Marylebone, Sandwiches, Cakes, Etc Restaurant Guide

“Excellent smørrebrød” (open sandwiches) are on display at this Fitzrovia café, “but a lot of people go for the Swedish meatballs” – “this is where I head when homesick”, says an expat reporter. “There also is a little shop downstairs selling Scandi goodies”.

“Superb coffee” is the name of the game at “one of the original Aussie coffee shops in London” – still providing “exemplary service and high standards” after 15 years under its Melburnian founder, Peter Dore-Smith, and now with two branches in Fitzrovia. There’s also a pretty extensive menu of snacks and light bites to get you through the day. Top Tip – “try the great peanut butter made in-house”.

Need a light lunch or coffee and bite in Covent Garden? – You can have one in an elegant, high ceilinged space and boost the life chances of someone with learning difficulties or autism when you visit Bianca Tavella’s excellent fixture, which every year gives 15 young people (aged 18-25 years) with special needs the opportunity for work experience.
