From a warm, buttery croissant served from a canal boat to super rich cakes, these are guaranteed to hit the spot.
Almond croissant: The Floating Boulangerie
Classic French croissant filled with creamy, custardy frangipane – still warm from the oven, oozing straight out – and thinly sliced almonds on top. The Floating Boulangerie cruises across London but you can find them in Little Venice until the end of May.
Rembrandt Garden, Little Venice
Raspberry white chocolate cookie: Eat ‘n’ Mess
A soft, chewy cookie with freeze-dried raspberries, white chocolate chips and a folding of cream cheese, it’s sweet and tangy in equal measure.
Broadway Market. Saturdays only.
Salted caramel cupcake: The Lily Vanilli Bakery
Dark chocolate cake with vanilla buttercream – light as a feather, creamy and so fluffy – a drizzle of salted caramel sauce and caramel-coated popcorn on top.
18 Ezra St, London E2 7RH
Brioche con gelato: Duci
A lightly toasted, super fluffy brioche bun sliced in half with Sicilian almond gelato – nutty, super sweet, like marzipan in ice cream form – and a scoop of ricotta sour cherry.
8 Devonshire Rd, London W4 2HD
Tiramisu cake: Signorelli Bakery
Vanilla sponge with Signorelli’s signature coffee brew, the most wonderful mascarpone frosting – thick, creamy, tangy and just a tad sweet – plus a dusting of cocoa powder on top.
