Loads of different coloured cupcakes all waiting just to be eaten.. by you.. So get chomping! The extra good news if you are feeling guilty is that they are all made with organic and free trade ingredients. Everything is homemade and you can order cakes big or small for special occasions or because you just want cake. Why wouldn't you? If you prefer something even healthier they make delicious banana bread and carrot cake too. It's a really new shop, and thumbs up for being brave enough to take such a risk. They look like they're trying hard enough to keep the customers happy and coming back including delivery of gift boxes at a humble £5. Hard to argue with them really.

I was gifted a voucher for…read moreafternoon tea so decided to go to the one at Central Station as we were heading somewhere nearby afterwards. It's not my ideal location for afternoon tea as it's loud and busy but it didn't bother us as we weren't there for the atmosphere. The two ladies working there were really friendly and took our drinks orders quickly. We both ordered tea. I love the tea a Patisserie Valerie because it's loose leaf and served in a suki teapot. We decided to sit outside and watch people go by. It was a Saturday afternoon so very busy. Our food came really quickly. I was very pleased to see scones and real clotted cream. We were also given a selection of mini jam jars which was a nice touch. Sandwiches were also really nice. The cakes on top weren't bad but it wasn't something I'd personally choose, except for maybe the chocolate one. I'm saying a-okay because I felt the tables were too small, and also the tables didn't appear to have been wiped down in a while. The staff didn't really come outside to clear things away when others had left either. But I'd say overall fast friendly service and yummy food!

I have visited this branch of Patisserie Valerie twice. Once to take away and once to sit in…read more On the taking away occasion I had a powerful hangover and a meeting (although quite an informal, friendly one) to attend. I bought a coffee and a box of macarons to take to the meeting. The coffee curing my hangover and the macarons made my colleagues even happier than I expected. They were delcious, sweet, cruncy, smooth and light. Everything a good macaron should be. So lets call that a 5 star experience. The sitting in occasion was slightly less perfect. I ordered a latte and a frangipane tart and I took a seat. There were a few other people in the cafe but it was far from busy. The staff were nice enough and my order arrived relatively quickly. Unfortunately my coffee was awful. It's not often that I abandon caffeine but this time I was forced to. The tart was ok - I'd order it again but it wouldn't go to the top of the list. So lets call that a 3 star experience. I guess that's why on balance it gets four stars. Realistically, that sounds about right. I hope the nasty coffee was a one off because I'm bound to be temped back in by the cakes soon enough.

This is a great cake shop! The cost involved in the purchase of a wedding cake can be Huge!…read more I visited a LOT of amazing cake shops on the search for my own wedding cake! Could not believe the distances I travelled, how many times my sis In law went round and round roundabouts seeking out hidden cake shops on the search for thee ONE lol, to come back to the one on my doorstep so to speak! Delightfully well displayed cakes here, all shapes, designs, colours, sizes! The cakes are on display all round the shop and their is also a centre display, I have no idea of how many cakes are on show, plenty!! And if you have a wee peek up on top of the display cases you can sometimes see the cakes due to be picked up! Feel like it is an extra wee treat, the designs are amazing! Their is also folders filled with a huge selection of cakes and they are all so reasonable in price! But do not be alarmed if you fall in love with a more expensive cake, a talk with the staff who are warm and welcoming may put your mind at ease, just ask what they can do to make it a little cheaper, i.e maybe you don't need 4 tiers or maybe the size of the tires can be smaller! They took the bottom tier away from the bling bling cake I set my heart on! I still had 3 wonderful tiers and had plenty of portions on my big day! And still took the top tier home! This place does amazing variety of birthday and special occasion cakes too! Well worth a look!

I was pure curious at trying this establishment of amazing looking cakes. So when the CMYE Brunch…read moreClub popped up on events, I just had get my name on that 'I'm in' list. I thought if their cakes looked that amazing, the brunch must be amazeballs. I entered the grand looking coffee shop with walls of mirrors and a counter of cakes on a very dreicht Saturday morning. I was a bit late but fortunately when I arrived people had just ordered, I quickly picked from the menu French Toast (I knew what I wanted before I ordered to be honest) and a pot of Breakfast Tea. There was 10 fabulous Yelpers and we all picked a nice mix of various brunch meals. When the dishes hit the posh tables they looked pretty tasty. My tea was lovely and the French toast was a tasty brioche bread with a wee bowl of maple syrup to drizzle over. Now, don't get me wrong it did taste nice but I've had better and I felt like I could have had another slice, especially at the price they were charging. Now this place is not cheap. I knew that the cake was steep as I had seen the branch in Glasgow Central. Not only were my teeth thinking of falling out with the amount of sugar those mahoosive cakes have but my eyes were popping out with the prices. I really wanted to try the French toast with bacon but I just couldn't see myself paying over £7 for it. Maybe when I'm rich 'n' shiz. The staff were lovely and accommodating. I would like try their lunch menu and a slice of cake to see if they taste as good as they look. Firstly though I'll need to save up for the visit. So if anyone would like to support my next visit, donations are very welcome.

Not only were they able to make a top notch sponge/ jam/ cream cake with a personal touch at short notice, the customer service was top notch as well. During this transaction, I interacted with two staff members independently of the other & I was blown away with how genuine and matter of fact these women are. As a West Ender it is sometimes easy to become jaded to certain businesses on my own doorstep. As such I wish I had an excuse to use this quality bakery more often & I really rate it & value it as part of the local community. It is an undiscovered gem that deserves to be highly rated & more widely known!

The place looks great with the display of cakes in the window, and inside. You can book cakes to be made as I seen a woman doing, along with a display of cakes made in the back of the shop. I told the girl, I'm a chef and I thought all the cakes and shop looked great. I asked if she made them. She said the company makes them all in Polmadie area. I got a huge biscuit type thing. I could have bought one of their better ones, but this was good for me at this time. It was like a swirl effect. And it only cost he £1.10 I think. If you gave not been here, then it's worth a look. And the girl working was really polite and friendly too. Thanks. I'll post the pics:)

I went for the Black Forest slice and the other half tried their pecan pie and we also had a white coffee and a cappuccino to join it. The cakes were really nice and sponge was nice and light in mine and the base in the pie was light and crumbly. The interior was quite nice with a couple sets of sofas and some tables and chairs. There was also a bit of a view across to Queens Park which was quite relaxing. They also sell paninis and ice cream too if you fancy something that isn't cake.

I first met Rachel at the BBC Good Food Show, where she showed me how to pipe icing properly. When I heard she was opening up, I couldn't have been more excited. Even more so when I found out just how close it was to me. (So much so I have been for the past 2 Saturdays and am most likely going twice this weekend...) This is a bakery, selling cake, cupcakes, tray bakes, teas, coffees and soft drinks. There are a variety of gluten free options available. The bakery is through the back, so the place smells of cake permanently. I've sampled both the red velvet and salted caramel cupcakes. The red velvet was gorgeous, although I loved the salted caramel cupcake more. The centre was filled with ooey gooey caramel. The tea was better than the coffee, coming in individual gorgeous glass teapots. A cup of earl grey is the perfect accompaniment to a piece of cake. I love the quirky antique sets that everything gets served in. Rachel also does custom cakes and cupcakes for all occasions, ranging from weddings, birthdays to graduations. The bakery accepts cash and cards. No outdoor seating (yet!)
