Sweet white chocolate or more complex with butterscotch, slightly melted or chewy and crunchy, simple – no added mix-ins, just pure blondie batter – or full of cherry conserve, these are London’s best blondies.
Butterscotch blondie: The Pudding Stop
A cookie dough-like blondie with butterscotch – small crispy pieces and big chewy chunks – plus the perfect amount of chocolate chips, it’s thick and super fudgy, a little chewy and very rich.
Panzer’s Deli, Selfridges Food Hall or online for nationwide delivery.
Cherry bakewell blondie: AJ’s Cakes & Bakes
Cherry bakewell blondie with cherry and raspberry conserve, it’s small and sweet, full of almond flavour – in the batter, in the icing, plus more almond flakes on top – and so moist.
Dickens Yard Market, Duck Pond Market or online for nationwide delivery.
Custard cream blondie: AJ’s Cakes & Bakes
Custard blondie with Madagascan vanilla and pieces of custard cream biscuits on top, it’s dense and chewy, sweet but never sickly.
Dickens Yard Market, Duck Pond Market or online for nationwide delivery.
Butterscotch blondie: Violet Bakery
Brown sugar blondie on a crackly, sticky shard of butterscotch, it’s crisp and chewy, rich – not sweet or vanilla-y – with such a deep, warming caramel flavour throughout.
47 Wilton Way, London E8 3ED. Open for take-away.
Cranberry blondie: Outsider Tart
Big, American-style blondies with dried cranberries and heaps of white chocolate, it’s soft – almost underbaked, with a creamy, super moist texture – and so sweet.
83 Chiswick High Rd, London W4 2EF. Open for take-away and nationwide delivery.
Blondie: Pearl & Groove
Gluten-free blondie with dark chocolate buttons, it’s fluffy like sponge, warming and nutty – with a browned butter, buckwheat flour batter – and not at all sweet.
30 Exmouth Market, London EC1R 4QE. Open for take-away and local delivery.
Blondie: The Alberts Deli
Classic blondie without any chocolate chunks or added flavour, it’s dense but not dry, slightly crispy – on top, at the bottom, around the outside if you get a corner piece – simple but very generous.
2 Worple Way, London TW10 6DF. Open for take-away and local delivery.
Blondie: The Brownie Box
Thin, buttery-sweet blondies with big chunks of white chocolate – sometimes warm from the oven, always plentiful – or extra treats from Smarties to red velvet, these little squares melt in your mouth.
247 Old Brompton Rd, London SW5 9HP. Open for take-away and nationwide delivery.
Banana blondie: Sweet Tooth Factory
Banana blondie full of banana purée – no artificial banana flavouring – and a fine layer of Nutella in the middle, it’s rich but not overpowering, sweet but never sickly, crispy on top and so soft underneath.
