It's on this coffee shop that J.K. Rowling wrote the first adventures of his Harry Potter hero! The atmosphere is a student and a décontractée and your wallet will not want to crack for a bagel or a salad.

Just so so. Don’t like the desert, too sweet

This is the original Elephant House, which JK Rowling frequented when writing her book. Since then a fire made this place shut down and open a new red cafe right in the middle of Victoria Street.

'Miraculously the table which was JK's favourite spot to write at survived the fire and is now in the new location.' - said my tour guide

The Bailey's & hot chocolate drink is TO DIE FOR! super cute cafe, great for brooding if you can get a window seat

Avoid this tourist trap. Incredibly overpriced for low quality. I tried the "Butterscotch Beer" since it's marketed as being the real like equivalent of Butterbeer of Harry Potter fame. It's just cream soda. Nothing buttery, nothing like beer. Cold straight out the fridge. On the back it says "Cream Soda flavoured soft drink with sweetener" so it's not even real cream soda!

J’ai eu la chance de visiter cet endroit sans trop de monde. L’Apple Pie était excellent. C’est impressionnant de voir les photos de JK Rowling et la table qui a servi à l’écriture des HP.
