My gosh. The lemon ripple raspberry cake is incredible. The red velvet is to be eaten, but I'm sure it will also be fantastic! Glad I visited here. Put it on your to-do list.

Reminiscent of my childhood bday parties. Best cupcakes in London - sticky hands down. The selection is tantalizing! Cupcakes & cakes are rich and delicious forget about pricey it's The Hummingbird!💜

Moist and light American cupcakes with generous dollops of creamy icing. The South Kensington branch is relatively small - better to eat your cupcakes on the go or save for home (if you can)

Everyone talks about the red velvet but it's honestly the black bottom cupcake that's to die for with that amazing filling❤❤❤

Nice Red Velvet Cakes! Only downside is that there's only one table and a counter seating with 6 stools! Think they should have more tables or open a proper cafe!

I just love their cupcakes! Especially the red velvet. I've also ordered birthday cakes from them before and they were excellent.
Joe NixonJuly 23, 2016
A whole cake slice is probably too much for one person! I'd get a cupcake next time instead. It lives up to the hype though.

Red velvet here is great. And I've tried a lot of red velvets in my life. Try the pumpkin woopie pie to change things up!

Great cupcakes. Terrible cheesecake.
NetbushDecember 23, 2016
It was the worst red velvet I've tried. Frosting too sweet, overall too dry (maybe it was yesterday's?). Same for salted caramel. Disappointing.
Ahdab MahdalyJuly 26, 2016
Was surprised how many good reviews this place got! The cake is pretty average 😳
