  “Amazing and unique pastries at a good price. I had a hojicha latte and this was also lovely. Cafe itself feels very cozy although it is small so too many people already there to sit in. But well worth the visit!”

  “5/5 for the baked goods and the service! The ube cheesecake was really lovely and not too sweet, creamy with a subtle ube flavour. The shio pan was DELICIOUS: great butter taste coming through, and the sea salt on top really takes it up a notch. A bit disappointed by the matcha though, it was very milky, the matcha itself was barely noticeable. The staff was very welcoming and warm though!!”

  “The BEST matcha that I can find in Cambridge. The bun and Shio-pan taste so good. After going there 3 times, my favorite one is Garlic Cream Cheese Bun! They worth the price!”

  “Came here for the first time; been looking up this place for a while. Would recommend it. The matcha drinks is tasty; and the Filipino bakeries were delicious - had ube pandasal and loved the taste”

  “Our expectations weren’t fulfilled. We hope an amazing product due to the high demand the place has, but it wasn’t anything from the other world. Coffee was ok but quite normal, and matcha the same. Too expensive for the real quality What it is very disappointing is the small space they have.”

  “Delicious baked goods. The ube cheesecake has to be my favourite! The drinks are refreshing and unusual. I had the ube cloud which was a perfect accompaniment for a warm day. The queue can be a bit long at the weekend but definitely worth it!”

  “Cute spot, although incredibly small and slightly out of the way. I ordered the special hojicha latte and was decently satisfied. I think it was good for England standards, as most drinks tend to be super milky and flavorless. I could taste the hojicha, it wasn’t bitter but it was a bit powdery. I liked the foam on top, it was the only sweetness in the drink. The mochi was fun, more savory than sweet. The shop is very small so be weary about dinning in. They have some outdoor seating too.”

  “As a Filipino, I was very excited to try this bakery and see how it would compare to our pastries back home. In terms of their creative dishes, the kalamansi cinnamon bun was really tasty as well as the bread with egg (more Korean inspired). The pandesal itself was good and sweet as should be, but misses the mark on overall lightness to the bread. The ensaymada was good but to make it authentic, requires a bit more sugar. I'll definitely be coming back to try the bibingka!”

  “This little cafe is located about a 15 mins walk from the Cambridge train station. It’s quite small, with only a few outdoor seats available. Unfortunately, since it was a holiday, their pastries and cheesecake were sold out, which was disappointing. we ended up ordering a blueberry matcha and an iced matcha. Both were rather average, especially the iced matcha, which had too much milk and completely overwhelmed the matcha flavor. Overall, it didn't meet my expectations, and I felt a bit let down.”

  “Lovely Asian-inspired breads and pastries with some unusual drink options including fruity matcha lattes, ube (purple yam) float and turon cream cold brew. The Filipino pandesal and ube pandesal buns are soft and not too sweet. My favourites are the ensaymada and Korean garlic cheese bread, but there's always something new and interesting to try, such as tocino mushroom focaccia or gochujang tuna melt. The queue on weekends can be long and there's not much space either inside or outside. The staff can also take quite a while to clear tables as they're busy trying to serve customers. I wonder if the owners have considered expanding the inside seating area, but on the whole the café is worth visiting (regularly) and deserves its place as one of Britain's Best Bakeries for 2025 by The Good Food Guide.”
