Lanka

The green tea flavor is nice and pure. I would say this Japanese bakery still maintain the taste and style of Japanese. Unfortunately the roll cake is a bit dry.

And the staffs are friendly. Comparing to WA cafe at Ealing, unfriendly staffs and pricey, Lanka would be my option now.

Green tea Tart £4.50
Green tea Panna Cotta Azuki Bean £4.50
Green tea roll cake £4.50
Green tea Tiramisu £5.00

Probably my favourite bakery in London so far! Having lived in France for a few years, the pastries reminded me of those I used to get from renowned patisseries shops. It’s the right amount of sweet and the flavours are very unique. Would definitely recommend giving it a try.

Such a lovely place. Top quality bakery. Amazing cakes and pastries. Really lovely service.

Heard about Lanka for a long time and finally visited. Unfortunately, it wasn’t to my taste—too sweet for my liking. The matcha tiramisu was good tho.

Really delightful fusion cakes combining Japanese and French baking elements. This place had been on my list to try for almost 5 years as I had been recommended by friends multiple times but just never got round to trying it until now. It’s mostly because it’s not close to home and there is nothing else to do in the area so I didn’t manage to find the right reason. But this Easter long weekend I decided to trek down from further North since it was nice weather.

I was surrounded with so many delicious and visually pleasing options I didn’t know what to get so I asked the staff member who the bestsellers were. She very kindly recommended a few so I got 4 slices in total – plum tart, green tea tart, green tea and strawberry cake and baked cheesecake.

One thing to note is that they only do take aways, but there are 2 seats outside. I grabbed the seats for me and my friend and we just devoured one slice each on the spot. I went with the plum tart which was so pleasant, tasted almost like a British tea cake because of the mild flavour. The plums on the top definitely added more flavour to it. I then divided the remaining cakes to eat for the next few days and thoroughly enjoyed each and single of them. My favourite has got to be the green tea tart – OMG the green tea flavour was so rich and smooth it was phenomenal with the white chocolate flakes on the top! The remaining 2 were good but I was so mind-blown by the green tea tart I can’t really remember much in terms of flavour. I am definitely going back soon for more green tea tart and would love to try out the other ones as they all looked so tasty!
