Paddy Cakes in Camden

As cheesy as it might sound, I truly think this is the best bakery I have ever been in London. For once, forget about the new Instagram sensation, the bakery of moment, the last London hype and open yourself to the pleasure of the unknown. Impossible to even imagine what these guys may come up with this week. Definitively not the same as last week and 100% delicious, every single time. I lost count of the times I was literally shocked by the combination of flavours, the variety of products and the beauty of their pastries and their savoury treats. You can clearly feel the deep love for food that drove these guys up to the very top of my favourite places in London. Do yourself an immense favour and give it a go. You won't be disappointed. Super hyper recommended!

Seriously good baked goods. And Paddy was really nice, too, answering all my questions!

A lovely place that always makes you feel welcome. Absolutely have to try the carrot cake! It's really light, not overly sickly but amazing flavours - whole family loved it! Will definitely be back.

The best coffee in Tufnell Park by a mile, and cakes that are obviously the work of a cake making genius. Highly recommend. UPDATE: the “batman” might be the best cookie that has ever existed

I loveeeee the cheesecake, the strawberry, the blueberry and now he has a rum and raisin 🤤the banana pudding is divine! Lovely customer service, relaxing environment and the dirty chai is my favourite cuppa, I’m addicted.

Paddy made our wedding cake for our wedding in August. It was exactly as we had planned it in the shop, and tasted and looked amazing! Thank you to the team for this :)

I love this bakery & the name.The service was great & I met one of the owners (Chrystal). I was made to feel very welcome & had a wonderful chat.The Pain aux Raisin was the best I have tasted.The pastry was delicious. 👏🏽👏🏽 I will be back again & will let my friends know about the Bakery 💫💎

Cozy spot with great treats and lovely staff!

Paddy and Chrystal are so lovely and it shows that everything in this fantastic little bakery is made by them with love, care and beautiful precision. A hidden gem and definitely worth a visit for a coffee and a world class cheesecake

'The best banana bread' couldn't be truer! Delicious coffee to go with it, good wifi and great owner & team to go with it 🤩

I can confirm that this is, as advertised, the BEST Banana Bread in the world. Try it and see.

Great (iced) coffee! Chill vibes

The pastry’s are really good and the barista is really welcoming and is nice to have a conversation with, I can’t wait to try the cakes as they look really good!

If you love food, and baked goods in particular then you really need to pay this place a visit. Quite possibly one of London's hidden gems tucked away quite unassumingly. Patrick really knows his way around a kitchen and you can tell by the magic he creates. If you really want a treat for your taste buds then try the baked cheesecake. I've tried the world renowned San Sebastian's cheesecake and it wasn't a patch on this.

THE BESTTTT. I go to Paddy multiple times through the year for all my special occasions. The taste, presentation, vibe, everything about this shop is beyond any other cake/ coffee shop I’ve experienced in the world. Highest recommendations, you’ll be taken back by their unique recipes and outstanding quality. 1000 stars

Trust me when I say you'd need to visit this place for yourself and have a personal experience. CAKES with CLASS I call it. Thank me later!!!

Grabbed an iced latte and almond croissant for take away. The service was great - I’d definitely go back to try their menu items.

Beautiful space and great selection of treats. Picked up lemon tart with a chocolate biscuit base/crust. It was delicious! Can't wait to try their pastries next time. Lovely and warm owners, the service was inviting and looking forward to returning!

Delicious red velvet cupcakes and cake slice (the best I’ve had in a long time)! Went last minute to grab cupcakes for a birthday, and these were absolutely perfect!

The owner/baker is lovely and friendly company, which comes free with the food 😊

Paddy just DOESNT MISS. Everything iv bought from here is absolutely delicious. Best pastries in London!

