Yumchaa Tea Room in Brick Lane. London

Image
Yumchaa Tea Room in Brick Lane.  London Small independent cafés and tea rooms are alwatys much more expensive than chain cafeé like Caffé Nero or Costa but they offer nothing more than them. This is not the case for Yumchaa.  The selection of teas is huge, the ambience modern and welcoming and the service quite good. Please see also my YouTube channel:  https://www.youtube.com/user/settime2588 P.S. just next door to this tea house there is a place called  Kahaila Cafe   .  I  respectfully strongly suggest you stay away from it . An espresso coffee I had there was ridicolously small, the prices are very hih and the service quite lousy. The place also looks bad and with cheap furniture.   Go to  Yumchaa Tea Room  instead, for a good hot cup. They also make good coffe and cappuccino and they have snacks and sandwiches.

Great Cappuccino Experience in Broadway Market, London

Image
Last Sunday I had a pleasant surprise in a restaurant and coffe shop in London. This is not something happens often nowadays... I simply asked for a cappuccino, and this is all what I received on my table. Price was not cheap, but not extortionate either for London standards. It happened at "El Ganso" café in Broadway market Road, London.

The Rainbow Bagel. Broadway Market, London

Image
I have started exploring new street markets in London. The first new one visited is the Broadway Market . These colourful rainbow bagels looked too good not to be photographed. You can find similar bagels in some bakeries in Brick Lane. Please see also my YouTube channel:  https://www.youtube.com/user/settime2588 A bagel (Yiddish: בײגל‎ beygl; Polish: bajgiel), also spelled beigel, is a bread product originating in the Jewish communities of Poland. It is traditionally shaped by hand into the form of a ring from yeasted wheat dough, roughly hand-sized, that is first boiled for a short time in water and then baked. The result is a dense, chewy, doughy interior with a browned and sometimes crisp exterior. Bagels are often topped with seeds baked on the outer crust, with the traditional ones being poppy, sunflower or sesame seeds. Some may have salt sprinkled on their surface, and there are different dough types, such as whole-grain or rye. Though the origins of bagels
