Cafe Eterno, 34 Neal Street, Covent Garden


A friend of mine introduced me to this place, she described it as a " cute cafe with healthy food". Since that day I have been a regular at Cafe Eterno. Starbucks, Cafe Nero and Costa has got nothing compared to this little cafe with a lot of character. Its a place that I recommend for a great cup of coffee, ( try the mocha, if your cutting back on the caffeine intake). This place serves fair trade certified coffee, juice and of course divine chocolate. It also has a board filled with options for sandwiches and salads. Though I do love the Tuna panini served here , I would still strongly recommend trying out the Hummus and Olives with fresh Pita bread. If there is two of you, why not split a portion of nachos served with melted sour cream.
Besides the amazing food and location, the cafe does have a mission and I don't just mean serving great food at affordable prices. The cafe is a Christian cafe and its theme is Christianity. The walls of cafe include paintings by local artists and Christian sayings as well. Its a family run business, and the people are warm, friendly and extremely dedicated to this place. Its a great place to catch up with friends, read a book or talk to one of the people working about the history of the building and organization. Cafe Eterno is the anti thesis to the image of majority of Covent Garden. Cafe Eterno is not just a "tourist trap", it is friendly, healthy and affordable.
