Ottolenghi Chelsea

If you’ve passed an Ottolenghi shop window without pausing to gawk at the cake display, then you have the kind of self-discipline our Amazon delivery driver wishes we had. But ignoring the sweet treats at this bright and airy Pavilion Road cafe is a mistake. As impressive as the array of cakes and tarts look, they taste even better. You’ll struggle to pick between the moist carrot cake covered in criminal amounts of tangy cream cheese icing, or a mocha cheesecake tart that would even impress that friend who brags about not needing caffeine to function. But FYI, a single blueberry cupcake is around a fiver, so exercising some self-discipline might not be the worst thing.
