Chanced upon this place via Yelp when I was in London over the weekend and was staying near Collier…read morestreet. It's an authentic, quaint little place with lots of cool vintagey memorabilia. Barista (nice lady!) is friendly in a non-overly chatty sort of way (which is great when you're not caffeinated in the morning), just amazing. Clearly she has a rapport going with the regulars, which is great to watch. Food is good, nothing fancy but I like it like that. I'm no coffee connoisseur, but I think coffee is fantastically made. With nice coffee art and all. After submitting this review, I'll probably get another coffee!

Depending on the time of day, the queue can be long, so patience is needed. This isn't a spot to sit and enjoy your coffee. You're there to grab your caffeinated fix and be on your way. We had a long day of sightseeing and walking about Central London, so the iced Americano came in handy for me at Black Sheep. Being an American, it's always a slight adjustment. Serving coffee drinks with ice, like those at Starbucks back home, is not a thing. And cold brew is not as prevalent, if at all, at some spots like it is in the States. But Black Sheep produces good coffee and their Americano hit the spot before I set off on our adventures.

My favorite are the blondies - chewy, crumbly, and not too sweet if paired with a black coffee. The first time I stumbled upon this cafe, it was admitted the color mosaic stair fronts along many doorways on Tavistock Street that caught my eye. Bloomsbury Coffee House is actually downstairs, below street level. There is probably two tables in the outdoor downstairs. There is more seating indoors that spans two rooms. Overall, how would I describe the ambiance? Sweet and cozy. Perfect for discussing schoolwork over a cuppa.

I was pleased that they had cold brew available. I enjoyed a cold brew with cherry foam that helped perk me up and kept me from falling into deep coma. The location is small and narrow. They do have counter seating overlooking Marylebone Road with traffic bustling at all hours. The queue tends to be manageable depending on the time of day. Our drink orders were done quickly where we had ours within a couple of minutes. The baristas were friendly and patient as we determined on our orders, so all in and all we were pleased.

For your sake, just order it. Now. Then, I was served Sagne Ricce alla Bolognese. This dish consists of an irregular shaped pasta served in an amazing Beef Ragu. I was in pasta heaven. The service was friendly and efficient, the prices (considering the top quality) were very reasonable. My stomach is growling as I write this review and I honestly cannot wait to return to Casa Tua.

The service was uninviting and surprisingly rude when we asked about the coffee roast and the morning special- buy a pastry and receive a cold brew. One small example, I had already ordered a pastry but the main hostess denied that I should receive a free cold brew. The main issue though was "tone" and "unfriendliness". The espresso and pastry were good, not great. As we know, customer experience is everything and Redemption missed by not understanding that.
