As a coffee lover it can also be tough sometimes to be a brunch lover as well. Do I chose a restaurant based on its coffee or its food? The worst is feeling like you have to choose one or the other, but Proper Bagel, located near Belmont University it Nashville, has solved this problem….

Cold Brew Review- Larry’s Cold Brew
For my last cold brew I decided to try a concentrate just to change things up. While it takes a little more effort to drink cold brew from concentrate, I liked the idea of doing something to prepare my coffee since I am so used to brewing every morning. The second I took the first…
Cold Brew Review – Barista Parlor
Now that Barista Parlor is serving their own coffee, I decided in honor of National Cold Brew day yesterday it was time to try their take on this drink. As usual, Barista Parlor did not disappoint. This was another cold brew that did not compromise flavor or quality. This cold brew was not fruity or…
Cold Brew Review – Revelator Coffee Company
I was really feeling the heat in Nashville yesterday and decided to walk over to Revelator located in Hillsboro Village for some cold brew coffee. I hadn’t tried it in a while, but to my pleasure Revelator’s cold brew was refreshing and full of flavor. The best part of this coffee is its naturally sweet and floral…
Cold Brew Review – Slingshot Coffee
Slingshot’s ready-to-drink cold brew coffee tasted a lot like a coffee stout, to my surprise, at first. As I kept drinking I realized most of the flavor comes from the aftertaste which is slightly woodsy and smokey. The flavor is not super strong, but it is slightly bitter and takes some getting used to. Overall,…
Workshop Coffee- London, UK
Located in a back corner of the Marylebone neighborhood in London, Workshop Coffee is a long and narrow coffee shop surrounded by a small shopping and dining area. This shop was crowded with people sitting on benches along the walls as well as a bench outside. I was intrigued by the effort people made to provide…
Changes at Barista Parlor
Barista Parlor started roasting their own coffee pretty recently. In the past year they have included it on their menu along with other well-known roasters like Verve, Intelligentsia, Stumptown, and others. As of two weeks ago, Barista Parlor has started serving exclusively their own coffee. While it’s sad to lose a place where customers had so…
Timberyard- London, UK
Walking into the Seven Dials location of Timberyard, the coffee shop felt small and crowded, yet when I looked around the place was actually large and size, but was just filled with people. In addition, there was space downstairs dedicated for work meetings or studying. The first thing that caught my eye at Timberyard was…
Shoreditch Grind – London, UK
Located right by Old Street Station, Shoreditch Grind is a grungy coffee spot that epitomizes the neighborhood of Shoreditch in London. The grungy, artsy coffee shop blasts rock music while people sip on espresso and relax with friends. The space is pretty large, with seating inside and outside, and resembles a concert venue. The service…
Department of Coffee and Social Affairs – London, UK
With eight locations scattered around London, (seven that are accessible to the public) Department of Coffee and Social Affairs is definitely the coffee shop where edgy Londoners enjoy hanging out. The Covent Garden location was pretty small and crowded, but was able to cater to its many customers by offering outdoor seating and a little…
Coffee of the Month
Despite the fact that I have never even been on the west coast, I am a huge fan of Verve Coffee Roasters. Based in Santa Cruz, CA this company really knows how to roast a coffee full of flavor. My favorite is Miraflores, an Honduran single origin coffee with taste notes of red apple, toffee,…
Flat Black Coffee Company – Boston, MA
This Australian inspired coffee chain has five locations located in Boston and roasting facilities in Dorchester. When I first walked into Flat Black Coffee the bright colors created a warm atmosphere on a freezing winter day in New England. The baristas were really friendly and explained the history of the company to us. The owners fell…
