One of the best sandwiches I've had in a long time (brie & salami toasted)! Staff are so lovely & genuine. Prices are super reasonable too - especially for London. Outdoor seating in the sun was gorgeous. Definitely coming here again!

We LOVE, LOVE, LOVE Dee Light Bakery and have been coming here for years. Being Coeliac I absolutely love treating myself to the gluten free goodies. The sausage rolls and cakes are so delicious and are never dry or boring selections like other cafes. My husband and son enjoy both the vegetarian and regular sausage rolls as well as the vast selection of cakes. I’ve purchased celebratory cakes through the years which have all been fabulous and I get my son’s birthday cake here every year. He is always so happy and Dee’s cakes never disappoint. We are always asked where we got the cake from as it’s so yummy. Photo of this year’s Oreo cake below. Thank you so much for looking after us with all the delicious treats and cakes. Keep up the great work xx

Thank you so much for the enormous and delicious cake… I’ve never seen a room filled with audios excited about a cake! Many people said it was the best cake they ever had and felt it weighed about 5kgs!

I purchased sausage rolls from here today and unfortunately they were undercooked. After the first bite, I felt almost queasy and couldn’t continue eating them. Considering the high prices, I expected much better quality. I also wasn’t given a receipt at the time of purchase. When I asked, I was told they don’t provide physical receipts and only send them by email. While they did eventually email it to me, this should have been explained upfront. What disappointed me most was the response I received after I contacted them directly by email. I was told that the sausage rolls “look cooked” and that my review was untrue. Rather than addressing the concern or showing any understanding, the reply felt dismissive and unprofessional. Customer service and hospitality are just as important as the food itself. Sadly, this experience showed a clear lack of both. I’m leaving this review to share my experience with others.

First time visiting this afternoon and was super impressed! Had a delicious coffee with a generous slice of gluten and dairy free lemon cake! Staff were lovely and super friendly. Will definitely be back!!
