It's…read morequite stressful to be bombarded with pumping music while you're queing up to get you carrot apple and ginger juice.

I've been here a few times, and as this is the closest coffee shop to the Chancery Lane tube stop, I'll probably come here a few more. It's a solid place that serves up coffee quickly and the iced lattes are especially good - perfect to cool off on a midsummer commute. I've also tried their avo & mozzarella & tomato sandwiches, which are the perfect size and price for a quick lunch. I have yet to try the smoothies/juices, but I'm sure they'll be just as good. The vibe is pretty standard of chain cafes - artsy interior, loud-ish music, hipster baristas - but there's always plenty of seating and free wifi, and I'm not really looking for too much more in a lunch stop/morning caffeination station.

I didn't find the prices that expensive for the area - £5.49 for a large salad (which is actually not medium-sized) and the treats about £2.50-£3 each.

Okay yelpers, I need your help!…read more I have had crussh's sushi before and been pretty unimpressed. But then I forget...and several months later, when I have a sushi craving, I try it again. Argh!! Please yelp folks, if you ever see me entering crush, please scream "JOSY, DON'T GET THE SUSHI!!" to help me to remember not to be a waste-of-money-terrible-sushi-buying-idiot. My veggy sushi today was particularly bad. The rice was tesco-sushi-esque, so hard and with a slightly strange flavour. There were peas mixed with the edamame(!?) and the egg was super-sweet and more like a fluffy sponge than an omelette. The inari sushi wasn't bad- apart from the rice. Also I wasn't remotely filled up by the measly 6 bits of sushi and a little salad for £5.20. Crussh might be good for smoothies and meatballs, but just don't let me ever buy their sushi!! Thank you yelpers. I appreciate your assistance.

I will say she said her drink was really good but I didn't try it so I can't attest to that, but I got the chicken bacon Caesar salad Sandwich something like that and that was interesting. I felt like the sandwich filling itself was actually really tasty but the bread was weird. It was like almost like a cracker. It had the texture of one since it was really hard. That was kind of weird and it wasn't necessarily bad, but it was just unexpected. Again the inside was really good so that's why to me I would get this place like 3.5 if I could, but I wouldn't give it a 4 just based off of the sandwich that I had. Ambiance wise it is really cute and very pink but otherwise a regular sandwich shop and the staff were pretty nice.

Well, the product you'll get at Crussh is similar to the one you'll remember from the above scenario, except you won't be out the £150 cost of a juicer that you'll never use, and you don't have to clean up the mess. It's still a bit crap, though. And your yuppie, middle-class street cred will take a blow, seeing as though you will not be the proud owner of a completely disused juicing machine.

My colleague has been trekking fairly out of the way to make this a part of his breakfast routine,…read moreand I was curious so I tagged along to check it out. What he is a big fan of is the scrambled egg pot, which are pre-prepared and sitting in a heating rack by the door, along with porridge and what they call "Fit Egg," which is basically a soft cooked egg. You then take it to the counter and order much like you do at Pod, and they add in the desired toppings out of small containers and then you are well on your way out the door. It's very good for the time constrained. The scrambled eggs are wonderfully creamy, and the chorizo and avocado that I selected as toppings were tasty, but the disappointment came with the toastie soldiers that I tried to order. The person preparing it was very confused and there was some back and forth, but basically I had to wait a few extra minutes, and then what came out was a slice of bread that had been sliced into soldiers, but not toasted at all! At least at Pod they give you some nice slices of buttered and toasted bread. He is also a big fan of the smoothies, but for me that is not so much a breakfast and more of a refreshing drink in the summer, like the Jamba Juice we had back in the US. On another trip I got the pesto chicken and cheddar toastie, to see how it compares to the ones I sometimes get at Pret. It was mediocre, but nothing special, and it annoyed me that they didn't cut it in half so I was just served on enormous toastie that kept falling apart. Overall I think this place has potential and I may give it another chance, but so far I do not think it is worth going out of your way for.

The flat white is always my preferred option, but the Americano was good as well (if a touch acidic). The Banana Bread was nice and moist, although if I had it to do over again, I'd try it with the creme fraiche, blueberries, and candied pecans rather than plain. The Coconut Milk Porridge was a nice and hearty (and healthier) way to start the day. I was a little confused by the menu, thinking that it came with compote, granola, banana, date syrup, and pistachio. Those are really two different choices; compote and granola, OR banana, date syrup, and pistachio. I didn't regret the compote and granola, but the banana, date syrup, and pistachio also sounded pretty interesting. They also had a small selection of pastries, which all looked good. Highly recommended for a light breakfast/lunch/snack!
