Caution: Contains desserts comparable to a slice of heaven. You may experience occasional rapid heartbeat and/or the urge to book a table as soon as possible...
As you walk away from the hustle and bustle of Oxford Street into the heart of London's Soho, it would be near impossible to miss the set of blue glass doors that sit on the corner of Broadwick Street. When entering through the doors, my eyes were obviously drawn to the lines of patisserie waiting to be devoured. Ahead was a beautifully designed tea room, with an open tea-brewing area.
Alan Yau had the vision to open a modern Chinese teahouse in London. He may be a familiar name as he was also the brains behind places such as Busaba Eathai. It is known to be the sister restaurant of Hakkasan. Yauatcha (pronounced Yaow-ah-cha) stands on three pillars: Chinese cuisine, tea and French patisserie. The teahouse menu features about seventy teas, ranging from simple green teas to Darjeeling teas, to compliment the wide array of desserts available.
Led by Executive Pastry Chef Graham Hornigold and headed up by Head Pastry Chef Sarah Frankland, the patisseries offering at Yauatcha is nothing short of magnificent. It caters for everyone's taste, whether it be petits gateaux or macarons. Yauatcha Patisserie is the first standalone patisserie, located below Yauatcha City in Broadgate Circle. For those who want to take note, it's open Monday to Friday from 11 to 7, so definitely put it on your to-do list!
Until you do so, you can enjoy these photos of their mouthwatering desserts... You're welcome!
Lots of Love,
