After drooling over Kayu's pastry Instagram posts for months, I was finally able to visit their London (Mayfair) location. I had already had dinner, but I ended up gobbling four of their large pastries in one sitting. All on my own... I couldn't resist! They were exceptional! I ordered:
* Vanilla Millefeuille: My favorite! Amazingly light and flaky. One of the best I've ever tried
* Chocolate Éclair: Appropriately puffy and crisp, with a delicious chocolate filling
* Kayu Signature: Chocolate overdose! Very rich and chocolaty, just like the doctor ordered! Loved it
* Pistachio Pastry (not sure what it's called): If you love pistachios, you can't go wrong with this one
I just bemoan that fact that there are no Kayu Bakehouses in the US, where I live. Can't wait for my next trip to London or the Middle East! read more
