I saw the name Cakes & Bubbles while walking around London and immediately knew I had to stop in because honestly... that's a perfect combination. We ended up just having champagne and coffee, but both were really good and the whole experience felt fun and a little fancy in the best way. It's definitely on the pricier side, but it's located in a busy part of London inside a luxury hotel, so it wasn't surprising. Also kind of cool knowing Churchill used to spend time there. We somehow didn't even get cake, which honestly feels wrong considering the name, but I'd still go back. read more

My husband and I decided to splurge a little for one of our anniversary experiences and we were blown away. The place is part of Cafe Royal Hotel and is decorated with gold decorations. Very elegant. Our servers were amazing. They were sweet, funny and walked us through the menu. We opted for the champagne pairing set menu. Absolutely everything was amazing. From the blueberry scones, the pastries, the raspberry lychee rose water served as aa bubble on top of a rose. Talk about over the top! It ended with their signature brie cheesecake and it was delicious. read more

I can't remember where I first heard of Cakes & Bubbles, but for whomever mentioned it, THANK YOU. After following them on Instagram for months, and fantasizing about the famous "cheesecake," I finally got to try it myself and it 100% lived up to the hype. The texture of the cheesecake is what surprised me the most. It was mousse-like and super light and fluffy. I expected it to be a bit richer or slightly denser but it was like eating pillowy soft cheesecake with the perfect little biscuits to scoop it up (a nice stand in for a more typical crust). Yes, the prices are London prices. They are a bit hefty for the portion sizes but you are basically eating art and it's extremely unique and innovative. Not something you'll find anywhere else. I'd also like to add that I showed up one afternoon without a reservation and the host (or manager or whoever he was) was so kind and accommodating that when I said I was only there for dessert and wouldn't occupy the table for hours, they were able to squeeze me into the last open table before the person who had booked it later arrived. Thank you so much for that, and I'm so happy to report it was all worth it :) read more

This is a fancy cafe inside the Hotel Cafe Royal. Cakes were fancy and expensive. It was different compared to other bakeries. Always wanted to try different desserts. I ordered the cakes & bubbles cork. It was 3 small pieces for $16 pounds. They were delicious. Definitely wants more later. read more

It's a beautiful place, nicely decorated, on the bottom floor of the historic Hotel Cafe Royal. It's a two Michelin star chef. The cheesecake was ok, its interesting presentation, looks like a moldy cheese grind. Taste sweet, soft and light. The coffees were ok but the experience overall was underwhelming. It seemed stuffy and overpriced, it doesn't really have a savory menu, options are very limited. We tried the blinis with caviar and honestly i didn't like it beyond the nice presentation, the dish is tiny and more like tiny pancakes then the thin airy blinis we'd expect. The smoked salmon sat on top with a tiny bit of trout roe, not a dish i would crave and come back to. The pancakes had a strange aftertaste, we didn't even finish the tiny little dish. Our waiter had trouble understanding us. We didn't stay long. read more

I dunno.... I saw this place on Masterchef season 16 and made a reservation... overall decent but for the price and hype seemed way too hit and miss... Rose was fine... single bite that tasted like a mango rose bomb but more molecular gastronomy than cooking Cheesecake was luscious but needed something to brighten up the creaminess Waffle was just bad. Disconnected flavors and textures. Lemon tart was the highlight. Delicious. Mini burgers were overcooked. Then a weird part at the end where we couldn't get our bill. So much so that our server went and hid in the back room and we had to get up to leave and ultimately ask the manager for the bill. So odd. Super loud in there too even when 1/2 full since the whole place is made of marble. £125 later.... Meh. read more

This is my first time visiting the UK and my first time leaving the USA. My family and I discovered "Cakes and Bubbles." The inside was clean, and the atmosphere was comforting. The service was exceptional, and our waitress, Fate, was a pleasure. She was funny and kind, and we all loved her. We were sad when she seemed to disappear after taking our orders. Her amazing service made the dining experience even more enjoyable! (Never mind, She came back!!!) By the way, I loved the Katsu Sandwiches! The cheesecake was incredible--perfectly balanced and not overly sweet! read more

Visited cakes and bubbles on a very busy weekend night. We had a reservation, so we were seated right away in the indoor area. Because of the venue's popularity, I recommend making a reservation before you arrive. The interior was very cute - decked out in gold, giving it a fun and bougie vibe that pairs perfectly with champagne and small desserts. We each got a glass of champagne and we ordered two desserts to share. The desserts are very small, making them good for sampling. I would definitely recommend trying a few. I thought both desserts we tried were really creative, and they even came with instructions on how best to enjoy them. Cakes and Bubbles is great for celebrating, or for a fun outing living your best life. Recommend making a stop in after doing some shopping in the area! read more

