I've had a meeting in West Kensington and as usual I was way too early...so I decided to go over my…read morespeech at a local Starbucks or so...but luckily I walked by this little gem of indy coffee shop. The atmosphere is really nice and there's plenty of seatings - big community tables, small tables and high-tables that allow you to look out of the window. I didn't pay much attention to the food selection, but there was quite a nice array of different beverages - cold and warm alike. The only downside for me was that it was packed with Mommies and their screaming kids...but I just plugged in my earphones and tuned out the whining noises. Try it out, it's for sure refreshingly different from the nearby Cafe Rouge...

Lovely place. Stumbled upon it on the way to Westfield at Sheppards bush. Atmosphere is very cozy…read more You find yourself feeling right at home on the wooden tables/benches. The pastries and freshly baked goods are spread all over the counter in neat arrangements. Most of the cakes are displayed at the window and really make passerbyers salivate. The place is also family friendly with a change table across the toilet and toys around the eating area. On my first visit, I had one of the best hot chocolate I've ever had. The eggs benedict was a decent portion size and satisfying on a cold winter day. The day right after I couldn't help but go there again and had a generously filled smoked salmon crepe filled with cream cheese. Definitely will make this a local fav of mine!

The farm and cafe is a very short walk from mudchute dlr station, so day out to the farm or just visiting the cafe is easy. staff were friendly and the food was good, although my one bad point is it needed seasoning and the tables had no salt or pepper. The quality of produce was very high. I can recommend this as a pleasent place for tea and ( home made ) cakes which looked very yum, lunch or breakfast.

Everything is reasonably priced and the staff are very friendly, going above and beyond what you'd expect. I'd definitely recommend this place to students needing to furnish a flat, there are some good bargains to be found if you look around and the prices have some room to manoeuvre, especially if you're getting a few bits. They offer delivery on large items through their van drivers, and also do house clearances for people who are getting rid of furniture.

The British heart foundation at Sidcup has 2 shops, one selling the normal array of clothes, bric a…read morebrac and dvds etc and the other selling electricals, household goods and furniture. Both shops are well laid out. The clothes are high end prices and a bit too dear for me but the furniture shop is amazing and has so many bargains I can't list them all here but it's easy to pick up a tv for £20, a dishwasher for £50 and a bookcase for under a tenner. The upstairs is not accesible for wheelchair users or anyone who can't climb stairs. The shop can be accessed for the high street or the best bet is to park in Morrisons and walk down the stairs as the car park is behind the shop.

I love this cafe, situated right by Greenwich for DLR station…read more The people who run it are simply lovely; incredibly friendly service. The sandwiches are fantastic, and you're more than welcome to go "off-menu" if you'd like your own fillings. I highly recommend the Meatball and Feta toasted Ciabatta, which actually came as a recommendation from the lovely lady who worked there. Prices are extremely reasonable, and the food is fantastic. A good selection of breakfast and lunch-type foods are available, and the atmosphere is friendly. The cafe is spacious, clean and I always try to make time to come here at least once a month. Would you want to bring a date here? No, but that's not what it's for. Would you bring a group of friends here after a messy night out for a hangover cure in a friendly setting? Absolutely! And for that, 5 stars is deserved.

Families, couples, friends and who else not! Everyone's enjoying their favourite meals and choices from the Carvery and other choices from the Kitchen. They serve food in sumptuous quantities. For the carvery, you have choices of three plate sizes, in different prices and you will be served by their Carvery Staff of the day. Their regular menu has a variety of stuff to try from platters, starters, soups, pastas, burgers, salads and fries, even sweet potato fries (hmm.. i love them) Extremely helpful and wonderful staff. They have seating inside and outside (great for summer days). If you have kids, they have a nice play area outside, slides and things like that, which I'm sure the kids will love. They even hold parties. Beautiful pub to have your Sunday roast or to grab a pint anytime of the day. I go there at least once every week, mostly on weekends to have a quick brunch and I have never been disappointed. Food is also very good, I've uploaded a few pictures so you can take a look.

The service is also very friendly, and as I found out, the baristas are not averse to making conversation with their more engaging regulars. I can say from personal experience that their food is pretty darn good. I've only had their bagels and pastries, but from the look of that menu, they've also got you covered when a snack just won't do. And I'm not ashamed to admit that I've worked my way through quite a bit of their tea, coffee, AND hot chocolate menu, and I've yet to have something I didn't like. If you're going for something sweet, though, get ready for your teeth to hurt a bit. It's not unpalatable, but it's definitely kid-friendly, if you know what I mean. (Hella sweet). I've been to one of their events, and while not the over-the-top extravaganzas you might find at other places, this one had a chill and cozy vibe with a women-empowering twist that made me proud to shop there and support the local lady entrepreneurs.
