Christine’s Mikate – African Doughnuts

Treat yourself to African Doughnuts at Christine’s Mikate in Shepherd’s Bush Market. Mikate (also known as beignet, puff-puffs, or African doughnuts) are a traditional welcoming treat, and here it’s made to share that same “home” feeling with every batch. Firstly, expect soft, fluffy doughnuts with a golden, delicate crust—freshly made with care and respect for tradition. Then, enjoy the modern twist: flavours that build on the classic recipe while keeping its roots front and centre.

Next, choose your mood. Go classic with Vanilla Doughnuts, or switch it up with Cinnamon Sugar for a warm, comforting bite. If you fancy something fruity, try Banana Delight or the Jammy Delight option. Meanwhile, cookie lovers can lean into Biscoff or Oreo flavours for a richer finish. If you’re sharing, pick the Doughnut Bites Platter and mix four flavours in one box—ideal for mates, family, office treats, or a Market stroll snack.

Importantly, you can still eat your way: some options suit vegan preferences, and you can request gluten-free options too. So, whether you’re discovering mikate for the first time or reconnecting with a nostalgic favourite, you’ll find a warm welcome and a sweet stop worth seeking out in the Market.
