth a visit for anyone with a sweet tooth.

Best doughnuts I have ever eaten. Absolutely fantastic and so, so tasty. Coffee was nice too. But if you are near here, you must visit. Amazing quality and so tasty.

BEAUTIFUL!! Omg this place is so good! They had 2 vegan options and they were delicious!😍 we had the chocolate swirl which was so tasty and the raspberry marzipan swirl which was beyond amazing! Both eaten within seconds. Highly recommend. Friendly servers too. Great location. Thanks! X

Best scones ever, buttery crumbly and as moist as scones go. Definitely worth a try. Original definitely takes the cake for us - Chocolate was a little strange and the one with raisins was way to crumbly (obviously as the structure had been compromised by the raisins). We got takeaway though and had to buy the clotted cream and jam separately so I knocked a star off. It was £1 each, quite expensive for the teeny tub that you get, not sure how it would've been if we ate in. It is quite a tiny store so not much seating but it is very cute and cozy, nestled in one of the streets in Notting Hill.

A super cute and colorful scone shop! When I arrived there were only 2–3 people in line, but after about 5 minutes the queue got really long. They have lots of scone flavors to choose from, but I wouldn’t recommend picking a sweet one (like I did🥲😂) since the jam they serve is already quite sweet. The clotted cream was amazing though! Seating is limited, so if you come with a group, I’d suggest getting take-away

Surprisingly lovely scones, come with cream and jam for the sweet ones and cream cheese and onion jam for the savoury ones. Service was friendly and atomised was great. However, pity about the coffee, I ordered a macchiato and it tasted sour, she must have burned the coffee...... but the scones were the main attraction here! Have try on your way to Notting Hill's Protobello Market.

Worth a visit if u are in Notting Hill for a day Famous for their great selection of scones Jam is hit and miss. Strawberry jam is surprisingly poor quality but Raspberry jame is much better. Tea or coffee was just ordinary.

This is my first experience of scone. It taste really superb especially with the cream. Love it! There are more seating on basement. A little crowd and small space. But worth for taste and price

I searched high and low across London for scones, and it seems as though they're not as plentiful as I thought they were. When we stopped at several bakeries and asked if they had scones we were told no, and then we asked if they knew where to find them, and most said they had no idea. Luckily, passing through Nottinghill we stumbled upon a "Cheeky" little bakery. I figured we would be lucky to find a place with one scone option, but this place had several. In fact, they specialize in them. The store isn't very large in size, but it is cozy and clean. The scones have a subtle flavor, and weren't nearly as dry as I anticipated. Each scone is not only appetizing, but it is very instagramable. Some tips: The line gets rather long, so, if there are multiple people in your party, I would consider sending one representative in to order. There isn't any seating outside the establishment, but if you walk a block or two you should be able to find lovely public benches to sit and enjoy this seemingly rare British treat. Cheers!!

Delicious scones with an array of daily flavors. They are served with clotted cream and your selection of jam. They also have a selection of coffee, tea, and cold beverages. They have plenty of seating upstairs and additional seating in the basement. Great stop for a treat on your way to or from Portobello Road Market.

Excellent, in a word. We were all a bit hungover and needed feeding and not any old thing. This place nailed it. Great anti pasta, the meatballs were phenomenal. And I'm not a meatball guy normally. Pizzas were generous is size. Good thin crusts. The burratta was particularly fresh and creamy. No hesitation in recommending the place. £90 for 4 pizzas, two anti pasta, 2 soft drinks and 1 glass of wine. Only thing is the wine ££ imo. It's nice but more than I expected.

Nice, well furnished and decorated place with Italian touch. I, along with the family, had a breakfast. In my opinion, there was not any innovative ideas or creativity in the food preparation or presentation. The taste was very normal and the service was average. For the high price charged, I see it doesn’t worth it.

Delicious Italian eats in the heart of London. Countless options, both sweet and savory. Friendly staff and lots of seating. Perfect spot for lunch and a drink!

