1.) Whenever it’s a lovely sunny morning, Macondo is the place to go if you’re in Angel.
As it’s tucked behind Upper Street you feel a million miles away from the city and noise. You can sit outside peacefully and enjoy your coffee in an al fesco environment . The ‘healthy’ breakfast is delicious, possibly the nicest granola I’ve ever had but if you’re after something more substantial there is plenty to offer on the menu.
And if you pop by in the evening, the Espresso Martini is definitely worth a try!
2.) Ok, first of all, haven’t tried the food and I tried not to look at all of the tantalizing cakes and pastries and I wasn’t there during the Camden Passage rush hour on the weekend and am skeptical about the huevos rancheros…..BUT….
As a Sunday night need a place to have a date and can’t possibly put another drop of alcohol into the mouth so hoping for a tea/coffee kind of place where one can converse and still have ambience…..this place scored a 10.
Still determined to check it out under other circumstances, but definitely one to add to your “I don’t want to go to SBUX and need an open cafe in the evening” list.
3.) I do not know whether this is Spanish food, Mexican or an amalgamation of both. The breakfasts though are different, tasty and because I’m a piggy, leaves me wanting for more. The smoothies are also yummy and come in strange little cups that empty far too quickly.
What caught my eye and tantalised my belly was the array of stunning looking cakes. I had a chunk of Lizzie’s chocolate brownie and without hesitation I tell you it is the best brownie I have ever tasted.
If you fancy a slice of indulgent cakey delight in simplified rustic surroundings you should come to Macondo.
4.) I loved the Latin inspired cosy atmosphere of this cafe-bar-gallery. The lunch meny changes daily, food is fresh and colorful and the portions generous. The menu is about salads, tortillas, paella..and it is all displayed in big bowls around the bar desk.
And once you see the cakes, oh the amazing home made cakes, you just can’t leave without having a taste. The place is mostly known by it’s cheesecakes.
For lunch I had the Spanish tortilla with salad, fresh mint tea and a piece of almond cake for a desert. I was struggling to finish it all, so I would recommend to share the piece of cake with your friend, it is definitely enough to fill two persons. Yam!
