    The Rapha cafe is excellent, reasonable prices too. Filter coffee (a free refill too) and almond croissant for a fiver- went down a treat! Can recommend their fig rolls also.

    There are a few places that spring to mind immediately
    Look Mum No Hands (near Old St)
    Rapha (near Piccadilly)
    Kinoko Cycles (near Piccadilly) take out only
    Lock 7 (Prichards Rd EC2)
    Micycle (Barnsbury Street, Islington)

    Since when a coffee and a crossaint for 5 pounds is reasonably priced? it's reasonable compared to the 120 pounds they want for their winter merino base layer, but still not cheap!
    3 pounds is reasonably priced, 4 is the norm in London, 5 is a bit on the pricey side...

    In comparison to your high street cafes, for value, quality, atmosphere, the staff... I consider a fiver good value. Not something I could afford every day, but then I don't wear £120 merino base layers either...
