The Shoap - Review - Angel - London - The Infatuation

"The Shoap has become the de facto meeting spot for Scots living in London. But even those who don’t get a heavy hit of nostalgia while mainlining crispy-edged macaroni pies will find a lot to like at this Scottish cafe-deli in Angel. It’s not fancy, and it won’t blow anyone away, but warm fuzzy feelings are guaranteed while eating one of the cheese and onion-stuffed pieces (sandwiches) from here. The Glasgow morning rolls improve the bleakest of commutes—our order is a crispy roll with a square sausage, tattie scone, bacon, and lots of brown sauce—and pints of Tennent’s and Scotch pies are a good way to spend any weekday evening. The setup is straightforward but friendly regulars, welcoming staff, and comforting dishes make it hard to pry yourself away to catch your train. photo credit: Kestin photo credit: Kestin" - Sinéad Cranna
