The BEST PATISSERY IN UK. The man is a genius. A combination of Japanese and French techniques providing exceptional tasty results. The combinations of tea and strawberries, Chocolate, and pear lead to unique gastronomic paths. A spotlessly clean shop with exceptionally friendly and knowledgeable people in minimal decorated surroundings offering pastries you never tried before with almost absolute balance between sweetness and savoury. Prices are good and definatelly value for money. A superb selection of packaged tealeaves is also on offer. Only open for walk ins on Friday Saturday and Sunday so prepare you schedule.

Really delightful fusion cakes combining Japanese and French baking elements. This place had been on my list to try for almost 5 years as I had been recommended by friends multiple times but just never got round to trying it until now. It's mostly because it's not close to home and there is nothing else to do in the area so I didn't manage to find the right reason. But this Easter long weekend I decided to trek down from further North since it was nice weather. I was surrounded with so many delicious and visually pleasing options I didn't know what to get so I asked the staff member who the bestsellers were. She very kindly recommended a few so I got 4 slices in total - plum tart, green tea tart, green tea and strawberry cake and baked cheesecake. One thing to note is that they only do take aways, but there are 2 seats outside. I grabbed the seats for me and my friend and we just devoured one slice each on the spot. I went with the plum tart which was so pleasant, tasted almost like a British tea cake because of the mild flavour. The plums on the top definitely added more flavour to it. I then divided the remaining cakes to eat for the next few days and thoroughly enjoyed each and single of them. My favourite has got to be the green tea tart - OMG the green tea flavour was so rich and smooth it was phenomenal with the white chocolate flakes on the top! The remaining 2 were good but I was so mind-blown by the green tea tart I can't really remember much in terms of flavour. I am definitely going back soon for more green tea tart and would love to try out the other ones as they all looked so tasty!

The word "hidden gem" gets thrown around a lot but there's really no other way to describe Lanka. It's near criminal this place is not better known as it delivers some of the best patisserie in London. An interesting and masterfully executed mix of French/Japanese fusion and regularly changes what's available. I'd highly recommend this to anyone, no doubt it's one of London's best.

Easily my favourite patisserie in London. It’s a perfect fusion between Japanese and French patisserie. Can’t recommend it enough. Just a note that since the pandemic, they no longer accept walk in, it’s only for takeaway now.

There is very little seating but other than that fantastic place. Lots of dessert options available, including seasonal cakes. Also they serve one of the best teas I have tried in London. Highly recommend. Chef is also very kind and attentive to the customers.

Absolutely WONDERFUL!!! Amazing place with the sweetest staff, a superb atmosphere and delicious food including tarts and cakes! A real heaven that I highly recommend! I ordered a birthday cake for my friends 30th birthday and it was incredible!! Truly the best cake that she ever had. It was fantastic and perfect. The chef was so lovely and helpful as always! Thank you very much for making my best friend’s birthday truly spectacular!!

A nice little place for morning or afternoon tea. They provide a wide range of classical French desserts, which are freshly baked everyday. However, it is a shame that most cakes are too sweet to feature the delicacy of different texture and flavour. They also offer a selection of great tea, which could to some extent balance out the (over)sweetness of the cakes.

Love this patisserie. Exceptional quality and delicious cake. I really like how they pack the cake even though you are buying just one slice of cake. The staff actually put a “cake holder” so the cake stay put in the take away box. Big thumb up for the cakes, services and friendly staff.

We love that pâtisserie . Never been disappointed. Rum baba is a strong favourite, followed by strawberry cake with green tea. But still many to choose from that we haven’t tried. Today, the black forest reinterpretation was excellent.

You’ll be hard pressed to find a better french patisserie in London, if not the UK. Cakes are always perfect and worth every penny.

Probably my favourite bakery in London so far! Having lived in France for a few years, the pastries reminded me of those I used to get from renowned patisseries shops. It’s the right amount of sweet and the flavours are very unique. Would definitely recommend giving it a try.

I love this place. All their desserts are fantastic. Very reasonably priced too. Highly recommend it to anyone in the area. I wouldn't be exaggerating if I said this was the highlight of Finchley Road.

The pastries are stunning and strike a delicate balance of flavors without being overly sweet, allowing each flavor to shine. I've sampled a few things, but my absolute favorite is their macarons. The thoughtful and practical packaging for takeaway is also noteworthy.

So many choices of cakes! Staff were very polite and helpful. There are a few tables where you may eat in, but mostly it’s for takeaway. The green tea tart tasted amazing, and it was thoughtfully packaged too, so the cake was intact after 10 minutes of walking.

Best French patisserie in London, lovely team, amazing Chef Masa and his wife Mina are a real treat in our beautiful city of London. My favourite cakes from this place are The St Honore, the Paris Brest and the Yuzu Mousse, I love it!

I come to the shop every now and then. Their earl grey creme brulee is my new favourite! It is very difficult to choose among the desserts options as all look incredible. The staff are very polite, friendly and patient.

Always get excellent service and high quality French/Japanese fusion cakes here. Available range changes from day to day so there's always something new to try. The range of Sri Lankan teas is great. Hope they bring back dine in option (that is still not reinstated since the pandemic) as it was a lovely little place to bring a friend or date.
