It also helps that the shop is at the end of my road... Occasionally there are mornings when my brother goes to pick up a bunch of bagels from this place and stops by my house out of the blue to drop a few of them off...I love those mornings. An unexpected bagel in the mouth for breakfast, smothered in butter or cream cheese and smoked salmon is like a little taste of heaven (in my mouth). The rye bread is also delicious from here and makes me feel a little nostalgic as we always used to get it from here when I was a child. You can get them to slice it for you, but I prefer to just get the loaf because then you can cut super thick slices :) There are a selection of cakes and pastries here too, they look yummy, although I'm usually focussed on the bagels. BUT I have had the apple doughnuts - fresh soft doughy-doughnuts filled with big slices of soft, cooked apple...mmmm.

My favorites have to be the lemon raspberry cake, the red velvet (their best seller) and the the rainbow cake...in that order. I have yet to try any of their whoopie pies because they sell out so fast! I find the staff to be awfully nice and great conversation starters despite the usually hectic environment of customers with their mini-me's. The cakes are moist, rich and not too sweet. It's a pretty intense experience biting into the red velvet for the first time if you ask me. Just because a place is lacking enough tables during peak business hours (maybe do takeaway?), is crowded with kids (what did you expect from a shop selling such delicious sweets?) and the sweets offered are on the pricey side (if you eat this often, yes - if so, I'm more worried about your health than the finance bit if you don't make this a once-in-a-while treat), it should not affect the rating based on the overall quality and service. If you are still hung up over the price, there is a Tesco down the street where the bakery goods are edible and the quality questionable. Overall, Hummingbird is a great place to stop by as a fantastic treat and I recommend takeaway (you save about a pound), walk the 8 minutes to the river and enjoy it with good company.

The Hummingbird bakery does make quality cakes and other bakes, but for the price, I've had better…read more I came here with a friend who specifically wanted to come due to her love of cakes, and she felt the same way. We ordered three things and split them between us: a red velvet cupcake, a chocolate peanut butter whoopie pie, and a slice of rainbow cake. Her favorite was the red velvet, I was in love with the dark chocolate and whipped peanut butteryness of the whoopie pie, and we both liked the rainbow cake but thought it was just TOO much. It had a kind of tutti-fruiti flavour, and between that and the bajillion layers and all the frosting, it was just too sweet for us. We were defeated by one slice of cake and couldn't finish it. My recommendation to Hummingbird would be to sell the cakes in smaller slices and charge less for them, because it was not cheap. It also didn't help that there were tons of kids constantly running around and pushing past us the majority of the hour and a half or so that we were there chatting. Not a calm kind of place to hang out. But still, solid baking - I'd probably recommend the cupcakes for takeaway, but the cake slices are just too big.

What would you like with your blueberry-cheesecake? - Whipped cream, ice cream or raspberry coulis?…read more Important and definitely world-changing questions like these were on the top of our minds, when we entered Rumsey's Chocolaterie after a few hours of leisurely rambling in the Chilterns. In fact, the visit here was almost literally the icing on the cake... Amongst the blueberry cheesecake, the cake display featured other calorie bombs like chocolate torte, meringue cake or carrot cake - all of which looked temptingly delicious. And believe me: amongst the four of us we tried quite a few of them! But Rumsey's Chocolaterie not only offers delicious cakes and teas, but while you are sitting at the table, you can actually witness how the pastry chefs are preparing truffels and pralines: in fact, I could almost hear the light cracking when they rolled the moist chocolate balls in a tray full of crispy coatings! Yummy! Anyway, if you are ever in Wendover (and I can highly recommend a visit to this cute little town in Buckinghamshire), then do stop by here to enjoy a few moments of pure chocolate bliss...

I also had the unfortunate pleasure of arriving at the same time the local mums' group overtakes the joint (around 2pm on a weekday, if you're wondering). The gals were well-behaved as were their brood. However, one of them, hot-blooded I guess, decided she was 'too hot' and asked if she could open the door (while simultaneously opening the front door of the cafe WIDE) thus killing my toasty buzz and replacing it with frosty chill. I sat out the remainder of my short stay in my coat. I'm sure that the pastries might be tasty, and the sourdough sour, but I'd do well to dash in and out for that sort of thing, and not hang around for a nibble and cuppa, if I'd ever go back at all.

As if one day, a person woke up and decided to display some of their prized cakes in their front window with handwritten price cards, then hung up a sign: "Tea takers welcome! Come on in!" almost just to see what would unfold. Yes, Loafing has that sort of organic feel to it... where, after the sign was hung, the whole neighborhood anxiously arrived, hungry for the cake and tea and familiar company... and well, they just never stopped dropping in... This homegrown neighborliness gives Loafing such a cozy buzz... at times the dapper men behind the counter (who are far too well-dressed to be mere "help," which again, gives you the distinct impression that you are their guests) seem flustered by the rush of their visitors... seeing to orders with a smidge of an amateur deftness, yet an unshakable level of poise... which is actually very charming and enhances the pleasantry of the experience. The coffee is okay, the cakes and other baked things standout - although the pricing for them runs from *bargain* (i.e. mince pies, fruit squares) to standard (lemon torte, brownies), to just a *tad* overpriced (my coffee walnut cake slice, at £3.50, seemed to cost just a few pence more than should have), and the tea and scones look absolutely marvelous. If you come here on a weekend, expect it to be packed, and if you come too late in the afternoon expect many of the yummy looking things to be gone...
