    The Perfect Coffee Shop

    I was surprised that no one had reviewed this before. It is simply the ultimate coffee shop, in my opinion. It does and has everything a coffee shop should have.

    One of the great attractions, aside from it being situated in one of the most famous bookshops in London, is music. It is attached to a music shop that has such a fantastic selection of music i start to salivate just thinking about it. It used to be called Ray's Jazz Cafe, but it got absorbed into Foyles and I don't think it is any more (to be honest, I'm not sure...). Frankly, it's name is not important - the important thing is that they also have live events - normally during the late afternoon/early evening - perfect for when you've finished work and fancy getting a coffee with friends. I've heard some incredible things there - often by people I've never heard of, but it's always interesting - and frequently challenging. I've heard a man with a trombone play a incredibly intentse 20minute track which, as i remember, seemed to involve a lot of notes you wouldn't normally find on a piano. And this was at 5pm in the afternoon one thursday!

    The staff and lovely, and there's a fantastic mix of people there. It goes without saying that the coffee is superb - there's one guy with dreadlocks that'll make you a cappuccino to die for... It's really that expensive either and with a nice selection of cakes and other items to eat - most of it homemade - you're not going to get hungry.

    Also, there's free wifi which seems fairly reliable when I've used it.

    If you like interesting music, good coffee and a lovely atmosphere, give this place a try. You won't be disappointed.
