A lovely little independent café, run by a lady who does it all—serving quality coffee, baked goods, and brunch. The space is fairly big, with wooden furniture that adds a warm touch (though not the most comfortable)

Overpirce rolls and pastisserie. Coffe good at London prices (£4 and beyond). The worst was the service of attitud, 30min before closing time at 4pm, she was already not keen on taking any customers. Was like doing us a favour when it takes 10min to drink a coffee. Place was totally empry except 1 guy at his laptop. She does not seem to have the need to accept more customers and change that bit happy to close down ASAP...HMMM.

The toasties I’ve had from the Hand have always been on point. They make a killer chorizo and cheese one. It’s just unfortunate it’s not open that much and lacks a bit of an atmosphere
