I wanted to visit Urban Pantry Deli in Crookes over the weekend to see what little treats they had on offer (Our Cow Molly Ice Cream and Teoni's cookies amongst the goodies we brought home), and whilst inside noticed flyers for @Barretts235. Reasoning that its name suggested it was extremely close, I suggested that we nip up and have a little look.
We weren't set on having a cup of coffee at that point in time, but we were drawn in by the atmosphere and the general look of the place. Its open, big windows, with lots of high seating looking out made Nicky rather happy. They advertised free Wi-Fi, good food, good cakes and good coffee. All things we rather enjoy.
We were greeted with a smile, and had a look over their reasonably priced menu. There were plenty of specials on offer all over the place, and gluten free cake options too (though having already had that ginger crunch in the day we decided to be good...). A latte for me, a double espresso for him, and the crema was served to his satisfaction.
We were clad in our bike gear, full armour and all, and never felt out of place. This coffee shop was extremely relaxed and we felt like it was the sort of place we could spend an afternoon quite easily; just what we're looking for. Their menu had loads of tasty options on it as well, which we are looking forward to trying.
Coffee wise, maybe not the best we have had in the city, but far from the worst. They're also local supporters, with the cakes homemade by Sweet. Definitely one worth a visit, and worth the little detour out of town. If only we had more time (and room in our bellies) on this occasion!
