Lizzie PApril 6, 2016I'm a big red velvet fan and after sampling all the different types (cake slice, brownie, cupcake, whoopie pie) the red velvet cupcake is hands down the yummiest!

N AJune 4, 2017My favourite cakes! The rainbow and lemon raspberry ripple cakes in particular. Although afternoon tea here is a bit too much cake for me.

Dylan LoweJuly 19, 2012Bit of a no brainer this: the aviary temptress is always luring in passers-by, diners with spare stomach space and hardcore fans. Red velvet cakes, I swear on my sweet palates, some of the best.Upvote2Downvote- Gabriel Marine 👍July 24, 2018Delicious Italian Ily coffee ☕️and huge variety of delicious cupcakes 😋. Take the mix plate ... yummy yummy.

DavinaAugust 26, 2013I tried the red velvet cupcake as the obvious choice. It was good. REALLY good. But it was the pumpkin whoopie pie that wowed me. You must eat this. Just wow.Upvote1Downvote

Lani LamNovember 7, 2013Rainbow cake a fierce competitor to the red velvet. All the layers have different flavours. Tastes amaze and looks fabulous.

Bethan HamiltonFebruary 23, 2014Friendly and helpful staff. The 'Made Without' vanilla cupcakes are really good. Not dry like gluten free cakes can often be :) wish I'd had two!UpvoteDownvote
Andrew MarksJuly 31, 2015Buy your cake and walk over to Soho Square to sun with all the other bohemians. Lemon raspberry cake was lovely.UpvoteDownvote

New York HabitatMay 15, 2012Try the red velvet cake or carrot cake and be sure to also order a glass of ice-cold milk: it goes great with the cupcakes!UpvoteDownvote
GuyMay 6, 2018Really amazing cake! The slices could do with being smaller as I couldn't finish it all. Also, despite serving drinks, there's no toilets.UpvoteDownvote
The service is polite but poor in summary. A girl asked me 3 times what I want (carrot cake), brought a cupcake. I told her for a 4th time I want to eat carrot cake, she brought it for takeaway... LOLUpvoteDownvote

Dasha LavrikApril 17, 2013Red velvet, black button and carrot cake cupcakes are my personal favourites. For those who don't like it too sweet.UpvoteDownvote
Cupcakes are awesome. But share the Devil's Chocolate cake with a friend for true indulgence!Upvote1Downvote
Rachael FloodAugust 15, 2014The panettone cupcake is out of this world! The custard frosting is a revelation.UpvoteDownvote

FlorSeptember 1, 2012Staring at a wall while eating your cupcake? Go instead to enjoy your treat to Soho Square and save some pennies too.Upvote1Downvote
Best Red Velvet in town! And the slice is huge! Totally worth it!Upvote1Downvote
Kelsey HayesNovember 5, 2010A little hard to find with the construction blocking it, but yummy! Everyone's raving about the red velvet, but go on a Friday and get the cola cupcakes. Mmm!UpvoteDownvote
Gigi ZackeryNovember 9, 2013Their New Christmas flavors are Must! Gingerbread/Christmas pudding cupcakes!UpvoteDownvote
Frances BerrimanApril 9, 2013Key lime pie cupcake (special on Sunday) is not good as it doesn't actually taste of much. Red velvet or vanilla are safer bets.UpvoteDownvote
Gabka KrehelovaMarch 10, 2014Great coffee and cupcakes, cheaper if you take away. No toilets inside ;)UpvoteDownvote
TJuly 14, 2013They do gluten free vanilla cupcakes. They even have gluten free red velvet cupcakes.UpvoteDownvote

"A quaint little spot to sit with a coffee and the paper in the morning or fight for a patch of the grass at lunchtime in summer. Its both shabby and charming and thats a-okay for me!"
