Cappucino
Samantha L.

My friend and I wanted to experience afternoon tea during our trip to London, so we made reservations here on a Monday afternoon. They have a vegan option, so he opted for that and I went with the standard menu. It came with a scone, 3 types of sandwiches (cucumber, ham & cheese, and egg salad) and an assortment of sweets (two of the sweets were vegan and then the other two were macarons for the standard menu and a brownie and cookie for the vegan option). The scones were our favorite. I was not a fan of many of the sweets, except for the one that came in a jar (not sure what it was, some type of pudding/custard).

We decided to do the Potions Room afternoon tea experience since it seemed unique, and I overall had a great time! The ambience was super cool (lots of magic/wizard themed decor). They give you a robe to wear and a wand to play with. The storyline of being in a potions class was a little cheesy in my opinion but would be fun for kids. I mainly enjoyed the tea experience and the food! You get a choice of 1 tea (unlimited refills), and you "brew" your own potion (you just mix three liquids to make a fruity drink). Then, the staff brings out an assortment of finger sandwiches and sweet treats. It took quite a bit of time for the food to arrive, so a lot of the two hour experience was just waiting. The snacks were quite good (my favorites were the finger sandwiches and the scones). At the end, we got an ice cream treat. When I placed the order online, I thought I ordered the standard adult ticket, but it seems like they treated my ticket as vip so I got an extra drink (chose the hot chocolate bugs - chocolate and coffee liquor), and you get a goodie bag with some treats and a mug.

Honestly, I had seen this on so many lists, and I was quite excited to try this place out. Everything looked delicious, but I guess it just happened to be the day that I was there that a lot of the choices had nuts (and I'm allergic...). Slight disappointment. My husband enjoyed the sweet treats, but definitely said it was a tad too sweet for him. Need to give this another try when we're back next.

Went there for the magical potion room tea. Set in the basement if cutter and squidge, a lot of time and effort has been put into the experience. A great time for the value. We went for the noon sitting and stayed until almost 230. The vegan food supplied was delicious; highest remarks for the mushroom pie and the desserts. Would also recommend the chocolate cupcake and scones. The room can fit around 15 people and you are sat in tables of 2. Would recommend this experience.

The green tea-flavored cake :)

I first saw and heard about this from my sister. The photos were cute and everything looked so delicious! They also have a Hello Kitty Afternoon Tea until the end of August 2016. When I finally booked our tickets to London, I decided that I needed to visit. It's pretty small but easy to find. They had several patrons already sitting. Their sweets were displayed prettily at the front and were clearly labeled with names and prices. Everything was cute. The prices differed depending on flavors and whether or not you were dining in. The biskies were cute but on the smaller side. We decided on their matcha (green tea) cake which was decidedly more magnificent on a sizing scale and though pricing is on the steeper side, a little more reasonable since we were sharing. It was a thinner slice (we Americans are used to thick, artery-clogging, diabetes-inducing slices, don't you know) multi-layered with alternating green tea cream and strawberry cream fillings. The cake itself isn't the lightest but nor was it too dense, so it was fine. It wasn't the highest on the moist scale but it definitely wasn't dry. The cream wasn't the sweetest but nor would it be something that I would say was perfectly sweet, either. It could have been less sweet... or perhaps it is meant to be eaten alongside tea or coffee. We had purchased lightly sweetened bubble tea before so the cake was a little on the sweet side as we were washing it down with our bubble tea. Even so, I thought the strawberry complimented the matcha well and the matcha flavor was apparent, so kudos for that. The staff was nice and friendly. The place is cute and could be slightly cramped if they get a higher volume of people at the same time. They have a single (small) unisex toilet and offer Hello Kitty themed merchandise as well as tea and tea pots. All in all, I think it was a little overrated and priced, but cute and worth a visit if you have the time to check it out. It is also a good place to stop by to chat with friends; there was even a family with kids when we were there. The food isn't bad at all but just not all that reasonably priced.

Delicious tea sandwiches and dessert

For a truly unique, fun, and delicious tea, check out Cutter and Squidge in Soho, London. With a wizard/potions theme, it's charming and interactive. And since it's a lovely bakery, the food is excellent! We really enjoyed the entire experience! The potions room is decorated perfectly and the potions instructor and prefects are charming. A must-do if you are a fan of a certain wizarding book series!

This cafe is centrally located on a corner Brewer street. The joint itself is well decorated and absolutely adorable. Noise levels are appropriate for a quick meeting or intimate dessert option. There are cute little gifts such as mugs, sweets, and other novelties, especially being recently infiltrated with the Hello Kitty stuff. The "biskies" are very delicate and unique looking, though a bit on the pricey side though for such a tiny confection. The cakes are visually astounding and layered with more frosting and cake than you can count. The cake portions though are very dry and dense, and when you combine those two qualities, it makes for an unsatisfying palatable experience, as if you have crumbling scone mix sloshing around in your mouth. In my humble opinion, this is one of those instances where the novelty looks better than it tastes. The staff are very helpful in explaining each confection, and they are very kind as well.

