St David Coffee House

Tuesday, August 17, 2010 - The diminutive, wisteria-clad premises has five tables wedged inside, all of them busy on our mid-morning weekday visit...Cake stands, piled high with flaky croissants, millionaire's shortbread, carrot cake, cupcakes and flapjacks jostle for space on the bar. For the savoury minded, there are raw salads of colourful beetroot, carrot and cucumber, and two varieties of very English sandwiches (read: thinly filled). We tried a chorizo, pear and rocket one, and enjoyed the unsual combo. Staff at St David treat the Square Mile coffee beans with due reverence, describing in detail the summer espresso blend.
