Wow is all i can sa, i came accross this bakery while having a little stroll one afternooon. I must say im very impressed with the gorgreous cakes. Im hungry even thinking about it now.
Prices reasonable considering location. I have recommened a few friends here and they all agree how lush it is.

At the end of an exhausting week at Magellan Labs, I lunched here with an old chum (perhaps my oldest chum), a native North Londoner who is a tip-top lawyer as well as a food and wine expert (and a football fanatic to boot). The Cafe has always been in Regent's Park, at least since the sixties; but as the UK has grown ever more prosperous so its culinary offering has improved. We both had a splendid, steaming hot pea soup (complete with crusty bread) to begin with followed by a gruyere tartlet with a generous helping of salad. More substantial dishes were also on offer. Marine ice cream is served for pudding (a real treat - best ice cream in London). The service was cheerful and obliging and the food good. My chum generously picked up the tab so I cannot offer a view on value for money. What I can say is that whilst the tables and chairs are a bit basic (seventies plastic/formica) and need a makeover, the setting in the centre of London's most beautiful park is simply stunning. On warmer days, you can sit outside which is a real plus. It is only a short walk from Magellan Labs - so I will be back soon.At the end of an exhausting week at Magellan Labs, I lunched here with an old chum (perhaps my oldest chum), a native North Londoner who is a tip-top lawyer as well as a food and wine expert (and a football fanatic to boot).

I followed a friend over to this fabulous dive after finishing a sweaty gig at the Fiddler's Elbow. It was a Sunday night, and we just wanted to find a place that would serve a beer after midnight. The place was packed with characters of every odd stripe. It was a noisy, roiling, vibrant hot spot. It wasn't jazz that night: a fellow resembling a zombie played boogie woogie Elvis tunes on a Gretsch turned up very loud. I had a cold beer, hot fries, and a lump of hash in my pocket. I was so happy I could have died.I followed a friend over to this fabulous dive after finishing a sweaty gig at the Fiddler's Elbow.
