This is where to ask questions, have a gossip and offer insider local tips… (a few glitches still in the forum, sorry, we’re working on it…)

Doron's is good.  Consistency is the real challenge, innit?  L'Angelo gets my vote.  Cafe in the Park coffee is terrible. 

Many years ago I was a coffee ninja and learned the art and science of the oils and the grind, the tamp, the extraction, the agitatated surfactants and the silk hazelnut crema, the wielding of the wand, the soft stretch and roll of the milk molecules, the whole milk factor, the cajoling of skimmed into velvet, temperature, density, weight.  Short cappucinos drunk like martinis; fast, while they're still smiling at you.  Ah, yes.  There were much more important things I should have been doing but there you go.  I should have been doing press-ups.  Or saving.  But it was a generational thing – they say.  "Bourgeouis beverage fetishim", I think they've termed it.   Like most imported food and drink fads though, in Britain it's done half-assed, without proper commitment, at three times the price.

Can you tell I've only had one cup today?  What a twat.

Bye bye!
