Cafe and cake shop on Theobald's Row, near Gray's Inn Fields, opened in early 2008. Inside, there are a few tables and what looks like a kitchen area up the stairs at the back of the shop. The decor is stylishly dark, though service is friendly.
They have a small selection of salads, quiches and the like, but the focus is clearly on the cakes. A range of spectacular creations is in the window, with all kinds of other ones arrayed along the counter inside — not just cakes, but muffins, biscuits, and a tempting cherry galette.
Having sampled one of their cupcakes (at £1.70 as of February 2008), Ewan can confirm it is a perfect moistness, with a lemony cream topping which isn't overwhelmingly sweet (like the ones from Peyton & Byrne) but light and fluffy. The spinach and stilton quiche I had was also excellent.
