Blocks Cafe

Really really authentic dessert, don know why there weren’t any customer in there that day… should be a really popular store! Dessert is better than so many stores in Chinatown! Toast and ice cream were really tasty! and so cheap comparing to other stores!

Came here with a Wowcher deal for two bubble teas, and two waffles with icecream.
The people working at the café were really friendly — great service! And although small, the café is welcoming and has cute décor.
There is a large choice of bubble teas, and I went for the ‘signature milk tea’ one — it was rich, sweet and creamy with tapioca pearls and what I assume to be milk pudding in it — there was no scrimping on the toppings! I couldn’t even finish all my tapioca pearls as I find them a bit much after a while!
My friend had the mango and lychee bubble tea, which had lychee popping balls and fruit jelly. Again there was no scrimping! The sizes (regular and large) are generous, and I can’t imagine finishing a large! The normal prices for the tea is not bad as well, pretty comparable to other bubble tea vendors in central London.
The waffles were nice, but quite standard really, I had mine with a scoop each of strawberry and chocolate icecreams (again, pretty standard), plus slices of banana and a chocolate sauce (which turned out to be a little pot of melted chocolate — yum!).
I think the normal price for all of this together is a bit excessive, and when I go back I will try probably their honey block toast or one of their intriguing pudding specialities instead. But on the whole, a good experience and I will be back!

Came here on a Wowcher– but it was much better than I expected– the waffles were delish and the bubble tea had a better range of toppings than other places I’ve been.
I chose the strawberry and mango bubble tea with coconut and aiyu jelly and my boyfriend had the coffee milk tea (which sounds weird, but he enjoyed it).
Good location too, I’ll be back!
