Market Cafe

This small cafe is on white Cross Street with Banner Street. White Cross Street is a foodie street with food stalls out most days. I popped in for a quick bacon roll towards the end of the day. It was quiet, but I imagine it gets rammed at lunchtime. The food was OK, and the prices seemed in line with the area.

This is a friendly, cheap eatery in the middle of Clerkenwell that outdoes its competitors. Along with friend Tim I arrived late for lunch (about 3pm), but the staff made us welcome despite being about to close. There's nothing exotic on the menu, but they have a nice range of toasted sandwiches, salads and typical fry-ups. Tim chose the latter with a coffee, but had just mushrooms on toast with tea. We both thought our meals were delicious, and the bill with drinks was only twelve pounds. Great value, with a friendly family atmosphere.
