Yumchaa

Think of lazy afternoons with hot cups of tea and apple cake, long chats with good friends while you watch people go by, cosiness and warmth. Yumchaa actually means yummy tea or so they claim on the website but they also serve coffee, sandwiches and lovely cakes. And please don't ask me to choose between the two cafes in Camden and Soho, it's not possible. The Camden one is like an old best friend, no matter how much you may get annoyed when it's crowded or the service is slow on weekends, you think of the lazy, not so busy grey, drizzly weekdays when you catch a glimpse of the canal from your tiny table on the balcony and you sip you spicy tea and your head clears completely. The Soho cafe is fairly new, it's bright and airy and cosy and I would dare to say fairly spacious and you can usually get a table by the window - almost a haven away from the crowds of Oxford street. And what's more in Yumchaa you can get almost every black, green, red and white tea flavour you could ever imagine, let's say 'chilli chilli bang bang' is my fav at the moment!
