Eatsies

Located just of Chancery Lane on the corner of Andrew Street and recently refurbished in 2015, I’ve often pop into this Café for a cool drink on the long hot summer afternoons whilst waiting for my wife who works near by, a nice selection of fresh fruit and sandwich selections tailor made to your liking plus really nice what I call proper milkshakes made on site, so of your in that neck of the woods then I’d recommend a visit to quench your thirst or hunger

The picture that was provided by a fellow Unilocaler convinced me to go.
Unfortunately, it was like the profile picture of someone on a dating website, taken at the best angle when the place looked its best.
When I finally met Eatsies it was like meeting the person from the dating website. The restaurant had put on 20 pounds and looked 20 years older.
My meal was a stale roll with the driest pulled pork I have ever tasted. I dont like to bash buty there are better choices in the area.

Having read Lizzie and Larissa’s rave reviews, we decided to try Eatsies for lunch as we were in the neighbourhood. First, big kuddos for the shear number of options: it was as if Willy Wonka decided to diversify into sandwiches. I ordered the «Louisiana» — a tuna melt with jalapenos — while my friend had the fresh turkey carvery with cranberry. The made to order burritos also looked delish.
My only reason for docking a star is because of ambiance, of which there is none other than a large screen TV that was showing the British equivalent of C-​Span (live coverage of your favourite politicians in action). But I will definitely return for takeaway.

The bap is so underrated in London. I love baps, breadie carbs with greasy fried fillings for breakfast that start your day in a special way… better than coffee in the mornings… better than… sex? Well that’s questionable!
So I came here for a breakfast out this morning and was more than happy with the eggy cheesy joy that founds its way onto my plate. The coffee was strong and the service fast. Basically, just what you want at this time of day. The thing that really impressed me was the yummy looking sandwiches up for grabs, it actually made me want to come back for lunch. Yep, I think that may be my lunch plans for today.

Breakfast joints are hard to come by in Central London. That is why I am so pleased to have found Eatsies. Sure, it appears as if they specialise in lunch foods, what with their long list of ‘Gourmet Wraps’, sandwiches and salad bar, but they’re open at 8:00am and provide things like sausage rolls, eggs on toast, bagels, muffins, beans and porridge.
So, I wasn’t blown away by my poppy seed bagel with a fried egg, but I wasn’t looking to be blown away by it, especially. It hit the spot and went down a treat with a cup of breakfast tea.
In fact, based on the taste of my breakfast alone, I’d give Eatsies three stars. But since it is one of the only places open for breakfast in the area around my office, I’m bumping the rating up. I’m nice like that.
Importantly, Eatsies has a good amount of indoor seating as well as outdoor seating (I’ll save sitting outside for the warmer months, though). Too many cafes in this area have no seating. What’s that about?
Plus, everything on the menus (breakfast and lunch) is super cheap.
I love cheap food. I mean, I love the clearance shelves at Sainsbury’s, those ones with banged up tins of tomatoes. I’m all about those.
Furthermore, I suspect the lunch is pretty damn tasty. I’m going to go back in for the ‘Gourmet Meze Wrap’ soon (including halloumi, hummous and olives among other things).
Or maybe their ‘Gourmet Fish Finger Wrap’. Even though I feel anything that joins ‘gourmet’ and ‘fish finger’ is highly suspect. I’ll do it all in the name of Unilocal research.

Eatsies is a cutesy local café in Holborn. It’s light and airy AND they have glass partitions in front of the food that display a line of showcased food. This showcase greets you at the door and stretches to the cash register and when you’re ready to order you’re greeted with a smile. It’s a family run operation so they treat you well.
They serve breakfast and lunch. Their breakfast sandwiches are good and cheap (no more than £2.50 per bacon bun or sausage roll) and they are surprisingly filling. I don’t believe that I am fully human; I believe I am part cow. I must have five or six stomachs because I can ingest an amount of food equivalent to three times my body mass at any given repast. So when I saw that ostensibly meager bacon and egg muffin I scoffed. Please, I thought, this is like chicken feed. So I bought two at 8 o’clock in the morning and scarfed them down. Boy was I sorry. I was so bloated and full I couldn’t eat until midnight. Don’t let your eyes fool you, these portions are hefty!
