Centrally positioned across from the iconic St. Paul's Cathedral, this Paul location captivates with its prime locale yet poses challenges for patrons hoping to revel in a seamless dining experience. The cafe boasts a selection of pastries, from velvety lemon tarts to buttery pain au chocolat, alongside a variety of savory sandwiches like the mozzarella, tomato, and pesto option. The atmosphere inside offers a charming rustic feel, particularly on the more secluded upper floor, although the cleanliness of both dining areas and restrooms remains inconsistent. Outdoor seating allows guests the chance to enjoy views of the cathedral’s majestic dome, albeit some find the tables' conditions lacking. The staff exhibits a range from efficiency to indifference, suggesting variability in service quality. Catering predominantly to takeaway clients, expectations for dining in may need to be moderated; still, the locale serves as a convenient spot for a bite between London explorations.
