Scandinavian cafe/deli/coffee shop in Fitzrovia.

It offers open sandwiches and flapjacks along with coffee from the Monmouth Coffee Company. Open from 8am on weekdays, so handy for breakfast; and the LRB review linked below suggests that the breakfast platter is well worth trying. A three-item platter is £4.50, and a five-item platter £6.50; their website recommends the three-item platter for a "normal" lunch and the five-item version if you're especially hungry.

There is a range of open sandwiches which can be added to a platter, mostly involving fish as might be expected. There are also a few vegetarian options. For an additional £1.00, you can add a potato salad on the side. Portions are small but filling, which also holds for the pastries (though for cinnamon buns, head to Nordic Bakery: the ones here are sticky and warm, certainly, but rather smaller). However, the coffee is excellent and presented in lovely mugs. In general, design is a strong feature of the Scandinavian Kitchen.

An anonymous visitor comments that the flapjacks are "fantastic", the coffee is "great", and the place as a whole is "good value for money". Ewan can certainly agree on the coffee.

Also stocks Scandinavian groceries including a wide range of herring products. Bakers may be interested to know that according to their April 2008 mailout, they stock ammonium carbonate, fresh yeast, and "several different kinds" of Scandinavian flour.

Comment added by Peter Bruce: I really like this place. The guys there are really nice, you always feel welcome. There are too many faceless cafes, this is not one of them. Recommended.
