Wheelcake Island

Was very good, a bit on the not so sweet side. Also had the drinks which was way better than a coffee shop but a little wait. The cakes where amazing we had to try all four. All was so tasty but our favorite was the chocolate one.

Tasty Taiwanese wheelcake treats available here. They're like soft thick pancakes with all types of fillings. I opted for the azuki red bean which was perfect, not too sweet.

I treated myself to a tasty little matcha custard wheelcake (it’s basically a stuffed pancake) while visiting Seven Dials Market. The wait time wasn’t too long.

If you want something ‘not too sweet’ - which is the perfect Asian compliment! Wheel cake island is amazingggggg! Go for the chocolate and custard but they have seasonal or monthly editions which are the best!

Stopped here due to my friend asking me to get her some of the wheel cakes to try, and out of curiosity I decided to try one myself too! Before buying I asked if they could be reheated as my friend wanted to try them warm, and conveniently they have a card advising how they should be stored and reheated if necessary which I found super helpful! As for the cake, I tried the matcha one. It was served hot and although I enjoyed it I feel the flavour wasn't as strong as I would have liked. I can't say for the other flavours!

Absolutely fell in love with this place! Concept is cool, unique and you feel like you get exposed to such a great peculiar treat. This company focuses on the cakes and they do it well! I tried the vanilla custard and the limited edition rose cake. Vanilla was okay but the rose was absolutely amazing! Cakes are not too sweet but ideal if you want to maybe try something new to the usual western pastel de natas or similar. Very friendly service and swift actioning. Worth a try!

While wondering around Spitafield Market, @wheelcakeisland caught my eye with their delicious looking and freshly baked before your eyes Taiwanese filled pancakes 🤤 I couldn't resist and bought 3 of their flavours to try: Adzuki Bean (sweet), Matcha 🍵 and Chocolate (mixed with Vanilla Custard) 🍫 The experience was... a bit underwhelming 😔 The dough was still a bit undercooked and the flavours did not live up to the expectations. I did enjoy the 'chocolate' one, but I don't really consider nutella an actual chocolate flavour 🤷‍♀️ (just my opinion). The matcha one was just ok, as it tasted more of vanilla custard, rather than matcha 🙁 Sadly I found the adzuki beans not to my taste at all, as it was barely sweet and beans were only half way made to paste. It was not good... 😑 I really wish I had a better experience, as I was really excited to try them! I might give them another go if they come out with other flavours to try 😊

Definitely worth a try ✅ if you’ve never had one and true-to-memory if you’re a wheelcake fan. Wheelcakes (車輪餅) are a dessert made from a fluffy pancake-like batter, cooked in cast iron pans, with a creamy filling inside. 🤩 💵Price: £10 for 4 which I’d recommend so you can sample the different custard flavours! ☑️ They’re made freshly, on-site, so the custard filling is hot when you get them. ⏰ Waiting time: Being freshly-made does mean that you may have to wait around 10min for your order depending how busy they are—but it’s well worth it and there’s so much to see at Old Spitalfields Market while you wait. You’ll get a ticket number 🎫 so you can come back and collect your order. Menu: The wheelcakes come in a variety of flavours. Vanilla custard is the golden standard 🤤 but I also tried: the 🍵 matcha, azuki 🫘 bean and chocolate 🍫 (my favourites are in that order too but it’s definitely down to personal flavour preference). Wheelcakes are each marked with a symbol 👀 so you know which one you’re eating (image added for reference). I’ll definitely be back! 🥳

Pretty cool that they have the Taiwanese Wheelcake in this food court. They make them at their stand on the griddle, but it doesn't seem they're made to order. I got handed mine real quick; I'd actually be ok if it took a tad longer to make fresh from scratch. Bean: The classic. Nice crispy exterior. Fluffy cake underneath. And a subtle bean paste in the center. Vanilla & Chocolate Custard: A newer take on the wheelcake. Really enjoyed the creaminess. Also, I appreciate that I didn't need to choose flavors and could enjoy both a dollop of vanilla and a dollop of chocolate.

I had one of these at Spitalfields Market and it was delightful. (I had the vanilla custard and Biscoff.) I've never had a tasty treat quite like this before - it was very unique, but also very lovely. I highly recommended as a fun snack to enjoy while out on the town :)

I had a Matcha Wheel Cake that I really like since the dough was tasty without being too sweet.