Matcha raspberry bisky & chocolate peanut butter cake
E J.

Where do I start? The cakes, even before you taste them, are drool worthy and a visual delight. The 'biskys' will leave you loitering at the minimalist counter for what seems like ages, turning the most decisive person into the most indecisive as they try to work out which of the wide variety of gorgeous flavor combinations they want to try. The staff are always on hand to give you some recommendations - from their personal favorites to the newest snacks, they're really knowledgeable of the brand and all the ingredients used, not to mention where they were sourced. Perfect for those who have allergies, as they won't steer you wrong just for a sale. Cutter & Squidge isn't the cheapest of places, but it's clear that the final product wasn't sacrificed to make a quick buck here. There is love in every single biskie and cake on sale in the spacious, airy cafe. Well worth a visit with pals if you're in Soho and hankering for a sweet treat. If you're anything like us and over order? No worries, they have you covered with take away boxes if you'd chosen to sit in.

Biskies and cake!
Tara M.

I am not one for buying cake these days if only because I am not a fan of sickly sweet treats that favour the visual over the taste. While a pretty cake is lovely, something that tastes good is preferable. Cutter and Squidge is beautiful and delicious! There are so many flavours to choose from and the combinations are fantastic. I had two biskies and a slice of cake which admittedly was way too much but I couldn't choose! Luckily they gave me a box to take my uneaten cakes home. I recommend the Eton mess cake and the rhubarb biskie, they were both amazing. The coffee is decent enough too.

Hello kitty and cutter and squidge

Been to the hello kitty afternoon tea and I had a amazing time! I really enjoyed my experience and the attention to detail in everything. I hope they do more amazing collaborations! Ever since I have always gone here whenever I feel like having a spot of tea and a great biskie! Even when I am meeting friends and catching up this is a great place to go for something different and unique. Staff are lovely and are always helpful and friendly. Their drinks menu is so different and fun. I ordered the pineapple ice cream float and it was a great.

So cute

So my mother and I ate at a lot of eateries while we were in London last year. Only Bloomsbury Cafe…read moreleft us declaring defeat: we just couldn't finish our meals here. Their servings are HUGE, and are so affordable too! I left wishing my mother and I had the ability to save our leftovers for later, because we hated wasting any of the delicious food that we ordered. Even before we got our food we were pretty excited. When you walk in you're greeted here with a beautiful sight: fresh sandwiches, bread, and pastries, all on display right at their main counter. Once we were seated I noticed little flower pots line the window, too. Fresh food and flowers - what more can you ask from a cafe for a first impression? We also loved the owner and his wife: they were very kind and they constantly kept us up to date on our food order, just to mention what was done and what they still needed to do or cook. They clearly work hard to provide fresh fast meals - and we learned quickly as people came in and out of the place that takeaway is available here. But we wanted to enjoy a sit down meal, and enjoy we did! I started mine with fresh squeezed juice - we're talking so fresh you'll want to add sugar to it if you're used to the juice that comes in stores. And when our English breakfasts came out? Just, wonderful. My mother and I each received SO much food. Both meals came with amazing buttered bread (like, I would have happily eaten an entire plate of bread and only bread), hash browns so fresh that they may as well have given us the original potatoes (yum), and what I can really only describe as a mountain of beans, eggs, and meat (well, on mine anyway - not so much on my mother's vegetarian breakfast order). All of it absolutely delicious, and every single bite made me smile wider and wider. Definitely walk on in if you're near this little shop. Don't be afraid to order one meal and share it if there's only two of you, either - you'll likely both leave well fed, and you can always order a little more food if you want too from that great looking counter of theirs...

Had the New Yorker. Hit and fresh bread, what you want in a panini. Staff was friendly and…read moreefficient. I'd eat here again if you just want a quick sandwich and not in the mood for pub food. Though I did not have any, their desserts look really good too.

I had rice with meatballs in a tomatoe sauce which was a bit hot and very delicious. The waitress (I guess the owner of the café) was very nice and friendly, did ask if we want drinks or dessert. You can sit outside and inside. I would highly recommend you trying this café and I love to go there again next time I am in London!

This is one of London's remaining "proper" cafes. The owners are genuinely lovely and welcome…read moreeveryone with a smile and even remember you if it's been months between visits. I always come to this establishment if I'm in the area and demand that my colleagues meet me there. I've never heard a complaint. Many local establishments wouldn't know a "full English" of it slapped them across the back of their legs, but you won't be disappointed here. Decent, tasty, full-sized sausages, quality bacon and all of the assorted extras that would set anybody for the day. The coffee is good and if you've still got space for lunch later, they also sell a range of delicious sandwiches. The owners are flying the flag for English (no fuss) breakfasts. The interesting thing is that neither of the owners are native Brits, but they've certainly created a welcome oasis in this part of London. Even the health conscious and vegetarians will be happy. Highly recommended.
