The story
At Borough Market, Mché stakes a straightforward claim as a bakery and pastry stop, earning a solid 4.4-star reputation among city explorers. This casual takeout spot on Gracechurch Street draws visitors primarily for one thing: its chocolate babka.
According to the Frama Twins in their Londra street food tour, the babka is undeniably rich in chocolate and butter—yet the dough came across as slightly undercooked and dry. It’s a polarizing detail that keeps the pastry from being a universal triumph, but the strong butter-and-chocolate core ensures Mché remains a worthy detour for babka devotees navigating the market’s stalls.

Mchè’s babka al cioccolato earns singular, rapturous praise, with the overall vibe being one of intimate, indulgent warmth.
“We got the chocolate babka from this bakery at Borough Market. The chocolate flavor is really strong, and there's tons of butter and chocolate inside — they put a crazy amount. The dough feels a bit undercooked in parts, and it's very pasty and not very moist, so you need to chew it a lot to swallow. It's not bad, but it's the kind of thing you grab when you just want a little sweet snack.”

Leadenhall Market is a small, historic market that inspired Diagon Alley in Harry Potter, but it's smaller than expected and very crowded.
