Without a doubt one of the best cafés that I have seen in London.
My friend and I were walking from Clerkenwell to the Royal Wedding, quite early in the morning, and we had our sights set on something along the lines of a Costa or Starbuck's for our morning boost. How fortunate we were to find Par!
The staff consisted of a single late middle-aged man (who I believe was the proprietor) who provided some of the friendliest and most memorable service I have ever experienced anywhere. After several minutes of asking my friend and I where we were from, how we ended up in London, etc, we finally got our coffee and orange juice. The coffee was above reproach, the orange juice had a few too many bits for my liking, though.
I can't wait to go back! read more
