I was so lucky to discover Raabs on a bus journey to Stoke Newington.
Finally paid it a visit but as it was late that day, the shelves were bare so I had to make it earlier which is difficult especially if you don't live in Central London and for those who work they have zero chance of trying this gem.
The variety at Raabs will amaze you if you go at the right time.
From google, I was so delighted to see they had jelly babies which are basically doughnuts that are jelly baby shaped and probably filled with donuts!
When you go inside, it was nice to see someone in a guy dressed in a white 1950s bakery attire serving customers.
Without further ado, I got the rainbow cake, carrot cake, cream slice, mini London cheesecake and a mini cherry danish.
Seeing a CREAM SLICE is a rarity! When was the last time you saw a cream slice at your local bakery because you can only buy commercially made ones these days.
Overall, everything was fantastic but perhaps a little on the sweet side.
The only thing I would like to see is fresh cream in the cream slice and the pastry to have risen better as it would really make a difference in taste otherwise it was bang on especially the punchy strawberry jam.
To summarize, this is a must visit if you are in the area.