Unbelievably delicious. The cookies are out of this world - try the batman, and the chocolate chip, if you’re lucky enough to get a chance. Wow, just wow. The mini pizzas - I mean, obviously pizza is always going to be delicious but these are heavenly... more than you’d imagine was possible. And, oh my the cinnamon rolls are the best you will EVER have (I’m drooling just remembering them). Everything looks great, but the taste is just sublime. I’m quite fussy, and I have bought from bakeries all over London / U.K., and I admit, I tend to let my expectations run away with me and I nearly always get a little disappointed but not at Paddy Cakes. Without fail every item here will supersede your expectations. The ingredients are really high quality, and the bakers are top tier. Definitely a hidden spot to know about but be warned: you’ll be ruined afterwards as your experiences elsewhere will pale in comparison. If you can handle that, then bring your stretchy trousers and get ready. Paddy is also a complete joy!! Really lovely, and clearly has immense passion and dedication to his craft, the way he talks about each product is with such care and knowledge. I kind of don’t want to post this and for it to turn into somewhere you have to queue for hours at 8am and it runs out at 8.15, but I’d feel too selfish not to share the love.

My god, have the bread pudding. Great coffee, good music and friendly owners.

Cakes were amazing, as was the coffee and owners are lovely. Not really much more you can ask for!

The decor is stylish, the atmosphere is cozy and the pastries are to die for. Paddy and Crystal are great hosts too, very welcoming and friendly. You must try the cheesecakes!

Such amazing people and wonderful food. Definitely support this local gem 🤩

Excellent cakes and the cheese biscuits are amazing, they have quite a kick. Very much a family business with a service to match

Paddy Cakes is the place to go for a very welcoming atmosphere! We had seen the good reviews on Google, and thought we would have a quick look, and it definitely didn’t disappoint. The owners were so friendly and easy-going, and their cake was divine! We tried the strawberry cheesecake and a chocolate cupcake - they were both pure delight, can only recommend. We will be back!

Great little cafe - lovely vibe and great coffee ☕️

I popped in on the off chance. Not only did Paddy say yes to my custom order. What he provided exceed my expectations. This is in addition to the best cheesecake i've had in my life. All served with a smile.

Did a very small boy/girl reveal for our new baby and this bakery was amazing, and so lovely to deal with! We just wanted something simple so we could involve our toddler and they delivered that but so much more. These cupcakes were gorgeous cupcake and so incredibly tasty. Also shoutout for the owners not giving it away at all and thank you so much for your kindness and these beautiful cupcakes!

Amazing cookies and magical vibe - thank you!✨

Incredible cakes!! These guys are so creative with the flavours too. So worth indulging!

Focaccias and cinnamon buns as big as your face! This place is great for cakes and treats. The owners are lovely too. :)

Fantastic Coffee - what a great find :)

Fantastic cakes and service, I will come back! Thank you!

Best scone and clotted cream ever !

Surreptitiously smooth, slinky, fashionable and digestively attractive. Unlike many cake recipes; these are not too sweet. BUTTERCREAM is the secret. Light and fluffy almost like whipped cream...(but not the 50 shades style of whipping) this is more like caressing by an artisan. Gentle, creative flavours tempt the taste buds and cajole another forkful to be slurped and washed down with delicious coffee. Ahhh to be sure, your man Paddy can help you with suggestions. And if you want something for a special event - like bath night - he can bake it for you.

Lovely food and very friendly staff 👌

unbelievable. best cheesecake (and other baked goods) I've ever had. All of us in our group agreed!

Unexpected treat. Went in for a quick cuppa ended up eating brilliant flaky cheese scone like creations, sn improved deconstructed cinnamon bun, and the best cheese cake to be had in England. Not too sweet, delicately spiced, flavourful and perfect texture. Good coffee to boot and the lovely eponymous Paddy to chat to.

Came to pick up a too good to go bag. Was initially disappointed as I didn't get their famous cheesecake to try but had a mini pizza, 2 cupcakes and 1 cookie. My god that pizza was sooo good. Also the red velvet cupcake was amazing. I will definitely come back again to try the cheesecake and more of your delicious goods!!!

best cupcakes (& super affordable!) i’ve ever had—having the guinness flavor is a life-changing experience. the owners & staff are so kind and friendly as well! absolutely recommend for anyone visiting the london area, tourist or local.

Best red velvet cupcake I’ve ever had! The cream cheese frosting was delightful and the cake wasn’t too sweet! Highly recommend. The owner of the bakery took his time to explain all the wonderful flavours and I can’t wait to try more!

Very fashionable little hip cafe, with great tea and even better cakes!

That's the worst. I went to pick up the cake at the appointed time, but the door was closed. No, I haven't got a refund yet.

