Serving as Spain’s La Marzocco headquarters, True Artisan Cafe felt like a vintage espresso machine warehouse.

Barcelona Brews – Onna Coffee
Onna Coffee is a small shop located on a side street and Gràcia. Despite it being a bit difficult to find, it is definitely worth the effort. Right upon entering the shop, the friendly baristas greet you and start chatting with you about your day. This hospitality is most likely the reason why I noticed…
Tamper Cafe – Medford, MA
Tamper is a Tufts University hangout located right next to campus. This coffee shop has a full food menu and also serves beer and wine. While I am sure once it is later in the day it gets a bit louder, this cafe was really quiet when I went with my friend on a summer…
Coffee Cafe Roasters – Greenwich, CT
Coffee Cafe Roasters (known as CFCF for short) was the most crowded business in central Greenwich at 10 AM on a Monday morning. Most people were gathering with friends and although some people were doing work, it seemed very noisy to be able to get anything done. While researching places to go for coffee in…

To sum up Davis Street Espresso in one phrase: it’s coffee heaven. At first, when I walked into the Dallas café I thought to myself, “okay another rustic coffee shop”, but then I began to pay more attention to detail.

Alchemy – London, UK
To go along with the Coffee of the Month for June, I thought I would talk about the spot where I purchased those coffee beans. Alchemy was one of my favorite coffee shops in London. The shop was small (but not too small) and homey and the jazz music playing created a cool vibe. I really…
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.

Flat Black Coffee Company – Boston, MA
This Australian inspired coffee chain has five locations located in Boston and roasting facilities in Dorchester.
