\"Flat<\/p>\n

If you follow this blog, you’ll know that I’m a man who likes his coffee and his cafes<\/a>, and I’m delighted to share my latest fave in Soho, the Flat White coffee shop at\u00a0\u00a017 Berwick St, London W1F 0PT.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\"Flat<\/p>\n

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<\/em>\u00a0trendy trimmings of modern coffee shops.<\/p>\n

\"Flat<\/p>\n

It’s always a good start when HP and Tomato Ketchup are available.<\/p>\n

\"Flat<\/p>\n

Now, I like to hog the wi-fi as much as the next\u00a0self-facilitating media\u00a0node, but it was refreshing to see this sign displayed on the wall, reminding customers that this is a cafe for chatting<\/em> and not for flipping open laptops and clattering away on keys.<\/p>\n

\"Flat<\/p>\n

Of course, none of the above matters if the coffee tastes like dried mud: happily, the brew was delightful and the cake – a curious mix of Portuguese custard tart and brioche – was ruddy delicious.<\/p>\n

\"Flat<\/p>\n

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

I liked the cork noticeboard on the right, too.<\/p>\n

\"Flat<\/p>\n

Exterior view. Note the small benches.<\/p>\n

\"Flat<\/p>\n

The prices are pretty reasonable for the West End. I’ll grab a toastie next time I’m there.<\/p>\n
