I have noticed in my time in London that there are several locations. Plenty of goodies to choose from. Cakes, pies, gelato, and other delicious baked goods. This made it very hard to choose! I decided upon an espresso and almond croissant. They even heated it up for me. Within a few short tasty bites it was gone. Perfectly flaky with slight almond flavor. The place isn't very big but had a few places to sit and enjoy my pastry. Everything was decorated beautifully and looked amazing. I would highly recommend stopping here! Tell them Valerie sent you ;)

Thanks to Yelp, I found the branch of Konditor and Cook bakery closest to the theatre. The entire staff was very helpful over the telephone and via email as well as live chat. They delivered an elaborately decorated Curly-Whirly cake to the Globe right on time. My daughter and the other members of her troupe all agreed it was one of the best tasting cakes they'd experienced I am looking forward to visiting the store next month when we visit our daughter in London. The only reason I didn't give it five stars is because it was somewhat pricey with dollars vs. pounds. I would recommend this bakery for any American who has someone overseas in London and needs a cake for a special occasion.

The brioche was thick and fluffy and there was a good assortment of fresh fruits on the side. I believe it was around 12.50 GBP, which is not bad. I also got an apple juice (4.50 GBP), which tasted like it was freshly squeezed although slightly on the tart side. The interior has a cozy, bustling vibe. I was able to find a table without much of a wait, although it was a bit busy on a weekend afternoon. The staff are average friendliness and you order/pay up at the counter even if you're dining in (they bring the food to you though if you're ordering from the brunch menu). Overall, Exmouth Coffee Company is a very solid option whether you're looking for a breakfast, brunch, or snack/drink.

The barista and coffee shop staff were so patient and nice - especially when I inquired about ingredients in the pastries and asked to have my Spinach Ricotta Roll heated. Overall it was a great experience - good food, good coffee, and exceptional service. Food-wise: we got a spinach ricotta roll and a custard croissant - and loved both. The spinach ricotta roll was a perfect combination of your comfort hot breakfast with egg + spinach + cheese, plus the flaky buttery outer-layer of a croissant. There was also a bit of spicy kick to it - which I loved! Remember to ask for it to be heated. The custard-filled croissant was also heavenly creamy, with the buttery outer-layer of a croissant, this can be enjoyed at room temperature. Drink-wise: we got a Americano and a flatwhite, which were both really good and hot - definitely woke us up for the early morning / jetlag, which helped prep us for day! They also had some nice tables inside the coffee shop to sit and enjoy your food - so it's also a great place to bring your laptops to. Overall - nothing helps more to start a great morning like a great breakfast, and I think this place had the magic that turned our cloudy morning into a great sunny day - would definitely revisit when I'm back in the UK!
