Was visiting London to run the London Marathon and boxcar was around the corner from our hotel. So…read moreglad we stumbled upon it because the food is amazing and the place is adorable. Seating is tough and you really gotta scalp, because that's the only way you'll get served. I had the strawberry matcha and my boyfriend got the orange espresso. We both loved the drinks! My boyfriend got the salmon eggs Benedict and I got the baked eggs with chorizo. My dish was phenomenal! My boyfriend owns a bagel store and was impressed by his dish as well. If you showed your marathon bib number, you got a free pasty and we tried a blackberry apple muffin that was so so good. Only wish we could've came back!

First review of 2025 goes to Boxcar Baker and Deli in London. This coffee shop between the…read moreneighborhoods of Marylebone and Paddington offers various breakfast fare, including sandwiches, wraps,and pastries. We came here for coffee and nibbles on a freezing Thursday morning, and the place was packed with patrons. Fortunately, it didn't take long to grab a table for two. The place is warm and cozy, and it's a recommended spot while doing some laundry nearby.

The sandwiches are really good, they are toasted and packed in an efficient manner, each member takes great care not only in making the sandwiches but also in hygienic standards. Top marks for the pepperoni, roasted veggies and mozzarella special ciabatta, at £3.65. Be weary though, have the cash as they don't take cards. When its less busy it's really nice to go there just for a quick bite before a nice movie. The sandwiches are served cut in half and toasted on a semi-fancy plate with optional salad. Prices, increase by 20p or 30p when you eat in. They also do pasta bakes, jacket potatoes and english breakfasts, £4.50, I can't wait for next sunday to come, I know (and you know) were I'll be eating.

I recently discovered this little gem of a store on my regular bike rides around London. It was a…read morewarm and sunny day and I spotted some delicious ice cream sandwiches in their freezer. I tried their Spumoni ice cream sandwich and immediately fell in love with it! (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. Guess how many sandwiches were left at the end of the night?

An awesome selection of juices as well for those who don't care for caffeine, and a lovely interior and a fast walk to the park if you prefer to eat outside. If I lived here I'd be there daily!

I like Bill's. Although it's a chain restaurant it doesn't feel like it…read more They have a lot of branches and are open from breakfast to late dinner and the menu can please everyone: Salads or small plates if you're on a diet, vegetarian mains, tapas to share... they have something for everyone so it's a great place if you have fussy friends. This time I tried the Mac&Cheese rarebit and was a bit disappointed: there was no bread (I mean that's the main ingredients of a rarebit) and the cheese sauce was a bit too liquid to my taste. On my last visit I tried the pasta and they were really good. I guess you can't be a winner everytime.

Wow!! Amazing food both Halal and regular…read moreOrder the green shakshuka! So good it wasn't typical as it had cream, cheese and spinach I highly recommend it.

The staff were very friendly and open up conversation with you, taking an interest in you and what you have been up to instead of just treating you as a customer. Very reasonably priced and a great chilled out atmosphere make this a place worth going to. And if you get the chance, have a slice of the rocky road chocolate cake! You can guarantee I will be returning very soon so I can try that out because it looked AMAZING!

As were were on our way from Paddington Station to Kensington Gardens, I pulled up Yelp to find the perfect place and up popped Laurents. The pastries looked great, as did their savory fare but I needed some sugar so decided to get a lemon meringue tart and a coffee. The tart was delicious and the coffee was excellent. Staff members were friendly and cheerful. We sat at a table outside and watched the world go by as we gathered our strength to continue our sightseeing. It was the perfect place to stop and I recommend it to anyone in the area.
