Cuppa Flower

Award winning Restaurant, currently with 1 Hat to their name.
Great coffee, freshly baked treats (Flourless Chocolate cake with Caramel sauce is my fave) and perfect for brunch or dinner. Kind of a cafe, bakery, and restaurant all in one...popular with celebs too, Nigella Lawson was one of it's most recent customers.
The menu is Middle Eastern inspired and the prices are comparable to the average, so considering the amazing quality of both food and service it's a real bargain.
