    I'm currently sitting in Ariana's Cafe, on the corner of Fonthill Road and Lennox Road. According to the guy behind the counter, it's been open for a year. How is it that I've never been here before?

    So far, I've only tried the coffee, which is surprisingly drinkable. The music is a bit shite, but at least it's quiet. The fridges are a tad too loud, but now I'm just being picky. The best thing is that for a good half an hour, I was the only person here.

    From now on, Good for Food will be my socialising cafe. Ariana's is my new work cafe. I just need to learn to turn off wi-fi....

    Yeah it's good isn't it?

    I did mention it ages ago (http://www.stroudgreen.org/discussion/622/ariannas-cafe-sp/#Item_5) but spelt the name wrong...

    Ah, so you did. Sorry. I had done a title search, but it didn't come up. I'll have to try the food, too.

    The man is very nice. After I posted my last comment, the music improved dramatically with a bit of Bowie. It has since gone downhill again with James Blunt. Ugh.

    Now I'm going to be paranoid, looking out of the windows...

    So I'm back at Ariana's today. Trying to get some work done, but I keep getting distracted by thoughts of monkeys.

    I've just had a lovely grilled veg and mozzarella pannini. It came with some salt and vinegar crisps and a pile of lettuce, masquerading as a salad. Overall, not bad at all.

    I shall have to come back for brunch.

    Just tried this cafe out after reading this thread.
    I had a tuna jacket potato and my boyfriend had a paninni. It was very tasty but most of all I liked the atmosphere sitting outside. The waitresses were friendly but very busy. We also had a fruit salad which was just divine on a hot day like today. So I'd definitely recommend it and go back.
