Crumbs & Doilies

Its difficult to describe this place.  I love it of course because they sell treats.  It just has this minimalist quality that I get excited over.
Every time I go in, they have a different selection of treats.  They appear to change the flavors of their treats quite frequently and I adore that.  It makes you go in just to see. It is a very small place, with one display case and a small stone pedestal which holds sugar and stirrers for coffee or tea.  There is a counter along the wall and the front window which allows you to sit and eat your treat whilst people watching in Kingly Court.  They also always have a sample of something tasty right below the display case:

Peppermint Creme and Raspberry Ripple Cupcakes



Outdoor Seating


Then there is the name of the shop, which seems to be inspired a little by the very English trend of naming businesses after the names of two people. Examples: Whyte & Brown, Holland & Barrett, Marks & Spencer, Russell & Bromley, Tony & Guy etc. But better than all we have:

Crumbs & Doilies



Christmas Cake & Gingerbread Man Cake
Mulled Wine Cupcakes
Red Velvet Mini Cupcakes
Hot Toddy Cupcake & Minis
Jamaican Gingerbread Mini Cupcakes
Rum Truffles
Salted Caramel Minis & Peppermint Cream Cake
Raspberry Ripple Cupcakes
Gingerbread Bars
Take Away Packaging
Salted Caramel Mini
My true love.  Salted caramel done right. Just enough salt to balance out the sweetness.  But not too overwhelming in either salt or caramel, you get a lot of just plain delicious "cake" essence.  And little Christmas tree sprinkles on top for requisite festiveness.
