"Our commitment to quality; organic free-range eggs & natural butter in all our baking"

Konditor & Cook, a double act of pastry chef & cook or sweet & savoury food is the brainchild of German born ‘Konditormeister’, Gerhard Jenne.

Gerhard has a passion for baking and cake decorating. He invented Konditor & Cook’s trademark Magic Cakes, as well as the Konditor Wedding Cone.
His book ‘Wacky Cakes & Kooky Cookies’ features the contemporary approach to cake-decorating that Konditor & Cook is celebrated for.

Originally trained in Munich as a pastry chef (or ‘Konditor’) and in London as a ‘cook’, Gerhard and his team have grown Konditor & Cook to six sites in central London.

Each location has its own unique atmosphere and architectural character, but all provide consistently good food using high quality & fresh ingredients.

Every day and in every way Konditor & Cook strives to exceed customer expectations.

"A hidden delight near Waterloo" Sir Terence Conran, ES

In November 1993, in a quaint back street on the South Bank, the first Konditor & Cook opened its doors to a new audience. Since then Konditor & Cook has literally put CAKE back on the menu, grown to six sites and earned itself a dedicated following of new customers; there’s even a Facebook group called: ‘Every corner in London should have a Konditor & Cook’.

Whilst that might be wishful thinking, Konditor & Cook would like to expand its offer to other parts of London and expand its online service in the future.

• We are dedicated to providing consistently good food, professionally produced in small batches. Food that not only looks amazing but tastes great.

• We aim to provide excellent service in a stimulating and unique environment for our customers.

• Nearly all our food is produced ‘sur-place’, meaning it’s cooked on the premises – fresh from the oven or the top of the stove direct to the customer” Keith Irish Waters, Head Chef

• Konditor & Cook has a list of over 100 recipes and also bakes a range of ‘free from’ cakes & slices, ie. wheat-free, dairy-free & egg-free.
