Review of Sacred Cafe

It's nice here 
Good food, good coffee, good cakes, and if you're nearby with a laptop you can nick their internet connection because they're a bit daft like that. It does get a bit cramped, though.

Review of Thanks For Franks
18 Nov 07, 04:11
Well proper
A busy little place tucked down a side street off Carnaby Street, Franks is great for an off the shelf sarnie, but they will also rustle up a nice bespoke number like a banana, chili and peanut butter baguette if you're off your tits. A busy lunchtime may involve a lot of squeezing, apologising and frottage, but then some people like that sort of thing. They seem to have an extensive hot and cold menu, know their market, and manage to serve up consistently good fodder with perspicatity and flair. I don't really know what that means, but my English teacher once said that about me in a complimentary school report, so they must be nice, innit.

Review of Just Falafs

Smells like a chippy 
Nice enough, good, filling, a little overpriced for a bit of dry bread and a few bits of chick pea, but then I imagine the rent is pretty nasty. And they need to sort the a/c out, as it often smells like a chip shop. They're trying too hard with not only the name of the shop, but the food itself all has oh-so-funny names, which make me feel like a right plum when ordering, especially if there's some media lovely in the queue behind me. The shared table concept is a bit poo, too, in my humble opinion. If I wanted to eat that close to dodgy strangers, I'd go to prison, thank you.

Review of The Office
08 Aug 07, 15:53
A decent place
Directly opposite one of the Archway Road entrances to Highgate Tube, the Office is a decent little internet and Wi-Fi cafe. No parking means it never gets busy, they serve up Illy cafe and a good selection of tea, and you get a free fresh pastry with a drink in the mornings. Foreign staff play havoc with the spelling of the daily menu specials, but they are helpful and friendly. Wi-fi access is free for half an hour, but they expect you to buy more tea or something if you stay for longer. Daily sandwiches are above the norm, with a selection of breads and rolls, and fillings such as tuna, fresh Wiltshire ham and salad which change daily. Downstairs, an hour on one of half a dozen fast PCs - all with web cams - will cost just 1.50, and they seem to throw in free drinks dependent on the mood. Upstairs, every table has a PC showing classic films, but with the sound turned down, and a strange mixture of musac and Euro-rock playing, again, dependent on who's shift it is. There's free papers and AC too, but it can get a bit noisy with the passing traffic on the A1. Overall, a good place for a quick coffee, a decent sarnie and a quick surf.
