I've been wanting to try cupcakes at Primrose Bakery since I discovered it existed when looking at maps of London online (near where I used to work) and discovering many fantastic reviews. Primrose Bakery is located on one of the side streets running parallel behind Covent Garden (on Tavistock Street). Although I was based near to Covent Garden for approximately two months, I never tried the cupcakes.
I had visitors at the end of November (my parents), and we ended up deciding to make an extra trip to London on one Monday, so I decided to make a trip to Primrose Bakery to try the cupcakes. I must say that I was impressed. The bakery itself is a tiny shop at the corner of the street, and there are only a handful of tables to sit on and enjoy the cupcakes. As it was a quiet Monday morning (nearly mid-day), we were able to sit at one of these tables to enjoy our cupcakes. I loved the cute and cozy shop, and it is perfectly-positioned for some fantastic people-watching with its large windows.
The cupcakes are among the best that I have had in London; I loved the texture, and the icing was not too sweet. (Hummingbird Bakery cupcakes are too rich/sweet for me, and the icing is too sugary and sickening for my taste.) I had a pumpkin cupcake, and I also tried the chocolate and the vanilla one. All were equally delicious. I am looking forward to my next visit.
