Best Cupcakes in London: Lola’s Cupcakes, West Hampstead
Lola’s Cupcakes offer their delicious cupcakes everywhere in London, from London Bridge to West Hampstead, and my favorite branch is the latter.
Actually, beyond a simple Lola’s Cupcakes stand, the West Hampstead bakery is actually called Lola’s Bakery.
There, you can sit, have fun, or use it as a nice background if you’re ever looking for nice places to write in London.
I lived in West Hampstead for a couple of months, and if you’re ever looking for cute villages inside London, I’d recommend walking to Hampstead after your cupcakes.
Not only are those creamy, but the walk to Hampstead Heath promises to be full of perfect photo spots.
Best Luxury Cupcakes in London: Hummingbird Bakery, Spitalfields
Hummingbird Bakery is one of the first bakeries in London I visited a few years ago, for my first birthday in London.
I absolutely loved every single one of their cupcakes (I got a handful and a beautiful hot chocolate) in the shop close to Old Spitalfields Market.
Old Spitalfieds and Liverpool Street are to me some of the most beautiful neighborhoods in London, so if the weather is nice, that’s a walk you could do.
And if you’re ever after the best rainbow cakes in London, Hummingbird Bakery is also the spot to visit.
The South Kensington branch is also a really cute one, nestled in one of the most attractive posh areas in London – a must visit when checking out the surroundings!
Best Cupcakes in London: Crumbs & Doilies, Soho
Nestled in one of the most secret food courts in London, Kingly Court, Crumbs & Doilies is another must visit when it comes to cupcakes.
Those creamy, moist, and tender cupcakes in London are probably one of the best things to buy when you’re in town.
Picture this: you’re right in the heart of one of the most colorful places in London, right off Carnaby Street, and you’re enjoying a hot chocolate with a couple of Crumbs & Doilies cupcakes.
If there’s anything worth a whole visit to London, it’s the cream on these.
A decadent treat close to some of the most unique shops in London, with the incredible Irregular Choice tickling Kingly Court, too!
Best Cupcakes in London: Vida Bakery, Brick Lane
Vida Bakery on Brick Lane is one of the most decadent vegan bakeries in London, and when it comes to color, they are pros.
The bakery is quite small, but it’s a nice rest when you’ve been checking out the street art in Brick Lane for an hour.
Whether you’re looking for the best vegan cupcakes in London, rainbow cakes, or just a nice place to write in London, the tiny bakery feels oh-so-inspiring.
If you’ve been on The Working Line before, you probably also know I love red velvet cakes.
Well, Vida Bakery is another spot to get delicious red velvet cake in London, tasty, fluffy, and really comfortable.
The perfect battery charger before wandering off to the markets in Shoreditch!
