WA cafe in Ealing

Absolutely love WA cafe. All of the food and drinks i have tried have been great. Would be nice if there were some non-dairy options for the cakes.

WA is one of my favourite cafe in London. First time visiting their Ealing branch. The cafe is a bit small and can be very busy during weekend. The ambiance isn’t the best unfortunately but the food and drinks are always good. Had the iced Sakura matcha which was good (though I was expecting more Sakura filling) and my husband the iced hojicha. We also ordered the pain au raisin mille feuille which was amazing! The best one I’ve ever had and I’m a French person who is used to it. Definitely want to come back again to try more things.

A lovely Japanese bakery, offering delicious cakes and sandwiches which you can't easily find in the UK. They also have a good range of hot and cold drinks. The service is fast and friendly, and the cafe has a very lively atmosphere. It's quite small, so it does fill up pretty quickly. It's a bit on the expensive side, especially compared to a normal English cafe/bakery, but given the unique items on their menu, I can justify spending a bit more here when I want to treat myself. Well worth a visit.

My favourite Japanese cake & bread shop.

Had an iced matcha and a hojicha latte with a match roll cake. I did expect a bit more stronger tea flavour from both lattes, however they tasted a bit watery and underwhelming….although the cake nice and fluffy but for a slice of small and thin roll cake the price point is pretty ridiculous

Nice, quiet little cafe with lovely and friendly staff. Drinks and food are high quality, very delicious and served quickly! I ordered the matcha tiramisu and the chicken katsu sandwich, both were fantastic 😋

This afternoon, I sat down for a matcha and I saw how one of the ladies serving customers sneezed and wiped her nose repeatedly with the gloves she was wearing. She didn’t change her gloves and just carried on serving customers. When she touched a cake that she was going to serve a toddler and his mom I called her out, she smiled and acted like it was no big deal. Disgusting and shameful!

I had a nice strawberry cream cake, but the prices here are quite shocking. I paid about £7 to sit in with this one slice of cake. Shop is nice, and there’s lots of baked goods on offer. Staff are friendly, but it’s mighty expensive!

Little on the pricey side, but the cakes are very much worth it. Drinks and savouries are also very nice and staff are polite and quick.

Traditional Japanese style cake

Mont Blanc desert was good - I only tried a couple of them so far but this was the best. The prices are pretty high, and even bigger if you eat inside instead of take away

Best place to go for cake and coffee!

I ordered a Matcha Tiramisu whole cake to celebrate my friend’s birthday but I am disappointed with its unbalanced taste. It is too sweet for me, I assume it has the unique bittersweet flavour of matcha but unfortunately it doesn’t.

nice place and service but the bun was dry and not fresh. no date marked on it so a bit dodgy selling days old buns

Dog friendly and high standard of patisserie would recommend their Kuro Goma latte served hot

Nice cakes. Disappointed by their tea. They used tiny amounts of tea leaves which made them tasteless. Only a few tables with limited seating.

Amazing place with amazing staff

The cakes and sandwiches are very lovely!! Highly recommended!!

A lovely Japanese cafe/patisserie in Ealing. They have beautiful desserts, but also some savoury items, as well as coffee and tea. The seating space is rather limited.

Nice Japanese patisserie, with several locations around London. I didn’t like the flavor of daifuku, but the bear bread was nice.

I visited WA Café on my birthday looking for a whole strawberry shortcake, but it was sold out. However, the amazing staff, especially Manami, went out of their way to help. She came up with a brilliant idea and combined individual strawberry shortcake slices for me so I could still have my birthday cake in the end. That thoughtful gesture truly made my day. Exceptional service, kindness, and a real commitment to making customers happy. Thank you, Manami, and thank you, WA Café.

Fun Japanese bakery. Courteous service.

¡Este lugar es una locura! El pastel de queso de sésamo choc blanco es increíble. La bollería siempre está deliciosamente fresca. El servicio es bueno también.

Impeccable service and delicious food always

Great Japanese sweets. Hidden gem in Ealing. Note that bread is not served on plates.

All the cakes were very tasty and I felt like I was back in Japan.

Love this place. One of my favourite cafes in Ealing.

Please bring back your amazing matcha croissant I am sooooo sad you stopped it

very nice place, super service, but parking problems

I love it! Cakes are amazing! It is a bit pricey, but I guess we pay for how unique it is.

Pedí algún postre en Deliveroo como regalo y lo que llegó fue un derramado puré de postre caído. Servicio patético. En absoluto vale la pena el precio y si así es como envía los productos, entonces evitarlo completamente.

