London Highlights: Fernandez and Wells

Fernandez and Wells is the name of two different outlets in Soho: There’s a deli in Lexington Street and, just around the corner, a coffee shop on Beak Street. The deli sells a great range of meats, cheeses and wines whereas the cafe specialises in serving great coffee, pastries, sandwiches and cakes. I find it difficult to go to this corner of London without coming up with a reason to visit, although visiting Fernandez and Wells needs no justification.

The coffee is made from top quality Monmouth Coffee Co beans and was by far the best coffee I’ve had in London - my cappucino’s milk was silky smooth and, on previous visits, the espresso was perfect. The cakes are delicious too; I particularly like the carrot cake.

After getting accustomed to drinking the same lukewarm coffee from Starbucks, a visit to Fernandez and Wells is a pleasant change.
