Garage Coffee Company was one of those coffee shops I had been meaning to get to for a while, but never planned to go until it happened spontaneously. I didn’t necessarily have high expectations for this spot, but I had heard a lot about it and figured it was worth trying when a few of…

Wright Bros. Brew and Brew- Austin, TX
I’ll be honest, when I first stepped into Wright Brothers Brew and Brew coffee shop, I was slightly intimidated. The dark lighting and grungy atmosphere were not necessarily welcoming. That said, the bearded baristas were friendly and happy dudes. This coffee shop was pretty conducive to getting work done, playing soft indie music, and most…
Houndstooth Coffee – Austin, TX
Houndstooth Coffee was one of the most welcoming coffee shops I have been to in a while. The second I walked into the door, smiling baristas welcomed me to the shop. The first thing that caught my eye was the beautiful personalized La Marzocco espresos machine with “Houndstooth” engraved on the front. In addition, the…
Coffee of the Month
I am crazy about naturally processed coffees, so I obviously loved Counter Culture’s The Natural. I first tried this coffee at the Counter Culture Training Center in Boston and got hooked. Unfortunately, this was a limited release coffee so it will not be on shelves any time soon, but this post is my encouragement to you…

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- Chameleon Cold Brew
This morning I tried Chameleon Cold Brew, a Fair Trade organic cold brew company based in Austin, Texas. Chameleon has a variety of flavored cold brew coffees as well as the original black cold brew. Personally, I prefer black cold brew because I am not a huge fan of sweet flavors, but I tried their…
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…
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…
