Limos

Limos is right across from Carmenta - see two posts ago - and is

obviously a slight revamp of its predecessor, Effessa, which was trying a bit too hard to be a Greek taverna.

Now, it's trying too hard to be a funky Spanish bar. 

But that's actually okay.

There is A LOT of seating inside, which is nice considering the queues at these places are getting a bit out of control come 1pm.

The menu is remarkably similar to the last one, big and pricey. They do fancier coffees than many of the other breakfast joints and have desserts as well.

It's lively and well-lit, it has bathrooms and wi-fi. The service was disarmingly quick and alert.

No mistakes!

Back in its Effessa incarnation... well, maybe it doesn't bear mentioning now...

...but just imagine a quadrupled bill, and staff who almost literally ran away from us.

Not so at the new and improved Limos. Three of us trucked down to

check it out. 

Straight away, Bella's perfect "flat white" coffee brought tears of hungry gratitude to our eyes.

Gozleme was yummy (not as big as at Siyah, but flavourful)

(It's nice too not to have it already cut up into bitesized pieces for you.)

Potato filling is the best option all the way - although I still await "Mexican" jalapeno gozleme. 

One of these days...
