Lots of bacon in a toasted-to-order roll. Hits the spot. Raspberry Bunny: Almost too cute to eat, almost. Nice glaze against what tastes like luxurious brioche. The raspberry flavor isn't too strong though, just where the few red bits are. Mixed Berry Bun: Seemed like a hybrid between a cinnamon bun and a danish. Had a sweet cheese glob in the center in the middle of all the cinnamon rings. Some nice fruit in the mix. Much more exciting than a normal morning bun. Brownie: Very dense and very rich. Had a gooey center. Pretty intense for breakfast, but you can save some for later in the afternoon for a pick me up.

My friend got the fruit cup and a mango pineapple smoothie, top marks from him. They offer free cucumber infused water which is nice when you're dashing about sight seeing.

I want to sit and smoke a pipe in here while solving great mysteries (which, if you can't deduce,…read moreis a complete and utter compliment). Strumpets is the newest addition to an already packed West End roster of coffee shops - so much so, that it sits directly next to another cafe. I'm not sure how that will bode for their future, but it gave me a giggle nonetheless. I've been off the ol' coffee lately, so when we popped our heads in here, I opted for orange juice. Pricy for the bottle, but unlike my recent grumble about cafes charging £3+ for standard tropicana, the fare offered here is on the higher end of the juice scale and seems a little more justified in its crazy price tag. Regardless, I would happily throw down £3 again to sit in their ridiculously adorable back room! With ornate chairs, a pretty little window seat and well picked antiques - it's like stepping into a lady Sherlock's study. I'm a BIG fan. It's TINY - three spaces to sit, all of them no more than two chairs - but on a quiet day, it would be a great place to work from... it positively screams world domination! However, if it's a bit cramped, they do have one slightly larger table out front. The owner is super cheerful and the baked goods look interesting. They do crumpets on Sundays, which is a nice touch and duly noted, as it's an easy stop on the way home for me. I'm nervous for this place, because I'm not sure it has the oomph to keep up with some of the big gun cafes now residing in the West End, but I hope i'm wrong - because this little spot wins on charm alone.

Most of the items on the menu serves sandwiches, wraps, and breakfast; but it was the Chiang Mai Noodles with Roast Chicken (£7.75) that caught my eye. The dish came with a small chopped Asian salad and a bowl of stir-fried noodles with soy beans, lime, spring onions, and crispy shallots. Although the noodles were tasty, the flavors were a bit too overpowering. I definitely needed to rinse myself with a few glasses of water from the saltiness of the noodles. Cute spot if you're looking for a quick morning or afternoon bite, but that's all.

Great tea, great food!…read more I don't know how she does it, she is a one-woman shop that makes all tea and food to order. I had the masala chai, which is slowly cooked on the stove along with a full English breakfast. It is a small shop, only a couple of tables, though if she had more space, she would have to hire help! Everything was great, I was unable to finish my food but was able to finish my chai. She serves it with a strainer to get the finer bits of spice out of the final product. Completely worth the experience.

The cookie pie was impressive, but I honestly liked the roulade so much better. The soup today was broccoli and it was delicious! I had a ham and cheese sandwich lightly grilled in a panini press. Mom had a chorizo sandwich. The ladies at the bakery were lovely! Friendly happy folk always make food taste better! The bakery was quiet and not busy at 12:30 pm. It wasn't empty, just not busy. We got a table for 3! It was funny (and also a sad commentary on humans) that the still water available said "Please turn the tap off." Silly people. Thank you so much for a wonderful lunch!
