Sacred Cafe (Soho)

• Just off a very busy shopping paradise (or hell) of carnaby is Sacred cafe
• Offers slightly different coffee from the usual Columbian/Guatemalan/Kenyan blends that are seemingly ubiquitous
• Albeit not the very best in the city
• Downstairs is a nice retreat with atmospheric lighting and comfy seating
• Makes a change from most modern cafes with wooden seating with little space to enjoy 15 minutes of escapism
• One thing London has a number of are street cafes where you can grab a drink with your friends and lazy away for an hour or two
• There are roughly a dozen or so outdoor tables perfect for people watching with further seats inside
• The wait staff was friendly and yet also a bit forgetful not bringing Pascaline her drink for a good ten minutes
• I on the other hand thought my green tea (see photo above) was delightful in its charming little tea pot
• There was unfortunately nothing exceptional about the place and the only thing I remember is the slow service and overpriced olives
• Good for a pot of tea and catch up with friends but not where you'll want to grab a drink post work
• Sacred Cafe is a lovely little venue for a coffee and a catch up with delightful cakes and cookies
• The coffee is good but if I had one piece of advice for Sacred Cafe
• It's to start getting down with the foam art trend as our latte and cappuccinos didn't have anything exciting on top
• The first place in London to offer flat white coffee and it is as good now as it was when they first introduced it
• Lovely little cafe with a unique vibe to it
• Sit outside or downstairs because the stools inside will leave you with a back ache
• Now on this trip across the board the coffee has been much better but sacred is still worth popping into
• They have a distinct NZ flavour with good coffee and lolly cake in the cabinet and everything is delicious
