Cake lovers will be in heaven when they visit Hummingbird. Every cake is delicious. Try the mile high salted caramel (share with a friend, the slices are huge) signature red velvet in either sliced gateaux form or cupcake. The rainbow Cake is visually stunning if you want something for an occasion. You can order a cake in advance for a special occasion via their website or phoning the central line. Cheesecake or brownie, can't decide, they have made a cheesecake brownie! Hot drinks available too!

This places cakes are to die for. Have to get my mum one every opportunity I can find. The service is second to none. The cake selections on display are always works of art. Buy cakes cupcakes or even a slice, and the slice is quiet fat. Definitely go for the carrot cake and rainbow. See you soon guys.

Never had a bad experience here. Vegan cupcakes particularly delicious and often cheaper than regular cupcakes. Pumpkin whoopie is amazing during autumn months. Would recommend. Ok pricing. Pictured is chocolate vegan and vegan red velvet.

The best vegan birthday cake you could ask for. Soft, tasty and it was a hit with all our friends. The staff at the Islington branch was friendly and the cake ready to be collected. Love Wins

Worth every penny -- these gorgeous, professional, creative and DELICIOUS cupcakes are the best I've tasted in London. Ideal for a tasty snack, with a cup of tea or buy 4 of them for a cheap and cheerful dinner party gift! I tried their bacon/maple/caramel cupcake and was floored at how delicious it was. Not much sit-in space at this location, so plan for a take-away.

I popped into my local Hummingbird bakery store for the first time in a while and it's like I never took a cake sabbatical. There's always amazing variety of delicious fresh cakes.. and though the taste of the cakes are unbeatable the real stars of this store are the staff!! They are perfect; super friendly, helpful and make the best suggestions. The ladies I was served by today are the reason I pop into this store so often. Thank you so much ladies, I truly value your amazing service. PS: If you've never tried the Kentucky Bundt cake you are seriously missing out.

I like their cakes and cupcakes. However I have ordered two cakes from them in the past and the inside was raw. It was definitely upsetting and it was additional expense to travel to the shop to return them. They gave me the options to have the cakes reordered, choose something from the shop or get a refund. Since it was over £60, I chose a variety of treats and got a refund for the balance. I definitely won't be ordering cakes but just buying in store to reassure me I won't get anything faulty.

The staff are lovely and it isn't usually busy in here. Wide range of cakes and cupcakes including their infamous red velvet only downside is that they are a little overpriced although the quality is there. Nice cakes but I have had better for less.
