Best Cake Places in London Borough of Hackney

"London’s first ice cream parlour made using liquid nitrogen, Chin Chin Labs is best known for their bold flavours, big scoops and scientific methods. The team wanted to create something which hadn’t been explored before and it’s certainly done the trick because they now boast three outposts in London. Designed as a grab-and-go pit stop, their ice creams are great for scoring a ‘gram worthy image and fuelling you on your Sunday stroll around the city."

"Chin Chin pioneered the use of liquid nitrogen to make ice cream in a retail setting when it opened its first ice cream ‘lab’ in Camden Lock in 2010. Its founders were convinced that hand churning with liquid nitrogen was better than any other method, and they had stumbled on the future of ice cream. Nowadays, the company has grown to three locations and over 300 innovative flavours, from sweetcorn to wild blueberry to coffee and olive oil."

"For something a little different, head to Chin Chin Labs, the go-to parlour for liquid nitrogen ice cream in London. Watch as your dessert is frozen to order using a dash of liquid nitrogen, and select from an exciting array of weekly-changing flavours at this cool cafe in Camden."

"Tucked away in the residential neighbourhood of Belgravia, Peggy Porschen is my all-time favourite bakery in London if we were to base judgements on looks alone. The gorgeous and girly pink bakery is an Instagram photo waiting to happen, and when you step inside you’ll be spoilt for choice with even more pastels and pink!. I’d recommend the sugar cookies for both cuteness and being delicious!"

"Peggy Porschen is the perfect example of how Instagram can make a place famous. With the pink exterior and floral decorations photos of Peggy Porschen have exploded and gone viral on social media. It’s such a famous Instagram location that while we were there we saw another blogger buy a cupcake, take photos with it, then walk away without even eating it!"

"No round up of the best photo spots in London would be complete without a mention of Peggy Porschen. This beautiful bakery is one of the most Instagrammable London restaurants. Painted in a delicate pink hue, it has regularly changing floral displays."

"Gerhard Jenne developed a taste for the sweet stuff growing up in Freiburg, Germany, inspired by his mother’s baking. He trained as a pastry chef – or konditor – in Munich, before heading to London, where he made a name for himself creating cakes for the rich and famous – Tina Turner and the Rolling Stones were among his clientele. In 1993, Jenne set up his own bakery in Waterloo: Konditor & Cook, which went on to become one of London’s best cake makers."

"Celebrating 25 years of moist bakes, Konditor & Cook is one of London’s most beloved cake shop chains. Providing not only rich, delicious cakes that are baked using the finest natural ingredients, Konditor & Cook offers a range of indulgent brownies, decedent tarts and delightfully naughty biscuits. Celebrity endorsed and as fun as it is mouth-watering, this should be on everyone’s culinary bucket list."

"Established in Waterloo in 1993, Konditor & Cook now have a legendary status in London as the makers of delicious, beautiful cakes using only the finest natural ingredients. For your work party, try one of the sharing platters or tray bakes. The peach and raspberry crumble looks amazing and is perfect for summer gatherings – if I was at your work do, you’d have to fight me for it."

"The go-to destination for those looking for some tasty plant-based pancakes, Megan's serve up their signature dish of vegan pancakes with chia yoghurt, maple syrup and pistachios for Shrove Tuesday.

"There is nothing even slightly fancy or instagrammable about The Brownie Box. The Earl’s Court location on Old Brompton Road is right next to a bus stop and the tables outside are noisy and liberally fumigated with auto exhaust. The tables inside are old fashioned and formica topped, the floor linoleum."

"They say: ‘Premium, handmade cheesecakes and desserts delivered to your door.’. The sweet stuff: You thought you knew cheesecake?. Unless you’ve seen this site, you did not."

"Vanilla cake with coffee chocolate – rich but not too strong – and two hugely generous layers of light, mega fluffy mascarpone, plus cocoa powder to finish. London farmers’ markets"

"The one by Garden at 120 This healthy grab-and-go restaurant is famous for its Field Trays; flavour-packed proteins with your choice of grains, salads and sides all dished up in a compartmentalised tray for less than £8. A different day brings with it a different combination; pair your harissa chicken with brown rice, cavalo nero and bean salad and a tarragon dressing, or match grilled salmon fillets with pesto, sweet potato chips and wilted greens. The offerings are just that little bit different compared to most takeaway joints in the City, lending from Middle Eastern, Mediterranean and Asian cuisines."

"Hidden below street level in the swishy Hari Hotel, stepping into Il Pampero feels like stepping back into to a bygone era of Italian glamour, all white tablecloths, deep green furnishings, low lighting and charming Italian waiters. It’s elegant without being ostentatious, and the leather-clad window booths add an important touch of cosiness (perfect for a date). The glamorous central bar is irresistible for a classic Italian aperitivo (beware the deliciously strong Negroni) before sitting down to a feast of antipasti that include beef carpaccio with generous shavings of black truffle and surprisingly moreish fried scamorza (smoked cheese) bites served on a bed of radicchio with balsamic vinegar."

"Restaurants Australian Kew. Brunch at Antipodea is an Aussie affair. Sipping your flat white in the conservatory-style dining room, you could almost be in Melbourne."

"22/06/2021: Brilliantly lively brunch place that chills down for the evening. Menu's a great mix of hearty Aussie food and lighter options, plus all the cocktails are Australian too. Love me a Ramsey Street Spritz!"
