Editor’s Note

Last updated 29 May 2026

Our take: The Better Half consistently receives high praise for its aesthetically pleasing and delicious cakes.

Reviewers frequently highlight the visual appeal, describing them as 'too pretty to eat' and resembling 'something lifted from a Japanese dessert sketchbook.' The taste often matches the presentation, with specific mentions of the Black Forest cake and the Earl Grey Lavender cake for their balanced sweetness, fluffy sponge, and smooth frosting.

Coffee is also noted for its smoothness.

We think this spot excels as a destination for quality desserts and a pleasant, comforting atmosphere, especially for those seeking a quiet respite.

The cafe's warm, rustic decor contributes to its inviting ambiance.

While some reviewers mention a queue, it doesn't appear to be a significant deterrent.

We'd recommend The Better Half for a delightful cake experience, whether for a personal treat or a special occasion.

It's a reliable choice for those who appreciate well-crafted desserts and a charming setting.

First time here as it is waaaay too far for me. But I am in love. Little cake was so fluffy when I warmed it up and it was not too sweet and flavor was subtle and not overpowering. Coffee was great an…