Shoutout to Zoe first and foremost for being so accommodating!! I am legally blind and was doing my first solo trip abroad, and she was so helpful in guiding me around and showing me the menu. I chose the signature cheesecake and "the rose", both of which were AMAZING! Such unique desserts compared to anything I've had in the US. It was especially cool how the cheesecake was in the shape of a cheese wheel, branding and all. read more

When we were planning our trip to London, we discovered that Albert Adria had recently opened a dessert & champagne restaurant in Soho. We had the best meal of our lives so far at his Tickets in Barcelona so we couldn't pass up a chance to check this place out! Definitely make a reservation and plan to spend a bit. A full tasting will run around £30pp and of course you'll want some bubbles to go with. We opted for a lovely Spanish cava and decided to basically order one of everything on the menu and share. A few things we'd had before (the incredible cheese cakes, coconut chocolate stars) and they were as good as we remembered. Everything was amazing honestly - from the frozen mango to the light as air carrot cake. Much like Tickets, everything is slightly whimsical and you do get the feeling of being a kid in a candy store. Although this is an upscale place (no shorts or tanks) the staff is friendly and fun. Our server Takla (hope I spelled it right!) encourages us to share and really enjoy our time here. It was the perfect end to another great trip with cool besties Kelly & Mike. read more

Hands down my favorite pairing and one of my favorite spots in London. Cakes! Bubbles! And Cristal champagne by the glass. Well yes to all please. I'll take yes to all.! It's a treat and I love treating myself. One of each on repeat. Grazie Came here right before the city shutdown and I'm so glad. It hasn't been the same since this beautiful experience. One of my favorite experiences in London! And it tasted pretty magical too. The entrance to the hotel was just stunning. The study before entering this gorgeous room was beautiful. Everything was just aesthetically appealing, perfectly designed and decorated. Just beautiful. Inside was these giant marble tables! Gorgeous doors and again: stunning golden marble bar counter that wraps around: which has all the champagne bottles on the wall. Their amazing cheesecakes on display ( packed) and even some cookies. I wasn't sure if they would tasting for 1 since most tables had it for 2 with a tower. But I'm glad they did. And I must say, I love my presentation way better. Everything came on a bottle of champagne: even the bottom was used to serve my stunning chocolate cookie. Cork shaped fluffy chocolate cake! The rose shape sorbet! That stunning flan inside an egg shell was golden! Literally golden liquid! And of course... last but not least was that best cheese cake in the world award winning Albert Adria's cheese cake. Look like a beautiful little cheese barrel. Even brought some with me to Paris! Came with cookies: it's salty sweet, rich and all kinds of amazing! It was the best cheesecake I've ever had! It was definitely indulging lunch and well I enjoyed every bit. People watching, champagne sipping and my afternoon tea without tea! But with champagne and the most delicate little beautiful desserts. Loved every bite and every sip! Cin cin! read more

I wanted to indulge on this trip to London and Cakes and Bubbles was a perfect spot to delight yourself in sweets. However, don't let the ££££ scare you as the desserts themselves are quite reasonably priced and your bill may add up only if you order drinks. You can select the pre-fixe option or select individual puddings. We decided to select our own and ordered the cheesecake, mango sorbet, and golden egg flan. The cheesecake is wonderful with a hint of hazelnut. The shell is smooth and silky and scoops uniformity with the rest of the cake. It also comes with small wafer cookies for you to spread the cake onto. This gives it more texture and a crunch. The mango sorbet was refreshing and light. The golden egg flan wins for presentation as it had the Midas touch. In the egg shell, there was a layer of caramel, flan, and passion fruit on top. The passion fruit definitely overpowers the dish a bit but you just gotta scoop a little deeper to reach the sweet caramel at the bottom. read more

Ridiculously overpriced and gimmicky. They charge 7 pounds for a bottle of still water, and the price isn't mentioned on the menu. There's a 15% service charge. The food isn't even that great. read more

