EK Bakery

What's in the box: A mix and match selection of brownies and cookies in flavours you choose, baked fresh to order, sometimes with the monthly special such as Cinnamon Swirl Blondies.

EK Bakery is a small independent bakery in Hackney. It started in a home kitchen in 2017 and now has a team of five. It is best known for celebration cakes in London, but shoppers outside the capital will mostly care about the Brownies & Cookies Box. You pick your own mix of flavours, everything is baked fresh to order, and the box is posted anywhere in the UK. It is listed at £15. London customers can also choose courier delivery or collection. Postal orders go out Monday to Friday. There is a monthly special, currently Cinnamon Swirl Blondies, and it is included in the mixed brownie box. The site does not describe a recurring subscription plan. Each box seems to be a one off order, so for regular treats you would need to reorder yourself. A loyalty scheme is mentioned, but the site does not explain how it works. The seasonal cakes start from £40 and are mainly for London delivery or collection. The counter is open Fridays and weekends if you are nearby. Overall this is a well regarded neighbourhood bakery with a sensible, giftable brownie box, but it is not a true subscription service.
