Strolling through Soho in the sunshine the other day I spotted a glorious new shop - Crosstown Doughnuts. Having already used up my lunch hour I came back to the office and hit their name into Google.

Now I’m a fan of Krispy Kreme, but I’ve been dying to try something new: enter Crosstown - offering a wide variety of original doughnut flavours such as Creme Brûlée, Seven Berry Glaze and Peanut Butter and Berry, to name a few. Aside from the wacky collection they present, what really impressed me was that they are made from sourdough - the new ingredient that seems to have taken over the bakery world.

Now you can forget about the £12 mixed dozen you’re used to, as a box from Crosstown will set you back around £30. But if you fancy a sweet treat to satisfy your afternoon cravings and don’t intend on buying a box for your office, then head on over to Crosstown - you won’t regret it.

Lunchtimes can become a bit boring when you have nowhere new to go to, and we’re all guilty of sticking to what we know and having the same old sandwich/salad everyday.

So when we saw an advertisement for The Melt Room we just had to give it a try. And as grilled cheese lovers, we were not in the least bit disappointed. There were several varieties to choose from, including two sweet options: strawberries and cream or Nutella and mascarpone. We still weren’t totally able to venture into unknown territory so we had their ‘Classic’ and ‘BBQ Chicken’ sandwiches. The bread had a fantastic crunch and it wasn’t oozing with oil - just amazing cheese.

Treat yourself to a more exciting meal and hit The Melt Room next lunchtime to see what all the fuss is about.