London is an international city in the sense that more than a few eating spots I've encountered in my travels across Europe/Asia/US had an outpost in this very city. Back in 2019 I had an opportunity to eat at Tickets in Barcelona, which was at the time Albert Adrià's (brother of el Bulli's Ferran) renowned restaurant (https://www.yelp.com/biz/tickets-barcelona-3?hrid=X6xathmJgPwoUeHgKB_7fg). Prior to this he was the pastry chef at the now-closed El Bulli and it was through the dessert course that his talent shines. It was specifically at Tickets that I had one of the best things I ever ate, its version of a cheesecake. A brie-style cheese interior (Coulommiers cheese to be specific) with a white chocolate/hazelnut "rind". As of this writing (three years later) the original iteration of this cheesecake is still one of the best things I ever ate. Cakes and Bubbles is Adria's first restaurant he established outside his native Spain and its space inside Café Royal was a result of a successful pop-up collaboration in 2016 that had all slots sold with 3800 people on a waiting list. As Tickets didn't survive the pandemic it is also the only place to get the aforementioned cheesecake plus a few other notable desserts (ie the rose lychee). You can do the desserts a-la-carte or as an afternoon tea-style course sub bubbles instead of tea. There's also the option to order savories from Hotel Café Royal. My family didn't want to look too hard to find dinner afterwards so we ended up doing dinner/dessert right here. - Cheesecake (£12). the notable difference is that Baron Bigod cheese is used instead of Coulommiers. Same principle *but* it is more rich and texture is similar to clotted cream [think buttery]. Though it's not the same exact cheesecake in Tickets it's still excellent - I'd come back and eat this again when I go back to London. - Cakes & Bubbles Chocolate Cork (£10). looks like a cork but it's a soft chocolate-hazelnut type "cake". Excellent. - Baklava Pistachio Pillows (£10). This isn't the traditional baklava preparation. The inside is full of of clotted cream, hence "pillows". It's good by itself but much better if accompanied by a tea. - Classic Basque Burnt Cheesecake (£9/slice). Cheese is melt-in-your-mouth and lighter in fare than the signature cheesecake. - The standard bubbly is Veuve-Clicquot, Yellow Label, Brut (£18). - [Savory: Lobster Ravioli (£34)]. Ravioli was cooked al-dente and lobster portions are decent. Loved the bisque so much I licked my plate clean. Its location along Regents Street close to Piccadilly Circus makes it ideal for al-fresco dining. In Europe, al fresco is ideal for people watching and this is how I roll. Like everything else in London, prices are pretty steep but definitely a great meal for my family's last day in the city. read more

Utterly delightful is probably the best way to describe our experience at Cakes and Bubbles, followed by whimsical, fun and tasty. A coworker had recommended we try it out on our visit to London and it was, unexpectedly, the highlight of the trip for me. I don't want to spoil all the surprises but what is I'll say is that even though they're known as a dessert shop, their savoury food is equally tasty and delightful. We had a tomato tartare that was so convincing it was hard to believe it was just made our of vegetables! My advice is, go hungry and try as many things as you possibly can. I really wanted to go back another time for seconds but we weren't able to fit it into our schedule. I eagerly await our return! read more

I never write reviews but after spending 55 euros on the worst dessert I've had in my life, I feel a duty prevent others from having the same experience. NY York style cheesecake? Disgusting. Inside was wet and liquidy, and there was no crust to offset the off-putting texture. Flavor was terrible, did not even taste like a dessert. I don't know what I was eating. My husband got the traditional cheesecake which looked and tasted like a bad wheel of Brie cheese. Gross. We then ordered ice cream thinking it's hard to mess up ice cream, it can't possibly get worse, but we were wrong. He got the dark chocolate sorbet which tasted like a freezer burnt fudgescicle. I got the coffee and white miso, which I don't even have words for. Why would you pair coffee and MISO? I wouldn't have tried it except there were only 3 flavors total and this was the only "ice cream", the other two were sorbet. Anyway, we spent 55 euros we'll never get back. Don't come here. Positives- the service was nice and friendly, the interior was charming. But that ain't enough to waste your money to choke down garbage. read more

Albert Adria is a real genius, and the desserts here are out of this world. Located near Piccadilly Circus in a hotel (and there was a couple of big guys standing at the main entrance on busy Regent Street, the place looks gorgeous.

Boujee but worth it. You are not going to find the ability to eat from one of the world's most famous chefs for an affordable price.

This place is super cute and reminds me of a grown-up tea party. The inside is very fancy looking and has a lot of GOLD tones. The service is really good and the waitresses treat you with kindness. As for the desserts which is the main focus of this establishment they were good but the portions were so small that it was hard to really taste and enjoy them. My favorite dessert was the Egg Flan which comes in an egg. It was so light and delicious. I really liked the dessert but for the price it was not a good balance of portion. We also tried the rose dessert which is a one bite experience it I found it over-rated. It tasted like a tapioca ball with some rose water over it. I am glad I went for the experience but be ready to spend lots of money and taste very little. read more

