London Coffee Shops

21 May 09

I had a nice visit to London last month and we had our customary visit to a few coffee shops there. We usually go into flat white which I first visited a few years ago. It really inspired me at the time, I hadn’t really seen anyone do latte are before and after that I had to learn it. The taste of the first cappuccino that I had there really opened my eyes to how good coffee can be. Ths time though we went to the Milk Bar which is assosiated with them, I’m not sure how exactly but it is similar in the service and coffee but the decor is different, really cool and cosy. I love the door closing mechanism withh the portafilters, a nice touch.

They are now using Square Mile Coffee not Monmouth and it was very nice. I went for a cap and then an espresso, those guys are good at making coffee. I love it that the main thing is the coffee and there is not much else on show, no big fridges or anything, stylish but independent looking.

The next place we went was fernadez and Wells (see pic), the food here is awsome for a coffee shop, I had a quick look at the Deli round the corner but then went to the coffee shop. It all looks so tempting being laid out in from of you like that! I had probably the best panini I have ever had there, and a coffee, and a nice chat with the barista there, feeling pretty caffiened-up by that point! It is a beautiful looking shop, very simple but quality, that goes for the food aswell

I look forward to my next trip…
