The Best Cookies in London

"Peter Dore-Smith’s Kaffeine is the rare model of a cafe in which food and drink are attended to equally, with speciality coffee on par with the very best and sweet treats to rival those found in London’s speciality bakeries. Whilst the banana bread, toasted and smothered with butter, is arguably the most famous and popular treat, the espresso cookie sandwich is precisely engineered to show off the Square Mile espresso used in every cup of coffee, in a frosting sandwiched between two dark chocolate brownie cookies. Delivering a bittersweet hit of caffeine and cocoa in every mouthful, this cookie is a concise expression of the founder’s passion for coffee as more than just a drink, as well as the fastidious attention to detail that has made Kaffeine stand out in the city for so long." - Emma Louise Pudge
