It's a small space, about the size of a coffee shop with no seating. I asked which options were gluten free and they only had two cupcake flavors. Had hoped there would be a bigger selection.

After that 1 bite of their brownie, we were HOOKED! That brownie was probably the best I've ever had in my life. The texture was ooey gooey fudge like with still a slight cakeiness to hold it together, big, high quality chocolate chunks, and not overly sweet. I still dream about that brownie to this day! I just wish they could expand this bakery to the USA because this place would win over the hearts of many! What's even cooler is that they sold their own cookbook with a lot of their recipes inside. Thank you for inventing the perfect brownie, I'll be back again next time I find myself in London.

Stumbled upon some awesome brownies!…read more We walked up to this store after strolling around Borough Market, and there was a girl at the store front offering samples. We tried their brownies, and knew we immediately had to buy some to take home! Perfect in texture, and not annoyingly too sweet, the chocolate chip brownie was a perfect afternoon pick-me-up. They had other goodies like cakes and such that we didn't try, but we'd love to visit again when in town!

I am absolutely obsessed with their cupcakes…read more Obviously I can't sit and eat a box of 6 although I'm sure someone out there can so I order them individually. There's a wide variety of options to pick from including ones that are holiday themed depending on the holiday. Then there's the classic options such as chocolate tiramisu. You can either purchase individually or a box of 6,12 or 24 and yes you do get a discount the more you purchase. They're pretty affordable around £3 for the big ones. Plus the packaging is so cute. The flavours and perfect. Not too rich that each bite hurts but no to bland. Each bite is worth it. They're soft and moist too. Because of covid, I took mine to go and had it 5 hrs after purchase. Still soft and yummy.

This place is tiny, filled with tons of baked goods a treats. Ordered two cappuccinos & 2 mini cupcakes, a hazelnut one and red velvet.

Thanks to Yelp, I found the branch of Konditor and Cook bakery closest to the theatre. The entire staff was very helpful over the telephone and via email as well as live chat. They delivered an elaborately decorated Curly-Whirly cake to the Globe right on time. My daughter and the other members of her troupe all agreed it was one of the best tasting cakes they'd experienced I am looking forward to visiting the store next month when we visit our daughter in London. The only reason I didn't give it five stars is because it was somewhat pricey with dollars vs. pounds. I would recommend this bakery for any American who has someone overseas in London and needs a cake for a special occasion.

I tried a Strawberry rhubarb cupcake, chocolate chip cookie and vanilla almond Sheet cake slice. I really liked the flavor of the frosting on the cupcake but it was a little chalky. The rhubarb but was amazing. The chocolate chip cookie was the best thing I ate - really good. The vanilla cake slice was solid. Overall, I wanted it to be better, and I'm sure it was a few years ago. But it was decent enough and outdoor seating in great weather was a vibe!

My only regret…read moreis I wish I had more people with me or I wish I was hungrier cuz I really wanted to order ALLLL the pastries! My husband and I decided to try for a table and we ended up waiting about 45 min - 1 hour to sit. There was a super short line for to-go pastries (and sometimes there was no line), so if you're pressed for time, definitely do that! I love how the Arome workers help move the line along and help people in line find tables. Also speaking of Arome, the AROMA was fantastic! It smelled to buttery and fantastic both inside and while waiting in line. I ended up trying: the iconic Honey Butter Toast, Black Sesame Mochi Cookie, and Almond and Chocolate Croissant, a Savory Croissant (I think Sausage and Cheese), a Chai, and a Matcha. Everything was SO GOOD. All the pastries were amazing. I'm glad we got a mix of sweet and savory things. Everything we had was buttery, flaky, intentional, and made with love. What you'll like the most will depend on your personal flavor preferences! Definitely give this place a try!

Anyway, we took a full 15 minutes to choose and the lovely lady in the shop didn't rush us and even took her time to tell us all the different cake types. We decided to take a few to go and I was really suprised to find that they were a snip of the price of Candy Cakes stuff (that's the place that sells amazing looking cakes a few streets away). The cakes look lovely here, really homepage and made with care. There are two different sizes of cake yet even the large ones aren't too big for you to finish and if you're a little piggy like me you can probably eat two! They also do really cute baby cup cakes. So what makes this place so special, The cakes are good, really good. They are moist (yes I used that word) and really good flavours, I had a carrot cake cup cake to die for... They do nice tea too and even have a little sitting area. £2 cup cakes - score!

I appreciate the pastel colors of the cupcake frosting as well as the simplistic decor, whether light sprinkles or an intricate fondant flower to top things off. The cake is a bit on the dry side, think cornbread consistency, and just sort of crumbled in my mouth. I went with simple vanilla, and the frosting was phenomenal, and not overwhelming in sweetness or quantity--so the cake to frosting ratio was near perfect. Service was a little odd... when I asked if I could select my cupcake from a tray beneath the glass, I was told straight away, "Yes, but don't touch any of them, okay?" I hadn't planned to, nor had I previously touched anything, so it was a bit strange to be told this as a grown adult.

Mmmmm......Donuts! (Said in the voice of Homer Simpson.)…read more They do donuts so righteous here. As we were walking around Borough Market we saw the line for Bread Ahead and realized it was for the donut stand they had outside along the street. We had to jump on line and drool over the display of sugary goodness. We each tried a different donut and was not disappointed! So many varieties to choose from - coconut, lemon curd, blackcurrant cheesecake, seasalt caramel and honeycomb, and others. They don't skimp on the fillings as each bite was flavorful. Yum!

After finishing the food tour, I came back for another one, the Pistachio Doughnut. The Crème Brûlée Doughnut was the clear winner. Presentation-wise, it looked just like a real crème brûlée, complete with its beautifully caramelized top. The filling was rich, silky, and creamy without being overly sweet. The dough itself was light, soft, and not greasy or overly bready, making it a fantastic combination. This one is an absolute must-try. The Tiramisu Doughnut had a nice creamy filling, but it didn't quite capture the classic tiramisu flavor. As for the Pistachio Doughnut, the filling was smooth and creamy, but I could barely taste any pistachio, which was a little disappointing. Service was quick, efficient, and well organized despite the line. The setup is simple: queue up, place your order, pay, and enjoy. Overall, the Crème Brûlée Doughnut is the standout and definitely worth ordering. It's the one I'd come back for again. :)
