    I adored this place! My boyfriend and I ended up in London earlier this month trying to fly back to the United States. We arrived in London on my birthday and were lucky that this place was still open and serving cakes. I had a lovely cream-filled cake with blueberries. It was not too sweet but just sweet enough. Obviously, there are many cake and pastry shops in London to choose from but I was glad we ended up here!

    Ok, I wanted to give this less than 5 stars only because one of the waiters kept holding the tray of hot tea pretty much directly over my wife's head...but since he didn't spill on her, I'll let it slide. Other than that, the tea and cakes were outstanding. There were four of us and we each got something different... The deserts were phenomenal. The variety was great and each tasted fresh and perfectly baked or cooked. The teas were amazing and I got a cappuccino, which I loved. The inside was decorated well and I think there were two or three tables out front, but it was pretty chilly outside so we sat inside. It's comfortable and cozy inside and you don't feel like you're in each others space, even though the tables are relatively close. We noticed that there were at least half a dozen people who just came in for a quick coffee or tea and then left, which was kind of cool.

    Tortellini (a bit bland, imo). Follow @brunchfood on instagram for more brunch pics.

    The best eggs Benedict I've ever had, no kidding. I got the eggs royale and the smoked salmon that they used was SO CREAMY. And the bread was super soft. Hollandaise sauce was not too sweet or sour. I would eat this every week for brunch if I could. Definitely no complaints about this. So why the four stars? For one, it is a bit pricey for only a little bit of food. I left not hungry, by definitely not full. And the other meal that I got, a tortellini with crayfish, was very bland. I could barely taste anything and had to pour a bunch of salt into the plate.

    4 stars for their desserts: layered honey cake and green tea cake. 3 stars for their regular food. Simple classic pasta and salad dishes (most of them premade and sitting out for you to chose to preheat) aren't bad but their dessert is where they shine.

    3 stars because the display is just so unbelievable to look at it's impossible to turn away! That being said, the cakes unfortunately don't live up to expectations. I've been to different locations (in hopes that the first location's kitchen just over-sweetened) but unfortunately they are all the same. The cakes are beautiful but so so so sweet. Some are even sickly sweet (beware of the honey cake). This time I went for the pink lady iced tea, the saffron tres leches and the pistachio & nougat cake. Pink lady Iced Tea: - definitely peachy and leche (hey, it's rhymes!) and very sweet! Would recommend either getting an iced tea OR a cake, not both! Saffron tres leches: - Growing up near a Colombian community, let's just say I'm no stranger to tres leches - so when I saw they had saffron tres leches I went for it without thinking twice. Weirdly the cake was gooey, thick, and sticky. The cake was heavy and not very sweet - almost tasteless tbh. Saffron doesn't typically have a strong flavor but that's kind of all you taste in this cake and it's just confusing. Pistachio & nougat cake: - Not sure if I read the label properly but the cake is more somewhere between a cheesecake and no-bake mousse. To my surprise, the cake is mixed with whole hazelnuts (love this!) and pistachios. Beware, this cake is super super sweet! WHAT TO TAKE AWAY: If you don't like sickly sweet cakes then just take some pictures and move on with your day.

