    Filipino Halo halo or ube ice cream are just a few favorites from locals here! Friendly vibe and cute seating inside! Associate was very knowledgeable of their selections and gave recommendations. Huge Servings so better to share or go small

    Bilog with ube ice cream
    Maithili S.

    Bilog was nothing special. Definitely not worth the 7 pounds IMHO. Mildly sweet so that part is good.

    What's your order?
    Maria F.

    It's located down a busy Chinatown alley. The area seems to be quite chaotic as the stores are small and the number of visitors is quite large. When we found the shop, there appeared to be a rather unorganized line in front. We soon realized it was just people milling about. The line did start at the door but we soon discovered that you can order from one of the 4 electronic pads on the counter. Once you place your order, it's rather a short wait for the desserts. We arrived about an hour before closing and the item I wanted - buko pie - was sold out. We opted for ice cream instead. We also ordered the Calamansi juice. Fortunately, we were able to grab a table infuse and enjoy our desserts. My favorite was the black buko. My husband liked the Calamansi (sorbet). The Calamansi drink was more tart than I expected. They started turning away customers about 10 minutes prior to closing. They had a lot to clean up. Unfortunately, the group of locals sitting next to us didn't bother to throw away their trash and left it to the workers to clean up after them. This was the only group that did so during our time sitting inside. Thanks to everyone else for cleaning up after themselves! Enjoy!

    Food tastes great! Service staff were very helpful and knowledgeable, ambiance the cutest thing so welcoming and seats were comfy. Highly recommend and refreshing desserts!!

    We stopped by to try some dessert. This spot is located in the Chinatown area. I only opted to try one of their drinks. I went for the black buko milkshake. I chose to get this with oat milk. The milkshake tasted good and sweet. It was a nice pick me up after walking around a lot. Will definitely have to come back and try out their bilog.

    Bilog 8 with ube ice cream Halo halo Matcha brownie with ube ice cream
    Binh N.

    Arguably top 3 if not one of the best ube ice cream I've tried in my life. No contest about that. The place is a bit small and the lines can be long during peak hours but it is so worth the wait and slight hassle. The warm matcha brownie topped with ube ice cream was phenomenal.

    I stopped by Mamasons for an afternoon pick-me-up. There were many enticing options on the menu, but I decided to get the one that I see most often splashed across social media, the ube bilog. This is an ice cream sandwich featuring bright purple ube ice cream stuffed inside a soft and sweet milk bun and finished with a dusting of powdered sugar. Honestly, it was so much better than I expected! The ice cream itself was fantastic, not too sweet and utterly creamy. The milk bun was soft inside yet firm enough to keep its structure. The browned exterior of the bun gave it a nice sweetness as well. Although I'd be happy to sample other menu items, I'm not sure I could sway myself from getting another ube bilog on a future visit. It checked all the boxes for me! SO GOOD!

    Went for Dessert Food - 5/5. Bilog was soft and pillowy, yet maintained its shape to hold the ice cream. The ube ice cream was creamy with strong flavors of ube and was not too sweet. The milo ice cream tasted just like the drink version, except in a frozen form with a creamier consistency. Queso had the savory flavors of cheese with a slight salty kick that balanced out the sweetness of the ice cream. The cone had a nice crunch and mildly sweet flavor. Service - 4/5. They are very busy with a consistent line yet the service was fast and courteous. Value - 5/5. The bilog is priced at £7.50 and the ice creams are between £3.8-7.5, depending on size. The black cone adds an extra £1.00. The desserts truly capture the Filipino flavor profile and their portions are solid. Parking - N/A

    Mamasons is located in London's Chinatown area. It is a Filipino dessert spot that offers 6 different flavors to choose from, along with different dessert options. We decided to try their halo halo with ube ice cream, black buko bilog, and an ube milkshake. Ordering can be done via ordering kiosks, they have 3 available to use. It probably took about 5-10 minutes for our desserts to be ready, altogether. Tbh, Mamasons was a bit disappointing. The ube halo halo I had was a bit bland and the flavors did not mesh well together. Kind of tasted like oatmeal. It was unfortunate though because I really do enjoy halo halos usually and this did not do it for me. The black buko bilog also was nothing memorable. Flavors could use some improvement. The ube smoothie/milkshake was all right. Again, the ube did not have much of a taste to it and tasted like plain vanilla. I believe London does not have much for Filipino food or desserts so having Mamasons is a great addition to its Chinatown. Mamasons brought a cool, new concept and new desserts to this area but still could benefit from perhaps a bit of tweaking to their ice cream flavors.

