Kaffeine – London, UK

In my search for the best flat white in London, Kaffeine’s was definitely one of the best (if not the best). This spacious coffee spot serves Square Mile Coffee, roasted in East London. I really enjoyed this cafe because it had a really relaxed vibe and enough seating (indoors and outdoors) for people who wanted…

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…

The service…

Department of Coffee and Social Affairs – London, UK
