"There’s no better way of celebrating good fortune than sharing it with the people I love. This time, I decided to treat my partner to a cup of tea and a slice of cake, to which he obviously didn’t say no. Our destination was a deli-patisserie that goes by the name of Fork, right off Tavistock Place. Of course, I had done my research. I devoted a few lunch breaks to looking for a nice café that serves delicious desserts, and Great Little Place’s tip-off suggested that Fork could be what I was looking for. I headed there with a feeling of uncertainty, not knowing what I would find; more afraid, perhaps, of disappointing my partner, whom I had dragged there from West London, than of finding that reality wasn’t meeting my own expectations. What I found, instead, is that I had no reason to worry. Fork was exactly what I was looking for, and ticked all the boxes, from “nice café” to “delicious desserts”. The space is cosy enough to give you a warm, homely feeling, and big enough to not get too crowded, even though only one table was free when we arrived. I could easily picture myself spending a whole afternoon there. Laptop on one side, a cup of coffee on the other, relaxed and focused and inspired to get some writing done. I’d love to try that, actually, as I haven’t found my “writing spot” here in London quite yet. When it came to ordering, we faced a challenge, as there were plenty of sweet treats on display. There were croissants, Portuguese Pasteis de Nata, a Carrot Cake that looked extremely inviting – and, as if this wasn’t tempting enough, Orange and Almond Cake samples. We took one. It tasted great. The choice became much easier when we saw the four big scones on the far right of the counter. It’s written in the books (or, at least, it will be as soon as I write one : you simply can’t resist a scone at teatime. Not when it comes with two different kinds of jam, and a teapot of Earl Grey. The price was also very reasonable. Had we gone to one of Bloomsbury’s more well-known cafés, the same amount I spent at Fork would probably have been the price per person, and the portions would have been half as big. The only downside is that they didn’t accept card payments at the time of my visit (January 2013 , so make sure you have some cash on you, or you’ll have to queue at the Brunswick’s cash point before enjoying your treats. My Cash Point Mission didn’t take long, and tea and scones were already on our table when I returned. They came with Strawberry and Rasperry jam – two of my favourites. Both were excellent, and I struggled to decide which one I liked the most. In the end, Raspberry won the pageant. A pageant that involved several spoonfuls of strawberry jam, to make sure my judgement was as accurate as could be. I hope I’ll have a chance to visit Fork again, perhaps at a different time of the day. I’d like to try their coffee, as they use Monmouth Coffee beans, and I love Monmouth Coffee with all my heart (but then who doesn’t? . I’m also curious about having lunch at Fork, as the savoury food I saw on display looked very tempting. In particular, I set my eyes on a Spinach and Feta Quiche I won’t forget so easily…and who knows, maybe next time I’ll feel bold enough to sign the Fork Wall of Fame! Full review on: [hidden link]"

Fantastic. A fantastic new little cafe this area of Bloomsbury desperately needed. Beautiful interior, amazingly fresh salads and you must try their almond croissants! A welcome addition to my neighbourhood!

The tarts here are by far my favorite items! The lemon and raspberry tart is especially my favorite, because it's stuffed with fresh, bursting raspberries which is a perfect complement to the mellow lemon curd. Paired with a latte, it is a perfect combo! I highly suggest going here for a late brunch or perhaps when you are just in the mood for a tasty treat. Visualizza piatti

I honestly don't really know how to sum up how much I love fork: I come every day. They have a perfect selection of sandwiches, beautiful salads, soup, savory tart, gorgeous desserts and great coffee and tea. I have never been anything less than totally satisfied. Also, everyone is really friendly and the space is really cute. If you are even remotely local, you should come for lunch!

I ordered a long black coffee (£1.70) and a delicious thyme scone with cream cheese and early dings dingle (£4.80, eat-in) for a late breakfast today. The scone was substantial in both size and flavor. I highly recommend it for a hearty breakfast or lunch. As for the ambiance, this café has a fun, funky vibe while still feeling relaxed. The service was quick, and the staff was friendly. I will definitely be back soon!

wonderful place!. my partner and I were in london for the Chelsea flower show and were so excited to find fork! we were in cartright gardens and arrived at the breakfast. the staff was super friendly, gentle, fast and efficient. the food was fresh, very cheap and coffee best we had in london. I had the granola with yogurt and rhabarb, which was only fab and original. if they go somewhere near to fork, it will make their day. Visualizza piatti

I chose this place for breakfast and it was a wonderful experience. The ambiance was beautiful, and the staff was incredibly friendly. I spent hours there, enjoying more coffee as time went on. It's definitely the best spot for a peaceful work environment or a catch-up with friends. The French croissant was fresh and fluffy, while the hearty bread with cream was an absolute delight. The coffee was the perfect complement to my rich breakfast.

I joined a friend for lunch at this charming little independent café that she raved about, but I didn't share her enthusiasm. I found the seats uncomfortable, and the music was too loud for my liking. My salad was disappointing in flavor, and the selection of soft drinks was limited. While I appreciated the ambiance, it felt like it was trying a bit too hard to be trendy and emphasize its independence. Ultimately, it’s up to you to decide whether to trust my perspective or my friend’s.
