We only get cakes from Christie's. We've had two in the past 6 weeks; one Christmas log, and one cream tea for four people, but prior to those we've had multiple birthday cakes over the past 18 months, for us, our family and friends. It's fair to say that all, and I do mean every single one, have been epicurean masterpieces, always light, creamy, and more-ish as hell. Visually, you can see the love which goes into each cake before you taste it, but the textures, flavours and sweetness of the cake, creams and jams, are always perfectly balanced in every cake we've had, and the flavours are so exactly complimentary. They're also super creative! You can tell whoever makes them is having fun doing it. I didn't know several of the fruits on my daughter's 1st birthday cake, for example, and my wife's pink 35th birthday cake was amazing. Aside from the cakes the café is quite unique; I've had my own birthday tea there. it's a calm environment despite the number of customers around lunchtime, they do a great lunch (quite gourmet, lots of interesting Russian things), and very good coffee, the staff are friendly and professional, and I've never had less than a 5 star experience since I first found the place.

I ordered a quite popular Chrsitmas version of the number cake, in a form of a X-Mass Tree. Visually cake is absolutely beautiful, one of these cakes that are too nice to be cut. However, taste was a big disappointment. In my opinion it was way too sweet and terribly heavy. Finishing even a small piece of this was was impossible. None of my guests liked it. I haven't tried other cakes or dishes in this bakery, looking at the reviews - they might be better. I speak only about the one cake I ordered. However, after this experience, I don't think I will be ordering any new cakes soon at this place, as the only positive thing I can say about the cake is that it was beautifully done & decorated. Added after the owner reply: The only "customization" requested was swap of one of the topping decoration with more fruits, which has not affected the cake core flavour. Also - my review is not a result of the fact that I asked last minute to get a smaller version of the take, which was not possible. This was not a problem for me at all and I was still happy to get a bigger cake hoping it will be delicious....
Amazing cakes! Great service! Nice ambiance! One should try the Napoleon cake and the Honey cake. My favorite though is the Caramel Carrot cake! Yum! Forgot to mention that their coffee is also great!
Great place with best Russian food and best cakes for all tastes. The decor is super nice, personnel is always friendly. Highly recommended!
The cheesecakes are delicious, the nut shaped pastries yummy, but that honey cake is simply to die for! My grandmother used to make a similar one and it brings me back so many great memories! I will be back for sure...maybe tomorrow already
Birthday Russian honey cake. Home delivery - easy, helpful and delicious! Thanks so much for helping make the day!
Amazing service, always offering delivery at any time and obviously the BEST cakes in town! Love Love Love!!! I highly recommend for any occasion!
My first experience at this bakery was very good. A nice shop on a side street not far off from plainpalais. The shop in nicely and welcoming decorated. It has also a tearoom section but that was closed due to covid. I came here to buy an original cake for an anniversary. I was attracted by the Russian honey cake, but unfortunately that was out of stock. Instead I settled for their version of carrotcake. The lady took the choosen cake and took it to a backroom to decorate it with fresh fruit. The end result was very successful. The cake looks quite high and had a good weight, but we all enjoyed the cake very much as it was well balanced with ingredients and not heavy to eat. We all enjoyed this cake very much and I will be back to try the next time one of their Russian cakes. A good place for an original cake. Recommended
