The High Llama Cafe, Bakery and Deli

You'll find yourself on Riding House Street in Fitzrovia, dodging the media types who work round here, pushing through the door of what looks deceptively modest from outside. Inside, it's all warm wood, the kind of cafe that smells exactly how you want a cafe to smell—fresh bread competing with proper espresso. The counter's stacked with laminated croissants, sourdough loaves that actually have a crust worth eating, and a deli case that takes itself seriously: proper charcuterie, good cheeses, the kind of stuff that suggests someone actually cares about what goes in the sandwiches.
