DD had chocolate and raspberry and said the raspberry was the best. The macarons were very soft and fresh. I love pistachio because it is not overly sweet. Service: quick and efficient. Ambiance: we entered the door just for the macarons but I believe there was another door to eat at their cafe.

Ordered: Banana & Biscoff Cookie Butter Crepe (~£7)…read more Aya's take: We were looking for a nice, light dessert to enjoy after dinner and La Crêperie de Hampstead was recommended by some locals we were with. The crepes are made fresh and they have so many sweet and savory options to choose from. We went with the Banana & Biscoff Cookie Butter Crepe which was unbelievably satisfying. Banana and cookie butter is such an amazing combination and the buttery crepe really brought it all together. There could've been more toppings throughout as most of the flavor was really in the middle (not the top) but other than that, it was a great try!

Wow, the other reviewers really have a high expectation! I think Pret is great at being what it is…read moreand I don't find their sandwiches particularly unimaginative. Sure, there's the standard Egg Mayo with Cress and a Pret Pickle and Smoked Salmon, but once you get past the standards, there are some really great sandwiches in that cooler. Try the Red Pepper Tapenade & Soft Cheese or the tasty Crunchy Humous Bloomer or even a Sweet Chilli Crayfish & Mango Bloomer. I really love their salads, especially the No Bread Crayfish & Avocado since I'm on a low carb eating regime. It's just.. delicious. As for the coffee, I find Pret to be better than the Starbuckses of the world. First, it's organic milk. And second, it's just better roasted. It always seems to taste better to me. Did I mention it's also inexpensive. Sandwich, drink and bag of chips (they have some very unique flavors) is under £8. There are a couple of Prets in the Canada Square shopping centre, but the ones I have patronized are all the same. Take-away only with no seating and no free wifi of their own. Which is fine because the Canada Square wifi usually works okay.

They have a decent variety of treats (wheat-free sunflower seed flapjacks, wheat-free sesame seed flapjacks, 'chocolate nut slices', sugar-free apricot & almond slices, sugar-free date & lemon slices, pecan pie, etc.), with some looking more appetizing than others... It took me a while to decide, but I ended up getting a raspberry & almond slice, The lady at the cash register was nice - I asked if I could have the big corner piece and she said, 'Of course'. Ha. It was tasty but somehow quite greasy, as the brown bag it was placed in was stained in oil within 5 minutes... I'm trying the pecan pie next time, as it looked amazing, sumptuous, etc.

The matcha latte I had was delicious and not too sweet. The kimchi monkey bread is so good that my sister demanded I got her one when I was back in London. I picked her one up last week for after a marathon she had run and it went down very well. The tiramisu danish is probably one of the best pastries I've had in London so far. It was flavourful without being too heavy and was a nice size for sharing. Unfortunately I didn't enjoy last month's special croissant (strawberry lemonade). It was far too sweet for me and there was too much flavour going on. I couldn't enjoy the actual croissant taste that I love. I also don't get any phone signal in there and it's a pain trying to pay the bill via the app to get my points when it doesn't load. It took me about 7 mins to pay last time! Customers need to be able to scan the app at the till to save time. Also, be prepared to spend in here. It is not cheap! Having said that, I do feel most things I've tried were delicious apart from the one special croissant that was overbearingly sweet.
