Never tried ma’amoul before? Well, you’re in for a lovely time. The dense buttery biscuits, filled with everything from dates to strawberry marshmallows, are the specialty at this family-run Lebanese cafe. You could get a six-pack to go, but it’s better to settle in for a chat. The hospitality is warm, the coffee is strong, and the pistachio ma’maoul becomes magical when warmed up, served with spoonfuls of clotted cream.

Best for: Modernised Middle Eastern treats.