There is only one way to explain how Paddy’s cake make you feel (ok maybe more): INCREDIBLE!! OUT OF THIS WORLD! Being Italian I’m very picky on my desserts and all the cupcakes, the cheesecakes and the cookies are insanely good. Shall we talk about the Cappucino? THE BEST IVE EVERE TASTED! Definitely worth the trip! Oh and also both him and Kris are incredibly inspiring individuals, they make you want to be better just by having a small talk with them ❤️ love you guys so much!!

Visited today and wanted to try everything in the shop. I could have listened to Pat explaining how he made his cheesecake all day. What a friendly relaxing welcoming place to sit, chill and taste amazing food. 👏

Great spot and amazing cake! I’ll be coming back for the coffee. Thanks for today Patrick! All the best

Delicious baker both for any day treat (cheesecakes are outstanding!) or special celebrations. Recommended!

Cakes and pastries are absolutely amazing. Recommend to all....

Love Paddy’s Cakes, all baked good are amazing, coffee is good and there is always a lovely vibe. I go to work and I sing along to the music and always have a nice chat!

Always get the girlfriend's birthday cake from here and they always get it right. Went out of their way for me this year as well. I live too far away to use the cafe side of it but all the treats behind the counter I can highly recommend. Don't have photos because it was gone before we remembered to take a photo. So please eat here, order here just use this place, it's that good.

I visited for the first time last week after wanting to try their cheesecake for ages. It didn’t disappoint! Best cheesecake I’ve ever had. Paddy gave me such a warm and generous welcome. Love that his wife and co-owner is a fellow Ghanaian too 🙏🏿 I’ll definitely be back and ordering a celebration cake soon too!

Incredible cakes. I aspesily liked the cheese cake. It has the perfect mix of cremmy but not to creemy and the best flavor on a cheese cake I have ever had. It's a Wonderful shop and i recomend you to go and I mean it!

Such great cakes and lovely people.

This place is just amazing! Their rum cheesecake is the best cheesecake I have ever had. Great cakes, really friendly people. Can't wait to come back to this lovely cafe.

Had the apple fritter and tried partner's rumchatta cheesecake. Both were out of this world. We were also treated to a free truffle each. The owner has a very obvious talent for baking; the best cheesecake I've ever tasted and truffles to die for . Amazingly friendly service too. Give the people your support, you'll be glad you did.

Wonderful experience, definitely will come again 👍🏾

Lovely cafe, delicious coffee and cakes, and very nice owner. Highly recommended!

This place is just AMAZING, you’ll find the BEST DESSERTS AND CAKES IN LONDON here. Paddy and Chris have created a small corner of paradise: you get inside, seat comfortable, enjoy the family and friendly vibes, and definitely have your taste buds turned upside down for the amazing cakes, cupcakes and treats this lovely couple creates. This is the place where my wife and I go when we want to feel at home. You guys are rocking it

Such a lovely cafe. Friendly bakers that make beautiful looking and delicious cakes and coffee. Loved the red velvet cheesecake cake and apple cinnamon bun😋 will visit again.

Amazing desserts, great coffee, and very friendly service. Just all around a wonderful experience. We’ll definitely be back!

Just had a slice of the Halloween themed Red velvet and cheesecake cake. Can honestly say it may well be the best piece of cake I have ever had....

Travelled all the way from South London and the trip was worth the journey! We ordered the Oreo brownies, pandan cheesecake and the red velvet cheesecake it's hard to say which one was our favourite, each and every one was delicious! I have also developed a new obsession for pandan. The store has a warm and welcoming ambience. I highly recommend visiting, you will be far from disappointed.

My son said - this is extremely yummy 😊

It's so pretty and people it's funny and kind, loved it

Paddy Cakes was a fantastic find! Their banana bread and banana blueberry muffin were so flavorful and fresh. Visiting from the States they gave us a warm and joyful welcome to their shop, a place to truly feel comfortable to be yourself. We loved them so much we ordered a cake for a family member’s birthday. That was phenomenal too!! A red velvet cake with cheesecake in the layers.

Cakes that could be an excuse to just have a party...... That's Paddy Cakes

amazing place, with such a welcoming vibe! they have options for everyone at this place including vegan/gluten-free options. highly recommend!!!

