<div class="old_info">To the uninitiated, Avella's Cafe seems like just another London sanger shop which serves traditional greasy spoon fayre in the morning. However, the beauty in Avella's is the relationship between the family who run the shop - Mum, Brother and Sister (and possibly Dad? Not sure...) bicker and make faces behind each others backs, winking knowingly at customers and encouraging banter with regulars. The jokey insults aside, I feel like there's conflict simmering between every conversation they have, whether it's Mum asking Sister to peel some hard boiled eggs or Brother asking where the ciabattas are. You can't get this kind of thing at Subway.

Comment added by Howard: Try the "American Dream" from here, it's unreal - not for the veggie amongst us though, but a supreme sanger!

I must confess I have only ever had the toasted spinach, cheese and avocado on ciabatta and the 'Vegetarian Job', toasted mozzerella, black olives, basil and tomatoes on ciabatta - but priced at £3.50, tasty, huge, and crucially, right by my office, they're highly recommended.
