Princi: a mouth brothel for carbophiles

This place has been described as
"a mouth brothel for carbophiles". I have to agree. Don't go to the pub, just come here for your Heathrow Injection. I'd take thighs filled with
Green Olive Sfilatini over a pint of lager any day.

Princi 135-137 Wardour St London W1F 0UT

In my opinion, Princi is best-suited for take-away. For those seeking to linger awhile, to sample the cakes and pastries, I would recommend the
Cannoncini, though it would be hard to choose wrong in this place.
Italian is being spoken everywhere, plus there are cute men in uniform, so t
here's lots to look at while you're waiting to order.
For me, t
he only downside of Princi is its popularity. Case in point,
I'm being jostled out of my spot
by a Hello Kitty obsessive. This
Kitty needs cake too!

How was the coffee? Very good European-style caffè.

Most satisfying.
Did they have soy? Yes.
Would I go there again? Yes.
Should you go there? Yes. The coffee

will quicken your heart rate, and will thus be an excellent metabolic boost, which will no doubt aid in the digestion of the
Cannoncini
you will feel compelled to eat.
Any other points to note? T
he ordering system is a shambles, so get your pointy elbows ready for some jostling.
