Desserts & Gelato

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.

WA Café

Japanese patisserie on a Covent Garden side street, French method and Japanese flavours.

Cakes & patisserieSomewhere to sit

French patisserie technique applied to matcha, yuzu, black sesame and the rest: cheesecakes, soufflé sponges, mousses and rolled cakes, in a small pale room off St Martin's Lane. It is the sort of counter where the cake is the reason to sit down rather than something to have with the coffee.

They bake for other people too - Hare and Tortoise, MAIDO and KINTAN all take their cakes. Last orders a quarter of an hour before closing.
