This small café and fine food store has a feminine chic that is just the right side of twee. The look comes from owner’s collection of ’20s- and ’30s-style furniture and crockery – not least the cake stands – plus photographs of silent screen star Betty Blythe and window displays full of birds and blooms. Drop by for leaf tea, coffee or a limited range of bought-in but good sandwiches and cakes such as pasteis de nata, Portuguese custard tarts. We tried a delicious houmous and roasted vegetable wrap which included fresh-tasting roasted carrot, and a free-range egg baguette, which was generously filled. They also sell useful packets and tins, such as Heinz beans (organic) and smart food treats. The slightly crowded, light-filled ground floor shop with its single, large table is a nicer place to sit than the basement.
