Top 5 Cake Deliveries in Belfast for All Celebrations
Cake can make anything better. It’s a fact most of us agree to. Whether it’s a birthday, an office party, or a random Tuesday when you just need a pick-me-up, Belfast’s cake delivery scene makes it dangerously easy to treat yourself.
From old-school bakeries that still whisk by hand to modern dessert spots that design cakes like art pieces, the city has plenty of options for every sweet tooth.
We went through some of Belfast’s most-loved cake delivery services–testing for flavor, reliability, and how well they survive Belfast weather– and here are the ones worth the sugar rush.
1. The Pocket Bakery Belfast
Address: 68 Upper Church Ln, Belfast BT1 4LG, United Kingdom
Contact Details:
Operating Hours: Monday to Thursday (8 AM to 3 PM), Friday (8 AM to 4 PM), Saturday (8 AM to 4:30 PM), Sunday (8:30 AM to 4 PM)
If you’ve ever walked past The Pocket’s main cafe, you’ll know it’s the kind of place that smells like brown butter and espresso. Their cake delivery service brings that same charm to your doorstep.
The menu changes seasonally– they have Earl Grey sponge with honey frosting in winter, or lemon curd and basil in summer– and every cake tastes like it was made by someone who genuinely loves baking.
The best part is they’re quick to respond to custom requests. One regular told me she ordered a pistachio and rose cake with less sugar for her diabetic dad, and it came out perfect, that kind of flexibility is rare.
The only con is that deliveries can fill up fast, especially on weekends. If you’re a last-minute planner (like me, unfortunately), you might need to pick up instead. Still, their packaging is gorgeous and sturdy enough to protect even the fluffiest sponge.
I am coming back to try more.
First time tried this place. Hence u thought I will go for something fancy. I tried the Tropical French Toast. It was amazing. Never had one like this ever before. I was so focused on it and enjoying it that I didn’t care who was around me 👌😋. But one thing I noticed when I was entering and when I was leaving, which is the place was packed with people. So many people waiting outside to enter. It’s a good place to go for a breakfast or lunch date or maybe double date. I will be coming back again. Pocket you have been a pocket full of surprises. I am coming back to try more 😊✌️

Lovely sweet selection!
Popped in here earlier today for a bite to eat – would definitely recommend the Wild Mushrooms on Tin Loaf if you’re a vegetarian (it resurrected my girlfriend who was quite hungover). Super friendly staff, really nice decor, good coffee, great atmosphere and a lovely sweet selection – try the coconut/raspberry cake!

2. French Village Bakery
Address: 32 Montgomery Rd, Castlereagh, Belfast BT6 9HL, United Kingdom
Contact Details: + 44 28 9029 7999
Operating Hours: Monday to Friday (8:30 AM to 4:30 PM), Saturday (9 AM to 3 PM)
French Village is basically Belfast’s dessert royalty. They’ve been baking since the ‘80s, and their cakes are the gold standard for weddings, birthdays, and afternoon teas.
Their delivery system is smooth, professional, and punctual. And that’s why one customer told me that it’s perfect for corporate events.
Their classic Victoria sponge and chocolate fudge cakes are local legends. But if you want something lighter, the lemon drizzle and passionfruit cheesecake hit the right notes.
The patisserie items (like mini tarts and eclairs) can also be added to deliveries, which makes them ideal for gatherings.
Prices are on the premium side, and their online ordering system can feel slightly rigid due to the limited personalization unless ordered in-store. But what you get in return is consistency, elegance, and cakes that always taste fresh.
They produced a super cake…
The bakery is hidden away on a trading estate, but take nothing away from the patisserie it produces. They produced a super cake for my daughters wedding.

