I came here last Sunday and it was my first time entering the shop. The shop is very neat. I was after a Diplomat cake slice, however it was finished. A different cake slice was recommended which I had in my car. It was the best dessert I have ever had since moving to the UK. I believe the Eastern Europe cakes are much tastier than cake box and any other desserts shops in my opinion. I really enjoyed it!

Fantastic, simply fantastic. I was walking past this morning, having a conversation and completely didn't even notice the place. Until I caught a wonderful smell! Without a word, my sister and I immediately stopped and turned around in sync. We had to go back and see where the smell was coming from. We were not disappointed. Everything was beautiful to look at and even better to taste. Don't underestimate this place, it's amazing. And so are the owners. A truly delightful experience.

Amazing place, they make the best cakes! So full of flavour and same time very light, not just heavy and sugary as the cakes in the supermarket which taste of nothing except sugar. Their éclairs are amazing! Must have