I can confidently say paddy cakes has some of the best iced coffee in london. Not some watery, luke-warm americano with two ice cubes. A proper ice cold coffee where you can suck on the ice cubes once your drink is empty. Love it

Pâtisseries made with love and craft

Chilled vibe, lovely owners- and delicious gourmet cheesecake- red velvet or tropical etc. He’s won prizes for his baking. Great for a relaxing Sunday moment. Family friendly too. Easy walk to Kentish Town or further on to Camden.

The cake was excellent and coffee too! The portion was generous and the staff was very kind.

Great selection of goods from sweet and savoury (black sesame cheesecake!! )Friendly staff and cracking tunes. What else do you need

I went to paddy cakes today, and omg! It was out of this world. The ambience they have created coupled with the best coffee and cakes is amazing, I will be a regular from now on. Lastly customer service is 10/10.

An expertly crafted flat white!

Stunning bakery with wonderful couple running it. Never liked cup cakes until I came here.

Absolutely delicious cakes and great coffee! A welcome addition to Tufnell Park!

Great coffee, friendly staff and a delicious eclair

Absolutely the best cafe on Fortess Road. Only opened in recently but already became hot spot every one talking about. The cakes are all made in store and taste so nice. Not too much sugar as other franchise brands offer. Also very nice owners couple. Would love to have a chat with them every day.

Absolutely lovely! The cupcakes, cheesecakes, brownies and cookies are fantastic. They taste homemade (that's a massive compliment) as many pastry shop places look beautiful but taste sterile. These are all spectacular. The owners also ha e such a passion for this and they've always been really friendly and helpful and you can tell they really care. I love this place and am so happy they're part of the neighborhood!

Great credit to the owners of this very fine establishment. Excellent warm service from start to finish. And of course a unique selection of delicious cakes to choose from! Thank you for your hospitality 😃!

Really lovely stylish place with a calm and homely feel, lovely little details about the decor. Coffee was delicious and lovely selection of cakes. Staff were really friendly and everything is homemade! Will be coming back to work for sure

Nice shop to hang out with friends. Love the sweets!

lovely owners, lovely vegan cake - will drop in next time i’m in the area, wish you both the best.

Amazing Guinness and chocolate cake, light, not overly sweet, also had a caramel tart which was equally delicious - beautiful cakes made with care and skill, best I've had in ages.

Oh gosh, the best cheesecake i’ve ever had! I’m a chef too so in the beginning i wasn’t sure about the sponge cake base for the cheesecake but then magic happened! So velvety, creamy. I’m a bit scared of getting addicted to this place though. So nice to have talented people in our neighbourhood. Pop in to have a lovely treats and warm welcome. I’ll absolutely come back with my family next week for my birthday. Thank you guys!

The best cakes I’ve ever tasted. Everything is baked on site and the cheesecake is unreal. I highly recommend Paddy Cakes. The shop itself is welcoming and has a lovely ambience. Patrick (Paddy the baker) is so wonderful and his wife Chrystal (the creator and decorator) is even more lovely. Go and visit, you will not be disappointed. The only downside to this wonderful shop is I will need to go to the gym to justify all the cake I will eat!

Excellent. I wholeheartedly recommend it.

Though there's no shortage of cafes on Fortess Road, I'm pleased to see this excellent new addition - the quality of the coffee and cakes already exceeds its neighbours. The coffee is rich without being bitter, and the chocolate cupcake I had was beautiful - usually I find cakes with lots of buttercream on a bit too sugary, so the cream cheese frosting was perfect for me, luxurious without being too sweet

Really great shop and coffee but the strawberry cheesecake too good had two

Great coffee and delicious cupcakes, had two. Ask Patrick about the back story.

Attend the pre-launch event, amazing cheesecakes, cupcakes and the carrot cake was luscious.

The pre-launch event was such an amazing experience. The cheesecake was so luxurious and the comfortable furniture and sleek interior makes it the perfect place to get work done, while sipping on a rich cappuccino. I highly recommend visiting on Tuesday's opening.

Amazing place, bespoke furniture a really lovely place to have your coffee. The coffee by the way taste great, rich and full of flavor. I love the cookies everything’s homemade and fresh. You should definitely visit
