Part bakery,part cafe,and wholly lovable,Babka has consistently turned out top-notch pastries,cakes and loaves for over a decade. Intimate and cosy,with dark-wood panelling and marble and brass counters,Babka is always worth the wait. The Polish- and Russian-inspired menu covers breakfast,which could be blintzes drizzled with citrus syrup and stuffed with cottage cheese and sultanas. For lunch there's a range of pies (pumpkin,basil and tomato) and sandwiches (nise) supplementing two blackboard menus,which might tout buttery mushroom dumplings or soft salmon fishcakes aromatic with dill.
