The 2013 edition of The List's Eating & Drinking Guide is out now – only £5.95 (+p&p).
This review is taken from the current (2013) edition.
The couple who run this small café seem to know most of their customers and like to share a joke or two with them, which makes for a nice neighbourhood feel. The inclusion of halal chicken, vegan food and gluten-free dishes among more typical café fare is down to that interaction after regulars made requests, while many ingredients come from the artisan shops a couple of yards away. As well as doing a busy breakfast trade, they serve soups – several varieties changing daily – filling sandwiches, quiches, baked potatoes, toasties and cake, the latter made on the premises. While the small tables downstairs are a little cramped, upstairs there's a more spacious feel with couches and a fine view of bustling Great Western Road.
