Best Food and pastries EVER!!!
I have been here many times, and each time my experience has earned them 12/10!! I have never before tasted so many different items on one plate! Each one just a mouthful of exquisite flavours! The cakes/desserts are equally memorable..each colour is a different flavour and texture! Incredible! Just don't tell anyone..it's Bayswater's secret!
What a wonderful find
I stumbled across this cafe and it caught my eye! I went back with 2 girlfriends and loved every minute of my experience at "The Hatter & The Hare". From the well written description on the menu to the bubbly fun owner George, gleefully creating his scrumptious cakes behind the window and opening the window to explain to his curious diners what he was creating! The food was awesome and coffee perfect! I returned with more friends a couple of days later and endeavor to make my way through the menu. Hats of to "The Hatter and The Hare" just what this area needed!
