My new favourite City breakfast stop! This place hits all those magical buzzwords that make you feel good about yourself: organic, natural, superfood, fair trade… even compostable packaging! Nothing sets me up for the day and staves off the munchies like their Energiser Eggs, which for £3.75 come scrambled with mozzarella, avocado, tomatoes and basil — SO good. You also get a slice of toast, but given I heard on the radio yesterday that scientists have discovered the optimal thickness of a slice of toast is 140 mm and this is barely half that, it’s not much to Unilocal about. Anyway, get the eggs! Various other smoothies, porridge and bagel-​based options for expected city breakfast prices too, for those days when the cereal box under your desk just isn’t enough. I’m also a fan of the thai red curry with wild rice lunch option, but again you can knock yourself out with whatever meat-​free, gluten-​free, dairy-​free, low-​GI choice you so desire. Yes it’s a chain and there are a few around the city but this branch comes with one particular server who is fond of singing orders through to the kitchen — enough to crack anyone’s commuter mask at 7.30am… :)
