Reviews of Kova Patisserie Chinatown

C. J.

Tried two dirty bobas from here - taro and milk tea, as well as cheesecake and matcha crepe cake. The taro was definitely not strong enough in flavour. The cakes were nice. Probably not the best place for the boba connoisseur, but nice little pastry shop with quick service.

C. R.

Love this little cake shop & bubble tea. Service will quick when buying takeaway. Freshly made cake with delicious 😋 taste. Highly recommended ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

G. C.

Incredible pastry selection I went directly for the matcha tiramisu as it had **eat me** all over it. The dessert didn't last long between me and my partner who devoured it in minutes. Fully recommended #garystribe #localguide #localguides #foodblogger #travel blogger

M. Z.

Feels like the cheese lava can be a bit less salty, but great chiffon cake and great taste overall! The matcha Mille crepe was amazing too

s. s. (.

Really delicious, light and fluffy japanese cakes and bubble tea! They sell sandos too -- strawberry, chicken teriyaki and egg, just like what you'd get at a japan train station. I got the strawberry shortcake, earl grey mille crepe cake, souffle cheesecake and matcha crepe cake. My favourite was the matcha!

C. G. M. (.

Located in the heart of Chinatown, Kova is a perfect little shop with a variety of Asian desserts and bubble tea specialties. We had the signature milk tea which was delicious. The staff are all very kind, polite and helpful, and the service is also very fast. Would definitely recommend!

J. W.

Really liked dirty boba but after drinking half of it there was only cold milk remaining. They could be more generous with brown sugar and tapioca as 50/50 it was pleasant and then just milk leftover. Matcha cake was amazing! The strawberry one was awful. It’s hit or miss with this place but the items that are good are truly good. I don’t think it’s overhyped as some things are really worth trying but def has some stuff better to avoid

S. G.

Yuzu Tart was excellent. Souffle Cheesecake was mildly sweet, but so tender.

M. S.

My favorite cake shop in London. It’s hard to find a nice Motcha crepe here, but Kova made it! Strongly recommend for people who love Motcha cake.

J. J.

Very yummy and creamy crepe cakes. The Earl Grey and Matcha cakes were heavenly and took me to my time in Tokyo. Highly recommended!

L. Y.

One of the best cake shops I found in London. They are not too sweet and you can taste the ingredients. I especially like their coconut crepes (in which you found soft coconut pieces inside), very refreshing.

S. N.

My favourite mille crepes in London, love matcha and chocolate ones! Also recommend the sea salt cake! My friends love it and I guess it is the best seller!

M. A.

Popped in to Kova to try something new and was recommended the strawberry cheezo. It was a pleasant surprise, I really loved the contrast of the sweet flavour from the strawberries mixed in with the savoury flavour of the cream cheese. Think of it as a richer version of strawberries and cream combo.

M. M.

Love, love, love. Will be returning after my first taste of these delicious crepe cakes. Would post a picture but I ate it so fast I forgot

I. K.

I had the dirty matcha boba and also a matcha crêpe cake and they were both delicious (although I would recommend liking matcha for this particular combination). it's really conveniently placed right in the heart of Chinatown and close to lots of other places. I'd say you should try it.

A. M.

It was not bad in my opinion. Just a basic bubble tea place. Nothing special so far? Maybe i will come back to try its other menu. Maybe it would be worth it? Maybe it would be amazed me. Coming soon? Stay here for the upcoming amazing review from me. Nevertheless, it would be interesting to try for newcomers.

J. B.

I usually go to the one in south ken and love the bubble tea. I was in the area today and decided to go to this branch, nice cute little place, looks clean and friendly staff service was very quick. ordered my usual dirty matcha milk bubble tea, brilliant as usual bit pricey to be honest but still one of my favourite bubble tea shops in London. They only do one size wish they did large size also.

A.

This is alright dessert cafe. I have ordered cheese , match, chocolate and crepe cake. Cheese cake is good and rest of them is alright. Not bad but not so special. i think It is little over priced. I like the individual package was really good. And i can be the plate for the cake. Nice.

N. C.

I love this place!! It's the best place to get a nice unique dessert and they also do bubble tea!

R. A.

Always super friendly and helpful staff. Their drinks are nice and refreshing but I mostly coming here for their cakes. My favourite is the sea salt lava cake pictured in the box but I’ve also had the Mont Blanc (lovely treat if you like chestnut) and the strawberry sponge. All very light and not too sweet!

