Bea's of Bloomsbury - St Paul's
83 Watling Street
EC4M 9BX
With a moto "Life is short. Eat more cake" this is my kind of place. So on a hot Friday afternoon I met my friend and decided nothing says summer like a nice slice of cake. Having followed Bea on twitter and purchased her cookbook, to say I was excited is an understatement. So Jacqui and I met at St Paul's Station, put the address in google maps and set off for a cake date.
The St Paul's branch is small and on our visit very, very hot, but still worth it. After deliberating on what to get, we both went for cheesecake, Jacqui a passion fruit and me a peanut butter. We then decided it would be rude not to have a cold glass of something to wash our cake down with, unfortunately they only had Prosecco, so what's a girl to do??
We ordered at the counter, found an empty seat upstairs and waited. The service was quick and friendly and the cake did not disappoint. We both got a little bit of food envy when the lady sitting next to us was served her afternoon tea; baguettes instead of dainty sandwiches, 3 different brownies, a cupcake...why did we not order that?
Oh well, we'll have to go again.
