Carlos Coffee Kitchen

Within the cbx building in a smallish unit serving expected range of fresh coffees and some cold drinks. Prices are reasonable,the coffee for me was a little on the mild side but they have a tempting array of panini and flatbread to eat along with a selection of cakes. Not a very big seating area primarily confined to a corner but there is a few seats outside in the cbx concourse .

Visited here last week with my girlfriend. Very nice independent cafe that we had no ideas was here. I asked the staff how long it had been open, expecting an answer of less than a year but no! They've been here 3 years! They have a small but well stocked selection of cakes and savouries. We had the croissants filled with cheese. Accompanied with an iced coffee, tea and banana loaf. All of this seemed freshly made and was very nice, it marked around £12 but for an independent place I'm happy to pay that much, which may be similar at chain coffee houses? The staff were chatty and genuinely friendly and polite, will be coming back! I think they should do some more advertising, either Internet, local radio or TV as I say I had no idea it was here and wouldn't if I didn't subscribe to a blog called whats the squeeze (mk based)

The sandwich is great and the horseradish demands your attention, making this a sandwich not for the faint of heart. I also upgraded my fries to the dirty fries, $3 well spent. The house made Sriracha ketchup compliments them nicely. I washed down my entree with two Russian River Brewing beers: Pliney the Elder (almost always on tap her) and their Sanctification.
