Arôme Bakery - Mercer Street

"The Franco-Asian pastries here are some of the most interesting in London right now. Come for the miso apple danish or kinako chestnut Montblanc, and the coffee will take good care of you while you eat."

What we love

• •Pastry-first destination with a serious culinary sensibility, not a coffee shop that also bakes
• •Coffee and matcha both consistently well-made and well-received
• •Matcha is notably creamy, standing out enough that people want to know the source
• •The kind of place where ingredient choices are deliberate — kinako, miso, skin-on almonds
