The thing I immediately liked about the place was that it looked and felt more like a traditional Soho cafe, without many of the seemingly de rigueur trendy trimmings of modern coffee shops.

Now, I like to hog the wi-fi as much as the next self-facilitating media node, but it was refreshing to see this sign displayed on the wall, reminding customers that this is a cafe for chatting and not for flipping open laptops and clattering away on keys.

It’s pretty small inside Flat White, although there are some seats outside which I imagine are the place to be in the summer.

I liked the cork noticeboard on the right, too.

The prices are pretty reasonable for the West End. I’ll grab a toastie next time I’m there.
