Westi history

Our story

Esma Demirhan founded Westi Limited in 2019 in Turkey. In March 2021 Westi Limited moved the business to London, and it has been serving in the UK since April 2021.

The director of our company, Mrs Esma Demirhan, worked with international hotels for over nine years. Esma is a professional pastry chef.

Our products are made under hygienic conditions and they are all handmade and healthy. We care about sensitivities and allergies, therefore we have gluten free, vegetarian and vegan options too.

We believe you will enjoy all our products; our cakes and desserts will make you happy.
