Review of Bens Cookies

13 Apr 08, 18:07

Amazing 4*

I was excited to find a Ben's Cookies in London because I thought it was a Leamington only thing where I first discovered it.

This is in the heart of Covent Garden and is often busy. They've got loads of flavours. I like the chocolate ones est but you can get nutty and fruity ones too.

If you buy 6 you get them cheaper but one cookie alone is about £1.50. They are crunchy on the outside but gooey on the inside. Perfection!

Review of Ben's Cookies

Best cookies 5*

This is just outside the shopping centre in Leamington and hard to resist when going back home.

The cookies are quite expensive but they are totally worth it. There's lots of different flavours but they are special because although crispy on the outside, the inside is all gooey and full of cookie dough. Ace.

I'm particularly keen on the white chocolate cookies. They're amazing!

Review of Beard Papa's

12 Apr 08, 05:00

OK 3*

This is a very odd Chinese (I think) import on Oxford Street.

A Beard Papa is a big creme choux bun. It's really popular outside the Uk and this is their first branch over here.

The standard filling is vanilla but they have different options. One is tea which seems very weird and I've not tried it.

Warning, if you don't like sweet things this is not for you as they are intense!

Review of The Premises Cafe

yum 4*

Great value restaurant near Columbia Road.

This is a good place to come when you're after something hearty. They do brilliant fry ups but we enjoy evenings the most.

The shish kebabs are huge and having tried the lamb, steak and chicken I can recommend them all. Particularly love the steak, it's really good quality. And don't miss the starters, the mixed meze is massive. You only need the 'for 1' between two of you.

Review of Benugo

PIE 4*

Not a cheap option for lunch but a reliable one. This is quite a large benugo cafe with seating inside and out.

Select a sandwich which is premade or the servers can make it in front of you. I particularly recommend the pies - there's normally a veggie and meat option. Get it with lashings of gravy, mash and ketchup and be the envy of your workmates!

Review of Tossed

Saladtastic 4*

A touch of health in a zone of food disasters. There's not many nice places to eat around leicester square.

Pick your base from cos, brown rice, cous cous and mixed leaves then select either a house salad or design your own.

There's also sandwiches, soups, stews, jacket potatoes avaliable and they do great smoothies. I particularly enjoy the strawberry surprise & chicken caesar salad.
