I'm working my way through a long list of cafes I want to visit in London, and slowly - very slowly ticking them off. This is another one in Shoreditch; a cool, light space hidden behind a huge corrugated door.
We visited Cream Cafe at around 9.30am, which in Shoreditch is almost inhumanely early, and were first in the door.
The menu is short and simple, but executed with pride. I chose the feta, chilli, and tomato toast, while Alice had bircher muesli, and Allie chose the omelet.
The coffees were good, though not quite hot enough (an eternal London struggle), and the food on the counter looked delicious. Just look at that cake!
The cool thing about Cream is that there are often exhibitions in the neighbouring room, so you can pop your nose in and add a drop of culture to your breakfast. But, we had set our sights higher and jumped on a tube to the nightmare that is Oxford Street on a Saturday. No no, we weren't there for shopping (well, maybe a bit) - we were there to visit The Photographers Gallery.
London is full of amazing, free of charge, galleries and museums, which are the perfect way to spend a weekend. Even if you're walking around slightly clueless there is something soothing about an art gallery.
