Bea's of Bloomsbury

With floral upholstery & bold, swirly walls that strike a pose between pretty & modern, Bea’s shows off its wares of mouth-watering displays of cakes & other goodies. Lunch brings a lively, colourful assortment of salads, pasta & deli-style offerings – think cherry tomato & feta tart, bacon & Stilton frittata or roasted aubergine, piquillo pepper & haloumi sandwiches. Kick-starting breakfasts might range from homemade honey & coconut granola to toasted savoury muffins, while afternoon tea is the full works served on a quirky tea stand (from Undergrowth Design). The food is matched by some classy caffeine hits (courtesy of a La Marzocco Linea machine), plus Valrhona hot chocolate & a bespoke version of spiced chai. You can book at weekends.
