Drink, Shop & Do (King's Cross)

• A 'ground floor' has a desk along with crocheted items and quirky random items that can be used to decorate the home can be found
• Where mismatched tables and chairs are arranged around the large high ceiling room
• I personally love their white macadamia nut cheesecake with caramel sauce
• Both places are particularly well decorated and each one is obviously suited for a specific moment of the day
• With a tea room is a room furniture combining vintage 40's 60's and contemporary design
• From a teapot with the effigy of Queen Elizabeth to flower bouquets
• One must wonder through the shop entrance with all sorts from sweeties to cards and up some stairs at the back
• We ordered several drinks (by the way they don't do milkshakes and the drinks are rather standard)
• The menu has only a few dishes available (enough to almost fill an A5 piece of paper) and most of which are cold dishes
• One of the only hot dishes available was the Chilli con Carne
• The lack of options was upsetting for such a brilliant surrounding and didn't do the decor justice
• It was overpriced and poor value for what is essentially
• They then had issues with splitting the bill and using cards
• Everything in Drink Shop Do is for sale &ndash
• It was very nice and came with an assortment of salad which I wasn&rsquo
• The soup special was thai coconut and sweet potato
• To my chagrin I was informed that it didn&rsquo
• The other order making me see green was the special of beef and ale stew
• This too came with some bread and butter and was served in a cute stew pot from which you could see the great hunks of beef and veggies poking out
• The ambience was definitely different
• The prices are fairly average for London
• 45 and the place was already quite busy
• Downstairs is a bit livelier
• Upstairs is perfect for having a catch up with a few close friends
• When we went in the daytime there was an assortment of board games at the bigger tables
• It was still commonplace to find people getting them out and settling down for a game with their pint
• I think Drink, Shop & Do (King's Cross) is delightful and have been back a few times most recently for a hen do when we had afternoon tea and had our hair and makeup done in vintage style
• I finally made it here courtesy of a friend who is soon to be getting married and needed a location for afternoon tea
• Organising a party here couldn't be easier the activities and teas are all clearly listed with prices on their main website
• The afternoon tea came with Strawberry Bellinis and for those of us who don't drink
• They did one of the BEST mocktail versions of this drink I have ever tried (of any drink I have ever tried to be honest) it was that fresh and light
• The sandwiches themselves were quite intriguing coming in various flavours of bread including beetroot
• Portion sizes were also very generous with 5 finger sandwiches each
• The cheese scone was nice though I'd have liked it to be served a bit warmer and perhaps just a bit thinner but it went really well with the nicely presented herb butter that came on the side
• The sweet scones were absolutely divine with a lashing of cream and jam
• These were lovely too but it was the sweet sonce that stole the show for me
• Also a nice touch were the complimentary red lollipops they had left as favours for our party
• Especially since there were clearly other parties going on in there at the same time
• The staff were all dressed in quite a quirky and edgy manner and there are some nice little books
• No seriously apparently this is a real thing they do
• As a concept pretty much everything is for sale here
• Drink, Shop & Do (King's Cross) is ideal for a catch up with an old friend over a coffee
• I'm not a fan of chocolate cake and unfortunately a lot of gluten free cakes are of the chocolate variety
• I actually really enjoyed the chocolate cake as it was very tasty
• Get there early if you are visiting during the day as the cafe fulls up very quickly with trendy iMac pounding youngsters
• I ordered their soup of the day served with bread and butter
• They specialise in simple foods with interesting or high quality flavours
• Drink prices are moderate to pricey but are generally worth the deal
• The Bakewell tea with its cherry
• What I like most about this cafe however is the 'do' element they have plenty of creative and cheap events to get involved with most days of the week
• As is the trend with many a places in London
• We came in to buy some gifts and left with some really cool wooden post cards and also full from cakes and coffee
• Up the back of the rather narrow shop you find yourself coming into a bigger space which is very well lit and nice
• The interior is quirky and colorful but no too over done so it still feels fresh
• The coffee was really good
• Do is a little eclectic cafe that doesn't look like much from the outside but is actually really cute
• They have nice porcelain tea sets and the restaurant is decorated in light pastel colors and cute mixed matched furniture that kind of reminds you of the Alice in wonderland tea scene
• I had a really nice chocolate brownie and thought their scones were also quite good but I did think that it was all a bit pricey
• Wasn't anything to do when I was there but the drink choice is vast
• Dips were perfect with a big glass of wine &
• I am in love with the hummus
• I discovered Drink, Shop & Do (King's Cross) online and a friend highly recommended their cocktails here but since I was going to meet my friend in the morning
• The chocolate almond cake slice was simple but rich
• The red velvet was good also but the best one would have to be the mocha and I'm not even a coffee fan
• Was decorated with some &lsquo
• As I went here with a rather large group
• We were seated in the room in the back with a shiny disco ball hanging from the ceiling and flamboyant walls
• They began with some snacks
• Nachos with the best guacamole I have had in a while
• Pieces of chicory filled with creamy pastes
• We had sandwiches with black olive tapenada
• We were given some really delicious cakes (the lemon one was my favourite) and some fine tea and well brewed coffee
• I can recommend Drink, Shop & Do (King's Cross) if you are looking for a teambuilding session
• Avoid Friday nights here is what I would say as it is crazy busy
• Absolute in love with Drink, Shop & Do (King's Cross)
