If you want a cheap bite, go to Yildiz. Today I had what looked like a giant sausage roll but it had potato and cheese in it instead, it was super tasty and only £1.20. To follow I had a mincemeat slice which was also great (£1 seems a lot but it was big!). I wish I had sat inside though. There’s 3 or 4 tables in the back of the shop. The counter is huge and there is a big selection to choose from. A top place.

I’ve been into so many cafes recently, with only minor variations, that they are starting to blur into one a little. Nevertheless, some do stand out. Well, this one’s a bakery for a start. A long counter runs the length of the shop from front to back, filled with an array of goodies. Breads, savouries and towards the back biscuits and cakes.

I didn’t get to sample the sweets on offer. A lot of them seem to appeal to the eye perhaps more than refined tastes: decorated meringues and that kind of thing. Go in there with a kid and there’s no way you are going to go out with your wallet intact.

Instead I got to sample a speciality of theirs: a type of flatbread with a stuffing of my choice. I choose a mix of feta and spinach, but mince and potatoes were also on offer. It was very tasty and filling, I’d go back for another. Also freshly made: a couple of ladies sit by round platforms in the window of the shop making them to order!

They have tables near the back of the shop where you can enjoy food and a drink (nice hot chocolate…). There are loos, though they are not the best. The staff are friendly. Café standard, but a little different.
