I had to have one and it was a full on move of perfection. The top of it was charred like creme brulee should be, and the creme was cold enough to be inside a donut. My girlfriend got one with organic strawberry jam and enjoyed an ice coffee along with it. The owner was very nice and looked out for our needs. its a cute little spot and if you're going to shop, nothing would be better than to start off with something perfectly sweet to the taste.

This small establishment has a lot to offer beyond donuts, but the donuts are definitely the star of the show. I had the banoffee donut and my sister had the kinder bueno and neither of us regretted our decision. They were scrumptious. The dough was perfect, like a cloud and even though they look really over the top, they are not overly sweet (I don't know how they do that, it's magic, haha). There is nowhere to sit, it is a takeaway spot. They man serving us was very patient as we tried to figure out what we wanted from all the options. He was friendly and gave us some ideas on what to order. We still took an age to decide, but that was ok, because we were swaying to the awesome playlist they sharing though they're speakers.

Explained that I needed it to take some medicine, but no they "don't do" tap water. Bonkers. I hate sticklers. Anyway, the place is kind of cool in its interior, it's all purple and comfy booths. There's all kinds of desserts, such as a brookie which is a bagel and a cookie together I think. I tried cookie dough for the first time, it was a bit too sweet, but good taste with the aero flavour.

I think Sweet Couture makes wonderful cupcakes! The red velvet cake and chocolate are sublime; they…read moredo need to work on the German Chocolate it's really more chocolate with coconut rather than the traditional coconut pecan frosting that makes this particular dessert so unique. Fortunately for us, who love all things sweet and tasty, that is their only shortcoming. The presentation is lovely and I often find myself salivating while eagerly waiting to pick my cupcake and make my dash back to my desk to devour the sinful delight. The frosting and sponge are equally delicious; I have had many a cupcake where the one or the other is out of balance. But with Sweet Couture every bite is a delight! My only bone of contention is that they never seem to have the mini cupcakes! I think it is dishonest to advertise but only offer the treats by the box and rarely individually. I love cupcakes, my waistline does not. Sometimes I don't want a full sugar filled confection, just a taste. So please Sweet Couture either stop advertising that you have mini-cupcakes or make them regularly available for individual purchase. Personally I'd prefer the latter because then I could eat a mini cupcake everyday with no feelings of guilty rather than a big cupcake every once in a while.

So far I've only stopped twice and managed to try out their cupcakes and bought a medium chocolate cake for a birthday. The cupcakes are light and airy, and there is a wide variety of flavours (my personal favourite is peanut butter...!). The chocolate cake was just right - not too rich and just enough chocolate. Given the prices, it's definitely a treat, but that's OK since I'm not sure I want cake more often than occasionally anyway.

We stepped off the train at St Pancras and found our first Benugo, where we began our love affair…read more Today was our fourth day in London, and the fourth day we were getting Benugo for breakfast (our third location). Our typical order: - a cappuccino and the Londoner - a mocha and the Eggs Royale The coffees were good, but the Londoner was missing tomatoes, and the Eggs Royale contained a fraction of the eggs that I'd had for the past 3 days. We talked to them, and they added tomatoes and eggs respectively, which was good. Neither sandwich came wrapped as they had at the other locations. The difference COULD be attributed to the fact that this location is considered a 'restaurant' instead of a 'cafe' ...they brought our food instead of us having to pick it up, and they collected our dishes. But...just beware! This location doesn't seem up to par.

This is a chain but what separates it from the likes of Pret and Eat is that the sandwiches are…read morefresh and in the open air under a counter, rather than stuffed into cardboard boxes. Salads are in boxes, obviously, but they looked packed with variety of ingredients and they looked fresh. I ordered a Brie and bacon sandwich and the staff heated it up for me - which already puts it way ahead of other chains. Coffees are on the cheap side - approx £1.75 - but they're also on the weak side. This almost led me to mark it a 3, but then I tried a Millionaires Shortbread cake which was chocolatey, buttery and delicious and highly likely to be home-made. So I'd go back for food but perhaps try somewhere else for a post lunch caffeine fix.

As we took the train from Slough Station to Windsor we were hoping to grab brunch, but our ticket…read morefor Windsor Castle didn't allow for a sit down meal. To our surprise we walked past this unique cronut / donut spot, and my foodie senses started to take over. We strolled in to a pleasant aroma of sweetness! The cronuts in the case looked absolutely stunning so our group decided to try a few and share. We indulged in the Nutella, Yum Yum, Zebra, and the Oreo Dough. All were scrumptious, slightly dense, and extremely filling! Definitely plan to share as one of these bad boys can easily be plenty for 2 people. That being said, the leftovers came home with us...so I'm not complaining. The fellas behind the counter were very friendly and answered all our questions. They also serve ice cream, but I had no room to partake on this visit. Needless to say, don't be a Dum Dum...go try this Donutterie!

I went in close to 1pm on a Thursday and they were already sold out of many flavors. I got the Almond & Pistachio Cro and it did not disappoint; fragrant, toasty almond cream centered in between layers of the flaky dough, dusted with sugar all over, topped with icing, and perfectly decorated with pistachios. The cream was more like a paste but the sweet almond flavor was very nice. Super heavy and good as a breakfast or snack if you're looking for something filling. £3.50 was not a bad price to pay, although it equates to the $5 USD it costs at the overly-hyped Dominique Ansel Bakery. Easy to miss as it is very small, but it's located a few shops next to the Shoreditch Station, on the bottom floor of Boxpark, which is filled with gimmicky Instagram-worthy food. I'd say to give this place a try if you aren't sure about Dominique Ansel, which sells their cronuts for only £0.50 more, but overrated, IMO.
