The Hummingbird Bakery - Spitalfields - London

The cakes are sublime. The red velvet cupcake, in particular, is the best I've ever had (I'm a connoisseur, trust me). But it's a shame that the location of the bakery is so hidden and that the service is a bit impersonal and unfriendly. I still go back regularly though, because no other bakery in London does a red velvet like that.

The portions of the cakes are really big and there are some interesting choices, but they were very sugary especially the frostings (we tried the chocolate and lemon raspberry ones). However, the cakes themselves, excluding the frostings, are good especially the lemon raspberry cake. The staff is friendly and welcoming. There's no space to sit inside, so you'll have to eat outside on the already set tables though it's a bit chilly nowadays.

Tried few different cupcakes and found them all overpriced for what they are. We tried red velvet, vanilla, chocolate and nut and cookie and cream and non of them outstanding and we couldn’t finish some of them and have to through them away as they were a bit dry. Find it weird as well that the price wasn’t clearly marked.

This establishment serves the best cupcakes and cakes baked fresh in-house. They are absolutely delicious with subtle yet refreshing flavours. There's coffee available here as well freshly brewed. Even though it's a bit pricey, it is definitely worth trying out the pastries offered here. Staff are very helpful and attentive as well.

I ordered a red velvet cake through uber eats. It looked nice but tasted absolutely terrible. The cream cheese was hard and extremely sweet. The sponge was as dry as it can get (there is no way this cake was fresh). Completely unacceptable especially taking into account its price tag.

I was searching for cakes near this area and happened to stumble upon Hummingbird. We were lucky to grab the carrot cake for a birthday cake. It was on a first come first serve basis if you want to buy the displayed cakes (whole cake).

There were lots of people and you could see their staff as well, decorating or frosting the cupcakes.

The carrot cake was lovely. It has the right balance of ingredients, from walnut, carrot, frosting and cinnamon. I enjoyed it!

Shocking from start to finish. These were ment to be a treat for a special womans birthday. Not only so much confusion with the online ordering and lack of options for customer service. The cupcakes arrived with the sprinkles absolutely all over both boxes, not surprised as they were delivered on their side.

We ordered a delivery of a red velvet cake and the presentation and customer service is incredible. However we were a bit disappointed with the texture as it was hard to eat, the icing was the only part of the cake that felt fresh and yummy. Which was a bit gutting as the cake looked incredible!
