Cutter and Squidge

Cutter and squidge
A delightful little place, so cute. The creators of biskies, those are definitely worth a try and they have quite a range on offer! Lovely, helpful and friendly staff. The cakes looked amazing as did the brownies but I wanted to try a biskie but it was really hard to decide on just one. Luckily a friend agreed to half and half so we tried the salted caramel smore and gingerbread biskies. Both really delicious but the smore biskie was so amazing I couldn’t resist buying a jar of salted caramel before leaving. They also sell really cute aprons and home made honeycomb, among other things, which were really nicely packaged. So it is definitely staying on my list of places for cute last minute gifts, and while there I am sure I won’t be able to resist trying a new biskie. I had some really nice mint tea also– great place for a catch up with friends (especially as this means that you will be able to try more flavours if they are willing to share)

I am not one for buying cake these days if only because I am not a fan of sickly sweet treats that favour the visual over the taste. While a pretty cake is lovely, something that tastes good is preferable.
Cutter and Squidge is beautiful and delicious! There are so many flavours to choose from and the combinations are fantastic. I had two biskies and a slice of cake which admittedly was way too much but I couldn’t choose! Luckily they gave me a box to take my uneaten cakes home.
I recommend the Eton mess cake and the rhubarb biskie, they were both amazing.
The coffee is decent enough too.

Where do I start?
The cakes, even before you taste them, are drool worthy and a visual delight.
The ‘biskys’ will leave you loitering at the minimalist counter for what seems like ages, turning the most decisive person into the most indecisive as they try to work out which of the wide variety of gorgeous flavor combinations they want to try.
The staff are always on hand to give you some recommendations — from their personal favorites to the newest snacks, they’re really knowledgeable of the brand and all the ingredients used, not to mention where they were sourced. Perfect for those who have allergies, as they won’t steer you wrong just for a sale.
Cutter & Squidge isn’t the cheapest of places, but it’s clear that the final product wasn’t sacrificed to make a quick buck here. There is love in every single biskie and cake on sale in the spacious, airy café. Well worth a visit with pals if you’re in Soho and hankering for a sweet treat.
If you’re anything like us and over order? No worries, they have you covered with take away boxes if you’d chosen to sit in.

I had to check out Cutter and Squidge after seeing such great photos of it online.
I’m so glad I did. We had a bit of time to kill before meeting friends for dinner, so we stopped by here. We split two Biskies (basically a soft cookie that they say is between a cake and a cookie filled with delicious fillings): The Salted Caramel ‘Smore and the Gingerbread (because it’s Christmas!). We also got two pots of tea.
I mean it’s not cheap, but the tea was really fantastic. So were the biskies. My favorite was the salted caramel one. It had a nice flavor, and the marshmallow was fantastic. It is a bit hard to eat, but thankfully the cookies are soft, otherwise I think everything would fly out.
I wanted to come back after dinner for cake, but alas they were closed.
I’ll be back.

I had some time to kill so figured I pop in by and grab a slice of cake after having see Cutter and Squidge pop up on a blog I read (not gonna lie, cant remember whos!) I was a bit upset when the store was closed and looked like it was being refurbed only to discover that it was OK and they’ve just moved a couple of stores up the road! All was not lost.
Obviously I wanted to try one of their signature Biskies and it took me quite some time to decide which of their offerings to try. In the end I settled for the flashiest looking one of the lot; The Billionaire — belgian chocolate, salted caramel and shortbread is finished with real 24 carat gold leaf!
What is a biskie you may ask? Well from Cutter & Squidge themselves: «A Biskie is a fresh, unique handmade sandwiched dessert. A creation of biscuit/​cookie/​cake filled with our special lightened buttercream, handmade jams, caramels and other delights. Not to be confused with a macaron or whoopie pie, a Biskie is a moorish blend of crisp, soft, chewy, cakey and creamy delivering a massive flavour fiesta!»
So did it live up to this wondrous claim? Well no, not really. The whole thing was too big to get a bite of everything at once and the cookie bits were hard rather than chewy like I was expected. Don’t get me wrong it was good but it wasn’t £3.50 good in my opinion. They had some really nice looking cakes on display too so I might try one of those in future but I have to say I was a little disappointed in the biskie.

Absolutely beautiful café (cool modern white décor, totally pristine). Beautiful cakes. Beautiful new product– these things called biskies. Basically an ice cream sandwich but with frosting instead of ice cream.
But when it comes to the taste factor, it’s more of a meh. The flavor options sound great on paper (red velvet, salted caramel s’more), but they just don’t taste that great. The cookies don’t seem fresh– pretty dense, like store bought chips ahoy. You can almost taste the preservative. The filling on the s’mores flavor is good, but the meh-​ness of the cookie predominates. And at this price (£3.5 — 4 per biskie) you would have to pretty much be perfect.
