"Another day, another opportunity to find a nice place to eat (and enjoy tea, of course!). Like many others, I often find myself window shopping and thinking, "That looks nice, I should come back and try it out." Today, however, I finally acted on my impulse. While wandering around Covent Garden at 8:15am (as one does!), I noticed that 'Paul' was open. Despite walking past this establishment numerous times and admiring it from the outside, I had never actually gone inside. Today was different, and I was pleasantly surprised. The staff were friendly, courteous, and professional. They didn't hesitate at all when I brought my service dog in with me – fantastic! The pastries and other food looked and tasted amazing. My dog Pippa and I thoroughly enjoyed the turkey "sausage" roll, although the assistant had warned me that it was quite sweet. The apple turnover was also delicious. The ambiance of the place was very relaxing, and I really enjoyed the atmosphere. The only thing that seemed slightly out of place was the Hawaiian version of 'Jingle Bells' playing in the background, but that was a minor issue in an otherwise enjoyable experience. I usually prefer independent coffee/tea shops, but 'Paul' is definitely worth a visit."
