Vnilla Covent Garden: London's Viral Banana Pudding Destination
Located just 300 steps from Covent Garden tube station, Vnilla has quickly become one of London's most sought-after dessert destinations. This specialized dessert shop has created such a buzz that they frequently sell out of their signature banana puddings by mid-afternoon, drawing queues of eager customers hoping to sample their famous treats.
Signature Desserts Worth the Wait
Vnilla's Classic Banana Pudding has earned a devoted following for its perfect balance of flavors and textures. Described by customers as "light and fluffy" and "not too sweet," the pudding features layers of soft sponge cake and fresh banana in a creamy base, all served in generous portions. Their limited edition Red Velvet Pudding has also gained popularity, offering a creative twist on their classic recipe.
The Vnilla Experience
While the shop's popularity means you might encounter a queue, many visitors insist the wait is worthwhile. The staff work efficiently to keep the line moving, and the friendly atmosphere adds to the experience. Be aware that despite posted closing times, Vnilla often sells out early - arriving before mid-afternoon is recommended to avoid disappointment.
For dessert enthusiasts and those curious about London's viral food sensations, Vnilla offers a taste experience that has captivated social media and drawn visitors from across the city. Their New York-style banana pudding has been hailed by some customers as better than any other version they've tried, making it a must-visit for pudding aficionados.