Had three mini croissants for just 2.80 so not bad. The jam and chocolate one were very sweet though. The process of ordering was a bit confusing, I asked to sit by the window and I was told to order at the counter first. I did that and then was told I couldn't sit by the window area (to the right at it was the restaurant). It wasn't explained to me at first when I asked as I would have happily sat in the restaurant and get table service

We are really happy we stumbled upon this place while heading to a different restaurant for brunch. The decor and open ambiance was enough to draw us in. We ordered the oven roast Nduja and eggs and smoked salmon and eggs. The nduja was not what I expected it was even better. I highly recommend it if you are hungry and what flavour and spice. Food was delicious, service was great, loved the interior design.

One of my favorite breakfast spots when in London. Fantastic coffee, freshly in house baked pastries and breads and impeccably prepared eggs. Kool Italian contemporary decor of marble brass and glass, friendly staff and great people watching through the main full glass windows. Superb.

Great place for an authentic Italian aperitivo. Good selection of drinks /cocktails and variety of pizza. They also have some other variety of dishes, like vegetables, cheese, salads. Staff is welcoming, we were served by Denise very sweet Italian lady who made us feel "at home". Recommended if you are in the center for a drink and a quick bite.

Just had a special overnight stay with my daughter. It was the BEST hotel experience I have ever had. The room was perfect, the lighting is just right, the pillows and bed, you just fall into like a big cosy hug. It felt so homely but with the grand touch of The Dorchester. All of the interactions with the Dorchester team have been amazing, Anuar looked after us so well at breakfast, we didn’t want to leave. You should be proud of the special hospitality experience you have created. THANK YOU

The Dorchester truly stands in a league of its own — my absolute favourite hotel in the world! Every detail is perfection, and the staff go above and beyond to make every stay unforgettable. They clearly love what they do and genuinely care about creating magical moments for their guests. Our engagement night was made beyond special thanks to their thoughtfulness, and a huge shoutout to Michelle in Guest Experience for exceeding all expectations. A recent overnight stay with my daughter was just as incredible — the room was pure comfort and luxury, from the perfect lighting to the dreamy bed and pillows. It felt like a warm hug wrapped in elegance. Breakfast service was outstanding, with Anuar taking such wonderful care of us. The Dorchester team has created something truly extraordinary — a world-class hospitality experience that keeps you wanting to return again and again.

Every day is a joy at The Dorchester: Staying here is to experience the absolute best London has to offer in terms of a luxury hotel stay. This is a five star hotel to dress up for. Staff are warm, experienced and make guests feel like family. The Vesper Bar is more private club than hotel bar with world class cocktails and a great vibe, as is The Promenade where breakfast and an exceptional high tea is served. Breakfast is one of the highlights at any Dorchester property and this one is no exception. Healthy options, freshly made eggs and an array of pastries, fresh fruit, seeds, nuts, fresh juices and coffees that is breath taking. Rooms are spacious and beautifully decorated. Deep marble baths are perfect to unwind. Families and children are not only welcome but catered for. The whole hotel is bursting with fresh flowers, huge bunches adorn the lobby and even guest rooms have roses in vases. Dorchester guests can use the world class spa at 45 Park Lane next door, as well as the breakfast area for a different experience. I absolutely love this hotel. It is quite simply extraordinary.

One of my favorite hotels in London. Everything exceeded my expectations, from the warm hospitality and excellent service to the delicious food and beautifully maintained rooms. The staff went above and beyond to make the experience special, and I would highly recommend this hotel to anyone looking for a memorable stay.

We had an amazing afternoon tea experiences. Also room was amazing. Service is just perfect! Not every 5 star hotel can show this in London.

