Very well priced student hang out in London. Good selection of food and drinks. Open to the public and friendly staff.
I visited today and had a chicken katsui curry in the downstairs restaurant. The meal was very tasty and cost 6.80. Every member of staff was helpful, friendly, pleasant and smiling.
Lots of seating, great to study. They also have meal deals and a dining room in the basement.
Came here for lunch with a friend and really enjoyed the pizza! We got the farmhouse and the spicy pepperoni and recommend! The service was friendly and the place was clean! A really good spot to study in as well.
A very special students cafe Garrick is part of the student life at the LSE. The cafe serves very good coffee, especially cappuccino and nice fresh cakes and sandwiches. Especially recommended is the rainbow cake, which looks amazing and tastes great too! This ground floor cafe, which has all round windows both from the LSE courtyard and the central street close to the Royal Courts of Justice on the Fleet Street, also has a ground floor donn no ont place they serves food, other than just coffee and sandwiches. One negative experience: my mobile phone was stolen right from under my nose back in summer 2015.
One of the most convenient cafes of LSE where non-LSE folks can also meet/hang out. Whether you've dinner plans next door at Roka or some other engagement, perfect as a landmark too.
I had a meeting next door so came in there for a coffee to prepare. Lots of tables free and my Americano was only 1 as they had a special between 8am and 930. Very good.
I was walking around the area and felt like eating a egg and bacon sandwich and saw this place on Google map and decided to give it a try. The guy at the reception took me downstairs and I was very well served by this sweet and very kind lady who made me a huge and tasty breakfast on toast. 2 sausages, 2 eggs and 4 bacon rashers on a white bread and a late for less than 5. I was too hungry to take pics tho. Definitely recommend this place!
