My favourite coffee place in London. Freshly roasted beans on premises. They serve Pour over coffee, so not a quick as a Tim Hortons, but definitely worth the wait.

The best take-out Pizza place in London. Has been around for 3+ generations. Authentic Sicilian style pizza. More expensive then other pizza places, but if you want quality, hand-made, family style pizza, this is the place. Mom makes the sauce at home, the Aunt makes the sausages at home....For a real experience, make the order in person and watch the whole process, and chat with the staff -- they love to share the history of the place.
This is much more expensive then a Little Caesars or a Dominos, but this is also quality Pizza that can not compare to those places.
