AYDA'S

Ayda's is the kind of place you stumble upon and immediately feel like you’ve found your new favorite. Tucked away in Putney, it’s got coffee and cakes for days and a menu that makes you want to eat everything. Tina went for a tuna and cheddar melt toastie, which sounds posh for a café, and Jodi was all about that San Sebastián with a double espresso – a combo that’s practically a hug in a mug. The atmosphere? Imagine artsy vibes with paintings and pottery, all while sipping your favorite brew. But don’t even think about trying to take the comfy sofa seats — staff apparently have dibs on those.

Service is on point, with friendly faces all around. Even if A Fung thinks the seating is at a premium, you can still enjoy decent food in a cozy atmosphere. Plus, if you like places that let you browse art while you sip your flat white, this is a solid shout. Just watch out for the limited seating — you might end up a little too cozy with the main road if you’re not quick enough. ☕🎨
