Tania's Of Hampstead

Cafe

👍 You’d need to seek this out in the shambly Antique and Craft Emporium alleyway. Quirky, enterprising family business that ploughs its furrow with its own inimitable “concoctions”, and a range of ancillary artisanal products that deviate from the commonplace. The coffee is flavoursome, robust and hig...

Hermione was responsive, even after I had received my order, but the experience left me disappointed and compelled me to leave a review. To preface this, I’m not a baker and I have little/no experience...
