Great spot for a bite to eat and a half decent cuppa (only half decent because you get a cup of hot water and a tea bag. One of my pet hates. How is the tea supposed to "brew" when the water is not boiling. But they did have a decent Earl Grey so not all bad).

Anyway, food was lovely - had some smashing toasted sourdough piled high with mushrooms and pesto. Scrummy.

Weird toilet arrangements, though!

Terrible. Only one type of tea!

Cafe Brew 19th February 2008

I read the last reviewers comments and can't really believe he can judge a cafe on one cup of tea. It brew as in a brew of coffee. You know what the brittish would drink in coffee houses before the tax and the sad reduction to tea as a substitute.

I'm a regular at brew and when you time it right there coffee is sublime. Also all there food is fresh and home made. A real change from boxed sandwhiches and the catered cafe.

Having not been out of the house all day I decided a trip to the Northcotte Road was a good idea. Fed up of drinking tea in the Towers, I wondered into Brew to have a nice pot of speciality tea.

I asked for a pot of Assam and was disappointed that they hadn't even heard of it. Builders it was then. Which was fine if a little bit unexciting. I was keen to have something that we don't have at home.

I enjoyed my tea whilst reading my new Anthony Bourdain book, intermittently writing a Christmas list to make sure I've got all the bases covered this year. I felt like I was being watched the whole time... maybe it's paranoia... maybe it was the fact that the place wasn't very busy. It didn't make me want to linger and chill out like the best tea shops do. And they didn't offer me any cakes or flapjacks so I decided to leave and get some on the way home from the market.
