    Found this little hidden gem up a side street, great service, unreal interior and food to match. Prices were displayed on the outside so went in for Ice Tea and Almond Croissant. There was a choice between Peach and Raspberry so went for the traditional peach and was not disappointed. The main event was definitely the Almond Croissant, sized more like a pasty and just delicious. Definitely a highlight of Central London!

    Came across this little gem just right next to Leicester Square. The staff was very friendly and helpful, and the mixed berry tarts were heaveeeen. The atmosphere was cozy and the decor was very artsy and vintage. Perfect for a chat with friends or working.

    Went here while on vacation in London. Grabbed 2 lattes with my fiancée. The service was great. drinks were better. Pastries were the best! Only complaint I have is that we didn’t find it until our last day! If you are staying in Leicester square it is a must! I would go there every day

    My favorite place in central London. For such a price, one of the highest quality coffees I have never seen anywhere. Every morning there is a delicious smell of baking from the kitchen. I come there sometimes to work with my laptop, and they asked me if I needed water after 1 hour of my stay there. Like cookie! 100 out of 10!

    One of the best patisserie I’ve visited in London. All is freshly backed and delicious. Extremely friendly staff! Good range of vegetarian milk. Also they serve Matcha Latte. If you be there, try it with croissant.

    Walked pass yesterday and can’t help but come back today. Love the french deco, it’s a little cafe with limited tables and seats. Friendly staff, relaxing music and tasty pastries and croissant sandwiches.

    This was the best smoked salmon croissant I’ve had in my life. I wanted to take it to the park for lunch but finished it before I got there.

    I stopped by to work from there for a couple of hours. The place has wifi and charging plugs. It's very tiny, maybe 10 seats overall. Good was really nice and I loved the design

    It was quiet when we came in for brunch late on a Friday morning, but we welcomed the peace. Delicious food. Thank you!

    Walked in to a small cafe for a quick nibble. Grabbed the scones, the raisin role and the orange cake. Best decision ever. Still licking my fingers at that was an hour ago. Great job folks.....loved it

    Really nice place to make short stop and get some snacks. They have bagels, croissants and some sweets - and a couple of soups. Small, but pretty cute

    Found out this little hidden gem by the accident and loved it. The retro atmosphere here is amazing. We had coffee, tea and bagels, there were really nice.
