I love Violet Bakery so much. It’s one of my favorites bakeries in the city, and I always find something new to try thanks to the rotating menu. My only suggestion is that they should accept cash, not just card. Is it legal tender or not?

Gluten free Vanila sheet cake was lush! 8/10 minus two points for a small square being priced at 7 great British pounds! 😭