This Japanese cake shop is located on Ealing Broadway and is very easy to find, just a few minutes from the underground station. They have a wide variety of desserts, and the place is very cozy. The staff are friendly and welcoming, which is why I often come here to meet friends. Their cakes are delicious and outstanding, especially the chocolate praline. The matcha latte is also great, with beautiful latte art. I visit frequently and recently bought a cake to celebrate a birthday!

You guys deserve more than 5*. Impressive cakes. super yummy. the choclate banana cake is WOW. This certainly made my birthday so special. Thank you :)

Cakes are nice but the service is average. I ordered a hot hojicha latte and the barista claimed that I ordered a cold one and rolled her eyes when I asked if she could make me a hot one instead. Kind of disappointed - given the price I paid and mood got ruined as I just want a chill and nice Sunday afternoon ☹️

This place is a rare treat! The best matcha, delicious savory snacks and cakes! Those are not only delisious, full of flavors and interesting tastes, but also a pieces of art. One cake is such a rich treat, You will know that is enough. My favorite place in London, if You looking for some outstanding sweet experiance! And the calm atmosphere is a cherry on the cake! Love it! 😍

WA Japanese pastry cafe in Ealing neighborhood. Small, but pleasant place with curious and delicious cakes, with coffee, tea and Japanese drinks. Different prices if you buy and take it away or if you take it in the place that has few tables.

the cafe is overall good but a bit not as good as what it is being advertised or i expected. it is with limited seatings maybe around 5 tables so i opted to order takeaway. I tried green latte and a chocolate banana slice cake. It tastes 3 stars actually but with the staff service, i would give 4 stars max. So I may not visit again :3

Quality has gone done massively since they opened but it's still better than 90% of London bakeries so can't really complain.

Cake is nice but bread is not that soft. Workers can be more kind if it's really a Japanese cafe.

Love the cafe but hojicha latte was a huge disappointment! You only taste soya milk! Too little hojicha powder and soya overpowering everything. This is based I already specifically asked less milk… also, not understand why do you put soya … a cup of soya for £4.8…

The food is good the place is clean Comfortable and so delicious

Lovely place for a nice dessert. Not only are all the sweet treats amazing but the staff is incredibly nice too. I tried matching tiramisu and I loved every bite of it.

Got the custard bun and strawberry cake. Delicious. Extortionate pricing. And huge discrepancy with eat in and take away. Not worth the extremely high cost

Fantastic Japanese patisserie in the centre of Ealing Broadway. Amazingly delicious cakes ! Highly recommended!

I absolutely love this place. We have bought the occasional cake to take to my daughter's who lives locally. It's a nice treat with a cuppa. The place itself is so clean, spotless in fact and the staff are so polite and eager to serve. But it's the quality of everything that's on display on the food front that makes me return. It all looks fantastic and I especially enjoy the matcha milk roll but the choice is a delight for the eyes.

Interesting snacks on offer - try the chicken karaage in a bun. Service is faultless, location is great, just a short walk from the tube station. Staff are very attentive and polite. One of the best Japanese coffee places in town. And nothing letting you down. Am looking forward to our next trip there - hope to try their matcha rolled cake

Delicious hojicha latte! It would’ve been great if they had at least one vegan cake though, because all the cakes looked very good!

Buenas tartas sabrosas, pero tengo que dar un total de 2 estrellas, ya que el servicio es deficiente y no vale la pena el dinero / visita. Esta fue mi segunda visita, pero no me ha ganado, así que no creo que me apresure a regresar. La tienda Covent Garden se siente llena de asientos limitados. La forma en que se organizan los asientos en la parte delantera es súper incómoda porque todo el mundo parece estar mirando a cualquiera que simplemente entra en la tienda. Parece que estás en una pista y ellos son los espectadores. El personal es la peor parte de la experiencia. No son tentativas. No muestran entusiasmo con lo que hacen y las dos veces que visité, el personal detrás del mostrador solo logró sacar una sonrisa falsa cuando se vio obligado a servir. La tienda es pequeña con asientos limitados. La gente antes que yo y yo habíamos querido encontrar asientos antes de ordenar, pero al personal no le podía importar menos. Terminé pidiendo los pasteles y me fui como sentí que me estaban apurando. No se siente como un ambiente acogedor en absoluto. Simplemente da la vibra equivocada. Para aquellos que buscan servicio como parte de la experiencia de compra, sin duda no recomendaría esta tienda.

The cake was delicious and the staff were friendly.

literally the best patisserie in the world

Absolutely love everything about this place.

