I tried a Strawberry rhubarb cupcake, chocolate chip cookie and vanilla almond Sheet cake slice. I really liked the flavor of the frosting on the cupcake but it was a little chalky. The rhubarb but was amazing. The chocolate chip cookie was the best thing I ate - really good. The vanilla cake slice was solid. Overall, I wanted it to be better, and I'm sure it was a few years ago. But it was decent enough and outdoor seating in great weather was a vibe!

Being an independent shop means that they are on the slightly pricey side, but if you have any queries they are more than happy to answer it. I haven't given it 5* (yet) because I am still yet to try the specialities (i.e gluten free etc).

Founded by three friends in 2013 The Dusty Knuckle Bakery began with a purpose, youth violence…read moreprevention worker Max Tobias desiring to help at-risk kids take steps forward through on-the-job training and mentorship in a fast-paced environment. Now with three locations, co-owners Rebecca Oliver and Daisy Terry taking the idea past a Dalston shipping container to Harringay and Highbury Fields, visitors at the original can still see experience everything as it started Sunday through Friday from 08h00. Quite the operation, including a baking school and large on-site facility, it is from a car-park that guests smell Yeast, Coffee and Cinnamon meters before entering, the Baristas up front working hard while guests queue along glass cases to order. Known for Sourdough, though early arrivals are likely to be swayed by something sweet, a quick look shows Viennoiserie nicely laminated with good butter while an Apple Turnover served warm is bright with Cinnamon but not too sweet. Fairly priced by British standards, all Pastries £3.20 to £4.60, Dusty Knuckle's lone Cookie pairs Chocolate Chips and Sea Salt at the soft center of a golden rim while a buttery Cardamom Date Roll shines beneath toasted nuts.

Wonderful French patisserie on Upper Street, close to Highbury & Islington station…read more Although the facade is understated, the widow display is fabulous: orderly rows of wonderfully colourful tarts and pastries. Inside, they have more pastries (including Danish pastries) and savoury tarts as well. They have quite an extensive eating area, so we went for tea and tarts; my friend had the blackberry crumble tart, and I had the pear and almond tart. Both were very nice indeed - my pear and almond tart was wonderfully fresh, not too sweet, but a lovely caramelised texture - a bit of resistance, but not chewy. Staff were friendly and efficient, happy to give advice on their products, and also to let us linger. I'll certainly add this to my list of places to catch up with friends.

So many choices from the Strawberry Fraisier, to the Paris Brest, Choux pastry (eclairs) Tarte au citron, fresh fruit tart, and the big Macaronde. I of course had to try the big macaronde and I was glad it was the last one, my friend opted for the Strawberry Fraisier. The shop is cute, tables and chairs in the front, they also have a large seating area downstairs, a bit more quieter, perfect for a catch up. They bring your desserts down for you and any drinks you have ordered. The service is efficient. My macaronde was a raspberry flavour, with creme patissiere in the centre, with a raspberry jam, and the coolest thing, came with an injected pipette with raspberry sauce which you squeeze into the creme patissiere. Was a bit solid at first to break, definitely need to use that knife, and crack it open, but once I got past that, was the softest, tastiest, not chewy either, full of flavour that jam, and the extra helping of the sauce made it simply sublime! I actually fell into heaven! My friend loved her Fraisier. Presentation is eye catchy, everything is presented so beautifully! A must recommend if you are in the area!