Planned a trip here for my 90 year old Mother 9/11/2025 she went in 1956 with my late Father on their honeymoon and sat on the wall because they couldn’t afford to go in but not this time a amazing lady called Mikeala ( hopefully I’ve spelt her name right )arranged it for us with earlier planning with my Daughter to come out to us n relive the memory and invite us in for afternoon tea she was given a rose n a birthday cake it was amazing and took us all for a back of hotel tour after,just spectacular nothing was to much trouble highly recommended fantastic stunning hotel and amazing staff my Mother will never forget this day thank you Mikeala and all the staff 5 star but would give more if I could x

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ A truly fantastic experience at The Dorchester We had a fantastic stay at The Dorchester. Every member of the team went above and beyond — their attention to detail made our visit absolutely perfect. A special mention to Bobby, the porter, who was unbelievably helpful and made everything effortless from start to finish. The location is ideal, the service impeccable, and the atmosphere exactly what you’d expect from one of London’s finest hotels. Highly recommend staying here!

Finally popped by WA Cafe after it being on my list for ages! 📍 The location is quite small, so we waited a bit to sit inside, but the staff were super understanding and friendly about it 😊. Once seated, the team was absolutely lovely 💛—warm, attentive, and made ordering a breeze. I had the Matcha Tiramisu. Out. Of. This. World. 🌍✨ A true piece of edible art 🎨—rich, light yet dense, with layers that danced between textures and flavours. A dream for any matcha lover! 😍 My friend was equally obsessed with the Strawberry shortcake 🧼 The space is cute, clean, and cozy. 💸 Is it pricey? Yes. ✅ Is it worth it? Absolutely. Already planning my next visit and recommending it to everyone I know! 🙌

This place was recommended by a friend, so I decided to pay a visit while I was in Covent Garden. I arrived at around 11:40 AM, and a few tables were already occupied. They had a lovely display of cakes. I ordered the chicken spring onion toast, and for my drink, I chose the hot matcha tea. The tea tasted fine. If you wish to hang out with girls or have a quiet moment for yourself, this one place definitely right for you. Staff are very friendly.

WA Cafe offers both takeaway and dine-in options you can walk in to order for takeaway, but if you want a table, you’ll need to queue outside. The service is good, but the real reason I keep coming back is the cake! It’s perfectly balanced delicious and not too sweet, just melts in your mouth. I’ve been there many times, and it never disappoints. Highly recommend if you’re looking for amazing cakes and great matcha you must try WA Cafe!

Cake here are one of the best I have try in my life. Very soft and delicate! Not too sweet. The drink was delicious and very pretty too. I love their hot chocolate👌🏻🍫 Highly recommend !!!

I went there for a collab with skincare brand Anua recently and discovered the branch in Covent Garden which was quaint. Plug sockets everywhere. Nice friendly staff. Make a mean matcha latte 😎👌 Cakes vary from £5.50-7 tho bear in mind that there is a £2 to eat in. If you take any they provide you eith a gorgeous paper bag for free to take your cake away. Tip: Gets busy after 12noon so aim for before or after

I visited today hoping to relax and enjoy some pastries, but I didn’t feel comfortable at all. I wasn’t allowed to charge my phone, while another customer who arrived after me was given permission. Because of that, my phone died and I ended up stuck on my way back. It felt unfair and unwelcoming. I came to experience Japanese culture, but I left disappointed. I won’t be coming back and don’t recommend it.

Amazing amazing amazing!! Such a fantastic patisserie, I really felt transported with the Japanese flavours. I got a white sesame cheese and my friend got a matcha roll. For drinks we got iced ume cha (plum tea) and iced yuzu cha (yuzu tea). Everything was so light and fluffy and delicious! I adored the plum tea, and it's been so long since I've had plum flavoured things in England it was a delight. They also sell pastries like shokupan (milk bread), creampan, curry bun, honey toast and melon pan. I will definitely be back to try some pastries and breads! There's seating inside for maybe 15-20 people, the seats are very low and comfortable, and the interior is very chic and airy.

I’m not usually a fan of pastries, but this café is something else. Soft and fluffy inside, with a crisp golden crust — absolutely delicious. Honestly, I’m glad it’s not right next to my home, otherwise I’d be eating these pastry every day! The atmosphere is cozy, the coffee is excellent, and the staff are friendly. Definitely worth a visit

A small store offering own brand merchandise, some fine baked goods, and delicious coffee with good service. The passion fruit bow is custardly good.

