The brioche was thick and fluffy and there was a good assortment of fresh fruits on the side. I believe it was around 12.50 GBP, which is not bad. I also got an apple juice (4.50 GBP), which tasted like it was freshly squeezed although slightly on the tart side. The interior has a cozy, bustling vibe. I was able to find a table without much of a wait, although it was a bit busy on a weekend afternoon. The staff are average friendliness and you order/pay up at the counter even if you're dining in (they bring the food to you though if you're ordering from the brunch menu). Overall, Exmouth Coffee Company is a very solid option whether you're looking for a breakfast, brunch, or snack/drink.

Tip: The pain au chocolat and quiche lorraine are yummy…read more It has been great looking at photos of my trip to London in December 2013, and discovering whether the places that I frequented are still alive and kicking. The Paul near the hotel where I stayed is one of these places. I haven't changed. I loved a bakery then and I still seek out one when I'm travelling. I loved visiting this cafe. My hotel stay didn't include breakfast. Frankly, there wasn't a place to have some at the hotel itself. Instead, I bought breakfast items to my room to enjoy. I went to this cafe and got these items: - Pain au chocolat - Quiche lorraine - Red velvet macaron I paid with a credit card. I remember staff being super friendly and nice. I got my items in a couple of branded paper bags. I brought them to my hotel room to devour. The pain au chocolat was delicious. It was flaky and the dark chocolate was there in every bite. The quiche lorraine was enjoyable. It had the perfect ratio of eggs to cheese, bacon, and onions. The crust was yummy and held everything together. Both items tasted fresh. They were warm when I ate them at my hotel room. I went back to get a red velvet macaron. It felt fancy having it in its own box. It was divine! I'm glad that this cafe still exists. It's awesome.

Today I decide to take in Sweet, a boulangerie & patisserie in Exmouth Market. I have walked past…read moreSweet for at least a year and often admired the pastries, but just never had the time to go in. Today I made the time. When I entered Sweet I was greeted by the staff and quickly took in a few silver tables and several wooden tables with stools. I ordered a goat cheese pastry puff and cappuccino. I was a bit annoyed that rather than ring me up, allow me to sit down and bring me my cappuccino, I was made to stand and wait until my drink order was finished. As I sat down, there was a mini rush. I was glad to have a seat because Sweet wasn't meant to hold a large crowd. The goat cheese puff was good; with each bit I could taste the goat cheese, meaning there was lots of goat cheese, yummy. The puff also had large tomatoes and a bit of basil, which added a nice flavor. The crust was light and flaky and I am sure I would have enjoyed the puff even more if it had been served warm. The cappuccino was also very good, but had a bit too much foam and not enough liquid for my taste. I like just a bit of foam and lots of liquid, next time I will request it that way. Overall Sweet was not bad, I would visit again, but doubt that I'd make it my regular boulangerie.

My fiancé and I recently travelled to London and visited the bakery on the 22nd. We had the most…read morewonderful experience! The Italian lady who worked at the bakery made my day, she definitely made my 2024 Christmas extremely special! She was incredibly friendly and took the time to explain the different types of sourdough bread, printing out nutrition value sheets and packaging them nicely (because we told her we were going to freeze the bread and enjoy them when we got back home to New York). You can absolutely tell she truly cared about their customers. The sourdough bread itself was outstanding: perfectly crusty on the outside and soft and airy on the inside (we got both the sourdough bread and the rosemary and potato sourdough bread). If you're in the area, definitely stop by! Great service, ambience and excellent sourdough bread:)

So I'm gonna be totally honest - I love this little coffee shop/café. I mean - I really really love…read moreit! Reasons: Delicious selection of drinks, salads, sandwiches, bread types and cakes. Including fruit and crisps. I happened upon here on one of my lunchtime walks and picked up a smoked salmon with cream cheese and rocket on onion bread. I took it to my office and oh my - it was so good. I went back a week later, then the next week where I also picked up a brownie - which is now in my top ten of brownies (I have a top ten - one or two my be my own creation!). So I told my boyfriend and we decided to drive there one Saturday (from Kent...!). I had the same, he had a chicken and mango salad on a seeded roll. We both had that brownie and a slice of pineapple cake. Yup - still amazing. I just love it. Really friendly ladies behind the counter, everything is fresh and you see it put together in front you. Cakes are a mixture of brought in and made, but they have done extensive tasting on the brought in cakes. There are plenty of salad and sandwich options - oh, they also serve breakfast. They will adapt something to your tastes. Love it!

Across from the Whitechapel Gallery you'll find this adorable newly opened cafe. I have literally…read morewalked past here a thousand times as it's conveniently located a few feet from one entrance to Aldgate East station. Today I finally stopped in. The menu is huge, the blackboard spans the whole length of the wall with various breakfast and lunch options, especially sandwiches and wraps. The drinks menu is small and limited to a corner on the left side which tells me this is more of a place to eat than to drink. There is only one grinder with no label of where the beans are from, further indicating this is not trying to be an artisan coffee shop. The brownies they have on the counter look so tempeting but since my mission was to try their coffee I just order a flat white. There are two large tables in the back of the cafe and they offer free wifi (password is on the blackboard under the menu). With tons of space to spread out, this seems like it would be a great spot to work while having lunch. Since I live so close and pass by this place everyday I had high hopes it would become my new spot to grab coffee on my way to work. Though I may not be coming here for the coffee, I will come back for their pasteries. Judging from their facebook page they seem to rotate their selection of baked goods and all of them look delicious.
