A coffee bar mixed with a sweet shop, could life get any better?
Considering within a five minute walk of here there's probably around 3 Prets, 2 Starbucks, a Costa and a Nero, it must take something pretty special to make me go there more than anywhere else.
One key reason why it has is that Coffee & Candy use Caravan coffee. For me, the battle for best coffee served in London is fought between Caravan and Monmouth. Plus with every drink you have in they give you a cute amaretti biscuit. And if you have a sweet tooth, or are just nostalgic, there's all the sweets you'd expect in an old sweet shop nestled just behind the bar. It's almost like they're bribing me at this point
It's also pretty cheap, especially if you're a student (they have a great discount - less than £2 for a large latte, yes please!). Plus the staff are always really courteous and friendly.
I find it really useful that it is always quiet in there. Every single time I've been in there I've been able to get a table. I may be slightly threatening that by reviewing this place... please don't all flock in at once, take turns! read more
