Went back at the end of July as I have seen it on the street and was intrigued to see this recently new small business (and me having a sweet tooth it was calling me).
When I walked in I was as greeted nicely and loved the interior design- it was pink, bubbly, really looked like those American bakery shops, so very inviting inside. My order was taken within minutes.
There was a multitude of items on the menu, having the blackboard did help somewhat although it could be hard to navigate at times because there was so much, so perhaps having laminated menus at the front is easier to read and more legible.
My order:
- Oreo and Salted Caramel Milkshake (Regular) £5.90
- Milk Chocolate Cookie Dough (they also offer white chocolate and red velvet) £4.50
The milkshake was a good size for a regular although a bit pricey if I am honest, perhaps should be in the under £5 range for regular and then large can charge more. It was very nice, could taste the perfect blend of Oreo and that salted caramel just gave it that extra kick in the drink. Great drink overall
The cookie dough was good for what it was, however a bit anti climatic and disappointing. It took 17 mins to cook, which is quite long in my opinion. Additionally, it was on the overcooked size, a bit burnt to be honest. Cookie dough should be gooey, warm and chewy, not like a biscuit which is what I received. Because of this, it kind of ruined the milk chocolate flavour.
Additionally the portion at first glance was small, however when having additional sweet items, it makes sense to not have a huge portion otherwise it will be sickly to eat.
Overall, Cakes on the Corner is a nice addition to Camberwell, with the many multitude of options being great that there is something for everyone. Great location as well, easily accessible, however on the time to make certain items and the cook time on them can be improved.
If you are looking for a sweet treat, make sure to check out this local small business and support.
Thank you Cakes on the Corner LTD🍰💖
