Noamans Sandwich Barnormans Sandwich Bar

Nice little café at the bottom of my road, went for the first time with my mum and shared a cajun chicken and cheese panini, a coke and a cappucino, was all really good! Service really friendly, nice little place will definitely be going again!

Noaman’s is an independent café come bistro that seems to have established a local loyal clientele. Having lived in the rea for many years, it is one of the few places I can go, and usually bump into someone I know there.
I’ve only ever been in there for coffee and the occasional breakfast, but the lunchtime trade here is always busy. Everyone gets the sort of friendly greeting from the Mediterranean owners, as if they are a recognized and valued customer. In fact they are so welcoming, you get a guilty feeling if you have not been in for a while, as if you are letting the business down (self-​induced, nothing to do with the owners).
The breakfast is a basic English. I’ve had better and I’ve had worse. It’s just a consistent English breakfast. It’s strange; I love my coffee, but can only drink a cup of tea with an English breakfast. Am I the only one?
They do a lovely smooth latte at £1.80 for a small and £2.20 for a large, it is such good value. I love coming here for an unhurried, relaxing coffee, and usually catching up with someone I know to hear the local gossip. There is a constant stream of customers coming for take-​out sandwiches.
Writing this review has made me feel I should really come here more often, and support the local independent guys locally more often. I would hate to see businesses like this disappear, being muscled out by the larger chains. It really is a little gem.
I went to pay for my two lattes at £4.40. Gave them £10, and they gave me £6 change with a smile and a wink (see what I mean about feeling guilty, for not supporting it more?).
If you’re in the Maida Vale area and want lunch, it’s the ideal place to try out. It is only open for breakfast and lunch though.