When I ordered I wasn’t asked if i wanted to eat in or take away my drink and fruit Sando. So when I got my driink I wanted to take a seat and the server told me I didn’t pay to sit down. Never in my life have I been to cafe and was told I could not sit down after purchasing items from their menu. Also the cream Matcha drink was absolutely terrible… I had to throw away the entire drink. Worst matcha I’ve ever had !

Went there to try their matcha cake and it was out of this world! Can't wait to try other treats and beverages! The atmosphere is cosy and fancy at the same time! The staff are very attentive and polite!

One of the best desserts which I had in a long time. We tried 4 different small cakes and they were all fantastic! I highly recommend the Matcha Tiramisu and the White Sesame Cheesecake. The staff were very friendly and nice as well.

Came here for the cakes and came home with some pastries! The cafe is a bit pricey as other reviews say, but they currently have a promo of 5 items for £13 (see photo) on offer for most of their breads. Such a good deal!

It used to be a lovely place, not any longer. Sadly we (myself, my little daughter and my pregnant friend) were told off today isn a disgusting way I can't believe the staff behaved with us with no manners whatsoever. Unacceptable comments towards the way my daughter eat cake. Spent there today approx £40 and this is was the last time I've been so generous. Everything is overpriced for the quality provided. I used to like this place. They took a chair away from my daughter as well and gave her someone's clothes which were on the chair without any excuses. I was shocked. All staff required to get manners No parking. Kids unfriendly.

I stumbled at this little cute place and loved their sweets to accompany their nice teacoffee drink!

Lovely Japanese patisserie selling the most beautiful and delicious little cakes, pastries and sweet treats. They have a good selection of hot drinks too. Would highly recommend this place if you like cakes and other sweet foods!

I was a bit disappointed with this place. The matcha latte was really good & the cakes looked good, too. However, savoury options were limited & the service was average. I might go again to try their cakes though & will update the review accordingly.

Yumm cheesecake and chocolate praline

A bit overpriced and not much space inside. The cakes are nice but coffee is definitely could've been better.

Delish Japanese style strawberry sponge cake

Il locale è carino e i dolci non sono male (anche se di dolci giapponesi ne abbiamo provati di migliori), tuttavia, anche data la posizione è molto affollato e i posti a sedere non sono molti. Noi abbiamo preso da asporto, ma il servizio ci è parso molto distratto e poco capace di gestire la clientela, con gente che cercava anche di passare avanti ed ordinare prima (cosa di per sé molto fastidiosa, ma con alcuni dolci quasi finiti, lo diventa ancora di più). Indubbiamente ci sono cose da migliorare e immagino, in particolare il servizio che è stato davvero deludente.

Such a beautiful Japanese cafe with standout desserts. Cakes are amazingly fluffy (mango is a must try), the unique drinks are surprisingly tasty and they also have excellent caramel latte. Croissants are great, though the pan was a bit dry. Overall, a lovely spot for sweet treats and coffee.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

If you look for authentic Japanese green tea desserts, this is definitely the place to go for.

Fantastic little place not too far from Ealing station. A great variety of Japanese cakes and hot drinks. The matcha latte is superb, as are the various matcha desserts.

I am French and For lovers of fine pastries of quality as good as French ones but less sweet. These are for many standard pastries slightly revisited, they are delicious, sublime for the eyes and not very sweet, I highly recommend. There are also excellent pastries and Japanese buns. It also has a variety of exceptional Japanese tea. On the other hand, the place is quite small and quickly full but the service is great. If you pass through Ealing don’t hesitate! Very good addresses

Tasty small cafe with very little seats, matcha cake portion was small but tasty. Souffle cheesecake is also good but the mermelade on top is not as good as the cake itself.

Food is nice but one of the lady staff is so rude.

Absolutely delicious desserts! Not possible to bring someone with a lactose intolerance or who is vegan though as all the desserts contain milk of some kind. We didn't realise and my partner has a lactose intolerance so he could only drink the tea

This place was so busy on a Saturday Morning but SO worth it. I had the Matcha Melon Pan and Chicken Karaage Sandwich which were both so stunning. (If you're wanting the sandwich to be hot, you'd be out of luck though). The only issue with the shop was that I couldn't buy one of everything to try! The next time I'm visiting Ealing, I'll definitely be around.

I ordered an iced Hoji Cha Latte and it tastes ABSOLUTELY watery and flavorless with minimal tea flavour and scent (worse than Kova patisserie). Getting served within 20s after payment makes me suspicous of whether they actually premade iced drinks for customers. £4.80 for a water-like drink is a rip off no doubt.

