About this place
Napolitan or white spaghetti with satsuma-age? Lunch at PUNCH&JUDY offers the pleasure of choosing between a familiar café classic and a dish with a different combination of ingredients. The Napolitan is made with thin noodles, and one diner recalled enjoying it with coffee at lunchtime. The white spaghetti is seasoned with salt and topped with satsuma-age, onion and lettuce. It’s an option for those who want a change from the usual tomato sauce, as well as for anyone in the mood for a classic.
Meat sauce is another choice. The menu notes that it is served only while supplies of the sauce last, so it’s worth checking early if that’s what you have in mind.
After lunch, try the charcoal-roasted coffee. The menu lists a blend alongside beans such as Brazil, Guatemala and Kilimanjaro, making it a good choice for a coffee-centred break. Tea drinkers can choose from Ceylon, Earl Grey and Darjeeling. For dessert, consider the rare cheesecake: one review praised its moist, rich texture and the balance of sweetness in its base. The menu also offers a cake set with coffee or tea. An affogato, pairing espresso with vanilla ice cream, is another way to linger over the coffee’s finish.
