Hummingbird Bakery

Had the snickers cupcake — Really yum. Downside the price. No space to sit and eat as only a few seats.

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.

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

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.

Smaller than the other branches in Notting Hill or Soho, this Hummingbird Bakery offers the same or even more (as is less busy!) than the others. It is more a take away place as it only has 3 or 4 stools facing the wall, but when the weather is nice, you can sit outside and enjoy the coffee and the cupcakes!
All the cupcakes are amazing! My favourites are the Red Velvet and the Black Bottom Cupcakes: DELICIOUS!
Apart from cupcakes, that is the speciality, they also offer cakes, brownies and other sweets as well as coffee and a small shop where they sell some merchandising and their recipe books!
Four stars out of five because there is no space to enjoy your sweets inside!

It was my birthday this week and normally my baking family opts for homemade cake. Unfortunately, it was a very busy week at work for all of us, so we had to resort to buying a cake. Where to buy it from? The choice was easy. I am a huge fan of the Hummingbird delicacies! Pretty much all of their flavours are amazing. Especially when it comes to their most popular red velvet cake, which happens to be my favourite type of cake. Their cream cheese frosting is to die for! I got a red velvet cake for my birthday and it was delicious. The decoration and the icing job looks so classy and the cake itself was so tasty. The cream cheese frosting does a great job of cutting through the sweetness of the cake. I think the cake itself was a bit dense compared to the homemade version my sister makes, but overall the combination tasted great. plus the cake kept very well even after a few days. Very impressed!

Cute little American bakery. It’s very tiny inside seating wise, with enough space for around 4 people, so not as big as other hummingbird stores, making it more of a takeaway place. Don’t let that put you off though, the cakes are to die for.
My personal favourite would be the lemon raspberry ripple cake, closely followed by the the rainbow cake. Portion sizes are very generous and more than enough to keep you satisfied. There’s a wide range of cupcakes, cakes, brownies and whoopie pies. The monthly specials change and are always worth a look.
Price wise it’s a little on the expensive side, especially if you sit in, with a slice of cake roughly £4.50 to takeaway and over £5 to eat in, so not a place to visit everyday, but well worth the odd visit.

J’en avais entendu parler et je voulais goûter et je reviendrais! :)
The Hummingbird Bakery est une vraie bakery comme j’adore avec une vitrine alléchante, des couleurs rose/​violette très girly et plein de choix de pâtisseries so british!
Dès qu’on entre, on se sent bien! L’accueil est très chaleureux, les vendeuses sont so cute et la vision des cupcakes est yummy!
Et là encore, on a du choix: 10 sortes de cupcakes basiques, 2 sortes de cupcakes spécial Pâques, 4 énormes gâteaux plein de crème, 4 cakes et brownies, 2 cheesecakes, 3 whoopies et des gâteaux type sablés/​cookies… Bref, du choix! :)
Pour le petit déjeuner, on choisit un whoopie à la citrouille et cannelle et une tranche de cake au citron avec 2 thés! Eh ben il n’en restait plus une miette… La crème n’est pas trop lourde dans le whoopie et le citron était super bien dosé!
On peut rester dans le magasin pour déguster mais il n’y a que 4 places.
Concernant les prix, on est dans la moyenne anglaise mais un peu cher quand même: 3,50£ le whoopie, 3£ la part de cake citron, les cupcakes sont à 3,50£ et les parts des gâteaux 5,20£… Mais c’est tellement bon!
Elle n’est pas loin de King Cross, tout en haut de Pentonville Road… A pied vous y êtes en 15 minutes à peine.
Allez-​y sans hésiter! Il y a d’autres adresses dans la ville dont une proche d’Oxfort Street… Pensez à la pause goûter pendant le shopping! :)

Just so yum! I highly recommend the only thing I ever eat there — WHOOPIE PIES!!! All the flavours are yummy and far easier than making your own (which I did before I discovered that they sell them here).
If you only try the cupcakes, please give the whoopie’s a try. And lucky, they’re big enough to share.

I AM SOOO HAPPY THERE IS A NEW LOCATION NEAR MY NEIGHBORHOOD!
Every now and then, when my sweet tooth aches, I don’t want a scone! Or a croissant! Or baklava! I just need good ol’ American CAKE.
If you get there at a good time there is plenty of selection and sometimes are still warm from the oven. My personal faves are carrot cake and red velvet. They also have seasonal cupcakes. Right now, they have an Eton Mess cupcake, and it is wonderful! Imagine a soft vanilla cake with not-​too-​sweet frosting then topped with strawberries and meringue sprinkled on top!
The location is only 5 minutes from Angel tube station and right by tons of businesses. So it makes it easy to grab dessert after lunch or if you need an afternoon pick-​me-​up before you drop from all the shopping.
So welcome to the neighborhood Hummingbird! I will be visiting often!

Boutique American style cupcake place hits the streets of London. They also serve up some other options such as brownies, woopie pies, and cakes. Everything is beautifully made. They even have some gluten free options which I always think is a plus. It is actually hard to eat them because they are so beautiful. They always have a special flavor of the day/​week (couldn’t remember what they said). It is definitely expensive, but if you like cupcakes they do them well, and have a good selection to choose from. I liked that they were moist and not dry, and the frosting while sweet wasn’t overpowering of the flavor in the cake. I thought that everything blended well nicely together. The service was also helpful and friendly. I had a fantastic apple strudel that actually had pieces of baked apple in the center of the cupcake. It was very tasty.

Overpriced and overrated.

When the birthday boy mentioned in passing that he wasn’t much for desserts but did love a good Key lime pie, I noted it down as any good friend, neighbour or colleague would. Then I began a search of London. Could I procure Key limes and make the pie myself? That idea quickly fell flat and that’s where Hummingbird Bakery appeared. Via their website I was able to order and pay for the pie and pick it up at this, their new Angel location.
The process was easy and the people working there were as sweet as their baked goods.
Only problem was the pie. Nice as it was, every person who’d had proper Key lime pie in the past had the same reaction after tucking in: it lacked the punchy zest — the mouth puckering tanginess — they always associate with this dessert.
