Cabinet food is often best early in the day, so it helps to check how fresh the hot items look before ordering. Milkshakes and good coffee are a welcome extra for a relaxed lunch. When you choose a bakery cafe, look at the portions, how hot the plate is, and whether the staff are happy to help you choose.
