20 Years of London’s Favourite American Bakery

Born on the colourful streets of Portobello Road, Notting Hill, in 2004, The Hummingbird Bakery has been serving scrumptious, freshly-baked, preservative-free treats ever since. Now spreading happiness and buttercream icing across six London outposts, including the latest gem in Soho, it remains the go-to spot for an American ‘home-baking’ fix, with vegan and made without gluten options available too.

20 years is a major milestone, and you won’t want to miss a single bite of The Hummingbird Bakery’s birthday carnival. Join the celebration as it spreads sweet treats across the capital, one delicious bite at a time.
