La Forchetta - finally open

Mirandola

The icecream is good and the cakes look promising - anyone tried them? Wonder if we've reached peak cafe at that corner.

Coffee not great. Food seemed to be of the bottled mayo school. Squashed, ugly, uncomfortable outdoor tables. Disappointing.

But apart from that you loved it, right?

Partner and I had sandwiches from there a few days ago - his was disappointing, mine was verging on gross. Two sandwiches and two soft drinks came to more than £10. Think we'll stick to Vagabonds and Bon Matin. Grumble. <br>

Why look elsewhere with Vagabond and Bon Matin? Top it off with Season Kitchen and you're sorted.

Price, that's why. I am a poorly paid vet and the recession means fewer cats coming for the snip. So cheap sarnies and kebabs are a treat. Chang

Best place for cheap takeaway sandwiches is Dunn's. They will be a more regular treat now I can finally manage Crouch Hill on my bike. Cycle up, coast back down the hill and straight into the park to eat them (if it's ever sunny again).

It'll never be sunny again <br>

@ChangN4N6 Hope you know Crystal, Holloway Road then...their Golzeme are fantastic and only £3 each.

I will check it out cheers . Black Sea is good too. Chang

Hmmm. I'd still defend the cakes and icecream. Perhaps they are trying to do too many things at once?
