Great and helpful team at the Covent Garden kiosk. Removed a star as I had asked for a vegan cake, but it was unidentifiable, once put into the box(es) of 12 cakes, so the vegan was unable to eat it... See more

Lovely cake by Lola's!

Another brilliant cake (Victoria sponge) for my daughter's 8th birthday! I've been getting Lola's birthday cake for my daughter for the last few years which she absolutely loves. The cakes are always fresh with great taste, lovely presentation, and not too sweet! We were out in Central London so I pre-ordered and collected it in store which was very easy.

Hi,

Thank you for your feedback.

We do charge a £2.50 collection fee for any orders under £30. Orders over £30 would be free to collect.

The reason for this collection fee, is to help account for the logistics costs for small orders. All orders are delivered to the stores in our refrigerated electric vehicles, so we have to take this into account.

I will in any case, be sure to pass your feedback on to the relevant person.

If you'd like to discuss this further, please email hello@lolascupcakes.com.

Best wishes,

Nikky

Sceptical but happily surprised!

I was a little sceptical about how good these cakes taste, especially when someone had raved on and on about them!

I picked a small chocolate and raspberry one (feeds 8…or 2 in our case!) and all I really need to say, is that the first slice lasted about 20 seconds - moist sponge, packed with flavour and cream cheese that complimented the sponge rather than overpowering it.

It was simply fantastic!

I picked it up from the Covent Garden store on the day of collection and the lady there was also incredibly friendly, opening up the box to show me prior to bagging it…simply and easy.

I can without question say, that next time I need a cake for any occasion, a quick trip into London will be taken to try another variety (or maybe the same one!)

Highly recommend trying if you haven’t before.

First time ordering a cake was the worse

I made the order and picked it up on time. Got home and placed it in the fridge only to find out on the next day that the berries from a « fresh berry cake » were rotten. When I called I was asked if I placed it in the fridge over night and I said yes. But when I got there they asked it again a million times making it seem like it was my fault but berries don’t just grow in a couple of hours if they were fresh. I reiterated that it was in the fridge and the lady said “next time just place it in the fridge”. I was so angry because they had already ruined my surprise for my best friends birthday and called customer service who asked me the same thing and said I was given two cakes back (he said the shop people wrote down that they gave me a cake extra to compensate) when I’m actual fact they did not and I had to go and do something else whilst they wrote on the cake. When I asked for my refund they said they can’t compensate if they have already given me another cake when the whole situation was their fault and I asked for a report because they were going to send it to be “investigated” by the bakery, which has not been sent to me till today. They only refunded half of the price and made it seem like they tried their hardest to fix the situation when they did nothing to go the extra mile to fix their mess. Still waiting on the report

Hi Brise,

Thank you for taking the time to leave your review.

I would like to assure you this is not a regular occurrence with us, and does not reflect our usual standards in any way.

We do freshly source our fruit every day, however, very rarely there can be a few berries which slip through the cracks.

I am very sorry you found the fruits to be mouldy inside your cake and thank you for returning the make to our store to allow it to be tested.

We are all trained to ask how a cake is stored to allow us to pass this feedback on to investigate the issue further.

I am sorry for any confusion but the testing is done internally and logged by our bakery manager.

The store let us know that they had a cake to replace the one you returned and on top of this we part refunded your order.

I am very sorry for the upset caused and I will be sending you an email to discuss this further.

Kind regards,
Shona

Husbands Birthday cake.

First time visiting the branch and was great customer experience, gentleman was knowledgeable and polite and explained the different varieties. The only thing that I was disappointed in was even thou I was collecting my husband’s birthday cake I didn’t understand why I was being charged £2.50 to collect it, even thou I avoided the delivery charge how is it possible that customers are still being charged £2:50 to collect? Still doesn’t makes no sense at all and think it’s wrong to charge when customers are collecting! I was told by the assistant it was a trial.Such a shame, I wont be returning anytime soon, especially when a member of my staff told me they didn’t have to pay for there’s last year! :(

Hi Sarah,

Thank you for taking the time to leave us a review.

I am very sorry to hear that you are disappointed with our collection fee of £2.50, we do add this fee for orders under £30.

Bespoke orders differ greatly from regular store items available for sale. These orders do require extra steps involved, which require extra people and time.

With all the rising prices, we wanted to avoid pushing the price of our cupcakes/cakes any further, and for this reason decided to apply the small fee.

If you do wish to discuss this any further, please feel free to contact us on hello@lolascupcakes.com.

Best wishes,

Chloe

Good choice for birthday cake

Order a customized Black Forest cake online and picked it up at Covent Garden store. It was smooth and easy, with prior order only 2 days in advance, which is very convenient. The cake was good, using cream cheese as coat made it an extra special taste. And candle is available in the store when picking up the order.

Such a fantastic service

Such a fantastic service! I ordered just a few days before my 6 y/o’s birthday. They truly did a fantastic job with the perfect, sprinkle covered, colourful, unicorn cake. Can’t get over the speed of their service and the amazing quality of the cake. A bunch of happy, hyper children and parents alike. Definitely recommend! There were no compromise on either taste or appearance. Both 5 star!
