It is difficult to miss this cafe on Beckenham High Street! It always seems to be buzzing with customers. There is outdoor seating, but also quite a bit of indoor seating... it goes back for ages. The back part of the cafe has a seating with a play area for children. So definitely a family friendly spot.
The staff were too busy to seat us, so we grabbed a couple of menus and found our own table. The problem is that there are three different types of menus and we only grabbed two... the main menu and the drink menu. We missed the breakfast menu and based on what we saw, that was probably a mistake. We just assumed that the menu had changed over, but now we know for next time.
They have a good selection...something for everyone! I chose the Chicken and Halloumi Salad while Mr. Snarky went for a chicken wrap. I was surprised that Mr. Snarky didn't order a milkshake or a smoothie, but we saw a lot of them and they are impressive! My salad was massive and came with some pitta bread on the side. The only criticism about the salad was that there wasn't much dressing on it. Perhaps they could bring vinegar and oil to the table or put the dressing on the side so it isn't all at the bottom of the bowl.
Mr. Snarky wasn't very impressed with his wrap, but did like the fries. To be honest, I'm not entirely surprised, hummus is not really is thing, but I'm glad he gave it a try. My peach iced tea really hit the spot though. The only other issue with our visit is that there was some sort of repair being made and there was a lot noise from the vacuum. Otherwise, I think we will be back to try breakfast some time! read more
