So, in 2012, I'm making it my aim to visit lot's of different quaint cafes/cupcake shops/tea rooms. Starting with the Upsy Daisy Bakery in Hammersmith, West London.
According to the website, they sell various flavours of cupcakes, but my friend Bebe and I went for the classic chocolate and vanilla, and we shared them. They were gooooooood.
We didn't go for afternoon tea, just simply stopped by for tea and cupcakes. If you're interested, I chose Earl Grey. If you aren't interested, I told you anyway.
It was so lovely seeing old fashioned sweet jars filled with sweets. They also sold mugs, teapots and homemade jams! It was like being in a quiet corner of the English countryside, only we were on a busy road in London!
BUNTING. I mean, who doesn't love bunting.
And there we are, standing outside the bakery. The whole menu looks scrummy, so I will definitely be there for brunch at one point. Scrambled eggs and salmon on toast, I'm coming for you.
I pass this bakery twice a day, every single day on my way to and from school, so I'm surprised that I'd never popped in. However, I will definitely return again and again, stop buying from Starbucks and support the local, because it would be such a shame to see it disappear.
Lucy, I love your blog and I love the Upsy Daisy! We often have staff lunches and meetings there, as it is literally round the corner from my house. Hannah was a slave to the fish finger sandwich while Mat prefers the beans on toast with cheese on top. Briony is mad about the smoothies - I love the caramel cupcake with the gooey caramel inside. They have a wicked hot chocolate with marsh mallow too......See you there sometime!
