WA Café (Ealing)

• Cheaper alternatives and we were on the hunt for 3 weeks
• I was ridiculously excited to find that it was a beautiful Japanese café
• Their bakeries and patisseries are consistently gorgeous
• (fried buns with Japanese curry inside)
• Their matcha lattes and their huge gourmet sandwiches with homemade bread
• Each item comes out as they are freshly made in the kitchen
• We have tried all of the following (though my sister was visiting recently and some of them were eaten with and taken by her
• I promise that a) these were all spread out across several weeks (how many counts as several
• I think that this must be the most glowing review of any place I've every written on WTW but they are fully deserving of it
• There is no better feeling for us than to know that we are supporting an independent
• Local business while stuffing ourselves silly with such deliciousness
• We both turned up with empty stomachs with the intention of ordering lots of cakes and buns to share between us
• Savoury buns we ordered the karage mini roll (white roll filled with pieces of chicken
• Was filled with sesame cream
• All the buns were light and fluffy
• I think my favourite is the egg and mayo doughnut although it was deep fried
• It wasn't oily and the dough was very light
• It might sound weird but this is a really good invention
• They all look delicious and it was hard to decide what to order
• Our friend E is a regular customer and gave us a few suggestions
• I don't know how to rank these in order of preference because all of them were really good
• I think my favourite is the white sesame cheesecake
• The first bite was like love at first sight I fell in love with it
• The sesame flavour was very strong
• Decorated beautifully with strawberries
• The texture of the cake is as light as it looks
• Another item which you must order when visiting is the choux trios
• I think the sesame cream is the same as the cream used to fill the brioche rolls
• The matcha cream is strong but not overpowering
• I was surprised by the custard cream choux because I wasn't aware that the centre was filled with azuki beans (my favourite)
• The strength of the matcha was just right
• Was very busy with people coming in and out
• The struggle was to find a free table
• Matcha green latte is served in authentic Japanese cookware
• Lightly whipped cream finished with scrummy fresh strawberries
• Matcha green tea is a healthy addiction
• Featured in Timeout and it was pure luck I had to go to Ealing for a house party on a Saturday
• Before venturing forth to this cafe I had to do a bit of digging online and I was pleasantly surprised
• I think WA cafe has one of the best looking websites that I have seen in recent memory
• So I just had to check out to see if it was as good as it looked
• I think their matcha roll is the best I've had in London
• My roll partnered with my matcha latte was the perfect combination for a lazy Saturday afternoon
• I also like that WA Cafe serves savoury dishes (I noticed their Japanese curry bun was popular) so you can make a meal out of your visit
• We couldn't get a table as they were a bit busy so had to do a takeaway instead
• Their choux trio was out of this world
• Heavenly choux pastry filled with sesame cream
• Vanilla cream with red bean paste
• I decided to go here with my friend for a cake brunch
• I once tried to go just before closing and they were almost sold out
• Delicious pastries made with such care and attention to detail
• The takeaway boxes are absolutely adorable and the staff is very polite