J. D.

After trying different flavors (mango, sea salt, strawberry, matcha, durian) from Kova, I love the durian cake the best!!!

H. J.

Would give 10 stars over 5 if I could. Ordered matcha Mille feuille as a birthday cake, it tastes fantastic. Luckily the patisserie is still open for delivery during the long lockdown, we are so happy to enjoy a bit the life during this long black tunnel :) thank you Kova

N. B.

Mm top dirty boba bubble tea - with brown sugar and matcha. If you haven’t tried - you must. Staff are super lovely too 🌟 top stars

G. L.

Authentic Japanese patisserie 😍 cakes are quite expensive but a good treat; you won’t be disappointed! Matcha crepe cake is a must try, personal favourite is the earl grey crepe cake.

F. S.

Popped in just before closing to get a Dirty Boba Oat Milk. First time I've tried it, was really delicious! Will go back to try there desserts, they were pretty much sold out. Very popular place!

R.

One of the best bubble tea shops in London! The cakes very yummy, the staff is friendly and of course amazing boba. Definitely worth to visit!

R. F.

OMG! the best matcha crepe cake. so tasty. not overly sweet either.

J. L.

Had matcha bubble tea. Can’t taste matcha, just sweet. The bubbles tasted good though. But don’t think i’ll go again. My friend had the fruit tea, cost £8 pound and he regretted it.

W. P.

I got the Oreo Cocoa Milk Tea and it was gorgeous. The bubbles at the bottom were even warm. Just a bit expensive at £5.95

K. L.

A winner of all Leicester Square desserts spots. I ordered a sure must try for all matcha lovers, and a gentle introduction to those who never tried matcha: Matcha Mille Crêpes. I won't lie, it's not the cheapest (around 6£) but the beautiful balance of sweet and bitter in this piece of cake is certainly a rare treat and a must try. Many other cakes are available and all are looking very delicious. After trying the matcha crepe cake I am pretty sure that whatever dessert you order it will not dissapoint. They also offer some milk bubble tea drinks although the menu is quite plain compared to other specialised bubble tea places around - understandable, they focus on cakes. Additionally, friendly staff but not all speaks good English so at times it was difficult to communicate. Get your piece of cake and head somewhere else for a drink if you don't tolerate dairy (only one option available).

J. L.

Great Patisserie. Not too sweet, just perfect. And beautiful.

M. Y. K. C.

I have visited many many times as it is my favorite. Loved all the cakes and the iced teas. A really good to go for cakes and drinks. Clean and outstanding quality cake and drinks quality that I have expected and highly recommended.

A. A.

I go here for the matcha mille crepe cake and boy is it a thing of beauty--enough to draw me out of my suburban home and into the city just to get it. The bubble tea selection also looks promising as well-- I hope to one day try it.

H. H.

A cute and small spot with an array of Japanese desserts for you to indulge in. From shortcakes, bubble tea, Crêpe cakes, and more The Mango shortcake was a mixture of chiffon cake topped with mangos and beautifully whipped fluffy cream. This dessert is definitely one to indulge in if you don’t want something heavy - it really does feel like as if you haven’t eaten any dessert at all! With the right amount of sweetness and the strong taste in mango, I would highly recommend this if you are a mango lover Can be shared with a friend, or eaten on your own, this dessert is perfect. Would love to try their other flavours For the price, it is slightly on the expensive side, but it’s worth a go as a treat Would love to come back and try their bubble tea

D. P.

absolutely love the crepe cakes all of them are so good, I got the matcha and vanilla

T. T. R. L.

We ordered the lava sea salt cheesecake and it was amazing. The texture is excellent and the cake tastes really amazing. Ordered an 8” cake for 12 people and it was lit!!👌👌 Definitely worth buying the cake!

Y. R.

A hidden gem at Chinatown!! Brown sugar tea is always recommended, Mille crepes cake and strawberry shortcake are my fave❤️!! Won’t let you down if you’re looking for Asian desserts and drink at central.

L. L.

Tiny shop with no seats. Take away only. Matcha crepe so nice and creamy. The matcha boba is very milky and not enough matcha flavour. £5.45 pricey for a medium size bubble tea as next door theres two other bubble tea shops that are better and cheaper.

V.

