Amazing pastries…read more Stumbled across this place leaving Neil Market and nibbled on a Kouign Amman, a delicious little sweet made from compressed croissant dough? I think? Anyway, it was wonderful, so I came back with my wife and mother-in-law and had a coconut version of the aforementioned Amman as well as a Strawberry Rhubarb tartlet and another delicious thing that now escapes my mind. All of them were delicious; I don't think you can go wrong here. Just don't expect anything other than bread and pastry, as it's basically a market stall set up at the front of their bakery operation under an arch. I don't even think they have coffee, but you can grab that around the corner in Netil Market. And they're only open on Saturday. But if you can thread the needle of these constraints, their pastries are totally worth it.

This Millie's Cookies isn't really a shop, and more of a little kiosk, but they do serve really…read moredelicious cookies, with a big range available for such a small counter. Their cookie shakes are amazing- milkshakes with any flavour cookie crushed into them, and though they cost a tiny bit more than a Frappuccino, they are worth it. My only complaint is that over the years, their cookies have gotten smaller and their prices have risen- it is not about £1 per cookie, which is a bit expensive, but they are really good. Also a good place to get a gift- they do personalised "cookie cakes ", which are essentially giant iced cookies, although this kiosk in particular doesn't provide the best icing service, as they often misspell things. Overall, delicious!

You can't really go wrong with this bakery, or well any Greggs really. It sells a good variety of…read moresandwiches, cakes, breads and savoury pastries, which is probably why it's always busy at lunchtimes during the week and all day Saturday. The local school kids will often be in here getting breakfast on the way to school (do yum yums count as breakfast?), and it always draws the locals as it's a good place to get food on the go. Staff are friendly and tot up the bill in their heads, and there are discounts if you buy more than one of certain items. i.e. buy four jam doughnuts and you save yourself 35p.

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.

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.

Wedding cake RUINED- DO NOT ORDER FROM HERE…read more the wedding cake showed up damaged and nothing like the image we asked for. We had ordered this as a gift for my brother and his wife's wedding present and it was nothing short of utterly embarrassing! We called them straight away (on the wedding day) and the lady we spoke to advised no one could help and we have to email our complaint. - we did this straight away and also attached pictures Almost a week later we get an auto response saying there is nothing they can do because we didn't retain the cake and the box??? What exactly did they expect us to do? Not serve the cake at the wedding!? As embarrassing and damaged as it was, we had to fix it up as best we could ( some relatives drove to a bakery and picked up some decorative cake toppers ) and we made the best we could of it. We have been asking to speak to the manager but we are told there is no management, we called to speak to senior staff and a member of staff hung up on us after we explained everything today. They are not willing to make right this massive wrong. The bride and groom looked so disappointed in the cake, the caterers who received the cake on the day were so shocked they actually took pictures straight away and sent them to us to ask if this was actually what we asked for! We can't get back the special moment of the bride and groom cutting their cake- they have been robbed and we have been left mortified all because this scam of a company wants to hide behind their terms and conditions that require us to retain the cake and box as it is so they can inspect and examine it!! How can they expect us to not cut the cake on the day of the wedding when we had no choice! They refused to send anyone to rectify it on the day and we were told no one could help. Only a week later are we told we needed to keep the cake and box to move forward with a complaint even though we have images of everything. If you are hoping for a cake that not only matches what you asked for, that shows up on time, and shows up undamaged, DO NOT USE THIS COMPANY. We are very sorry and regretful to have ever used this company for such a special occasion

Absolutely terrible experience. Cake was delivered damaged and after being promised (by email) that…read morea replacement cake would be sent then next day, that never arrived. I was then told the replacement had been cancelled with no one telling me. They then claimed it had been delivered intact, eventhough I had sent them pictures to prove otherwise. Was then also refused a refund, unless I brought back 90% of the cake (there wasn't even 90% intact anyway). I live really far away from them, so can't bring it back. They refused to collect it. I was also then hung up on by their staff and they never picked up again. At no point did I even receive an apology. I have never been so disappointed by any company ever. Absolutely appalling customer service. Spend your money somewhere else.
