This was actually my first time eating a taiyaki and let me just say this did not disappoint! The fish cone I got was just fresh out of the machine so that made it even better the ice cream itself was pretty good but nothing to rave about. Bake also has a variety of baked goods and the prices are quite reasonable. Definitely a must try if you're in Chinatown, London!!
We stopped by to check out the cute animal cakes. I ordered the custard filled fish cake and it was so addicting. I love custard. To order this, you have to pay at the register first. It's a good deal and they are made fresh to order!
This place is located right by one of the Chinatown gates. We came here solely for the mixed vanilla and green tea taiyaki ice cream. Immediately as we left the store, mine was quickly dripping through the cone, making it a bit messy.
I was pretty happy when I found out their is another cool asian bakery in town! This one opened in February and was perfect for my dessert craving of the day. Facing the window you can try those tiny cute fish waffles called taiyaki. They are actually in between waffle and french chouquettes, as they are empty inside. You should eat them on the spot, it's better hot. You can also try one of the buns, rolls or cakes that the shop has. The black sesame swirl is gorgeous. The coconut bun is nice as well but doesn't have a strong taste. I'm gonna try it cut in half with some kaya (coconut jam), it should be perfect. The pork benito teriyaki bun was good but I didn't really taste the teriyaki in it and the ham bits were too big and not enough integrated to the dough. Also it coast me £7,5 for all of it. The taiyaki also come in big size and you can stuff them with ice-cream if I'm correct. So here is my excuse to go back there and try it!
Before coming to London, I saw this place on a dessert list on Pinterest and immediately bookmarked it and knew I HAD to visit it. The first time I actually passed it without even knowing but saw that it was packed and the line was out the door. I was hoping if I came back in a few hours the crowd would die down. Around 6pm I went again and the store was packed but at this point there was no line out the door. I knew I wanted the egg waffles and my cousins wanted the Taiyaki. Boy the wait was worth it!!! I had my egg waffles with Nutella and vanilla and matcha ice cream it was not shockingly sweet so I was able to finish the whole thing (in about 6 minutes because it was so good)!! The taiyaki cones were delicious as well. I understand why people rave about this place because it's well worth the wait. I took off one star only because the line could be a little more organized and the staff should try their best to enforce a better line control policy.
Really enjoyed the match taiyaki ice cream! Ice cream had good match flavor and the taiyaki crispier than expected!
The quality of bread here simply can't compare to all of the other bakeries nearby. I got a taro filled bun, and was disappointed to find that the inside was mostly air. It also tasted a little stale, so I had to microwave it. The bread looked very big, but was actually probably only half the size without the air inside. I'd rather go to one of the many other bakeries in the Chinatown area.
I was really excited to try this place! Especially with the cute taiyaki that come with a custard filling. The price for taiyaki was reasonable. However, upon first bite...COLD :( I think they advertise as the taiyaki as being "freshly" made. This is untrue. The taiyaki are made en masse then stored in this oven type contraption, but clearly doesn't work as the items were cold. Disappointed.
Vegetarians beware (warning also to anyone who is averse to inadvertently eating pork). The Sesame Pastry, sold as "vegetarian" contains a slice of bacon. I asked a member of staff what was in the Sesame Pastry, and she listed vegetable ingredients. To confirm, I asked her if there was any meat in the item, and she replied "no, it's suitable for vegetarians". I purchased the item, and when I bit into it, I discovered that it contained a slice of bacon (pictured).
[Pre-COVID post] I literally had this on my radar when I went to London because of cute Instagram and Yelp posts of it. I went to get their matcha millet crepe cake, mainly for its aesthetic, and it was okay. I didn't like its soggy texture and it was a little lackluster for me in general. read more
This place is usually packed but the line goes quickly. The egg tart is my favorite. My son loved the custard bun and the egg tarts. He only ate half the pork bun, but it's probably bc he ate 2 egg tarts and a custard bun. People who work here are nice and efficient. A great place to stop by for a snack. The price is pretty decent. read more

Wow! What a dessert! 6 pounds gets you a huge bubble cone with soft ice cream and as many toppings as you want. We got vanilla ice cream, oreos, Nutella, raspberries, and blueberries. It was huge and so delicious!!! read more