Great service provided by the cashier. What I appreciated the most was, when I walked in they provided their services in English unlike a lot of restaurant and shops in Chinatown who automatically think you should understand or speak Chinese, Cantonese. Very busy shop, but props to the employees, very patient, and respectful. The cakes (especially the mille crepes) were amazing.

I. N.

The matcha mille crepe was the best! The price was £5.95 per slice

Y. S.

We always came back for their cakes whenever we wanted to treat ourselves, and they never disappoint! Love the matcha tart which is rich in flavour and has a nice balance of bitterness and sweetness.

H.

Mango cheezo and earl crepes always lovely. And durian crepes price little high but absolute deserves. The matcha tiramisu is my new lover. All cake suitable sweetness for who just love not so much sugar like me.

T. Z.

Delicious cake and friendly staff! Bought a slice of chocolate mille crepe, and it tasted so good! Really love the texture of this cake.

D. E.

Will definitely be visiting again for the Japanese cheesecake and chocolate crepes!

A. T.

This shop offers a variety of crepes like Matcha, vanilla, chocolate and coconut..all are very yummy. Matcha Gateau and bubble tea is also worth trying. Would highly recommend this place.

R. L.

Ordered a whole Matcha mille crepes online and picked it up from the Leicester Sq shop. Delicious cake and pick up was quick and easy!

B. E.

The Dirty Boba with Oat milk was INCREDIBLE. Best boba I've ever had. The cakes are out of this world; light as a cloud and so delicious. Definitely worth checking out! 🤗

v. s.

I was curious about trying matcha and decided to go for the dirty matcha boba and it was so tasty!!I will definitely be back soon!service was great too!

R. R.

A delight with every bite! I would definitely go back here for this beautiful mango cake.

N. Y.

Really nice as fluffy cakes and super good Bubble tea! Will Come back for sure!

M. T.

Amazing dessert place in china town, I go here mostly for matcha mille crepes, but their bubble teas are equally amazing.

S. Z.

Small shop but offers very good Matcha Mille crepe~highly recommended.

K. W. C.

Always busy, friendly, pleasant quick services most of the time except for one occasion I was waiting for over 15 minutes to be served. But I still go back there after I had a word with the manager and he apologized to me therefore I like to give them a second chance.

v. T.

Mango Cheezo tea is so nice, not too sweet. Love the cheese layer, highly recommended.

B. S.

Slightly long wait for being the only person in store, but was worth it. Oreo Cocoa Milk Tea was very tasty and filling.

R. S.

Tried the sea salt java cake. Very tasty, comes in a small box. Slightly expensive for one slice but to be expected being in china town london. Will try again and another flavour. Wasn't too buzy in shop and literally took 30seconds to order pay and take my order away. Friendly staff :) thank you

J. P.

Delicious cakes! I'll hopefully get through all their cakes one day but so far, have only tried the matcha mille crepe (about half a dozen times...) and the sea salt lava cake, which is as weird and as wonderful as its name. Can't recommend Kova enough!

R. G.

Oolong bubble tea or signature milk tea with boba are my go to drinks whenever I get Kova. Tapiocas are very soft and chewy

S. L.

The sea salt cheese lava cake is heavenly! Looking forward to trying something new the next time

C. d. L.

Their bubble tea is absolutely delicious. Had the dirty matcha boba and it was so so good!

Z. L.

soooo nice of it！！ the pearls are the best I‘be ever have in the UK. Sweet level can be made by saying it when ordering. Soooo nice! I will definitely have another cup the next day!

J.

Sooo frickking delicious! If you’ve never had Asian desserts go here! My favourite is the layered matcha cake and the checkered one!! Surprising light and airy so doesn’t sit heavy in your stomach. Definitely going again yum!!!

V.

Take away only. Matcha gateau and matcha mille-crepe!

S. M.

Really amazing place! First time going and the cake was so nice! Definitely coming again and the customer service was impeccable!

F. T.

amazing bubble tea and delicious crepe cakes, friendly staff. would recommend!

L. A.

I got the green crepe cake. I dont know if it was a green tea favour but it tasted like it. Was not too sweet and not bitter. I took it for take away and took me 2 hours to get home. But when I opened it, it melted a bit. I didnt know that, it was still good enough to eat but I suggest you lot to eat it with in the first hour :)

N. D. (.

Really good cakes but one drink too rich tummy upset

S. R.

They don't accept cash!

