The Shed is a new coffee shop in Fulham, West London. I've been curious to visit as owner Danielle is constantly tweeting about how good the cupcakes they serve are.
The shop is on a quiet street and is bright and cosy inside.
If I lived locally to the area I would prefer to have my weekend coffee and read the newspaper (ok, the National Enquirer) here than at Starbucks.
I like that the shop has character and Danielle's other half was in the shop that day. He was very friendly and we had a nice chat.
The opening party got a small feature in OK! magazine (Danielle is the sister of Spice Girl Mel B). They managed to fit a dance floor and a DJ in the tiny space for the opening party!
The cupcakes are made by Crumbly Wumbly. Sorry for the out of focus pictures!
This is the Lime and Coconut Cupcake. It is "award winning" from The Guild of Fine Foods. I'm not sure what cupcake they ate but it wasn't the best cupcake I've ever eaten. The frosting was delicious and tasted of coconut. I couldn't taste any lime though and the cake was awfully dry.

I also had a lavender and lemon cupcake. The frosting was amazing. I love lavender and this had a lovely taste. Such an imaginative combination as well. It was let down by the cake though, such a shame that the basics aren't there. A cupcake should be soft, this was again hard and dry (and maybe stale).
To test if a cake is fresh and moist very gently squeeze the wrapper that's over the cake. If it's stale or dry you'll be able to tell straight away!

My friend had a peanut butter cupcake. It was also a little dry.
The Shed is a very pleasant coffee shop. Despite the iffy cupcakes I would return again for a coffee and relaxing experience.
