“Apostrophe fuses authentic boulangerie-patisserie food with a strong café culture and a modern, cosmopolitan environment,” or so their website says. Another chain across London, one of my friends called it an upscale Pret. But really, it’s in another league from Pret. It’s more hip, chic, and young.
All of their sandwiches are freshly made each morning. They have a great selection of unique combinations that you probably won’t be able to find elsewhere. It’s a bit pricey for an American student, with the cheaper sandwiches being just under 3 pounds. However, the freshness and taste is worth the money.
I went to the one in Russell Square, a 5 minute walk from campus. To save some money, order it for take-away and take advantage of the benches and fountains in Brunswick Centre. It’s beautiful on a sunny day. I ordered a Normandy, which was a simple sandwich of pear, brie, and watercress leaves sandwiched between two slices of walnut bread. The sweetness of the pear is delicately balanced by the nuetral and somewhat salty taste of the brie. In all, it’s a winning combination, and I’d give it a 9 out of 10.
