Coffee Geek And Friends - Specialty Coffee

Months ago, my fiance and I came here on a trip from the US. We shared a Malacca latte and still use it as a way to measure how good things are. Today I had tea that was great and he asked if it's as good for tea as the Malacca latte was for coffee, he called it a 10 out of 5, and placed it in his top 3 culinary experiences. I don't know how but they managed to make it dairy free, super smooth, not really acidic, and it didn't upset my (very sensitive) stomach or give me the jitters. I think it was probably prepared by a wizard. Maybe I'm overhyping a little bit, but I can say that easily it's the best coffee Ive ever had and while I'm not a huge coffee aficionado I've had my fair share of different coffees. When we go back to London, we will stopping by to have another :)

Popped in on a Saturday morning to meet a friend, coffee was really good and they were happy to do an iced, even in winter. Lots of the cakes are vegan, I enjoyed the lemon muffin, and it was moist and fluffy even without eggs. The staff were sweet and brought your order over, which is always appreciated. 4 stars over 5 because the seating layout is not great. It's a small shop, and has a couple really big tables that take up most of the open space. There's a nice little seat in the back corner, but otherwise a two has to take high stools at a bar type table or squish by the counter. But still, a good vibe and great coffee which is really the point. It's just round the corner from Costa too so why not upgrade your beverage with a better brew AND support an independent business!

Absolutely wonderful experience. I wasn't expecting much because I imagined it as a regular coffee shop, but was so pleasantly surprised by the coffee, the food, and the staff! I expected a very mediocre and overpriced avocado toast that's going to be unsatisfying, but look at this avocado toast! That's like a WHOLE avocado! I definitely recommend dropping by to treat yourself a bit!

Found these guys just around the corner from my blood donation session at Winchester Cathedral. From the reviews and first impressions it looked a shoe-in for another 5star rating. Love the atmosphere and choice (especially the very tantalising treats at the counter & two sizes of Flat White) ... very tough to grab just a drink. So .... the review reflects all the above plus the influence of a slice of toasted banana bread (with dark chocolate pieces) and “butter”. Flat White - 3.5🌟- great flavour to the espresso but not enough body/punch) ... I took the larger size which might be the issue Banana Bread - Ka-ching - 5🌟 (although I must add the proviso that the butter was not the hoped for pure butter with a hint of salt ... which would have been pure bliss on the slice but the blended soft “tastes just like butter” version. I look forward to a future visit and updating my rating to (hopefully) 5🌟
