I had walked past this place a few times and thought it was called "Fat Planet" and thought it was a weird name for a cafe, although perhaps quite honest... Anyway silly me - it's
Flat Planet and I think it could be a winner. I finally went in today and wasn't really super hungry but luckily the lovely woman behind the counter offered me bite size samples of two of their flat breads. Maybe I should take a step back before I start describing them - this place specialises in wheat free spelt flatbreads with a variety of toppings (so very much not Fat Planet actually). Got it? Good. So the two I tried were both friggin' delicious - I can't wait to go back and try the full size versions. One was called El Diablo and was amazing - spicy chorizo, rocket and parmesan among other things. Yum. The other was called a Moroccan and was also super tasty - with sour cream, hummus and tabouleh. The one I am hanging out to try is their all day breakfast - pancetta & egg - sounds like hangover cure potential. I ordered a coffee and whilst they didn't have flat white size cups the very friendly barista made me one in a latte cup and just poured less milk. My coffee expectations were low but you know what, it was pretty good - too hot (as most places are) but really well steamed milk and pretty decent beans. If all "non-coffee expert" cafes/sandwich joints in London could make coffee like this it would be a wondrous thing. Even though I wasn't hungry I couldn't resist the chocolate brownies sitting on the counter (I mean I'm only human - stop judging me) so I had one - pretty darn fine. Also they were just so nice in there - I really want them to succeed, so get on down there and get chomping on a delicious flat bread, you know you want to.