Really yummy passion fruit ribbon! The babka was also good but drier than i like. Tea not as fragrant as i’d like but the pastries made up for it

5* coffee with absolutely perfect milk, which is certainly not always the case even in coffee shops. Bought a sourdough - their loaves look great - but haven’t tried it yet. Lovely chilled and welcoming atmosphere. Hidden gem! EDIT: Tried the sourdough and had to go back the next day to get more. DELICIOUS

I arrived at the cute bakery around 9.30am on Sunday morning. There was positive energy radiating from the staff inside. 😍 Their friendly attitude and positive energy warmed my heart.💞 It is definitely a very welcoming Bakery 💖 there is a very nice smell of bread inside and everything is fresh. Cereal Milk Cookie is a different and wonderful taste.👌 Everything is fresh and perfect.🤤👏 The staff, the flavors, everything is 10/10👌 I will definitely come back again❤️🥰

Was recommended this place and will definitely be returning. They have a fantastic range of pastries for a little bakery which were all delicious and buttery. My favourite was the doughnut which was sugary and soft and flavourful without being too sweet. I haven’t yet had a chance to try the bread but I will go back to do so. My only comment was for the eaten mess bun the icing didn’t go the whole way through the bun. I believe this is human error tho as I have seen on their Instagram others do and for that I won’t impact the star rating.

An absolute gem of a bakery, friendly staff, great selection AND a bread slicer. Their cruffins were among the best I’ve sampled at any bakery, with immaculate layers. I got there at around 11.30 and everything was fresh and still warm.

This depends completely what you’re going to have. Croissant was such a waste of money, 3.75£ for no butter flavour or layers, how do you even call it a croissant?? The sourdough bread was excellent on the other hand. Honestly they should just remove the croissant from the selection and they would have gotten 5 stars from here. A smile in the service wouldn’t hurt either.

I have visited Sweden a few times and one of my favourite things besides the lovely people are the delicious cakes and pastries. So I was really pleased to find out there was a branch of Fabrique in my area. Their signature cardamom and cinnamon buns are delicious and definitely recommended. However, my personal favourites have to be the almond and blueberry buns. They are the perfect weekend treat. The staff at this particular branch are also great. They are friendly and happy to answer questions and make general chat if they are not busy serving customers. My only request would be that I would love if Fabrique also served more traditional Swedish cakes like their bakeries in Sweden. I am sure the British public would love the Princess Cake.

We got the chocolate chip cookie which was a bit pricey and it tasted nice, but it could’ve been heated up and made to be softer. The interior is warm with nice music but the floors are a bit dirty and there is a limited seating area (one long bench only, no chairs).

Very cute bakery. The buns are amazing! I wanted to try everything. The vanilla bun is very nice!

Located right by Portobello Market in London, is a cool spot we tried. We had this almond Danish there, and honestly, it was amazing. It was packed with fillings, had a bit of a cardamom taste to it, and was super fresh. You could even smell the fresh sourdough they sell, which was nice. The only downside was that there weren’t many places to sit. It got pretty busy, and we ended up waiting around 5-10 minutes to get a seat. But if you don’t mind a short wait, it’s definitely worth checking out. The pastries are top-notch.

I love a good cinnamon bun, so when I stopped by the Notting Hill Fabrique today, that was the first thing I went for. It was spot on — perfectly baked, great flavour, and exactly what I wanted. And once I tried the cinnamon bun, I couldn’t resist picking up some bread as well. The rye with walnuts and cranberries has a deep flavour, the walnuts add a nice bite, and the cranberries give it that bit of sweetness. The half-white, half-brown sourdough is just a great everyday loaf, light but with that proper sourdough tang, and a really good crust. If you’re near Notting Hill, it’s worth stopping in. I’m already planning my next visit.

Absolutely great place for morning coffee with a fresh bun (the cardamom bun was my favorite) or croissant. Keep in mind that to-go prices are much lower than those for eating in the cafe. No wi-fi there.
