But who really give a hoot about the decor when the food on offer is to die for? The buttery tea cakes melted in my mouth, the cream cakes did likewise, and the coffee was strong and fresh but not bitter. I walked in and (at least it felt like it) rolled out again 45 minutes later, my life much enriched by having visited Presto.

The place always smells so inviting, but the prices are so expensive, even if you are taking it away not eating in. There is a good range of interesting pasties, but prices need to come down, and I need to feel assured that the food is OK, if I'm ever to go back.

A few years ago, I began working at the Bridge Patisserie before I became a loving customer. Not…read moreonly is it a fantastic place for a Fairtrade coffee, a tasty sandwich and a delicious fruit-covered frangipan, but it is a lively hub of art, music and culture. A French patisserie located not five minutes from the bustling Winchester high street, this little cake and sweet shop is modest and even a little bit nostalgic of that excitement as a child over delicious treats and sweets. Although the shop itself is tiny and some products are a tad pricey, it is a great place to catch up with friends in a cosy, friendly atmosphere. The staff are very aware of decoration, atmosphere and art and they are all extremely hard-working. The shop is cash and cheque only, which to some may be inconvenient. However, I find it nice to get away from modern day technologies and be taken back to simpler times with a hot drink, a cake and a book. Enjoy!

Fruit flans, cakes, chocolates, and many other concoctions both chocolate-y and pastry. It's a friendly neighbourhood spot with a couple of stools with high tables and a few more tables in an attached room. It's a great spot to visit for a coffee and a sweet treat after wandering through Winchester Cathedral.

The cappuccinos were delightful and the server was charming in this town centre location. She was…read moreever smiling, she rustled up our coffees, and glasses with ice for our 500ml coke zeros and she generally fussed over us delivering our order to our table. She fussed over all of her customers. It struck me watching the staff just how different this place is to Starbucks. Much more friendly and no extra charge for a glass of iced water (see my review of rip off Starbucks Portsmouth). Costa also sells Coke Zero which the other lot don't - ice cold coke is great when the temperature is steaming. We were delighted that the place had effective air conditioning as it was 34c - hotter than Barcelona. Costa now advertises that it has linked up with Marks & Spencer for food so it's a touch of real class in their sandwiches, wraps and sausage rolls. They had free WiFi, the seating was comfortable and their toilet facilities were clean with paper towels provided to dry hands. Go Costa.

The sandwiches are very cheap except they are expensive. And the cakes, are really a bit ropey. Well, I guess these guys have a monopoly and are using the cheapest ingredients they can make and charging a bomb. I don't really respect this kind of attitude frankly, there is no love in it it's just about the money. The banana / nutella milkshakes are good I guess they can't cheat on those ingredients easily.
