The sweet course as a destination: gelato and ice cream, cakes and patisserie, chocolate, and the dessert bars where pudding is the whole point. Bread and the morning are next door, in Bakeries.
Persian ice cream - saffron, rose and pistachio - two minutes from the British Museum.
Gelato & ice creamSomewhere to sitVegan options
Persian ice cream, built on the flavours the founder Laura Dawson grew up with. Saffron, rose and pistachio is the one to start with - Iranian saffron, rose water distilled from Damascena roses, Iranian pistachios chopped through it. Turkish coffee blends Kurukahveci Mehmet Efendi with Italian espresso; chocolate and halva crumbles Arabic sesame halva over a base made with 70 per cent Callebaut. The signature is the Baklava Ice Cream Sandwich, a scoop pressed between two pieces of honey-soaked baklava, which Condé Nast Traveller called one of London's best desserts of 2020. A full vegan list runs alongside the dairy one.
Bury Place is the short street of bookshops running down from the museum's gates to Bloomsbury Way, and the parlour is halfway along it with seating inside and a step-free door.
