Lunch Analysis
I love coming to Bea’s of Bloomsbury (St Paul’s branch)! It has beautiful cupcakes and special cakes which changes daily and the salad boxes; pasta and other savoury bites are very delicious. The cafe serves a seasonal menu but usually you will find pasta options, chicken marinated drumsticks or thighs; quiche and salads.
If it is your first time here, it can be a bit overwhelming in choosing what to eat as it is all displayed right in front of you. For the salad options, you can request to have a bit of everything to make up your box as it is not immediately obvious from the menu board.
I have been here on many occasions when I was only going to have a salad box but ended up ordering a side cake and a coffee! It really is very tempting!
Eating in is a nice option if you have time and can find a space. Although, it is small it has a cosy feel and I could see myself sitting here for hours sipping tea or coffee and catching up with a pal.
For those, having to race back to the office, it is also a favourable option if you are looking for a modern flavours in your lunch. Salads served here won’t be the usual iceberg lettuce and a few tomatoes thrown in, there will be perhaps cous cous, rocket salad maybe some side potatoes and beetroot. The menus is seasonal but expect interesting salad options to be on the menu.
The coffee served here is the square mile coffee and it was rich and smooth. I chose the latte and was very happy with the smooth velvety texture.
Initially I thought it would only appeal to ladies but was pleasantly surprised to see many men popping in and equally impressed with the food and drink here.
I cannot wait to try there other cakes which I haven’t got round to because I have been side-tracked by the banana bread! Here is a selection of food that Bea's serves:
