The place itself is really pink, shiny and pretty (like any cupcakery should be). Staff are lovely and you leave the place feeling...” more...

The golden Aladdin-cave store is absolutely tiny, warm and smells like rich hot chocolate. I was completely charmed before I even tried a macaroon, of which there are about 12 varieties including Sea Salt Caramel,...” more...

I wanted some pretty cupcakes to send to a friend leaving her job. But I didn't want to pay through the roof for them (and after being quoted £6 a cupcake by one well known cupcake...” more...

The pastry is really amazing, and so thick that you get a mouthful of that before you even TOUCH the mince pie filling. The filling...” more...

But the cakes were the first I have had in this country that were of the standard of places like Magnolia New York. Pleasantly surprised I bought a box...” more...

Even though it's out of my North London comfort zone, it was well worth the trip and I can't wait to go again. If this place had wifi I'd move in. The first thing that you notice on...” more...

Sometimes they'll be lovely, and sometimes they'll be a bit frosty. So I'm taking a...” more...

I *loved* the decor, it's like it was decorated by a slightly eccentric great-aunt (or those twins from Angela Carter's 'Wise Children'). It's very shabby, but in a charming and...” more...

If you haven't yet gone to Bea's, I seriously recommend you going there right this instant. The baked goods (for want of a better generic term covering cupcakes, brownies and assorted pastries) are incredible. And the Sunday High Tea is amazing.
