Having strolled around the vintage shops of Kingly Court, what better way to finish off your spree than with coffee and cake? C'est ici is on the bottom floor of Kingly Court. My friend and I only went to the "cafe" section, so can't really comment on the rest of the place.
It seems to be a bit of an odd mix. The name is French, the restaurant food seems to be Greek, or at least Mediterranean, whilst the coffee and cakes are not of this earth- I've never had such a succulent carrot cake in my life! I can also highly recommend the small chocolate treats they do. These cakes are so good that even if your cat had died, a small man with a beard had tried to touch you and Jade Goody was marrying into your family, you'd still be remarkably content and happy whilst eating them...

The coffee was also of a remarkably high standard fairly traded too, which is good.
The dcor was fairly traditional, all clean lines and woody textures nothing special. It's only failing, as with many coffee shops that try to be bars and restaurants was the music. Who wants to listen to bad European euphoric dance whilst trying to enjoy a coffee? When the CD finished, the owner got disgruntled and annoyed, whilst I think most of the customers and the rest of the staff were relieved.
Overall, a rather lovely place good for popping into for a quick coffee and cake post-shop, but I don't think I'd enjoy spending an evening there unless the food is as good as the cakes!
