Lifesaver cafeAh, this place is soooo nice. Friendly staff (who even suggested I come back later to pay when I didn't have the correct change), healthy and not-so-healthy-but-ever-so-nice food, and you have all the ingredients for a perfect hangover cure. Their bacon and egg sandwich is a revelation, and a perfect example of their art.

Now if they only started making Bloody Mary's then we'd have a little slice of heaven, just off Brick Lane...]]> Fri, 17 Oct 2008 15:37:07 +0000 /review/uk/london/cafe/1i96773/yummy-s-cafe1363790104 barbd lively quick bite 51.523628 -0.069081 Gourmet San http://trustedplaces.com/review/uk/london/restaurant/1933k88/gourmet-san

Lots to eat as well so you'll leave feeling happy.

Smashing place for Saturday brunch or dinner. Nice decor and friendly staff...they do a mean cocktail too.

Quite hard to find, and it's a bit of a trek to get there but once you're there it's fab...]]> Wed, 30 Jul 2008 16:20:48 +0000 /review/uk/london/restaurant/1c94c7l/bistrotheque758697435 barbd 51.53391 -0.057112 Loungelover http://trustedplaces.com/review/uk/london/bar-pub/1f46f6i/loungelover

Heart-rousingly good coffeeRecently moved in a couple of doors down, and I'm liking having this place as the closest cafe. Friendly, fun and vibey in the morning - and one of the nicest cappucinos around.

Helps start the day, the right way...]]> Wed, 18 Jun 2008 09:38:21 +0000 /review/uk/london/cafe/1u82d7d/coffee-at-brick-lane645934287 barbd lively amazing brew 51.521000297776 -0.071416776913342
