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.

First, the coffee. My espresso was wonderfully dark and strong while maintaining a smooth flavoursome overall profile in a machiatto which, for once, did not come served with far too much milk. At the moment they are using a home machine while they get themselves set up but that has not impacted the quality of brew. A proper machine should arrive next week. Second, the staff. Super friendly and helpful - I was given recommendations for places to visit in Leeds (my second home) and are generally good natured and a pleasure to talk to. Third, the location. Just outside the north side of King's Cross. Just to spot for a quick post/pre train journey brew. In short. Pretty much perfect.

Fast forward 10 minutes and we are served what may have been the best Carbonara I have ever enjoyed in my long and miserable life. No cream, no peas, just fresh eggs, crisp bacon and cheese. 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.

But the pancakes were dense and dry. They needed more sauce. They were served with maple syrup on the side, but the maple syrup completely overcame the biscoff sauce. So that was just confusing. The hashbrowns were not worth it. There was a nice ball of butter served on top of the pancakes, but the butter just stayed in s ball on top instead of melting and running down the pancakes. And working the butter around would have been impossible on the little plate... My friend was not impressed with her meal either. It's too bad really because the welcome and service were really very nice.

This place is a cute, clean shop that attracted me with their claims of having the best cinnamon buns. There are no tables inside the small space, so you sit on courtyard tables. The chai latte was very good. That combination of black tea or chai syrup, warming spices, a hint of sweetness, and extra frothy milk. The cinnamon bun was good, but it was more like a thick consistently doughy pastry with cinnamon. Not the harder on the outside pastry with an extra moist inside layer. Though, maybe my taste buds for that pastry has been forever ruined by too many mall / airport Cinnabons.
