Euphorium Bakery

This bakery coffee place started off well, looks funky, cakes look appetising, many people but then it started going down the hill:
Strike 1: when taking my order they were closer to annoyed then feeling me welcomed, but that’s understandable they were busy.
Strike 2: they did manage to forget about my order, I waited 10 – 15 min and then had to remind them.
Strike 3: they apologies for the delay but in the end I can see they rushed my flat white, it was too hot and bitter which indicates not good pressure and heat used when making it.
The first two point happen and understandable, but I can not forgive point 3. Being delayed shouldn’t print you to provide a sub par product.
This is my first review of this place, I will return to see if it was just a one off.

I find this chain bland and as much as the cakes and pastries look fancy, the taste of them do not appear worlds apart. Overpriced bakery there to appear fancy via marketing.

This place is supercute. I was drenched in the standard British-​summertime rain after an interview and wanted to kill some time in Waterstones nearby — BUT my tummy was rumbling and I needed the loo. Quick Unilocal search pulled up this place which managed to look warm, light and airy despite the dismal London weather. Popped in and bought a huge yummy focaccia (which took me 3 days to finish in the end!) for just £3, and then much-​relieved, whiled the afternoon away with some books til the rain finally stopped for a breather!

I’ve been in here a couple times now — once for a pastry-​type thing and this morning for an Americano. The staff is lovely and the atmosphere is cozy and busy, but not overly packed, which was nice for that time of the morning.
I personally found their coffee to be a bit on the bitter side for me with an aftertaste that just wasn’t my jam, but that might just be a personal preference. I also found the pastry (an almond croissant) to be a bit on the dry side, even though it was still early in the day — but again, maybe that’s just how it is and I’m the ugly American with persnickety tastes. Who knows.
But I’d drop in again, if just for something quick — some of the other pastries looked good and the flat whites and lattes looked delicious.

Euphorium Bakery is a cute, little bakery located at the bottom of Upper Street close to Angel Station serving an array of delicious ‘looking’ cakes.
First things first about this particular bakery is the popularity of it. Who would have thought that such a bakery would be so busy on a cold and rainy Sunday afternoon to the point of having to snatch 2 empty seats quickly due to the fear of not being able to sit down and having to choose another spot to enjoy a coffee and a cake. With the quantity of customers and the length of time people were residing inside (whether due to rain or pure enjoyment) surely does say something about the bakery as a whole, but that being said, our choice of seats were too close to our neighbours as all other tables and chairs were, which didn’t make it uncomfortable but a little unpleasant.
Coffee & Cake Time:
I was merely disappointed for 2 reasons.
First reason being the quality of the coffee as it was in my opinion a standard cappucino that lacked the real coffee bean roasting in pure coffee harmony taste, which was a shame and the second reason for disappointment being the choices (or lack of) delicious ‘looking’ cakes on offer.
In regards to the cakes, I must be honest and say that there was a decent selection to choose from but I’ve seen a larger selection at many other places. I opted for the banana cake for myself which had a nice texture, portion size was great but lacked ooomph (wouldn’t recommend) and I also purchased the Victoria cake which was well designed, well texturised and very tasty for my partner in which I was envious of his choice afterwards.
**Quality looking bakery in a quality area. No wifi provided by the bakery itself, but there are plenty of hotspots (The Cloud) to connect with. I would come back to Euphorium but not before trying out other bakeries in Islington. Apart from the banana cake, the average tasting cappucino and busy and lack of space, I can give a thumbs up because the staff were nice. and friendly and you also get a deal (coffee and cake for £4.20) so you’re not breaking the bank and I’m sure there are a lovely bunch of other cakes besides the banana cake**

It was a crazy cold day — seriously, where has all this wind come from?!, and we needed a place to have a sit-​in to get warm and caffeine up. When we popped in, it was packed… but we got lucky and a table for four freed up — hurray!
We each got a coffee (a latte, mocha and a flat white, if you’re interested), and they were all great. We also splurged and picked out some sweets — a lemon tart, carrot cake and an éclair. All delicious!
Definitely pop in if you’re up in Angel and needing a pick-​me-​up.

Euphorium is a cute bakery/​coffee shop in the Angel area. Located minutes away from the tube, it is a cozy spot to grab a cup of java and a sweet treat. While seating is limited, the pastry selection is not; Euphorium offers a variety of baked goods. Their eclairs are heavenly and by the looks of it — so are their other options. The queue is notoriously long for this very reason. Seating is a bit limited, but people are often coming and going so the wait isn’t so bad. I would definitely come back here!

I love that this bakery is more than okay with two dozen gays just taking over most of the place to yammer in bad French. One bread-​slinging lady even joins in every once in a while.
Usual selection of bakery goods, and the apple tart isn’t too shabby.
There’s a cozier downstairs area if you’re looking for more privacy.

I’ve been going to Euphorium Bakery for many years
This time I got the Roast Chicken Salad. A very generous serving of massive chicken pieces and avocado.
Usually I end up here with really good friends for a lazy afternoon of coffee and cake.
I would suggest Euphorium Bakery for friends catch-​ups, but not for large groups or birthday parties.
Euphorium Bakery is all about the chilled out newspaper reading time.

Thank yoooou euphorium bakery!
My friend and I went out for drinks on Monday evening… and for some reason I was extra-​lightweight! I managed to be quite tipsy after just two drinks (even though I had eaten loooads for dinner)
So…my friend, noticing my less-​than-​sober state, suggested we should go for cake, rather than another drink. We wandered down the road to the lovely Euphorium bakery and chose a couple of delicious deserts. My tipsy-​ness may have contributed to the complete-​joy that is their strawberry tart… but who cares?! It was really delicious and apparently my strawberry-​munching smile was comparable to the Cheshire cat.
— I may have fallen down the steps on the way out *slightly embarrassing*
— I may have also left my shopping (a huge spice rack) at the front of the shop *even more embarrassing*
BUT the staff saved it for me, so I could collect it the following day, still slightly embarrassed, but happy not to lose my spice rack. Yay!

Bester Bäcker weit und breit.
Croissants stehen auf der Empfehlungsliste soweit oben wie das Schwarzbrot scandinavian rye bread
Sehr lecker und genau das richtige fuer alle die mal was zum beissen haben wollen

I came here on Sunday with my boyfriend as the que for the breakfast club was ridiculous. As a bakery I thought the sandwiches and lunch would be more fresh. I had the chicken ciabatta with avocado and pesto. It was full of mayonnaise, I literally had to scrape it off the bread as I could taste nothing but mayonnaise and it made me feel sick. A staff member walked passed and saw me doing this then just looked away, clearly knowing it looked absolutely awful and probably wouldn’t eat it herself! The bread was rock hard, I thought I was going to chip a tooth!
My boyfriend has the ham and mustard baguette, again his bread was rock hard and when we opened to see the filling it really didn’t look appetising. The coffee was awful! I usually only have 1 sugar but I put two in to make the taste a little bare able… did not work!
I didn’t try the cakes so can’t judge but for somewhere that sells fresh bread and is supposed to be the fresh bakery, the location and the busy clientele I thought my experience would be worth it… it wasn’t. Our lunch really wasn’t fresh and they need to sort out the generosity of mayonnaise in everything!
