Omg, cutest little bookshop and teahouse! Good collection of tea service, not just British, but Chinese style with the very small teapots that are refilled multiple times to taste the tea as it matures in steeping, and the draining box. I had a floral European tea, so it came in a European style teapot, pot of water, cup and saucer. Ted had a cookie and he eated it too.
London Review Cake Shop (Bloomsbury) Going on the recommendation of Phil and some of his breakfast club friends, we checked out Princi in Soho for its pastries. We got the millefoglie mixed berries slice and a cannaolicini to share.
The ambiance is hip and contemporary: a large open space with rows upon rows of baked goods spanning the length of the restaurant under a glass table. People can work their way down the line, picking out items while the staff behind the table collect them together on a plate or box. It’s communal style dining, with long tables. Groups naturally sit across from each other, and wall is lined with a countertop. Surrounding all this is a longer trough-like water feature with a gentle cascade bubbling out of copper taps. It turns the dining experience into a little zen space – which is a blessed bit of calculated calm when London outside keeps bustling along and even the restaurant itself might be very busy.
Bonus: free wifi! Princi (Soho / West End) |
