le tour de buzz
I promised to organise a coffee crawl a while ago, so here it is.
A whole bunch of cafes, topped off with a cocktail or two at 69 Colebrooke Row to calm the nerves.
The initial plan was to do all 8 cafes on the disloyalty card, but as The Whitecross Coffee Cart isn’t there on Saturdays, lets start the loop at Prufrock Coffee.
We’ll cut the west London cafes off and you can visit them at your leisure to fill up the card.
So in true boys own style, the adventure starts at Prufrock - 140 Shoreditch High st (that’s A on the map) at 10:30 this Saturday (the 23rd)
I’m in two minds as to transport, bikes or feet, so bring your bike, and if people want to walk you can push it, but if people want to ride then you’ll have to get a backie!
So, after a bit too much enthusiasm the night before, we didn’t manage finish the tour, but we did get to the first three.
Prufrock was pretty tricky to find as it is actually nestled into a super-wanky clothes shop (jealousy caused by not being able to afford things probably) without a sign. The coffee was really dense and full of flavour. I’ll leave Seb to make comparisons between the different cafes.
Taylor St Baristas was running some training, so it was good to drink a flat white and listen to people getting developed in a useful way. They have lammingtons, caramello koalas and anzac biscuits so the Australians will be happy.
Nude was a nice cafe, but not mind blowing, it might have been that our minds were already blown though.
We need to organise another attempt at the north face of caffeination soon, especially as we lived through this one!
