Crosstown Canary Wharf - Doughnuts & Coffee

Crosstown are fresh donuts. At their Canary Wharf shop inside the Jubilee Place shopping mall they taste the best as they are stored and served inside at the room temperature. Their coffees are great too. There are 8 places to sit and two tables with chairs in front of the shop. Toilets are conveniently located in the nearby food corner with many more places to sit. There is also a smaller old-van-style Crosstown donut shop located just few steps from the main entrance to the Canary Wharf Underground with same great coffees and service. Dark chocolate truffle donut with a cup of their cappuccino is my favourite. The chocolate ganache in the donut is a real treat. I also liked milk chocolate truffle or chocolate honeycomb. Some other flavours have rather muffin-style dough and consistency. They're all vegan too. It's not a cheap donut (£5 or £7.50 with coffee), yes. It is rich, but not heavy and it has never upset my stomach. I'll be back :)

One of our favourite X-towns…in town. They have the whole range of hot and iced coffees, doughnuts and ice creams. Location is a bit hidden as near the wharf kitchen and underground so less appealing compared to Café Brera. However, the quality is stunning and even overcomes the sort of aloofness of most of the staff usually working there. Though generally quiet and clean.

I'm wasn't not a doughnut fan before until Crosstown totally converted me. I was so thrilled to see that they had opened a spot in Canary Wharf and popped in to have my usual matcha latte and matcha doughnut. It's sweet but the fresh matcha gives it a nice after-taste. The matcha lattes are good quality and fresh. Not oxidised. I should venture into their ice-cream next time.. Yum!

Definitely the best and lightest donuts you can have in London. It is not greasy or buttery taste really good. Favourite flavours are, cinnamon and sugar, cinnamon swirls and vanilla beans. They have occasional flavours too, this month Yuzu with berry lime taste so good and fresh, worth a try. Their cookies and ice cream are good too but not as good as the donuts. Customer service experience is different depending on staff and when you visit.
