We knew Cadbury creme eggs had a cult following long before the recent outrage over its chocolate shell's recipe change (quelle scandale!). After all, it's one of the most popular Easter candies in the United States and a year-round favorite in the U.K. for its rich and creamy center and admittedly adorable presentation. But a new restaurant in London is jumping on that fandom by only serving Cadbury creme eggs and dishes made from them.
While we're completely on board with turning our favorite candies into new, delicious confections—like Cadbury egg s'mores— we're curious to see just how creative the sugared-up chefs get with the menu at the aptly named Crème de la Crème Egg Café.
According to the Evening Standard, the café is situated on Greek Street in the city's Soho neighborhood and offers three floors of goodies. The first floor is dedicated to grab-and-go options like whole Cadbury creme eggs and quick-serve snacks like Creme Egg "toasties" (breakfast sandwiches) for £2 (about $2.83).
The second floor is the prime restaurant space, which will serve creme egg and soldiers (typically boiled egg with toast strips), Creme egg tray bake (gooey cake topped with crushed Cadbury eggs), and strawberries and creme egg—all for £4 (about $5.67)—alongside coffee and tea. The third floor is what threw us for a loop: It's dedicated to a ball pit, though there won't be any chocolate-creme eggs to smash as you take a dive inside.
Sadly, the novelty café is a pop-up, which means it's only opening for about seven weeks before closing up shop. (However pop-ups have been known to move from city to city...) If you're able to stop in the U.K. sweet spot between January 22 and March 6, do so on the weekend: Hours are limited to Friday from 5 to 9 p.m. and Saturday and Sunday from 2 to 6 p.m. But if you're looking for a table inside the eatery, you're out of luck. After launching reservations on Eventbrite yesterday, all time slots have sold out.
