Biscuteers Boutique & Icing Café

Thursday, 12th of May 2016

Lately I have been on a personal mission of trying to find unsual places here in London, such as cafés with a quirky decorations, different types of products or with a nice outdoor sitting area.

Until now, I was lucky enough to find places like the Farm Girl Café or the Hummingbird Bakery, as I have previously mentioned in other posts. However, there is always a time when your luck runs out or you just fail to succeed your aim.

I was walking through Notting Hill after a very tiring day, I had been for a two hour walk in Hyde Park and I just wanted to find somewhere quiet and nice looking to relax and have something to drink before collapsing with dehydration, when I found this quirky store called Biscuteers Boutique & Icing Café.

When you are outside looking in, it looks almost like a fairytale shop and with the sun shining bright, the colors from the streets enhance the beauty of the glass window fully decorated with biscuits and flowers. I heard that when its raining, the colors of the buildings fade away but this store still manages to maintain a pituresque look, giving the sensation that you just entered a parisian boutique.

So far so good, I was quite enchanted with their outside door and window, and even when I entered the shop, the sweet picture maintained.

It was only when I sat down and looked at the menu that I got disappointed, there was not a variety of products and most of them were pretty expensive. I decided to order an apple juice, thinking it would be something refreshing and natural. To my amazement, I was giving a bottle of a packed juice and a glass.

I stayed there for a while and when leaving to pay the bill, I couldn't understand how I had just spent 2.90£ on that.

So if you want my honest opinion, don't go here to have a snack but if you want, it is a good place for a photo.
