I love this place. The gelato is stand-out excellent, beautifully rich but not too heavy. A place to treasure.I love this place. The gelato is stand-out excellent, beautifully rich but not too heavy. A place to treasure.

A great place for interesting sandwiches. The main draw is their spit roast chickens, which they sell in baguettes (half a chicken!) or with salad. Most people seem to buy take-out - the eating area is very small: cosy and relaxed during quiet times but cramped and a little stressful when busy.A great place for interesting sandwiches.

Monmouth is two beasts in one - they sell really expensive ground coffee and fancy expensive chocolates and apple juices on one hand, but they also do the greatest Americano for only Â£1!

Add a homemade American-style chocolate biscuit for 50p and you're actually looking at change from Â£2!

It's a small place and can get busy with only a few customers, but it's hands down the best and cheapest place to get a decent cuppa on the go.

If you want ground coffee, you'll be looking at around Â£5 for 1/2 pound.Monmouth is two beasts in one - they sell really expensive ground coffee and fancy expensive chocolates and apple juices on one hand, but they also do the greatest Americano for only Â£1!

Been hearing about Paul Boulangerie & Pattiserie for ages. I finally went to one of the chain (Covent Garden) in the hunt for THE croissant place in London. You see, I'm quite a croissant connoisseur. I had a pain au chocolat. It was slightly disappointing. It was a bit stale and dry, perhaps it was towards the end of the day. But the display of various flans, cakes, tarts, claufouti and sweets sure look delicious!

First of all a few disclaimers, I am not a tea drinker (I love coffee), and I go the Tea House a few times a year to buy the tea for my mom when I go back to Paris.

I like this place a lot as most places in London where you get your tea is from chains like Whittards. As soon as you enter The Tea House you feel as though you've entered this little Asian microcosm. The tea they stock isn't exclusively Asian but they do carry a large amount of tea from this part of the world.

Most of their customers at the moment seem to be tourists, which is obvious due to their central location in Covent Garden. They do have a local group of recurrent customers who come to the Tea House due to the friendliness of their staff, knowledge, but of course their huge choice in tea.

If you are a tea aficionado, or not, and are looking for this unique tea or just for high quality tea you should definitely check out the Tea House.