    Classic Halo Halo
    Crissey Y.

    Passed by to try the Halo Halo and Ube and Queso dirty cream! It's definitely a fusion more so than the traditional Filipino dirty ice cream and Halo Halo. But still tasty and delicious. We enjoyed the Halo Halo most! Yum!

    Ube bilog
    Briana N.

    Such a cute spot located inside of Chinatown! And super popular, you can expect to have to wait in line but it goes by pretty quickly. We got the ube bilog which was so delicious! The outside was still hot and crispy, which made the ice cream a lot easier to bite into. However, it was so messy. They have a lot of other dessert options that I need to go back and try!

    Ube bilog
    Carissa C.

    Multiple YouTubers recommended Mamasons, so my family and I were excited to try out this popular Filipino dessert place. We came close to closing time, so thankfully we were still able to place an order. We got 1 calamansi bilog and 1 ube bilog. The calamansi bilog, unfortunately, was way too tart for our taste. The pandesal portion of the bilog was only ok, and we would've been fine with just ordering the ube ice cream alone. We did like how potent the ube flavor in the ice cream was. While we love finding hip Filipino spots around the world and love supporting Filipino businesses, we likely won't return.

    So so so good! We tried ube, black buko, queso and lychee ice creams in buns. I personally liked ube and black buko the most. Lychee ice cream (more of a sorbet texture) was refreshing, but I would eat it on its own, not in a bun. Queso was very interesting - it definitely tasted like cheese, while also being sweet, but I will probably not get it again.

I had never had goats' milk ice cream, so what better place to do that than Borough Market where they sell pretty much everything. Greedy Goat has a small stand in the ridiculously small seating area of the market. Jamie W. and I decided to treat ourselves on a balmy day. £6 will get you two scoops in a cup, and there were about ten enticing flavors to choose from. Jamie went for Caramel & Sea Salt and Banana, Chocolate & Caramel (photo: https://yelp.to/Y558VWhmM_), while I got the Cherry & Amaretto and Hazelnut (photo: https://yelp.to/1S4DBPzJiQ). Needless to say, they were deliciously creamy. We could've had a second cup, but who'd be considered greedy then?

This is where their story started, humble beginnings serving ice cream cups and cones from their 'little goat shack' at the market. Their ice cream is made in Somerset from British goat's milk. (Uhhhm, don't mind if I do!) Their ice creams are GMO free, egg free, gluten free, lactose friendly, 100% natural, suitable for vegetarians, and all that good stuff . They had a handful of fun flavors available and we went with chocolate for the kiddo and we got the banana & pecan. Our son enjoyed his ice cream and couldn't even tell it was made from goat's milk instead of cow's milk ;). We also enjoyed our ice cream. Nice, clean flavor and not overly sweet! The fact that they use locally sourced ingredients were a big plus for me and something I like to look for when visiting new places. It is quite a bit pricey per scoop, at £3.90, but we were on vacation so ... counting memories not $$$.

I was a bit scared to get this since i was by myself but let me tell you, it was not heavy as i expected it to be. Just delicious overall and would totally recommend. Chocolate strawberries: I love strawberries and chocolate but definitely think you can find cheaper alternatives anywhere in london. Bread Ahead: my new favorite pastry place. I pretty much got a donut from this place (not this location) everyday because the black currant cheesecake donut was that good. I got the tiramisu and crème brûlée donut which my brother liked and i wish i could've tasted them before they went bad but anyways, I would totally recommend the donuts from here! Their chocolate chips cookies are HUGE and delicious as well. This was probably one of my favorite markets!
