Tube: Old Street
Had: Jacket potato with cheese, cappuccino
Cost: £6.40
My addiction to the snooze button meant I had to start work on an empty stomach (minus one biscuit on my way to the Tube), and arrived at Kafeteria completely starved. So excellent conditions for Kafeteria- anything that looks remotely like food should catapult me into sheer euphoria. And did it?
Partly. The coffee (organic) was excellent, I'm tempted to call it continental. Strong, milky and frothy- an excellent cappuccino- though I'd asked for a latte. Never mind. The cappuccino was amazing and I forgive them.
Time to eat and I don't have to wait long until I'm served with an enormous jacket potato (good I'm hungry) with lashings of cheese and an obligatory side salad - a handful of lettuce, a piece of cucumber, three pieces of watery tomato. The potato itself was quite alright, hot all the way through but, probably due to it's size, slightly underdone.
Having satisfied my hunger, I seize the opportunity to have a closer look at the surroundings. The eating area is painted in a light green, which makes the cafe appear cosy and modern at the same time. A huge part of the cosiness, though, is due to the seating area being just the right size (seats about 20).
Regrettably I didn't get to use the patio area, it was an october morning after all.
Verdict: I'll be back for the coffee. Foodwise I might give their extensive sandwich selection a try.
