First time visiting after having baked repeatedly from the first cookbook. Absolutely exceeded expectations - wish I lived in London so I could become a regular. Loved getting a signed edition of the latest cook book!
I’ve been visiting Violet for over a decade and they make the most delicious cakes! The coffee and savoury food is also lovely. My young daughter is a huge fan and we’ve always had great service. I also love that they support their local community - thank you! Photos are a nostalgic throwback from t
Friendly staff but have to say that the cupcakes are a bit expensive. Nevertheless, I’m not going to lie: the salted caramel cupcakes at Violet are to die for!
The only reason for me not giving this place a 5 is because I recently purchased their vegan cake ( a slice of it) and it tasted a bit stal
One of our favourite bakeries in London for a reason. Located in a peaceful neighbourhood it’s a go to for an afternoon sweet pickup dessert and coffee. Would totally recommend their egg yolk sea salt cookies and cupcakes too! Need to try more of their warm and savoury dishes.
Best scone I’ve ever had!!! Cakes were not my preference but I can tell they are good ! Can’t wait to try again!
I love this place but it has gotten more expensive over the years, so I cant justify the cost to eat their goods as often as I like. I have brought the new cook book, can cook the treats at an affordable budget. Faves are the vegan cupcake, salted egg cookie, sour cream and chives scone, pumpkin qui
American-style cakes are hard to come by in London bakeries in my experience, so this place was such a joy. I travelled all the way from South London to visit Violet and I was not disappointed. Their oat and Californian cookies were also glorious - so chewy. The chocolate sponge cupcake with the vio
Ordered a birthday cake from here after seeing rave reviews. The lemon and elderflower cake was really good with proper lemon flavour coming through. Would only suggest that they dial back on the buttercream a bit. The thick layer on the outside detracts from the flavour of the cake
Nice and quiet cafe. Their cupcakes were really good, one of the best I had, very light and tasty in the same time. Cookies were good as well. Had a coffee as will which was good.The options were limited but I would like to try more things in the future.
Lovely bakery in the heart of East London, a lot of character and very good coffee and food. Maybe some of the items in the savoury menu are slightly overpriced but in general is a great spot. Kimchi toastie is a must and so are their baked goods. The location is also gorgeous (even better if sunny)
Delicious cakes. I absolutely loved the fact that this venue is in a very quiet road between Hackney and Dalston. Loved also the understated decor and the focus on cakes.
I was very pleased with my Amalfi lemon elderflower cake. it was delicious and the cake was the perfect consistency.

Me and my partner like this lovely cafe. We especially like the avocado on toast. The quality of ingredients are exceptional and the flavours are well balanced. However, we have a couple of points we wish to improve.
1. Single-use plate and cutlery
It looks like they use compostable plates and cutl
Such a lovely place. Really lovely staff. The lady who served me was so nice, happy and polite. The chap took time and care making my coffee. The coffee and cinnamon bun were both great! Thanks guys!
