Hooray - a new venue for great coffee in Soho within walking distance of my office. I only noticed
Foxcroft & Ginger today but apparently these guys have been open for a couple of weeks (check out their
website). First impressions were good - the place looks funky but welcoming, there is a great display of cupcakes, scones, brownies and sandwiches to greet you and a friendly Aussie behind the behemoth of a coffee machine. What more can you ask for? They are still waiting on their cups so I got my flat white in a glass, but taste wise it was great - strong coffee, nicely steamed milk, familiar Monmouth taste (although less familiar these days - as cafes defect to Square Mile beans). Because I am weak and I have a legendary sweet tooth, I also had a carrot-cake cupcake - which was sensational. With carrot cake it's all about the cream cheese icing and this example was textbook. I realy like this place and I will definitely be back - you should go and check it out. I love making a new addition to my
Central London Coffee Survival Guide Map.

My love of carrot cake is profound. Wish I had tried it there! Glad to see we are in to the same kind of places.
ReplyDeleteI want to revisit Bea's next as when I went there we had a profoundly bad service experience which seems (from everybody else's love of it) a once off.
must agree, the coffee was fantastic, the fit out very well done... and the company not bad either!
ReplyDeleteI rate this place too - up there with the other coffee big guns in the golden coffee square mile of Soho.
