    Great cakes, the lemon cake is exceptional. Also good to just come and sit out as you enjoy some treats on a summer day.

    This is my new favourite coffee place! A quaint little spot in busy East London, with incredible customer service - you have to try the feta scone!

    Judging by the majority of the responses on here, this is the place for the best cupcakes. I have not visited (yet) but I am going to make the mango buttercream recipe (again) by Claire Ptak for my sons birthday cake this weekend. I give the recipe 5 stars. I finally bought a couple of the raspberry cupcakes today. What a disappointment. They were expensive and had a tiny amount of buttercream on them. For that sort of price a bit of fresh raspberry might have made a difference. Cakes are also left out on the counter all day without any covering and attempt to keep them fresh.

    Visited on my partner's birthday as she followed them on social media. We had one of their scones, a kimchi and stilton toastie and some mango cupcakes. The food was all really good, but I ordered some salad that when I asked after it, I was told only comes as an additional side to the quiche. Not a huge deal, but would have preferred to have been told at the counter when ordering.

    Really nice coffee and the seating outside is nice if it’s warm. The scones are the best I’ve ever had and I give the 5 stars just for those alone.