R. G.

Loved how they interacted with my comment (see the picture attached)! It's these little things that make for a beautiful experience in these times. As for the desserts the lava cake is sumptuous with its volume lightness and decadence does not fail to delight.

D. B.

Very pretty shop and food! I got the Chocolate crepe and the Strawberry Sando. Both had fresh creamy texture. I'd go back here again, the staff were friendly.

a.

everyone should try the oreo cocoa milk tea !!

J.

Their lava sea salt cheesecake is good in general. The salty cream goes with the sponge cake perfectly. The quality of cakes isn’t stable. The second time I had it wasn’t as good as I had last time. Their earl gray mille cake is not too bad but very similar to Lady M, a famous Mille cake store from New York. ( especially the presentation ). Their drinks are also good. Just everything in this store is overpriced.......

A. A. G.

They make a great Dirty Matcha

C. Y.

highly recommended Ordered earl grey Mille crepe and matcha crepe,very yummy.

H.

Incredibly nice staff and great products that they sell. The earl grey crepe was particularly good.

P. T.

One of my favourite cake shop

J. H.

I’ve been to the other branch for cakes so I was especially excited when I heard this new one was selling teas too! The oolong cheezo offered a refreshing flavour fusing with the salty cream layer in each sip. A lighter drink compared to bubble tea! £3.95 at the time of this review. It appears to be a take-away place since I didn’t notice any seating.

B. 2.

My wife and daughter are so happy with their drink, and I am happy with their smiles.

L. F. &. T. &. W.

Love the Hojicha roll cake here! Also they have really nice cake selections here. Recommend Earl Grey Tea and Matcha Crêpe cakes too 👍🏻

F. M.

Legendary milles crepes cake & nice drinks.

O. H.

Always liked the macha mille crepe when Kova used to just have one location at Soho. Also like the sea salt lava cake. The new cheezo tea caught up quickly. Will be better if it has some sitting but I guess its hard to come by in such an popular area

M. C.

Great drinks and customer service. Would definitely recommend!!

A. H. N.

Amazing cake, fluffy and soft, just like in Japan.

d. p.

Best chocolate crepes I’ve ever had

A.

Underwhelmed by the cakes, texture is good but the actual taste and flavour is actually bland

I.

Probably the best place in Chinatown. Everything matcha is a must 💚💚💚 once you try the mille crepe you will keep on going back for more.

S. P.

Loved the Oreo cocoa milk tea, absolutely divine.

(Translated) Recommended by a friend to buy this ❤️ These two cost me 11 fat but they are really delicious It's so delicious that I can leave a place for them on my page🤤 - 👉£5.45 I ordered brown sugar pearl matcha oat milk Doesn't seem to be on the menu I started with pearl brown sugar matcha milk tea Later, when I saw brown sugar pearl oat milk (no matcha), I said I want to change to oat milk He made me matcha oatmeal milk I think it's really right He doesn’t have the rich feeling of milk, but because of this he won’t feel tired I don't like too much too much myself This just won't overwhelm the wiping I can repurchase this drink for him - 👉£5.95 I think the Melaleuca Pie is also delicious But it won't taste so good I want to go back and buy it again The cream feels a little bit too much I might order other desserts next time But for matcha, I still like the matcha rolls from WA - Instagram:changchiching (Original) 被朋友推薦來買這家❤️ 這兩位花了我11胖但是真的蠻好吃 好吃到可以在我版面上留個位置給他們🤤 - 👉£5.45 我點的是黑糖珍珠抹茶燕麥奶 菜單上好像沒有 我一開始是點珍珠黑糖抹茶鮮奶茶 後來看到黑糖珍珠燕麥奶（沒抹茶）就說我要改燕麥奶 結果誤打誤撞他幫我做抹茶的燕麥奶 我覺得真的是點對了 他沒有牛奶那種很濃郁的感覺 但是正因為這樣不會覺得膩 我自己也是不太愛太濃 這樣剛好不會把抹味蓋過 這杯飲料我可以為了他再回購 - 👉£5.95 千層派我覺得也是好吃 但是不會好吃到我想再回去買一次 奶油有一點點太多的感覺 吃了兩口就覺得有點太甜 下次可能會點其他的甜點看看 不過以抹茶來說 我還比較喜歡之前WA的抹茶捲 - Instagram:changchiching
