Food & Drink: Laura Solon's Coffee Break

Review by Laura Solon | 30 Jul 2010

I am going to pick 2 places: Urban Angel uses words like "philosophy" and "locally sourced" – plus the menu is all in lower-case font, so it has to be good for you. I would go there to have amazing eggs Benedict before my show. And sometimes cake – but organic cake so, again, better for you and kinder to polar bears.

But then there’s Black Medicine Coffee Co., which is also brilliant. Their huge mugs and heavy wooden tables make the whole place feel mighty – the kind of café Thor would go to for his afternoon Ribena.
