Woni Patisserie - Review - Bloomsbury - London - The Infatuation

"Close to Holborn station, Woni Patisserie is an in-and-out dessert shop with beautiful choux buns that have saved us in many a ‘emergency birthday cake’ situation. Everything in the pristine glass cabinets at this Japanese-inspired spot is tempting—from fluffy strawberry shortcake to jiggly Basque cheesecakes—but if you’re only getting one thing, make it the matcha choux bun. The craquelin is satisfyingly craggly, crunchy, and sweet, and the matcha filling is velvety smooth. We’ve found the matcha drinks to be a little weak though, so skip those. photo credit: Aleksandra Boruch photo credit: Aleksandra Boruch photo credit: Aleksandra Boruch Pause Unmute Food Rundown Basque Cheesecake Not quite as custardy a centre as we’d like, but this is still a pleasant cheesecake. The caremalised, sweet top is especially good. photo credit: Aleksandra Boruch Strawberry Cake A fluffy chiffon cake with a satisfying, pillowy texture, but the overwhelming flavour is of cream. photo credit: Aleksandra Boruch Matcha Choux The matcha cream in this proud, puffed-up choux bun is perfectly balanced—it’s got just a hint of bitterness which balances out the sweet pastry. photo credit: Aleksandra Boruch" - Sinéad Cranna
