Cake Boutique

This cake shop is just a few blocks from my flat. My boyfriend and I found it when we were looking for a nice local café with free wifi.
The place is bright and cheerful with some cute decorations on the walls. The owner who served us was very friendly. The price was pretty reasonable compared to Café Nero or Costa…
There were so many enticing sweets in the glass case. We tried ordering an apple strudel and strawberry tart with a pot of chamomile tea. As we had them while working on the laptops, we eventually finished all of them. I went back to the counter and noticed there were more desserts on the side glass shelf. So we also ended up having a piece of honey chocolate cake and lemon cake. The lemon cake was a little too sweet, but overall everything was nice. We had a great Sunday afternoon :)

A bright and cheerful tea and cakes store unexpectedly situated on the quieter end of Lavender Hill (towards Wandsworth Rd).
This cake shop is pretty close to home and being a sweet tooth and all, I just had to find an excuse to swing in and try out their coffee and cakes. We ordered a slice of carrot cake (for brekkie, no less); a latte and a double espresso.
What came out was a generous slab of carrot cake, which even 2 people couldn’t finish (mind you my friend is usually not known to leave any crumbs remaining on his plate)! My latte was ok — I’d describe it as better than your generic chains (Nero, Costa etc) but not as good as nearby local cafes like Esca or the Pavement.
Price wise, it came out just under £8 — which is pretty decent, if you’re feeling peckish and just wanna sit in a warm little shop with cute and interesting xmas ornaments (also for sale) as well as weird but wonderful framed mirrors and other home decorations that you wouldn’t normally expect to find in a café/​tea-​room, but hey, its London and anything goes.
I’d certainly come back here for a lazy Sunday coffee, armed with a novel or the Sunday paper and next time, I will not leave before the last bit of cake crumb is polished from the plate.
Oh and the service was very good, notwithstanding the waitress was working on her own, she deftly served, made us coffee and then made sure we were satisfied with everything.
