Have you tried real bubble waffles yet? A lot of London spots did the whole Chinatown-viral thing a while back, but Mammy Pancake is the OG from Hong Kong – Michelin-recommended six years in a row. They have recently opened their first UK site – right on Portobello Road in Notting Hill. Instagram and TikTok: @mammypancakelondon / @mammypancake_ldn

They’re serving the authentic version, using the same specialist waffle machines brought over from HK, ingredients sourced direct from Asia, plus fun UK-exclusive flavours. Watch this space for their Halloween / Autumn flavours…

Think crispy-outside, chewy-inside bubble waffles, checkered waffles, and proper HK milk tea. Try one of their sweet versions such as the original bubble waffle, matcha chocolate chip or banana to name a few, with either vanilla or matcha soft serve on top!

Or their savoury options are also gaining a lot of traction: Double Cheese, Sea Salt Seaweed Sweet Corn, White Sesame and Salted Egg Yolk.

What to expect:
Signature flavours like Mammy Chocolate, Earl Grey, and Double Cheese
Seasonal and exclusive UK specials (coming soon)
Hong Kong-style milk tea, lemon teas, and fresh lemonade

Franchise partners Brendan and Donald are to thank for bringing Mammy Pancake over to London, both originating from Hong Kong.