While overindulging in my desserts and glass of Vueve, I was giving myself crap for not thinking of the genius idea myself. Cakes And Bubbles is such a cute idea!!! I tried to make reservations at Tickets in Barcelona, but failed miserably. Thankfully, I found out Chef Albert Adrià opened up this gem of a place in London! Came here after touring the city to wind down at eat back the calories I just worked off. Ordered: x Cakes and Bubbles chocolate cork - I ordered this specifically because it looked so cute in the Yelp pictures. Not only is it adorable, it's also really tasty. Highly recommend for a bite sized dessert. x Golden egg flan - such a good change from all he decadent stuff I was eating. I think the it was passionfruit flavored, which was so refreshing. I'm salivating right now thinking about it's tartiness. x The Cheesecake - BEST CHEESECAKE IN THE WORLD! The reason why I wanted to dine in at Tickets in the first place and the only reason I went to Cakes and Bubbles!! I've tried a version of this cheesecake and In Situ, San Francisco and fell in love. This is hands down the most unique, delicious cheesecake ever. A MUST ORDER!!! You are not living until you have had this dessert!! The restaurant itself is very chic, "instagram worthy". Perfect place for a glass (or two) of bubbles while people watching. 10/10 would recommend. read more

This place is SO cute, elegant, and chic. We just happened to walk by, and I've always wanted to have dessert before dinner and this was the perfect spot for it. We had the sampler with champagne, it was incredible!!!!!!! There was not one course or bite i didn't enjoy. The creativity, and time it took to sculpt, and create each item and the plating was so thought out i absolutely loved the experience, and the food. The staff was great, worked wonderfully as a team, never an empty glass of champagne! Perfect spot for date night, quick dessert, or a glass of your favorite bubbly. If you come here you MUST ORDER the golden egg. I promise you will not be disappointed. Now, enjoy! read more

This is a one dish place - come here for the "cheesecake". Other desserts are decent, but nothing special and can be found elsewhere for better. Its not cheap. Its very over the top marble bling - think the sort of place a Russian oligarch or Middle Eastern sheikh would like to go to. Plus, the floor to ceiling windows looking out into Regent Street means that you might feel like you're in a cage, on display for the outside world! read more

Amazing. Amazing. Amazing. This place was such a refreshing take on dessert. I thoroughly enjoyed all of the unique and entertaining versions of popular desserts. The desserts themselves were small tastes but that was the best part. You could enjoy 2-3 dishes before feeling like you've overindulged. The waitress deftly suggested great pairings and upsold is on dishes we hadn't planned to get. Without judgement we were enjoying nearly 2 desserts per person. By far my favorite experience was "The Rose". I won't spoil the surprise but it's an experience you won't want to miss. The other options are also entertaining, you really can't go wrong. The pairing of champagne or wine was a genius move that meshes well with its London locale. We had a rose' champagne and it was absolutely delicious. Being one of the cheapest bottles on the menu, I was surprised by how awesome it truly was, being possibly the best champagne I've had. (Not a connoisseur) Worth a mention is the stunning venue. The large windows face a busy street with stylish designer shops bustling with tourists, business people, and commuters. Just a stones throw from Trafalgar Square, it's convenient for tourists and business people alike. The walls are bathed in stunning yellow marble in the hue of champagne. read more

Very excited to try Albert Adria's food. Beautiful location that allows you to take in the city. Really strong champagne list. I wish they had a pairing with the desserts instead of only glass or bottle. The platings were not as whimsical as I was hoping, but they were solid. I just wanted a bit more. The desserts were very good. We did the dessert tasting and if I went again I would pick a la carte as I didn't end up getting a lot of the items I really wanted and the tasting was just the chef picking off the existing menu. Solid spot but not as elevated as it could have been. read more

Been wanting to come here for a while. Stopped by for dessert and drinks before flying out. Easy to get a table. Service was very good and everyone was friendly. The hot chocolate was outstanding.

This is such a beautiful spot for a dessert experience! Everything from the inside and out were wonderfully decorated. The servers were attentive and very well-versed in the menu offerings. It's a must see in London! We ordered the chocolate cork, which is DELICIOUS and "Instagram worthy" for pictures. The C&B take on cheesecake was extraordinary delicious- more of a savory note, with some hazelnut and whites chocolate notes. Honestly I would have come for the cheesecake alone! The wine selection was nice- a bit pricey of a selection, but not terrible for the location. We didn't order the Air Pancake- but will certainly do that when we visit next. The passion fruit and chocolate tart was delicious as well. Everything was plated phenomenally. read more

I am in London and went to a dessert place my wife had heard about, Cake and Bubbles. They are known for their cheese cake. I am not much of a dessert or cheesecake person. However, they have the bubbles there so that was good a good compromise for us. The cheese cake was presented what looked like a cheese round. The cheese cake inside was a soft creamy filling that was not overly sweet or the rich and very well balanced for me. The coating outside was white chocolate with hazelnut flavor. The combination of the two was really good and I really enjoyed it. The champagne and sparkling selections were good and complemented the cheese cake nicely. The service was very good and pleasant there also. In addition, they are in a great area for shopping and eating. I am still not much of a dessert, but I would definitely be back for the cheesecake when I am back in London. read more
