Every time I go, the Lily Vanilli team not only serve me up THE most delicious cakes, but no matter how busy they are are always super helpful, friendly and efficient. If you’re ever in the area on a Sunday - which you should be for the flower market FYI! - make sure you visit!

Lily Vanilli made our beautiful wedding cake and I cannot thank her enough! It was incredible and such a talking point. The right mix between quirk, elegance, taste and appearance. Absolutely fabulous!

The best spot to fuel on coffee and pastries on Sunday mornings in East London. Be sure to arrive early to enjoy a moment of calmness in between shopping at the Columbia Road Flower Market.

There's nothing quite like a Lily Vanilli cake. 

These perfectly proportioned beauties show off their unique flavours in a shabby chic rustic style. If cake was fashion, these would be on the front of Vogue magazine.

Ok, so as you may guess, I like the cakes a lot. After squeezing my way through the hustle and bustle, bright colours, witty banter and shouting between the flower sellers of Columbia Road flower market, I found the side street that would lead me towards the bakery. All lit up with a giant VANILLI'S illumination on the wall, hipsters line the chairs by the walls and groups of chatty peeps commandeer the large table in the corner, it can be tricky to get a seat but we managed it. 

The small que just gave me extra time to admire the produce and have a mini argument with myself about which cake I should choose. I went with a lime and cocoa nib mini loaf cake and a latte, both delicious. Another yummy surprise on this busy, wet Sunday was a delicious hot veggie pastry. One satisfied tummy later, I went off to buy a cactus.

Definitely worth a trip to this quirky yet mellow shop with this inventive baker keeping your taste-buds entertained.

SUNDAY & CASH ONLY... probs wait til it's open before you go as this unlucky person who reviewed below missed out!

This is one of my favourite bakeries in London, which is just round the corner from Columbia Road Flower Market.

The place is quite small, with a few tables and chairs if you fancy having a little sit-down. There is always a queue of people, and I often just takeaway as the place does get quite busy. The queue does move quite fast though, and judging by the cakes and pastries on display, they are definitely worth the wait!
The cakes do look really pretty, and they also taste just as good. I most recently tried the pear, parsnip and ginger bundt with glitter berries, pear crisps and salt caramel popcorn which was really moist and delicious. I also had the pear, parsnip and ginger olive oil cakes, and the polenta, beetroot and banana loaf - both really tasty! And of course a nice hot flat white to go.

Besides cake, they also have some nice pastries and toasties, if you're looking for something hot to eat.

Definitely a place worth visiting if you love cake and coffee as much as I do. If only I lived closer...I would most likely be visiting this place every week...

Chocolate cake tasted lovely, subtle hint of caramel, butter icing not too sweet and creamy and set nicely.even but little heavy.Very detailed, would prefer a choice of seasonal flowers but very pretty and classic. White roses which were put into a bowl with water.

A must-visit destination for cake lovers; nestled in a courtyard off Columbia Road Flower Market, you'll find an array of beautiful, soft and delicious cakes. I happened to get some of their Halloween treats in my recent visit, but there's always something new and exciting to see in their ever-changing selection. Their salted caramel chocolate sponge is my favourite.

This is the second cake I have ordered from Lily Vanilli. The team were beyond amazing and accommodated my requests within a very tight timeframe. The cake was for a very special birthday and everyone commented on how stunning it was. There was so much attention to detail and it was delicious too. I would highly recommend Lily Vanilli for the creativity, attention to detail and high level of professionalism. I will definitely be ordering again and highly recommend! Well done!

I ordered a bespoke cake for my daughter's christening which arrived looking beautiful and exactly as I expected! It was absolutely delicious - we chose a chocolate sponge, chocolate infill and vanilla icing, it was the perfect combination! Erica was extremely helpful and prompt at replying to all my emails. I would highly recommend Lily Vanilli and will definitely be ordering from them again in the future.

Amazing bakery!!! I made a mistake with the delivery options when ordering my birthday cake, which almost meant I wouldn’t get it in time, but thanks to amazing communication from the staff we were able to get around the situation! The cake was stunning and tasted AMAZING!! Would definitely recommend!
