Definition: You are given a review about a place. You need to provide a rating from "1 star" to "5 stars" for this place.
Input: They do cake, and cake only. Well, of course with teas, coffee and hot chocolate. But no savoury food, apart from one savoury scone. No sandwiches, soups. They have scones, brownies, tarts, two layer cakes, three layer cakes, loafs, pies. So if you have a sweet tooth, this is your place.

As I mentioned in my previous review, I love the decor. It's quite random, old worldly and put together. An old piano, mismatched furniture and crockery (mismatched is so hot right now). All the cakes are displayed on the right as you walk in the store.

First, the things I wasn't as in love with. I thought they'd have more options. All the cakes they do have sound divine, there's quite a few unusual ones. But they don't have many staples of cakey goodness. I was thinking along the lines of a millionare shortcake. Instead they had a peanut butter chocolate tart. OOFT. My arteries wept a little. So for a cake-only cafe, the choice is quite unique but limited.

But from this unique choice there were sundried tomato and parmesan scones, rosemary and orange cake, chocolate caramel brownies, some sort of rose cake, banana loaf, pear frangipani tart amongst others. It was the latter that I had, and I requested a bit of their jam to go with it. The cake was incredibly moist, quite sweet (lots of vanilla) but altogether very nice.

We all agreed the caramel brownie was drool-worthy but perhaps a bit too sweet to finish a whole one. But both Susan M and Kelly F really enjoyed their savoury sundried tomato and paremsan scones. And Robyn Z's rosemary double layer cake was the winner in terms of uniqueness (and not as sweet as the others).

If I had a friend who loves cake, or as we did, wanted to treat someone to some birthday cake fun (yey Jennie S!) then Lovecrumbs would certainly be one of the first places to come. But I do know of other cafes that sell other food as well, soup and paninis, and still do amazing cake with more choice. Not a complaint really, just sayin'...

Although the bathrooms were really cold, and there were two really 'sarky' signs downstairs. One was sitting on two chairs that read "these chairs are here for a reason. Think about it." and the other said, on the bathroom door, "the ONLY toilet". Both I can imagine being said in a sarcastic, rather negative tone. Eeep. I also tried to book a table via twitter for 5 people for the birthday cake lunch and was told they don't take bookings. That is a shame, when we went we were lucky to get the last spaces at a table.

But, I mean, caramel brownie and frangapani tart. Yes. For the cake alone, it's worth a visit.
