Mae + Harvey, London 11-2017

I've actually been to M+H multiple times this year, approximately 4 in 6 months. That may not seem like so much for a local cafe, but for me that's actually quite a lot. The small corner shop with a tiny amount of seating space, the open kitchen, friendly staff and the plant pots along the street outside all add character. Not to mention they do a good matcha latte (heavy on the matcha, minimal on the sweet).

The menu is small but there's something for everyone.

- Oliver's Puff Pancakes (fresh orange, orange compote, yoghurt, sugar, candied nuts) £7.5 - they replaced the fresh orange with raspberries which was probably a good thing. The pancakes were fluffy and thick;
- Waffles with zatar-coated halloumi, spicy baked beans, yoghurt, fried egg, avocado, chives £10 - delicious ingredients mostly the soft egg and squeaky halloumi.

My favourite local cafe and lucky that it is near. The menu does slightly limit return trips over and over but the waffles will always be a good option.

The website has also mentioned taco Tuesday and China-street-food Friday nights which I may have to sample before leaving the area.
