    London's cafe scene got a boost at the weekend when fashion and lifestyle brand Aimé Leon Dore opened their London flagship store in Soho. Why it's of interest to us is that it means that, like the original store in New York, London now has a Café Leon Dore.

    The hip walnut-panelled, marble-floored café serves up a shortish menu that they say is "inspired by Greek culture". That means you'll be able to order Freddo Espresso

    Veueve Clicquot is coming to Soho with The Sunny Side Cafe, a pop-up that's a little different from their standard fare. Yes, there's Champagne (of course) but this is also a pop-up that's their own take on a classic greasy spoon cafe.
