The Baklava Company is a Turkish dessert café on Commercial Road in Limehouse, close to Limehouse Town Hall and a short ride from Whitechapel. It moved here in late 2023 from a smaller shop on Whitechapel Road, taking over a former bank building with a stone frontage and a much bigger seating area.
Baklava is the focus, both traditional and in modern versions flavoured with Biscoff, Oreo and Nutella. The counter also serves hot künefe, waffles, a baklava ice cream sandwich, milkshakes and alcohol-free mojitos.
It suits a late-night sweet stop, a catch-up with friends over dessert, or picking up a box of baklava to take to someone’s house.
What to order at The Baklava Company
Go for the traditional pieces first, then try one of the newer flavours. Things the shop is known for:
- Baklava – the classic: thin layers of filo with nuts, baked and soaked in syrup
- Flavoured baklava – modern versions made with Biscoff, Oreo or Nutella
- Künefe – warm shredded pastry with melted cheese, soaked in syrup
- Baklava ice cream sandwich – ice cream pressed between baklava, the shop’s playful take
- Waffle – loaded waffles for anyone who wants something other than pastry
