MMC: Fleet River Bakery

Fleet River Bakery

located just around the corner from Holborn station was the latest MMC crew coffee stop.

The word "bakery" is in its name so I thought there would be bakery item after bakery item lining the walls. However, that was not the case.  There were a few cakes, a few muffins, some granola with yogurt options, but nothing too grand to warrant the name "bakery".

That being said the piece of cake I ate was pretty tasty, the granola with yogurt that my friend got was also a hit.  Coffee's were pretty tasty as well.  My jeans even got a taste of flat white after a lady bumped into me walking down the steps... oops! No worries though, I wasn't burned and the lady quickly replaced my flat white, however, never said Sorry... oh well... I guess it was the coffee replacement that really mattered.

Will I go back? Maybe, maybe not... Maybe they were just having an off day when I visited?

The upside was I got to hang with my MMC gals and enjoy some great conversation.

The Serpentine Bar and Kitchen

The Serpentine Bar and Kitchen

Our most recent Monday Morning coffee was at the lovely Serpentine Bar and Kitchen located in Hyde Park (near Hyde Park corner) right on the Serpentine (water).

It was a sunny day so this was an ideal location for "MMC".  They have a huge selection of food items for take-away or eat in as well as a large selection of teas, coffee, and hot chocolates.  You can eat inside or outside...whatever your heart desires...  The prices are fair and the people are actually quite nice.

Would I go back? Totally
Was the coffee good? Yes, it wasn't the best I ever had, but it definitely wasn't the worst either
Was the tea good? My friend who is not even a tea drinker said he loved the tea.

Here are a few pictures of the Serpentine Bar and Kitchen for you to enjoy:
