Amazing wee cafe on Queen Margaret Drive owned by the same folks who had Felix and Oscar on Great Western Road before. Really nice, friendly staff, and good coffee. They also have a bunch of hot drink options like matcha latte and FIVE different types of hot chocolate! You can get cardamom, ginger and orange, chilli and cinnamon, white chocolate, or cadbury's. All except the cadburys (obvs) are made with real ground up chocolate and the flavors are natural ingredients infused into the chocolate (no artificial syrups, yay!). Plus they don't charge you extra for decaf OR soy!
It seems to get pretty packed on the weekends and there are only five tables so it can be hard to find a seat on peak sat/sun lunchtimes, but during the week it's a lot quieter and opens up early enough for me to get a coffee on the way to uni.
Food wise they do ALL DAY BREAKFAST :D :D :D (french toast with bacon? yes please), lots of things like poached eggs with black pudding, eggs benedict (called eggs cumberbatch on the menu lolz) breakfast bowls with smoked salmon, bagels, etc. They have gluten free bread AND cakes most of the time for all you non-gluten eaters (no extra charge).
They have different types of croque monsieurs for lunch with homemade bechamel sauce (mmmmmmm bechamellll) and their vegan sweet potato filo pie is delicious, even for a carnivore like me :P.
Cake wise, I'm pretty much addicted to the salted caramel brownies and rarely stray from that choice, but there is always a good selection of things from carrot cake to billionaire's shortbread and bakewell slices (and they're not super expensive either which is so rare in the West End!)
Well worthy of a visit (luckily I get to go there every day as I live just upstairs! :D) read more
