“ A quirky little cafe with Japanese-inspired desserts. Cakes are pretty good. Service and operation are so so. It's tiny - good luck finding seats. The menu is a bit confusing - there is a dozen mille crêpes to choose from and a few cheesecakes that look very similar to each other. As for drinks, they don't have drink menu anywhere obvious. You have to ask what they have. Matcha mill crepe was good. Black sesame one was a bit dense. ”
“ I saw this while walking by and had to stop by as I enjoy eating Crepe Cakes. A cute Japanese pastry shop with a variety of desserts and drinks. They have larger dining tables in the back, where you can order and then sit. We ordered the green tea crepe cake and the green tea mochi ice cream. Both were fantastic. Both were moist, not overly sweet, chill, and just great presentation. Service was nice, kind, and fast! ”
“ Pretty good pastry that i got from here honestly. It really rare that i gave better review than the average review. But sakurado deserves it maybe its just a little bit expensive but i think it was delicious. Cheers! ”
“ Best crepe cakes I've ever had In my life. I did both mango and matcha, mango was super super light. Matcha was a bit denser because of the filling was thicker but still creamy. Awesome matcha flavor. ”
“ Nice quaint Japanese pastry shop. We had some tea and their matcha cale and strawberry angel cake while we satt outside to enjoy the afternoon. It was a delightful visit. ”
“ My first time visiting England. We were walking towards Hyde Park and we stumble onto this place. We have been to Japan and love Japanese food so we felt comfortable going in. The flowers covering the building entrance as well as the window were very inviting. The staff was very welcoming and sat us right away. It is a tiny area but beautiful from the inside. The first thing we saw were desserts they had. Croissants, Milli Crepe cakes, matchy tiramisu and sweet potato rolls. On our first day (we went 7 more times in our 2 week stay) I had the chicken katsu curry and my girlfriend had the karage Don and a Mango boba tea. It was magnificent. There was so much flavor in curry bits of potato and onion with the brown rice was just packed with flavor. The karage don was light but crunchy and the chicken breast was still moist. It was perfect. They treated us heavenly for the 2 weeks we were there and truly appreciate it. As someone who has works in the same industry it is a pleasure to have met such a delightful crew who made sure everything was great with our order. Once we visit London again we will be going back if our 8 visits did not say that for us. Thank you Mei for the service! ”
