Had the matcha wheelcake. It was not very sweet which is something I liked. Dough was very good. Enjoyed it with a chai (Chai guys are next to it). Fast service.

(Translated by Google) To be honest, it's really bad No wonder my friends told me not to buy it... It's really buying a Taiwanese feeling I have never tasted soft and tasteless, and the inside is loose Oreo is just putting a piece of pie in it, it's not a bond at all I don't know it's a concept, it's casual Red Bean Bean Flavor No Bean Flavor (Maybe there are no other wheel cake shops in the UK 🇬🇧) I don't have the warm feeling of Taiwan It's a brand that sells Taiwanese dishes (Original) 說實在的 真的很不好吃 難怪友人說別買… 真的是買一個台灣情懷的 還真沒吃過軟又沒有味道 裡面還鬆散的 Oreo就是放一塊餅在裡面 根本不是結合 我也不知道這是概念 很隨便 紅豆 豆感 無豆味 （可能英國🇬🇧沒有其他車輪餅的店了吧） 也沒有台灣的熱情感覺 就是賣台灣菜色的牌子

It's alright. Nothing too great. If you like pancake then you will like this too, as the kind of batter they use is similar in texture and taste to the batter used for pancakes. This just wasn't for me. We ordered the chocolate with custard filling and boy was it scalding hot on the inside. Just be careful when you eat one.

Stopped here due to my friend asking me to get her some of the wheel cakes to try, and out of curiosity I decided to try one myself too! Before buying I asked if they could be reheated as my friend wanted to try them warm, and conveniently they have a card advising how they should be stored and reheated if necessary which I found super helpful! As for the cake, I tried the matcha one. It was served hot and although I enjoyed it I feel the flavour wasn't as strong as I would have liked. I can't say for the other flavours!

Quite good, not too sweet and crispy outside. I would have like the azuki bean paste to be smoother and the cake to be a tiny bit thinner. The vanilla cream is good. Overall, quite good.

(Translated by Google) Because it is prepared in advance and stored, if it is reheated when you buy it, it will be five stars and delicious. In addition, caramel milk tea is really delicious just right sweetness Taiwan No.1 (Original) 因為事先做好放著 買的時候如果有重新加熱的話 就會五顆星好吃了 另外焦糖奶茶真的好喝 甜度剛剛好 台灣No.1
