Red Door cafe, Greenwich

Red Door cafe (thanks @Katereddoor for the image!)

Originally a gallery, Red Door in Greenwich has somehow managed to squeeze in a cafe and shop into its cute premises just outside of Greenwich Market.

Cosiness is therefore enforced, since it is soooo snug, and if it weren't for one of the best mochas - if not the best mocha - I've ever slurped, you could argue that perhaps you're a little too squeezed in.

Thankfully the chirpy table service, award-winning brownies and the aforementioned coffee more than make up for this, and it's definitely one of Greenwich's nicest and most welcoming spots. They do sarnies as well as cakes, and I'll certainly be taking my parents there next time I'm in the area.

Cosy rating: 7/10 - it's all charmingly rickety and you'll have no choice but to get to know your fellow patrons!
Secret rating: 7/10 - It seemed to have a healthy, steady flow of custom, and everyone who wanted one of the few seats available was not disappointed.
Best bits: The coffee (properly hot, too. Lukewarm drinks = pet hate) and the brownies.
Worst bits: On a busier day you might have to try your luck elsewhere, but watch this space as they're hoping to open up their upstairs living room to customers soon, and have lots of other nice plans in the pipeline.
