Uchi Bake

After establishing itself in Clapton, Japanese bakery Uchi Bake expands to Islington with its Camden Passage site. Consistency is the focus, as favourites from the Hackney bakery—including beef curry buns and classic sandos—make the jump to this new outpost.

Uchi Bake also features matcha-tinged drinks and black sesame lattes. Announcements highlight the all-day menu available from morning through evening. Steady social following and regular posts confirm its position as a familiar face for Japanese baking in the neighbourhood. There’s an emphasis on transferring Hackney’s established menu rather than debuting new items, so expect recognisable options from the original bakery.
