| Cafe and cake shop on Theobald's Row, near Gray's Inn Fields, opened in early 2008. There's [[Bea's Of Bloomsbury, EC4M 9BX|another branch]] near [[Locale St Paul's|St Paul's]] in the [[Locale City|City]]. |
A new (Feb 2008) cafe and cake shop on Theobald's Row, near Gray's Inn Fields. Inside, there are a few tables and what looks like a kitchen area up the stairs at the back of the shop. The decor is stylishly dark, though service is friendly. |

They have a small selection of salads, quiches and the like, but the focus is clearly on the cakes. A range of spectacular creations is in the window, with all kinds of other ones arrayed along the counter inside -- not just cakes, but muffins, biscuits and a tempting cherry galette. |

Having sampled one of their cupcakes (at £1.70), [[Ewan]] can confirm it is a perfect moistness, with a lemony cream topping which isn't overwhelmingly sweet (like the ones from Peyton & Byrne) but light and fluffy. The spinach and stilton quiche I had was also excellent. |

Comment added by Anonymous: Tasty menu and great to see live back in Theobald's Road. Holbon is fighting back with these types of cafes taking on the chains. The Fleet River Bakery on Lincolns Inn Fields is another worth visiting. |
