    The only thing I want to add is that the caipirinhas are really tasty aswell! I actually preferred them to the mojitos I think.

    Lively Exmouth Market Bar

    There's not much more I can add that hasn't already been said about Café Kick. It is a lively, vibrant place, with friendly staff. A fairly narrow space, with table football at the front, and crowded tables to the side and rear.

    The mojitos are moreish, the food I tried was tasty and the atmosphere is great. Come with a small group of friends and eat, drink and be merry. Oh, and play some foosball if that's your thing.

    Score ! For your kicks
    Current
    More than it name suggests as just a 'cafe', Cafe Kick kicks arse!

    Best of all the cocktails are the mojito's, that whilst against the grain of the traditional Cuban recipe of dark sugar, are a wonderful mix of fresh lime, mint, rum and white sugar - shaken in a mixology that is worthy of Mr Cruise in Cocktail himself. No scrub that, these are better!

    Plus there's an array of foosball tables to score against and tackle those post work debates. A great change to the 'bored'rooms of the traditional pub / cafe setting.

    Put a request in for the tapas inspired menu - and you'll be fed and watered for the evening too!

    But more than all these factors the friendly staff and great mix of clientale should encourage to seek out this little gem - trendy, but not for trendy's sake, fun a little bit sophisticated and more than a convivial, diverting, enjoyable, entertaining, lively and merry atmosphere!

    In fact why are you still reading this?, you could be there now! :)

    Brilliant drinks shame about the toilets!
    Current
    Brilliant cocktails (even the virgin moijitoes are amazing!) and the shots are brilliant. The staff are cute (well the men for me) and very friendly always with a smile on your face so you dont mind waiting a while for your cocktail to be made. The atmosphere is like a student bar with fusball tables and tv screens (very imp if watching the rugby).

    The only let down is the toilets which were after a while really disgusting. When the toilet roll runs out dont use the toilets. And if you are a woman in no case, even if desperate, should you venture into the mans toilet (unless you are very very drunk).

    Otherwise great place! :)

    A flavour of Cafe Kick's evening atmosphere...
    Current
    So given the number of reviews Cafe Kick has already had it's clear that it's a favourite with TP members and with good reason. Very chilled, amazingly friendly, marvellous mojitos, terrific tapas and crazy colours.

    Slap bang in the middle of Exmouth Market, it feels like being on holiday - perfect for winding down after a hard day chained to a PC.

    But don't just take my word for it, check out the video to see what Jonathan and Walid have to say in their own inimitable style...

    This was one of our stops on a tour we did of Exmouth Market recently. The space itself is small but deceptively spacious for people to stand around and socialize with their friends or play a couple of games of table football, which the bar pays homage to in its name.

    Fittingly, it reminds me of a pan-Mediterranean social club with their small but tasty selection of sandwiches and bar snacks, and the very congenial atmosphere lent to the bar by the displays of football memorabilia, national flags painted on the floor.

    Not only is the concept of the bar very good, but the finishing touches really make a difference, such as the drinks list printed on a menu made to look like a child's notebook. The food is fresh and very good, and the cocktail list is expansive and they are excellent, prepared with a flourish by knowledgeable, happy bartenders.

    True Mediterranean Bar
    Current
    Whenever I feel a bit homesick and want to reconnect with a Latin / Mediterranean atmosphere I go to Cafe Kick. So what is that little "je ne sais quoi" Mediterranean atmosphere. Is it the drinks? Is it the people? Is it how the place is decorated? Is it the staff? Well to be honest it's a mixture of all of these. The drinks are great, it's a variety of cocktails with the Mojito being their best selling one. The people at Cafe Kick are from Portugal and France. They are friendly and easy to kick start a conversation, best of all they remember you the next time you come in (how many times do you have that in London?)... in addition one of the girls who works there is really cute ;-) The place's decoration, is quite similar to Mediterranean bars you have in Europe, with its pictures of previous events, previous customers and of course famous football players. They also have flags of numerous football playing countries on the wooden floor.

    Last but not least this is an awesome place because of its table footballs where you can play a nice game or two with friends or just some of the other clientele.

    All in all if you're looking for a place where you can feel comfortable having a drink on your own where you can talk with the friendly staff or other customers... or a place where you want to chill out with your friends, drink some Mojitos and play a great game of football then Cafe Kick is your place!