Love this place, very friendly staff and a nice place to spend some time

Top desert shop. The deserts are delicate and balanced with interesting Japanese flavours.

Deliveroo :) a bit pricy but taste great Sausage roll and mango cake 🍰 😋

Top notch Japanese baked goods and cakes. Matcha tiramisu and the strawberry cake were all delicious. Not too sweet. But these goodies are all expensive, costs £6.50 to £7.50 each! Service from the staff was not the greatest sadly.

My husband and I came to London with the family. We were highly recommended to try WA for their wonderful Japanese Cakes. We agree the cakes were fabulous but for the price we paid, we would expect to be greeted with great service too. Both the serving crew were unpleasant and unfriendly which is very unlike all the others we have encountered in London. Conclusion is that we will not go back again. London has very good pastries and great service crew.

Olvídese del artículo en mi bolso y llame a WA desde mi casa, pero el teléfono 020 8991 7855 2 veces, pero la línea está muerta. Correo electrónico a ellos pero no responder a mi correo electrónico

Katsu sandwich is not delivered.no reply . very bad customer service

I’ve been buying pastries here for a few years because they are lovely. Recently, however, I noticed that their Mont Blanc has reduced in size quite a bit. This is disappointing because the price remains the same.

Beautiful cafe, but expensive and seating is limited but it’s a very nice place, actually the best coffee I’ve ever had.

Japanese run,exquisite cakes,pastries,drinks,just beautiful.

Excellent beverages and cakes! The customer service is always great, friendly staff who remember you. I like that there is no wifi and you can relax with a book on a weekday when it's not so busy during the day.

Delicious food, polite and helpful staffs. Matcha caffe latte and matcha roll are exceptionally good!

Genuinely authentic Japanese cafe serving amazing cakes and desserts, where you would rarely find in London (most are run by other Asians but claimed authentic). Recommended!

Would like to buy a dessert and popped in this Japanese cafe. I bought a piece of strawberry cake , taste is quite good, but a bit expensive

I've always enjoyed the Japanese style pastries here. But however the service is terribly appalling especially in the morning. The manager (I believe) dressed in white was really unfriendly and made it seemed like she's 'doing you a favour' in manning the till. Spoilt my morning with this, which was unfortunate.

This quaint Japanese cafe exceeded expectations with its charm and culinary delights. The matcha tiramisu was a revelation, blending the richness of traditional tiramisu with the distinct flavor of matcha. Paired with expertly crafted coffee. Must try place for cake lovers.

Very delicious Japanese desserts and drinks, Very good prices. It has different prices if they are to take away or to eat in the place.

The styles of desserts are very attractive and are rarely seen in the market. But the coffee is just mediocre

My second time visit with this japanese patisserie shop. I had a matcha tiramisu and it's delicious. Their patisserie are not too sweet. I highly recommend this shop if you're concerned about your sugar intake.

Real Japanese bakery. They have speciality cake/bread every season which I enjoy.

It's always buzzing and bright in WA café but not to the point it is hectic. There is a calm atmosphere amongst staff and customers that radiates satisfaction. The cake here is wonderful and I always get a box of 4 each time I visit Ealing. The cake here tastes as good as it looks and I highly recommend popping in.

Amazing service from the young (asian) manager. Did not get her name

Food and service here is exceptional but I did go around a quiet time on a weekday. Lovely vibes if you just want to have something with a bit of peace and quiet with a nice view

Incredible service and gorgeous array of pretty cakes, pastries and Japanese-inspired confections and drinks. Very high prices though which was a little disappointing.

Ordered take away and items are missing. The package came with a sticker which states that please do not contact them directly with regard to any missing items. Disgraceful. Unscrupulous. Shameless.

£4.80 for a matcha latte, very white, extremely milky. Disappointed. The presentation looked great, just to find out that all the bright green matcha was looking beautifully on top and underneath it was a barrel of pretty much plain milk. Service was also appalling. They ran out of cakes (apparently), I asked if there was anything left and they confirmed that there was not, both to me and to the next customer. Imagine my surprise when 20 mins later they sold take away cakes to new customers from a fridge underneath the counter despite it had not been restocked whilst in there. Clearly lazy attitude from staff for dine in. Will not come again.

I dont if people are getting paid to write reviews but this place is honestly not all that, service is so mid the waiters feel very passive agressive i think theyre only nice to white customers and regular customers that come all the time. the food is so expensive i spend 19.20 on two very small cakes and a matcha latte which was not nice at all

Picked up birthday cakes, they are AMAZING!!! The only place i will go to now when I have a craving. Thank u for the excellent products WA, and lovely professional staff. 🙂
