  • I'm still in London but I'm signing off being in the capital with a trip to the city's highest rated Café. Today, I'm at Devine Coffee Bar and it's rated as one of London's best restaurants let alone Café. Is it divine by taste as well as name? Let's give it a go and find out!

    That breakfast looked absolutely beautiful. I'm drooling.
    Proper sausage not the catering chip shop sausage you normally get. I like black pudding but I like it a bit thicker so it isn't too crisp. Bacon looked really nice and proper bread toasted. That looks very good value for £9. I would give that a 10 out of 10. Excellent review as always. Safe journey around the country doing your reviews. London will miss you.

    @Redsaxophone11 7 месяцев назад +1

    I agree with your comment about owner-owned cafes as they are more concerned about delivering a decent standard of service and quality of food. I find chain cafes are less bothered, no doubt it's because there may not be a firm policy on presentation, service standards etc.
    In particular, the food presentation for this establishment was very good and it looked like someone had taken some care plating up as opposed to some very haphazard efforts I have seen. I still wish a lot more places would serve the beans in a separate container as it stops the food from getting soggy.
    A well-earned 10 here on this one.

Your review reminds me of breakfast on the Yorkshire to London train - freshly cooked full English followed by loads of marmalade and toast - First Class service in the wonderful Mark 2 slam door carriage - quiet and smooth, no spilt coffee.

    Loved the Decor of the place, those prints looked great! The breakfast looked smashing as well and £2.50 for a cappuccino in London, unbelievable, must be the cheapest around! My Mrs. loves her Costa Cappo in the morning and that's £4 now, well actually over £6 because she has to have a Chocolate twist with it, lol! I know you don't like mushrooms Gary, but would you mind letting us know what sort these places do for those like me, who love them? (You know buttons out of a tin or real field mushrooms) Looking forward to your out and about the British Isles Vids!

I haven't heard of a cappuccino to be that good and cost only £2.50! The last time I had an Americano in Notting Hill Gate, it cost me £3.90!!

    Just catching up with a few of your historic reviews. That breakfast is amazing.
    Although from Yorkshire, worked in London for a while 1988/1989 for a recruitment agency just near to where you were in Lovat Lane, just off Eastcheap.
    Great memories.
    Was drawn to London although born and bred in Yorkshire was probably the fact my Grandmother's family grew up in the Newham area of East London (probably Essex then!) in the early 1900's.

    Hi again Gary, well found, almost a hidden jem. CTP caught the bright, clean almost sparkling interior brilliantly 😊 The panoramic views, catching happy customers was very well shot❤ At first i thought you'd ordered a creme brulee ,but then great looking coffee.😮 The breakfast, first glance, was good.However, i found a slight problem 😮 Was it a cafe breakfast or a restaurant breakfast???As cafe,a beauty. All looked fantastic, the sausage 10/10 The egg seemed to have been flipped, in short a good brekky ❤ But as a restaurant breakfast, one or two picky items 😢 Pre buttered toast,on main plate😢 The half tomato not cored 😢 and again, thin white older egg 🥚 😢I found it a bit noisy (not the rumbling from above, thought CTP's tummy😮) but just in general. The cost of that meal. A bargain, sale of the century ❤❤😊 Enjoy the upcoming trips,take care both of you. Oh and don't drink the water😢Cheers Allan&Family

      Very much a hidden gem. I agree on this and it seems to be common theme with most people as well, I much prefer to butter my own toast but I'm not going to knock them for that after the excellent cappuccino and breakfast. Sometimes the microphone can pick up a bit of background noise so it's something I will look to improve in the future. Agreed on the price, hope you're well my friend. Take care and haha, I won't...

  • @rogerjakko
    @rogerjakko 3 месяца назад

    It looked a real top quality meal and no doubt deserves a 10. Would give a 10 with gold star if there were extra sausages, egg etc .... as per what you know I normally say.
    Great to see a decent sized plate which gives plenty of room for manouvre.
    Personally, I prefer my toast served separately (and boy did that toast look tops) My reason is that eating an English is a surgical operation for me in that I will cut my toast into bite sized pieces, bang a piece on plate and then add what I want in loads of different combinations.

    Also black pudding has lumps of fat in it! Marbling is natural veins of fat ie steak has marbling, especially wagu. Or pork chops has marbling if it is bigh quality.
    But please go to Maggie's they do meals also, the liver, bacon and mash with onion gravy is also very good. In my opinion is the best in London! I've eaten all parts london over 30 cafés but not 'Devines' so can't compare. But I will say you'll not be disappointed with Maggie's established 1983! Haven't been there for a few years as no longer working in London but I hope Maggie is still there fit and well. She is a cheeky minx.
