The Hummingbird Bakery Islington

A very small unit, about 100m from Angel Stn.

There are 5 barstools to sit and eat inside.

They had the usual fantastic selection of cupcakes, pies,brownies etc

My favourite being the black bottom.

I have heard their richmond branch does an afternoon tea, so i think i will have to give this place a go more

Pretty small but very cute bakery. I had the red velvet cupcake which was good, the chocolate and peanut butter whoopee which was good, and the black bottom cupcake which was delicious! I'll be back to try some other goodies, and get another black bottom cupcake. more

My sister and I ordered a lemon raspberry cake for our mom's birthday and it was absolutely beautiful and delicious. The staff was so friendly when I picked it up and their other treats looked very tasty. I will definitely stop by again when I'm in London again! more

Saw this place advertised in Angel Station so I sought them out. I got a vanilla cupcake with vanilla icing and a chocolate Valentine cupcake with chocolate icing. The vanilla cupcake was stale! The chocolate was more moist but for a chocolate cupcake the flavor was lacking. Both cupcakes are not filled to the top of the paper wrapper, about 1/4" down, and then there's a ton of frosting on... more

Meh. Very little selection and most cakes and cupcakes (perhaps even all of them) have cream cheese frosting which many love but I loathe, so there you have it. Will make the slightly longer trek to Gail's in Clerkenwell for my weekly dessert treat.

Additionally, next to no seating and the upcharge for eating in versus take-away is insane. more
