They also have some very nice breakfast baguettes for £2.50 and the Greek yoghurt pots with fresh fruit at the same price. The rest of the offerings are pretty heavy for breakfast (but look amazing): ham and cheese filled croissants, pain au chocolat, etc. They do a very busy lunch crowd with some heavier hot items, sandwiches, etc. I am never around this area at lunch but it is always busy. I just come for the coffee. And leave happy. Thank you Silvios! *takeaway only - no seating. *accepts credit cards.

I have no idea how the staff make and serve the food they do and still keep smiling. Service is always very friendly. Aside from the pates, imported Pierre Marcolini chocolate, oils and deli foods, they do stunning salad boxes and tasty sandwiches with fillings that spill over. My favourite is the goats cheese and grilled aubergine with balsamic. Slightly above everyday lunch prices but worth supporting an enterprise that is passionate about high quality food.

I feel like I'm in a different European city. The flat white is below average, a Nespresso could beat it (I think the milk was burnt). The Pierre Marcolini signature hot chocolate is tasty if you like dark chocolate. But it is not worth £5.75. I wouldn't race back here for seconds anytime soon. Still a good place to read a book or a chat with a mate.

It's also (small) dog-friendly so glad I brought my senior chihuahua to chill out. I got the prana masala chai latte with cashew and coconut milk to start. Honestly it was only ok. Not the most flavorful although lovely to look at. I always find chai without dairy milk is just never as good, sadly. The waiter got my order wrong- I ordered the Kumara rather than the corn fritters- but another staff member graciously took the plate away (although the fritters looked temptingly delicious!) As there was quite a long wait for the replacement, he offered a drink on the house so I got the antioxidant revive. It was bright pink, sweet and tasty. Once my dish arrived I was thrilled how good it was: a very generous arrangement of sweet potato/ feta and pumpkin seeds all tasted wonderful. I cleaned my plate. My friend got the avo bread as vegan so just as mashed avo and bread, and a matcha latte. Service otherwise was very good. I also got the vegan wrap for takeaway. I had it for lunch the next day and wow it was great! Really tasty mash of lentils and sweet potato and quite filling.

You know, in case you overindulge on this good food and need to go run it off. The vibe is quite chill and it's a perfect spot to grab a quick bite and some good coffee while getting some work done. They even have an outdoor patio out back that, weather permitting, guarantees a lovely meal. The fare is your quintessential cafe food with a bit of flair added in for good measure. The menu has everything from toasted wraps and sandwiches- the toasted Vegetarian Wrap has a Mediterranean twist that is both light & filling- salads, pastries, eggy breakfast dishes, including a delicious French Toast dish with hints of orange, cinnamon, vanilla mascarpone, and your choice of poached maple banana or streaky bacon, or both! Even the juices and smoothies are on point here, and there is no way you can go wrong with their Dairy-Free Chocolate Smoothie with cocoa, avocado, banana, Manuka honey, almond milk, and coconut water. The coffee, of course, is great, and they carry a Milo Nutella Iced Chocolate that is sure to knock your socks off. So go ahead, take a break from all that hustle & bustle, and enjoy some hearty food and sweet drinks.

He clearly can't have ever made a slip up in his life - well done him - because of course if there was an accident caused by a waiting person, it can't have been deliberate. So don't assume - as he seems to - it comes with every meal in the cafe (in other words what a stupid thing to include in a review). I've eaten here on and off for over 18 years and find it consistent in quality and just a lovely local sanctuary. The cakes are good. I enjoy the occasional dog (to say hello to, not to eat) and like the informal feel. Good pancakes too.

(Spumoni = cherry, chocolate and pistachio) Most recently I hosted an event for 75 people and I decided to treat everyone to an ice cream sandwich for dessert. I worked with Matt (the owner of Fink's) and he recommended we order two flavors: Spumoni (of course) and Salted Caramel with Caramel + Peanut.

This café is so cute and an intimate restaurant with a homey vibe. Easy to find using google maps, and service is fast. We got very basic items the first visit - the omelette, the baguette and Americano. So simple and so good, that we told them we'd be back to try the Jacket Potato (cute name lol) which is basically a delicious baked potato, and for the crepe. Jacket Potato was so delicious with Judith's home made chicken curry. We got the savory salmon crepe, aka galette, and then we finished off with a dessert crepe - strawberries, bananas and Nutella. I would say this is the best dessert crepe I've ever had. Judith was so generous with the fruit portions and the Nutella/fruit/crepe ration was really great.
