Kaffee
Obviously we were in need of a strong coffee (it was before 12pm), and our Capuccino and Latte did not disappoint! The smell of the fresh coffee beans was enough to awaken our senses, and the delicate decoration helped the drinks go down a treat!
Kuchen
We were
spoilt for choice when we came here; with lots of the traditional options,
along with new recipes and a combination of flavours unique to Bea’s. Magali
took a Chocolate and Peanut Butter Cheesecake, whilst Sarah tried the Nutella
Duffin. We can safely say that these cakes were not only delicious, but very filling!
Atmosphere
Since we
had never heard of this coffee shop before, we weren’t too sure what to expect.
Upon arriving we were seated in a cosy corner of the shop with optimum scope
for people watching – our favourite sport. The staff was extremely friendly and was more than happy to
advise us on which cake was the best. We felt comfortable and relaxed, and best
of all, service was prompt! Also, we as we sat and wrote this blog post, we
were not rushed out or made to feel unwelcome – Thank you Bea’s!!
Location
The one
thing that we will say is the location isn’t great. As mentioned, we had never
been here before and it was hard to come by. Not near any shops or tourist
locations, Bea’s is a detour from our regular journeys. Holborn itself is not
very picturesque, and the business atmosphere takes away from the Kaffee and
Kuchen experience we were trying to enjoy. However, it was this precise
obscurity which allowed us to find a seat easily, made the place quite quiet
and gave the shop an overall atmosphere of
tranquility and maturity.
Price
For central London, we were pleasantly surprised!
Our coffees were $2.60 each, and our Cakes ranged from $2 - $5. So we managed
to each have a Kaffee and Kuchen for around $5! And as we said, we were more
than satisfied when we’d finished! The price is very reasonable and we will definitely
be returning to Bea’s!
