  • Now London is getting a second tiramisu shop, with Giuseppe's Tiramisu opening in Shoreditch

    You know how it is. You wait ages for a shop devoted to tiramisu, and then two come along at once. Hard on the heels of Marrone in Soho comes Giuseppe's Tiramisu, which is about to open up at Boxpark Shoreditch. The man behind it, Giuseppe Federici, hasn't worked in hospitality before, but it's most definitely in his blood with his Sicilian grandparents having an Italian restaurant in Stoke on Trent and his parents running an ice cream business.

    What's different about Giuseppe's

  • Humble Crumble is opening in Marylebone, just around the corner from Selfridges

    Eight years on from her first stall at Maltby Market, crumble has become a big thing for founder Kim Innes. She's even had the Prince and Princess of Wales in an apron helping out at the brand's Borough stall. And now she's about to open outside of a market (her other London sites are at Spitalfields, Borough and Camden). She's heading into the West End, having chosen St James Street for her new central London shop.

    If you haven't been to a Humble Crumble before, the clue is in the name - it's all about crumble in every form. The classic is their most popular, an apple and

  • Gaztela brings Basque cheesecakes (including a blue cheese version) to Notting Hill

    Up until now, La Maritxu has had a bit of a monopoly as far as Basque-style cheesecakes go, but now a contender has entered the ring. Gaztela has just opened in Notting Hill and they have one version that you'll have to try. 

    Gaztela comes from Inna and Ignacio, a Spanish-Ukrainian couple who met studying hospitality in Spain. It's all about Basque cheesecake, but they say theirs is a more modern take on the dessert, with an extra creamy, barely set centre, using their own blend of hard and soft cheeses. Having spent lots of time refining the recipe, they launched on

  • Aussie brand Yo-Chi are opening in London, and people are losing their minds

    14/8/26 - updated with the opening date

    London's food scene is having a bit of a thing for frozen yoghurt right now. We've already had the LA company Go Greek Yogurt opening up to huge queues on South Moulton Street. And now the next viral launch looks like it'll be Australia's Yo-Chi, in Notting Hill.

    We'll admit, we'd never heard of it, but we could see fans on social media going completely crazy at the thought of being able to get this particular brand of fro yo

  • Shaved ice desserts and matcha have come to Selfridges with the launch of Hinaga Kakigori

    Selfridges likes to keep pretty quiet about what's coming to the food hall until they arrive, and that's been the case with the latest addition. Last summer London's first Kakigori shop, Hinaga Kakigori, opened in Fitzrovia and now they've opened a second space, in Selfridges. 

    Kakigori is a Japanese shaved ice dessert, with the desserts all created (or at least finished) to order, with the ice shaved from huge, crystal clear ice blocks. Inside the ice, you'll find fruit and other fillings, with options including their Panda, coconut and mango dessert, which is created

    Every weekend at Barbarella in Canary Wharf, you'll find staff wheeling around their new tiramisu trolley. And it's not

    The hugely popular Jollibee restaurants in London may not have the enormous queues they had when they opened, but are about to launch something that might make them build up again. The Peach Mango Pie is a much-revered Jollibee dessert dish and is about to come to the UK for the first time.

    Apparently, they sold 45 million of them worldwide last year so you can probably understand why
