\"\"<\/p>\n

With our regular coffee haunt\u00a0Federation\u00a0Coffee overrun with tourists, we decided to give the Caffe Nero in Morley’s department store a go.<\/p>\n

At the counter, we noticed a tray of\u00a0attractively\u00a0packaged \u00a0lemon curd treacle slices from the Bad Boys Bakery on offer – the\u00a0product of Gordon\u00a0Ramsay’s new TV\u00a0collaboration\u00a0with Brixton prisoners, \u00a0‘Gordon Behind Bars<\/a>.’<\/p>\n

They looked pretty tasty, so we decided that they were worth a \u00a31.75 punt.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

In case you haven’t seen the TV show, Ramsay’s challenge is to\u00a0teach useful \u00a0kitchen skills to inmates at Brixton Prison and to make a\u00a0viable business out of the\u00a0venture.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

I’m not normally a fan of treacle slices, but – Lordy – this one was delicious!<\/p>\n

Moist, tasty, not too sweet and with a pleasing biscuit base, \u00a0this was a real treat that was very filling.\u00a0I loved it!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

I liked the cardboard packaging too.<\/p>\n

Update 21st July 2012:<\/strong>\u00a0Sadly, there are\u00a0no more of these cakes for sale at the Brixton Caffe Nero. Apparently, they only had about “3 or 4 boxes” on the day we were there and that was it.<\/p>\n

The lady serving behind the counter told me that they have received lots of calls from people wanting to know if the cakes were in stock – with most saying that they were interested in coming to the cafe if they were available.<\/p>\n

Caffe Nero, Brixton<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

I was pleasantly surprised by the Caffe Nero in Brixton. I’m not a fan of chain\u00a0coffee\u00a0stores, but the coffee was pretty good and there’s plenty of\u00a0window\u00a0seats letting you watch the comings and goings around Brixton tube station.<\/p>\n

In fact, \u00a0it was while I was scoffing the treacle slice that I managed to grab the pictures showing The Bride Of Brixton running around the tube station<\/a>.<\/p>\n
