Valentine’s Day in London is not just about dinner reservations and roses. It is also an excuse to indulge, and the city is exceptionally well set up for it. From heritage patisseries to small-batch cake counters, London offers every style of sweet gift: classic cake slices, glossy pastries, syrup-soaked Greek favourites, and beautifully boxed treats that feel thoughtful without being predictable.
This list focuses on Greek and Greek-inspired bakeries you can visit in London for Valentine’s gifting (plus a short “worth knowing” section at the end for a few excellent options outside London, in case you are sending sweets to someone elsewhere in the UK).

Here are our suggestions:
If you want a stop that works for both “quick treat” and “proper gift,” Fresh is positioned as a coffee-and-croissant spot with a stronger dessert bench for celebrations—handmade sweets and “signature desserts,” with catering available for events.
4 Commerce Road, Haringey, London, N22 8ED.
A straightforward, classic Greek bakery offering the essentials: traditional bread, pastries, and snackable bites—plus the freddo espresso/freddo cappuccino culture that instantly makes it feel like a proper Greek pit stop.
112 Myddleton Road, Haringey, London, N22 8NQ.
A Greek bakery in Reading, Berkshire, that works particularly well for Valentine’s gifting if you want variety in one stop—think all-day brunch and coffee alongside cakes, desserts, pastries, burek, ice cream and patisserie, so you can build either a full “sweet box” or a brunch-and-dessert plan.
18 West Street, Reading, RG1 1TT
If your Valentine’s approach is “let’s get everything,” Artisimo is the most wide-ranging option on this list: traditional pies and bougatsa, croissants and doughnuts, cakes (including birthday/celebration-style), mini cakes, tsoureki, sandwiches, and Greek syrupy desserts—plus Greek-style coffee made with Hausbrandt ingredients.
770 Green Lanes, London, N21 3RE.
For a more “giftable” West London moment, Molly Rose positions itself around heritage cake-making and made-from-scratch treats, with a South Kensington shop (and an established brand story linked to “Sweetheart Cakes”).
74 Old Brompton Road, South Kensington, London SW7 3LQ.
A contemporary café-patisserie in Liverpool that’s ideal for an elegant Valentine’s treat box: think gateaux, cakes and pastries to enjoy with high-quality coffee and speciality teas, plus hot savoury filo pastries and artisan sandwiches if you want to turn it into a full sweet-and-savoury stop.
13–17 Tarleton St, Liverpool L1 1DS, UK.
A Manchester-based, online-only cake business specialising in made-from-scratch classic cakes, celebration cakes, cupcakes, personalised desserts, cookies, and seasonal Greek sweets (including tsoureki), making it a strong choice if you want something customised for Valentine’s Day and can arrange pickup or selected delivery.
726A Wilmslow Rd, Didsbury, Manchester M20 2DW

Whether you’re planning a full Valentine’s dessert crawl or simply picking up a thoughtful box on your way home, the best sweet gifts are the ones that match the moment—something syrupy and nostalgic, something elegant and “occasion-ready,” or something playful you can share with coffee. Save a little time by choosing one “hero” treat (a cake, a mixed pastry box, or a few Greek favourites) and then rounding it out with smaller extras, so it feels intentional rather than last-minute.
Most importantly, buy what you know they’ll actually enjoy—and if you’re unsure, you can’t go wrong with a well-chosen assortment that lets them taste a bit of everything!
