New Gem: Reynolds 'Love Grazing'
Comments (0) | Sunday, March 21, 2010
Being proud of my knowledge of coffee shops in my surrounding area in London, it took me quite by surprise when i stumbled upon this little cafe on my way to my usual local for my morning dose of caffeine. Newly opened two months ago, their business is growing weekly and its becoming a hit amongst the students given the cheapish coffee, good lighting, large tables, free wireless internet and its motto of grazing - to eat little portions constantly.
Interior design consists of modern renovations compounded onto a jumbled set of tables and chairs giving it a look of a yard sale. With the large lights and a wall covered with wood panels, they definitely tried to put effort into creating an atmosphere, but somehow, even with the miniature pot plants the cafe gives off a generic atmosphere.
The coffee itself is acceptable. Though the large-ish cup forces the coffee to be diluted with an excess amount of milk. So if you want to have a good strong cup of coffee, order an extra shot - you'll need it. their supplier is Union Coffee, using a Brazilian/Guatamalan blend. I didn't get a chance to try to the food, but they serve snacks to soup for a reasonable price.
It's definitely worth going again, if not to try out the food, then at least its a place conducive to spend a few hours working on an essay or just reading a book.
