WA Cafe (Covent Garden)B

5 New Row, London WC2N 4LH · Cafe, Bakery, Cake shop · The West End

A destination for beautifully crafted Japanese cakes and pastries, but service inconsistencies and premium pricing may leave some guests unsatisfied.

The verdict

WA Cafe delivers exceptional Japanese pastry craftsmanship and occupies a prime Covent Garden location that draws dessert enthusiasts and tourists alike. However, highly polarized service experiences and cramped seating during peak hours prevent it from reaching higher territory. The occasional quality variation and portion concerns further temper what is otherwise a destination-worthy patisserie for those willing to navigate its limitations.

One caveat: Service can be abrupt or unfriendly, especially during busy times; many guests report feeling unwelcome.
