Sugardough Brighton

On the beautifully quaint, cobbled streets just behind the bustling seafront, sits Sugardough – a wonderful, independent café serving great little cakes and treats, as well as artisan breads and fantastic coffee and hot chocolate. There is a second Sugardough in nearby Hove. Comfortable seating and stylish, rustic decor topped off with fantastic staff and a…

ChinChin Labs, Camden Market

Exciting, fun cafe in Camden market, London.

Café Rouge

A great chain of French-style restaurants/cafés with reasonably priced good food and drinks, friendly staff, and usually great locations – if it’s a light lunch or brunch you’re looking for, you can’t go wrong with Café Rouge. The particular branch we went to had a fantastic view over the Thames! Price: £2.60 Rating: 8.9 Location: 85…

Vapiano

Great Portland Street Branch Vapiano serves reasonably-priced, good Italian food in an enjoyable environment.

It’s great to go with friends, as, unlike a normal restaurant, each person is given a card, which you tap on a reader…

The Greyhound

Really sweet place off the Green fronted with a living wall and a lovely secret garden in the back. Being about 5 steps away from the river, it’s an amazing place to walk to from Richmond or Barnes. Price: £2.95 Rating: 5.93 Address: 82 Kew Green, Richmond (TW9 3AP) Nearest tube: Kew Gardens (District line…

Benugo Waterloo Station

Now, maintaining an unbiased view towards companies is important when reviewing any product, but South Western Railway are the only train operator to go out of Waterloo, so, let’s face it, there will be delays.  Lots and lots of delays. This cafe is a godsend for the thousands of commuters who have to get home…
