Crome London

"This small, all-day spot on James Street specialises in french toast. You’ll be grateful for Crome when you’re walking around Oxford Street after dinner, looking for a sit-down dessert, or when you get a french toast craving any time of the day. The thick slices of toast are fried in butter, while maintaining a perfectly fluffy centre, and topped with things like caramelised banana and Biscoff spread, or Nutella sauce and crushed wafer curls. " - rianne shlebak, sinead cranna

"We like our french toast to be fluffy and topped with things like melted chocolate and ice cream. And this all-day spot on James Street goes a step further by making very fluffy, very delicious french toast topped with things like Nutella, brownies, and caramel popcorn, or Biscoff and salted caramel, or Kinder Bueno bars that melt and turn into a creamy, crunchy mess. Basically, it’s the place to go when you want a proper sit-down dessert in central." - Heidi Lauth Beasley, Jake Oliver, Rianne Shlebak, Daisy Meager

"We like our french toast to be fluffy, topped with things like melted chocolate and ice cream, and available until 11pm. And Crome on James Street ticks all three boxes. Toppings include Nutella, brownies, and caramel popcorn, or Biscoff and salted caramel, or Kinder Bueno bars that melt and turn into a lovely creamy, crunchy mess. There are a bunch of covered tables outside, as well as a couple inside. The french toast is all around the £13 mark, but it’s the sort of thing you’ll want to share between two anyway." - rianne shlebak

"This all-day spot on James Street specialises in French Toast, and by that we mean the menu is literally just French toast, both savoury and sweet, and it’s the place you’ll be grateful for when you’re walking around Oxford Street after dinner looking for a sit-down dessert, or when you get a salted caramel French toast craving any time of the day. The space is small but mighty, with sofa seating, neon signs, and towers of French toast. Yes, it's all very Instagrammable, but it’s also a lot more than that. The thick slices of toast are fried in butter, while maintaining a perfectly fluffy centre, and then topped with things like caramelised banana and biscoff spread, or stuffed with Nutella and topped with brownie pieces and caramel popcorn. Yes, it’s OTT, and yes, it’s delicious. photo credit: Crome" - Rianne Shlebak
