    A few months ago Cafe 67 became Arianna's Cafe (on the corner of Fonthill and Lennox Road I think).

    I've been a few times and really liked it. Has anyone else been?

    The blue-berry pancakes are tops!

    Walked past it this morning.

    Fairly predictably I spelt the name wrong - it's Ariana's Cafe

    I actually went for breakfast on Saturday on your recommendation James. Best fry up I've had in ages, even better than the Front Room's offerings. Highly recommended :)

    That's a big call. Will have to try it out.

    @Four Eyes - Glad it didn't disappoint.

    I also had an Ariana's fry up on Saturday

    Went there this morning for coffee after the school run. I like the place - if you sit outside, it's almost like being on holiday.

    I do like it that they have individual packets of sweetener from M&S. Unless M&S have recently launched into the catering trade, I can only assume they've been NICKED from the equally splendid Cafe Revive!

    Also - my (great) coffee (Americano with warm milk on the side) was £1.10.

    i like the place too. good veggie breakfast (with hash browns and grilled halloumi!) and pretty decent coffee. plus fewer yuppie larvae than good for food. i also like the pile of assorted newspapers from assorted days over the past few weeks…

    How are the hash browns?

    'U', are you also from across the pond, lol.

    Are they those yucky good for a hangover hash browns or are they real homemade (more like a rosti) ones?

    Unaesthetic is a Yorkshire lad. Though he doesn't have the hideous accent, thank god.

    The hash browns are not homemade, but they are lovingly deep-fried by the Ariana chef.

    Sweet lord, never, ever call a Yorkshire accent hideous: some of them are, but there are some rather nice ones.

    Do you have one of those American accents?

    "hideous accent"

    Here's some soap. Wash thee gob art.

    Watch it. My father was a Yorkshireman. Tight as a wrestler's jockstrap too. Hair shirt specially seeded with thistles.

    Interestingly he moved away from Yorkshire as soon as he could, lost the accent and never went back. I think that says something.

    I lived the orange juice but that was it. They used horrible marg on the toast and all the ingredients were cheap and it was really expensive. That was a year ago and I never went back, shame as it is 2mins from where I live. Maybe it has got better since then! May go back to check it out.

    i'm really not. i only ever lived in y*rkshire for 10 years, and i'm only a couple of months off being in london for that length of time. to be honest i am proud(ish) of being a northerner, but in that strange way that all the northerners who are really, really bloody glad to be living in london are. and i don't have the accent.
  15.  
    I'm sorry, but it is a hideous accent. Wait. No. I'm not sorry. So there.

    And yes, I do have a Yankee accent, but it's a bit muddied with traces of Russian and Londoner.

    the best ever mash-up accent was when björk was going out with goldie, and she had this strange chirpy icelandic pixie/saahff laahndaahn junglist massive thing going on.

    Joss Stone must come close, surely?

    Or lovely Madonna's accent.

    Jan Molby should get an honourable mention in any mash-up accent contest. And Peter Schmeichel.

    Went there for breakfast. Love the decor/atmosphere/old newspaper supplement archive but very disappointed with the food (I'm sure the mushrooms came out of a tin). Worst of all was the brown sauce, of which I am proud to be a connoisseur. It wasn't Heinz, which is not a crime in itself, of course. Except they had decanted it into old Heinz brown sauce bottles - that most heinous catering crime.

    Heinz brown sauce?

    Is that even legal over here?

    Surely a connoisseur would want HP, a dilettante might settle for Daddies, but who drinks/eats Heinz?

    (Is it nice, I might try it based on your recommendation.)

    It's got to be HP, surely? In the same way as ketchup has to be Heinz and mustard has to be Colmans.

    HP! HP! HP! HP! HP! HP! Stupid me, of course I meant HP. I had Heinz in mind, because I was also considering complaining about how the baked beans weren't Heinz but didn't want to whinge on. And now I have. I am an HP sauce connoisseur, but an air-headed one.

    Well HP is made by Heinz so in a way you're all right, isn't that lovely!

    I remember spending a rainy summer holiday afternoon in a greasy spoon in Blackpool playing a game made up by my dad which was 'Guess what the HP in HP sauce stands for?'. It must have used up a good 20 minutes. I think he was desparate. Only like it in the Scottish 'salt and sauce' context when it's really watered down with vinegar. Sacrelige, I know.

    Went there for brekkie today - think that on the whole it beats Front Room. Good points: mushrooms - excellent, clearly not from a tin; hash browns; very good quality bacon and sausages; nice place to sit. Downs: very bad baked beans! definitely not Heinz - criminal; weak coffee. The OJ was excellent though. I'd definitely go back, but someone really needs to have a word with them about their beans.

    you get a higher standard of child in ariana's than in front room. early this afternoon there was perhaps the cutest baby i have ever seen in there, making no noise whatsoever. if any of you were its parents, i apologise for being so goggly at it. and well done on producing such a fine specimen.

    Personally I always exclude beans from any sort of breakfast for exactly that reason. Everything gets covered in cheap yucky orange sauce and ruins it.

    @ Sophie. It was probably me.

    @ tosscat. Beans on the side is always a good compromise I find.

    possibly but only ever for extra mushrooms. Never, never for stinky horrid hash browns!
