Primrose Hill has two cupcake shops. This one wins my vote as the cupcakes are moist, the children inside well-minded (not screaming and throwing tantrums) and they do great coffee by Nude. Also wonderful sunny spot outside to sit and enjoy life on the high street.
Right, the cupcakes. Moist, delicious, not that fake sugar frosting business. All butter frostings - did I mention they do gluten-free options too? If an adult size cupcake isn't up your alley try a baby cupcake - and about 1/3 of the calories. Delicious! Fun flavours too - red velvet, salted caramel and my favourite - peanut butter!
Now, the fro-yo is a disappointment. For a 'tub' with one topping will run you £4. Definitely Primrose pricing - yikes! It's like 'air' in a 'tub' - meaning too light and fluffy to justify the cost. You're better to stick with the ice cream, sorbet and chilled coffees and chocolate...or just head back towards Chalk Farm tube station and get your fill at...
Read moreWe absolutely loved our afternoon tea picnic, thank you so much!
We had come to London for the weekend and my daughter was keen to have afternoon tea. I found your site while doing a search last week and, having seen the weather, thought your outdoors option would be perfect. We had a lovely picnic on Primrose Hill; your bakes were beautiful and your staff were so helpful and accommodating.

All in all, afternoon tea from Sweet Things was a fantastic way to relax and reflect on our trip before heading back to the airport, an experience I would definitely recommend to anyone visiting London.
Once again, thank you to you and all your staff for enabling me to give my daughter such a lovely experience, I am sure we’ll be back next time we...
Read moreI have never written a negative online review but I was so disappointed this morning. I ordered a coffee and was immediately told I was only allow to stay for an hour due to the lunchtime rush (did they know that I was/n't going order lunch?) and then as I sat down to start my meeting the manager whipped out a sign that was under a menu to tell me that I wasn't allowed to use my laptop. I was told I could use Starbucks.
I took my £8 oat flat white in a to go cup and left. Flabbergasted is an understatement. The lady who was sat next to me was also bluntly told she wasn't allowed to use her laptop due to the "rush" (there were 4 other people in the restaurant!) also left.
The morale of the story if you don't want people to be consuming your very expensive coffee whilst working, display a sign in the front shop window so people are aware of your inhospitable approach to...
