The Attendant

What: The Attendant

Where: Goodge St

Value: £6pp

Food Review: The coffee is simply yet perfrectly made and tge perfext rrmedy for a cold dreary afternoon. To add the personal touch, it is topped with a pretty pattern and also a substitution for almond milk. The gooey chocolatly brownie has just been baked so its breakable texture is hard to pick up but it was emtremly indulgent and boardaline sickly, so proberbly recommended for sharing.

Settings Review: Upon entrance from the street is a gated area around a staircase, leading into a dark pit. Once entering you see the dark pit is actually lit up and is a charming but rustic cellar. The first thing you see is a quirky bar with various knink knacs surrounding the walls such as a graffitti board. Originally a toilet, it has kept some of its original features such as handriers and cubicle style seating.

Positives: nice coffee, indulgent chocolate brownie

Negatives: small, not a lot of space

3 words: unusual, quirky, independent

Cafe Vergnano



What: Café/Restaurant
Where: near Southbank
Value: £4 for a hot chocolate
Food Review: A seemingly normal cafe with a wide range of cakes and pasteries on offer and selection of great coffees. Food is available and for this, there is plenty of seating. However, this is not the reason to go there. The hot chocolate consists of a silky smooth texture which is not only available in pure but also in half and half for those who like less decadence. This pure hot chocolate is not for the faint hearted and can a meal in itself, but totally worth it.
Settings Review: In summer, seating is available outside, but in winter it does get a little cramped although this does add to the cosy atmosphere
Positive: best hot chocolate
Negative: gets busy on weekends, but worth the wait
3 words: silky, smooth, luxurious