    I highly recommend this cafe to anyone visiting London, even if you have just a short amount of time. Admittedly, my family and I only ordered off the dessert display as we were going out for dinner later (yes I know, we did dinner before dessert, fantastic parenting) but it was easily the best things I ate out of all the places I went to during my stay in London. I myself had the violet macaroon cake. The filling has raspberries and passionfruit-vanilla cream. If you are scared of the flavor "violet" (which I think is the same as lavender), don't worry - the cream is most of the flavor anyways. The macaroon was perfect and crumbled perfectly, you can tell these people know what they're doing as macaroons are extremely hard to master. I couldn't have been happier as I'm a big macaroon fan. My sister had the rose one and 2 she preferred it over mine. However, I preferred mine over hers, so I guess it's just preference really as the difference between the two cakes wasn't a lot. My brother ordered a strawberry tart (not pictured) which he loved, but I noticed he wasn't eating the base of it. When I asked him why, he said it was because there was an underlying flavor in it which he could not place. I tried it too, and I could tell it was some kind of nut. It drove me crazy (or nuts, you could say ) so we asked the waitress: pistachio! Even if you don't like pistachio the flavor is not even distinct enough to place but sensitive nut allergens beware I guess?? My parents ordered the coconut vanilla ice cream cake (this is not actually ice cream, it is made to be flavored like it) and were not very impressed with it. When the waitress came by to collect their plate and saw it was uneaten, she looked so upset that I wanted to say "we LOVED it" when she questioned us about it. Speaking of the waitresses, they were extremely kind and friendly towards us and easy to talk with. As for time, it took a surprisingly long amount for just plating our desserts (as we didn't order any actual meals that needed to be prepared). However this could've been due to the fact that they were busy since the place was full when we went in. 10/10 service and 9/10 for desserts! Highly recommend you check this place out.

    Cute and beautiful bakery near Harrod's! Also serves some food. The pastries were delicious! Serve all day breakfast, eggs, and regional entrees. Have all the traditional cupcake flavors, and new fun flavors too (like Rose and Lychee!). Love the whimsical window display. It's pricey so be prepared. Great for a late night treat- open late!

    A truly great find during our 8 days in London. We had to return for a 2nd breakfast and for take away dessert on one of our last nights. Everything we had was very nicely prepared, even our children enjoyed the food and experience. Very friendly staff as well. Must return on our next visit!

    Came here for breakfast after visiting the Victoria and Albert museum. Overall not impressed. The food was extremely expensive. A cup of coffee was 2x what you normally pay and nothing special. My crepe was cold and very bland. It came with fruit to put on the crepe but the amount they gave you was tiny.

    Amazing pastries and cakes - freshly made daily

    I'd give this place 7 stars if Yelp allows, it's truly a hidden gem in London!! My boyfriend and I didn't know about this place, but when we walked by, the outdoor seating area of the cafe immediately drew our attention- it was nicely fenced in, surrounded by colorful blooms, patio furniture was tastefully picked and it was packed with people chatting and laughing. Our instinct told us this must be a good place, so we walked in, wow, one word jumped in my head - elegant. It's like one of those nice cafes in Paris along the river. Staff was very friendly and helpful with suggestions. Since it was early morning we didn't get a full meal, only tried their specialty latte and the pistachio cake, it was so rich and fresh that I could even taste the rose petals! Hands down the best I've ever had. Presentation was amazing too - see photo! Even to this day I still remember how good if was. "Count the memories, not the calories" is the slogan of the cafe, which I absolutely love. And they're right, great memories were definitely left behind at the Leto.

    When it's cold and windy, nothing beats the smell of warm tea and coffee with some cakes on the side. Here we have them both.

    Tasty food and drinks, nice atmosphere, slightly small which could mean you have to wait for a table. Service is slow.

Being new to some over sea flavors, I decided to go with a egg, meat, and goat cheese quiche. It was the BOMBDIGGITY!!! I asked the lovely young lady behind the counter, what would she recommend. I explained that I have never had goat cheese, and there was another one that had Feta cheese, which I am very familiar with. She said I would not be disappointed with goat cheese... so why not? I'm open to exploring different cuisines and tastes of life... and wow! It was unreal with the savory explosion of the onions and special sausage that they used, with a center topping of melted creamy goat cheese. It paired very well with my coffee in the morning, as we waited for our rented double decker bus to take us on a five hour tour of the magnificent city of London. We toured the city with fellow Seahawk fans and the breakfast was just what we needed to give us energy to scream our heads off, and lose our voices! My wife had ordered the toasted Rueben sandwich, which was a perfect medley of meat and cheese, and sauce. Many thanks to this hidden gem. Heads up, it was cash only. Please take the time to give this place a chance... you won't be disappointed! Cheers and Happy Eating!
