Bombolone Piccadilly: Handcrafted Italian Doughnuts, Brioche Sandwiches & Coffee
Ciao London! Bombolone Doughnuts in Piccadilly is London’s premium Italian doughnut cafe, serving handcrafted brioche-style Italian doughnuts in the heart of the city. Born out of a love of Italian summers, Bombolone’s mission is to offer Londoners more than dessert, but a slice of la dolce vita through their menu of made fresh daily bombolone, sandwiches, seasonal drinks and specialty coffee.
Behind the brand are founders Sonia & Paweł, who fell in love with bombolone while travelling through Tuscany. Determined to bring that joy to London, they created Bombolone with a menu full of flavours, surprises, and Italian sunshine. Within just a few weeks of opening, Bombolone has already become the #1 bakery in London on TripAdvisor.
The art of bombolone
Bombolone’s bakers start at 4am daily, crafting each filled doughnut from scratch with carefully sourced ingredients, from real vanilla pods to proper Italian mascarpone. After months of testing and tasting, the final recipe delivers a nostalgic, home-baked warmth, reminiscent of an Italian childhood kitchen. Each doughnut is carefully handcrafted, with gorgeous artistic toppings and designs sure to make you say ‘bellissimo!’ On the bombolone menu, enjoy a variety of premium flavours including:
- Pistachio Amore with rich pistachio cream, white chocolate glaze, pistachio drizzle, and a nutty crunch.
- Mama Mia Tiramisu! A classic tiramisu dessert reimagined with espresso cream, cocoa dust, and pure dolce decadence.
- Apple Pie di Nonna serving classic apple pie vibes with spiced apple, caramel & buttery cookie crunch.
- Vanillissimo with vanilla cream inside, white chocolate on top. Classic bliss.
Deliciousness in every bite
Bombolone doesn’t just excel in desserts, their range of fluffy brioche sandwiches are the perfetto daily indulgence.
- Pastrami Bravo where smoky pastrami meets mustard, crisp rocket, and cheesy goodness
- Salmone Perfetto with silky salmon, whipped cheese, crisp cucumber & dill
- Chicken & Avocado with tender chicken, smashed avocado, zesty lemon mayo & wild rocket
- Mozzarella Classica with creamy mozzarella, ripe tomato, basil & balsamico
Guests are welcome to tuck into Bombolone’s Tiramisu delights, including the Classic, a velvety, coffee-soaked treat made with love, just like nonna used to make. The trendy Pistachio Tiramisu is smooth, rich, nutty, and totally irresistible!
Their range of seasonal cold and hot drinks and Italian sodas makes Bombolone not only London’s best Italian bakery, but also an all-day oasis for delicious refreshment.
Specialty coffee
At Bombolone, coffee is treated with the same care as its doughnuts, in true Italian style and made with love. The bakery proudly serves a signature specialty blend roasted by Moresso Coffee Roasters, crafted from the top 5% of Arabica beans grown in Brazil, Nicaragua, and Ethiopia. Each bean is ethically sourced, hand-picked, and roasted in small batches to highlight smooth chocolate notes, gentle sweetness, and a bright, fruity finish. Brewed by skilled baristas, the result is a cup that’s rich, balanced, and perfectly paired with a bombolone. Like your coffee on the sweet side? Bombolone also serves Pistachio and Salted Caramel affogatos, made with a shot of velvety espresso.
Whether you’re craving a sweet taste of Tuscany, a savoury bite of brioche, or a perfectly poured coffee, Bombolone invites Londoners to slow down, savour the moment, and indulge in la dolce vita, one doughnut at a time
