My first review straight from the mobile app... What?!?…read more Anyway, this bakery is nice and quaint. Lots of pastries for a fat lady as myself to love. The ladies behind the counter were nice enough to answer each question about each goody. My eyes are bigger than my stomach and my stomach is freaking humongous like a mofo. We ended up getting a chocolate cake, variety of cookies, hybrid donut/muffin, a tarty tart, and my favorite European bake good, a marzipan truffle roll. Why can't I find a marzipan truffle roll in the States?! If you know where I can find such delectable treat, please holla at cha girl! This place is popping, I would go back if I could. Tip... Cash only, so bring lots of pounds!!! Wish I took a picture, but I couldn't resist the shit.

I should really start getting all my bread from these guys again as it was lovely and superbly cheap for fresh baked deliciousness. In the mornings they have little breakfast things like croissants and pain au chocolats and sausage rolls and bacon sandwiches and all are gloriously inexpensive. They also have a whole load of filled rolls and will make odd things if you have particular requests. The Chelsea buns are very nice and the tea cakes also. Oh, and the custard tarts. And the breads are great. I even blogged about my experiences of Forrest the Baker here: http://suffersforhersins.blogspot.com/2006/02/bakers-dozen.html

Very bad customer service would not recommend you having a cake designed from this shop as it's not worth the money

I don't have a sweet tooth, I have sweet TEETH. :D…read more This is a solid place to grab a slice of heaven. My favorites have to be the lemon raspberry cake, the red velvet (their best seller) and the the rainbow cake...in that order. I have yet to try any of their whoopie pies because they sell out so fast! I find the staff to be awfully nice and great conversation starters despite the usually hectic environment of customers with their mini-me's. The cakes are moist, rich and not too sweet. It's a pretty intense experience biting into the red velvet for the first time if you ask me. Just because a place is lacking enough tables during peak business hours (maybe do takeaway?), is crowded with kids (what did you expect from a shop selling such delicious sweets?) and the sweets offered are on the pricey side (if you eat this often, yes - if so, I'm more worried about your health than the finance bit if you don't make this a once-in-a-while treat), it should not affect the rating based on the overall quality and service. If you are still hung up over the price, there is a Tesco down the street where the bakery goods are edible and the quality questionable. Overall, Hummingbird is a great place to stop by as a fantastic treat and I recommend takeaway (you save about a pound), walk the 8 minutes to the river and enjoy it with good company.

We ordered three things and split them between us: a red velvet cupcake, a chocolate peanut butter whoopie pie, and a slice of rainbow cake. Her favorite was the red velvet, I was in love with the dark chocolate and whipped peanut butteryness of the whoopie pie, and we both liked the rainbow cake but thought it was just TOO much. It had a kind of tutti-fruiti flavour, and between that and the bajillion layers and all the frosting, it was just too sweet for us. We were defeated by one slice of cake and couldn't finish it. My recommendation to Hummingbird would be to sell the cakes in smaller slices and charge less for them, because it was not cheap. It also didn't help that there were tons of kids constantly running around and pushing past us the majority of the hour and a half or so that we were there chatting. Not a calm kind of place to hang out. But still, solid baking - I'd probably recommend the cupcakes for takeaway, but the cake slices are just too big.

This is a lovely cake shop that not only sells some other cool stuff (jams, biscuits, pasta sauces…read moreetc) but also has a coffee shop at the back where you can get to eat all the yummy stuff you see in the window. This place is set along rochester high street, and is well worth a look in. I was pleasently surprised with the prices - it isn't as expensive as it looks. You can also grab some lunch there too as it sells sandwiches to go with all the nice unhealthy cakes. The staff are lovely and friendly. Just remember to order at the counter otherwise you may find yourself sitting there for a while!
