After some fantastic afternoon teas and take away cakes from the shop I reached out to the team about our wedding cake and evening treats for guests. Hannah was amazing throughout, she was super helpful and accommodated all our requests and gave us loads of options on flavours and decorating and accommodated a special bake for vegan and gluten free guests, as well as providing much needed cake boards. Hannah created a beautiful main wedding cake which was delicious! She also made an extra birthday cake for the morning after the wedding and an absolute mountain of assorted tray bakes which were used in our evening buffet. Cannot tell you how many positive comments there were! People went absolutely mad for the tray bakes - the millionaires shortbread disappeared in minutes, we didn’t even have time to get any photos of the baked out before they were all tucked into by grateful guests! Even our neighbours were talking about the bakes the next day! We will 100% be returning for any cake related catering needs going forward! Would recommend you try some of Hannah’s cake either in the shop or directly as it’ll brighten your day!
A Hidden Gem for Tea Lovers in Ampthill
Rating: 4.5/5
Our family recently had the pleasure of visiting the charming vintage tea room, Cakestand and Crumb, located in the picturesque town of Ampthill. Run by the delightful duo of Hannah and her mum Michelle, this quaint establishment offers a lovely setting for afternoon tea.
As visitors from abroad, we were unaware of the 24-hour notice requirement for afternoon tea reservations, especially when catering to dietary restrictions like gluten-free options. Nevertheless, we opted for tea and cake, which turned out to be a delightful experience. Cakestand and Crumb boasts an extensive selection of teas, accompanied by a mouthwatering array of cakes, scones, and, to our delight, gluten-free options.
During our visit, the weather was perfect for enjoying the outdoor terrace, where we savored our tea and cake in the warm sun. The tea room is tucked away from the bustling town center, accessible through a small gate on Church Street, making it a hidden gem in Ampthill.
Ampthill itself is a charming town worth visiting, and Cakestand and Crumb provides the perfect spot for a relaxing afternoon tea or simply indulging in some delicious cakes. We highly recommend this delightful vintage tea room for a memorable and enjoyable experience.
Great little vintage tea room! We hired for exclusive use afternoon tea for a baby shower. The cake selection was great and tasted amazing!!! I love the fact that they have a record player there (which you can connect to to play your own music for function!) Afternoon tea was a great variety of cakes unlimited tea and coffee - excellent value!. Staff very attentive. Also visited with my family prior to event and was impressed then too. Lovely decor, highly recommend ❤️