3. Oh Donuts & Coffee
Address: 55 Upper Arthur St, Belfast BT1 4HG, United Kingdom
Operating Hours: Weekdays (8 AM to 4 PM), Saturday (10 AM to 5 PM)
This isn’t technically a cake shop. But their giant donut cakes and stacks are becoming a Belfast phenomenon. If you want something playful and slightly rebellious against tradition, this is the delivery to try.
They do next-day delivery for most orders, and you can build your own “cake tower” of donuts – perfect for office parties or anyone tired of predictable sponges.
The mix of flavors like maple bacon, vanilla bean, and Nutella is wildly fun, and the coffee pairing makes it even better.
However, since they’re donut-based, they don’t last as long as traditional cakes, so their offerings are best enjoyed fresh. But that’s part of their charm: they’re meant to be devoured, not stored.
Excellent choice of vegan donuts.
Excellent coffee and an equally excellent choice of vegan donuts. Friendly staff. Small seating area but enough.

4. Cake Box
Address: 165 Lisburn Rd, Belfast BT9 7AJ, United Kingdom
Contact Details: +44 28 9600 5458
Operating Hours: Daily (11 AM to 8 PM)
For anyone who loves a good celebration cake without waiting a week for it, Cake Box Belfast is a lifesaver. This franchise has built a loyal following for its egg-free sponge cakes that taste surprisingly rich and moist.
Whether it’s birthdays, Eid, or just your midweek sugar fix, Cake Box delivers quickly and efficiently across the city.
They specialize in customizable designs – photo cakes, tiered options, and personalized messages that you can order online and have ready in hours.
The pricing is fair, and the staff are efficient, though you might feel the chain-style service lacks a bit of the “artisan touch.”
Still, the convenience is unbeatable. Their cakes arrive well-packaged, taste fresh, and they’re one of the few shops that consistently manage same-day orders without compromising quality.
The nicest cake I’ve had in years.
I discovered this wonderment last night! Hands down the nicest cake I’ve had in years, light fluffy and flavourful! I’ve already told my partner that all events will now have this wonder cake from here. Great staff, not only was Narender lovely, he was so helpful in what all the cakes were and helping me choose.

Their cakes look and taste absolutely scrumptious.
Cake Box is a god send, their cakes looks and tastes absolutely scrumptious. The shop is clean and bright, the girls are quiet, courteous and polite. Previously have bought cheesecakes, this time have ordered for a birthday and I know it’s going to be delicious!
Best thing is they take all the stress out of making a cake for any event. They are open till 8.00pm, 7 days a week, and you can order the cake just a day before. What more can you need. 🍰🎂😁

5. J-Bird Bakery
Address: 129 Bloomfield Ave, Belfast BT5 5AB, United Kingdom
Contact Details: +44 28 9045 7293
Operating Hours: Thursday to Saturday (10:30 AM to 2:30 PM)
J-Bird Bakery is what happens when an artist becomes a baker. Every creation looks almost too pretty to eat – almost. Their signature buttercream cakes, sugar cookies, and cupcakes are all hand-decorated with meticulous attention to detail.
What makes J-Bird stand out is creativity. The designs are modern and playful, often inspired by seasonal colors or vintage patterns.
They also cater to dietary restrictions on request and use high-quality ingredients that make their cakes taste as good as they look.
The catch? Because everything is handmade and small-batch, lead times are longer– around 3 to 5 days for most orders. But the payoff is a cake that feels one-of-a-kind, wrapped up in pastel packaging that’s almost as charming as the cake itself.
The cake was every bit as defined as it looked.
Got my daughter 18th birthday cake from J-Bird bakery and to say we where over the moon with the cake is the perfect word, they did exactly what we asked for and the cake was every bit as define as it looked, so moist and the flavour in every bite, can’t thank everyone involved enough who baked and decorated this wonderful cake just another beautiful special surprise that made my daughters day so special. Massive thank you to J-Bird Bakery. ❤️ 5 star service as always and i absolutely highly recommend J-Bird Bakery

It was delicious and looked perfect.
J-Bird did our wedding cake June 2023. It was amazing! We knew it would be as my whole family are die-hard j-bird cupcake fans and we purchase them for all occasions (or any excuse to really). A really lovely family business who couldn’t do enough to help. Not only did our cake look sensational, it tasted amazing! Thank you so much Jeanie, it was delicious and looked perfect – Mr and Mrs Willoughby
