TOP THREE INSTAGRAMMABLE CAFES

Hey lovelies, hope you've all had a great day. For today's blog post, I've put together a list of 3 instagrammable cafes. I love visiting cafes (mainly to get that instagrammable shot) but it's also nice to enjoy a tea or coffee and cake. I actually don't go to cafes that often but since it's the summer holidays, I'm hoping to visit some more. I have also previously written a full blog post on Feya Cafe, which is very instagrammable but since I've talked about it before, I thought I'd include some other cafes that I haven't spoken about yet. Enjoy and sorry if I make you feel a little hungry, I did too after writing this post!

Fabrique Bakery is known for their mouth watering Swedish Kanelbullar cinnamon buns and Swedish natural baked breads. They also serve coffees and hot chocolate. The interior design is filled with a mix of rustic and raw metals. From a distressed white-wood counter to large industrial pendants. Warm ambient lighting creates a beautiful glow, inviting passerby's and highlighting the fresh offerings on display. When I visited the cafe with my mum, I ordered one hot chocolate and cinnamon pastry and my mum ordered one latte and cardamom pastry. Everything was delicious, the pastries were to die for, perfect along side the coffee and hot chocolate.

I haven't actually visited the Maitre Choux cafe (only seen pictures on Instagram) but, when I recently went to Westfield Shepherds Bush with my mum and brother, they had a mini pop up stand and we couldn't resist trying their well known eclairs. We decided to try the Sun Kissed Strawberries Eclair and the Very Dark Multi-Origin Chocolate Eclair. They were heavenly and moreish! The eclairs were definitely instagrammable and I did snap a picture on my Instagram story @aleishawritess. From looking at pictures on Instagram, the cafe also looks very instagrammable and I'm hoping to visit it soon!

I recently visited Balham - the town where my mum grew up - and stumbled across Blackbird Bakery. Blackbird Bakery serve a mix of fresh cakes, bread, pastries, coffees and more. We ordered the Fresh Creme Patisserie Strawberry Tart and the Mixed Berries Tart (I'm not completely sure if the names are completely correct but I've included pictures below) and my mum ordered a latte, which she really enjoyed. The tarts were super tasty! Made with flakey pastry and filled with delicious, creamy custard. My mum and I ordered one each but as they were super rich, we decided to share one and take the other home.

Have a lovely weekend,
