Due to the popularity of Peggy Porschen's pink Belgravia cafe on Elizabeth Street, a second branch was opened in mid-March on King's Road in Chelsea. The new branch offers a little more seating and the usual selection of cakes, cupcakes, biscuits, and hot drinks all with seasonal themes. The pink cafe on the corner of King's Road is decorated for Easter with a giant Easter wreath, decorated with flowers and eggs, birds, and rabbits.
Peggy Porschen opened its branch on Elizabeth Street in 2010, though the owner has been working on designing cakes since 2003. Their beautifully-designed cakes and pastries has been a firm favourite of celebrities, royalty, and visitors who flock to the pretty cafe to take photographs to upload onto social media.
I last visited Peggy Porschen near Christmas (read about that here: A Christmas Visit to Peggy Porschen Bakery), so it was nice to see what was on offer for Easter and spring in their brand new cafe. I opted for the hot chocolate, which arrived with a bunny design, and a pot of Earl Grey tea.
I also had one of the bunny cupcakes, and they also have a design with a tulip or carrot for Easter.
The bunny cupcake is strawberry, rhubarb, and custard flavour. This tasted good with the Earl Grey tea. Overall, I was actually very impressed with this choice of cake as it had a good flavour without being too sweet, and it was also light and not too filling. If you're in this area of London, you need to check it out. It should hopefully not be as busy as their flagship Belgravia cafe; I went at lunch time during the week and got a seat straight away, and it was not too busy. If you do want to check it out, go to 219 King's Road in Chelsea, London SW3 5EJ.
