Not a very
fashiony post , but still wanted to share, as I felt really good that afternoon
and started getting into the proper Christmas spirit a little bit. Me and my dear friend Ola went to Timberyard Seven Dials in Covent Garden/ Leicester Square. This
is the second Timberyard cafe with the original being in Shoreditch. She had heard it was good so it was in our bucket list for a while. I've been realizing how fussy I have become with my coffee so I am so happy to say this
has become one of my favourite coffee shops in London and my future visits will
certainly be plenty. It was not just the tasty tasty coffee or the absolutely
unforgettable "Cheesecake Oreo Brownie", it was everything (the good company did help).The staff was extremely friendly, in a truly
genuine way- not just asking you how you are and not even bothering to hear
your generic "I'm good. Thank you" reply. We had a bit of an accident as
the table, that came with our incredible making-you-want-to-lounge-there-forever-couch,
was actually a couple of empty vintage suitcases stacked on top of each other
(how cool, right?). Typical me situation: the water glasses slipped off the
"table" and smashed into pieces, so that everyone in the cafe could
lift their head off their laptops and give me a weird look. One of the guys
came to clear it and was incredibly nice, making jokes and ensuring me that it
isn't a big deal and it happens all the time. I hope so. This accident
strangely somehow reminds me of my very short and quite unsuccessful
catering/waitressing experience...
The cafe
just made you feel at home. It wasn't identical to most of the other ones that
have been popping up everywhere and also had the coolness factor without
overdoing it like some other places. The food, including all the pastries,
cakes and healthier options (they had a salad section as well) looked (and
tasted) amazing. And everything had a twist from the traditional food you get
at cafes. The coffee was perfect if I didn't mention already. After leaving I
felt really happy without any particular reason and as we walked through the
busy area on a Thursday afternoon, with all the Christmas lights lit up and the
smell of roasted chestnuts, I finally realised that Christmas (as well as my
b-day!) is coming.
p.s.: The
cafe must have amazing Wi-Fi as 60% of the people were there with their
laptops, so it would make the perfect working spot! Wonder where I am going to
head to do my next assignment…
