And lots of delicious bakery options. Not a lot of interaction with staff (very corporate London vibe although decorated like a cozy French bakery), just order at the front. Although their baked goods seemed great, I'm not sure I'll come back except to pick up baked goods if around the area, definitely not when it's dark out.

This morning, I strolled down Bermondsey Street for a Cold Brew when I noticed gorgeous pastries in the window at @comptoir_bakery . After re-fueling with caffeine, I returned to Comptoir and noticed that they had tasty looking Sausage Rolls, which are on my London Food Bingo Card. A Sausage Roll consists of seasoned sausage, surrounded by layers of puff pastry, baked until golden brown. Comptoir's had light and dark sesames on top. I often prefer savory pastries, and this still warm Sausage Roll was the perfect mix of seasoned sausage and satisfying flaky pastry shell. I don't know if I'll have other Sausage Rolls while I'm in London, but this one sets a high standard. My family is still asleep and haven't tried the other pastries and donuts I bought, but they look amazing. I had a sliver of chocolate pastry and it was delicious and flaky. Service was top rate too. If you find yourself in London, @comptoir_bakery on Bermondsey has my high recommendation.

The newest location for Euphorium Bakery is probably the most unique. Located in the basement of…read morethe Thomas Neal Center in the Seven Dials area of Covent Garden, there is almost something American about the food-court feel of this indoor shopping center. With a (currently unmarked) entrance on Shorts Gardens and access through the Thomas Neal Center entrance off of Earlham Street, this location of Euphorium Bakery is a bit hidden - but once you find it, HEAVEN. From loaves of bread, to pizza, to the usual delicious elcairs and tarts you've come to expect from Euphorium, this location may look differnent from the others, but the treats taste just the same. Plus, there is free WiFi, people. Cake? Coffee? Pizza? Free WiFi? WHAT MORE COULD YOU POSSIBLE ASK FOR? (Well, there's probably a lot more you could ask for, such as marshmallows and fairy dust in your coffee, but I hear rumours they're working on that...)* *Not really, but we can dream.

I had a pizza and it wasn't so impressive because it was very dry and hard. However, the fruit cupcake there looked so nice. There was a big piece of strawberry and a couple of blueberries. I bought it to try and it was not disappointing at all!. It was so light unlike most heavy-frosted cupcakes. Still, it has that nice moist texture. I personally think it is the best cupcake that I had so far. I would recommend anyone to drop by and have a taste on their cupcake especially, if you like fruity cake. It's worth it.

I like this place because of their variety of pastries and they are all fairly priced. Anything from salty to sweet is available. They have all the standard espresso drinks and complimentary still water. I order the sausage roll along with a large cup of latte. Everything can be reheated in the oven if desired. Within 5 minutes my order was delivered. The latte art was poorly constructed but that wasn't a big deal for me. I'll take a good tasting cup of latte over a bad cup with a beautifully etched leaf on it any day of the week. Free wifi is another plus especially for a tourist without a international SIM card.

There's plenty of seating outside in addition to the ground floor and first floor where there's a quaint and cozy atmosphere. Where this establishment really shines is in its customer service. Everybody on the staff was kind and helpful. We were given plenty reminders to watch out for phone swipers as we sat outside. # Food and Drink English Breakfast Tea I really liked that they provided an extra pitcher of water so we could replenish the tea as we drank it. Plain scone This scone was on the dryer side and the clotted cream was on the thicker side and didn't spread as well, but the overall taste was still good. Ham and Cheese Croissant Even after going to Paris, this is one of the better tasting croissants that I've had. Perhaps I just don't enjoy croissants, but the flavor was good here.

The scones are absolutely the best we've had, the ratio of cream served is PERFECT and the best consistency, and the tea is nice and strong, perfect for a chilly, rainy London afternoon.

There are maybe two tables inside, but I went on that one sunny day in March and there were lots of people sitting outside. I'm not sure about the table situation, but there were definitely chairs or benches involved.

This is a good bet for takeaway coffee, rain (most likely) or shine!

When I visited, I was served by a guy who knew quite a bit about coffee. They get their beans from two different roasters - and I was surprise when he said that one of the roasters is Coffee Plant in Notting Hill, because I did not know that they are a roastery, I just knew them as a coffee shop. The flat white I had there was quite strong and I would say a little bit bitter, Italian style coffee - it was okay for me as a flat white, but I would not have liked it as espresso. Going with the coffee, I had some delicious sweets, something filled with hazelnut cream, really tasty. Unfortunately, they do not have freshly pressed juices, so I went for another coffee and the barista recommended a brew with beans from Costa Rica, single origin. I really liked this cup of coffee. Maida Hill Gallery Cafe might easily be the best coffee shop in the area - at least I do not know other decent coffee shops nearby.

As an American visiting for a few months in shepards bush, I found this place to be quite refreshing among all the rather ethnic restaurants nearby. I've been there three times for lunch and each time the sandwich was awesome. As a creature of habit, I went there the second time wanting the same thing I got the first time as I really liked it, but alas, each visit had a different menu. But I'm happy it did as each sandwich was just as good as the previous one. I'm a huge fan of soft fresh bread and to me it can totally make or break a sandwich. The Deli has served up some of the freshest bread I've tasted. Their banana bread is pretty darn good as well.
