A theatre lovers heaven. The whole experience reminded me of the time I saw The Book of Mormon. I was concerned that maybe I had built it up too much in my head and the actual reality would disappoint. However, much like The Book of Mormon, all my expectations were exceeded and I am sure this was just my first visit of many more.
Located on Shaftesbury Avenue opposite Les Miserables, this cafe has everything a theatre fan could want; show memorabilia, show tunes and your aptly named drinks come in a theatre themed cup. If that isn't convincing enough, how about the iPads on every table where you can buy your theatre tickets while sipping at a cup of coffee?
It is a relatively small cafe with small long tables but it is perfectly cosy and comfortable enough to sit in and chat for hours (I should know, I did). All the tables are covered with collages of show posters. For the avid theatre goer this is a good way to test how many shows you've actually seen and how many left you have to see.
The staff are very friendly and efficient, they did everything that I expect from good customer service. It just has the perfect atmosphere for a West End cafe.
