Once again, because there is literally nothing else to do, hopefully that will change soon! But in the meantime, we have been trying independent coffee shops for you guys, so here is what we have found…
THE GOOD
Suda Coffee – Mornington Crescent
Now, usually when there is a sign saying “Best Coffee” we would automatically know that the coffee will be abysmal. This was the exception: a small takeaway coffee shop that serves lunch and cake to go. The sign was in both Hangul and English, so you know we just had to go in! The woman making the coffee was really nice, smiley, happy, and talkative. The coffee…. well, two soy mochas; they were delicious!!! So I would be inclined to agree: Camden’s best coffee! We will be back to fill out our new loyalty card.
커피는 맛있었습니다. 감사합니다
THE BAD
Urban Baristas – Wapping Station
Do you want to take a walk back to the 1980’s? As you are walking past Wapping Station, almost every person is dressed like that (I managed to take a picture of people who were dressed normally); it’s generic, it’s trendy, it’s very much like Clerkenwell or Dalston. So naturally, the coffee is absolutely vile. Not undrinkable but despite ordering a Soya Mocha, we got a bland latte. The cake was 6 pounds for a single crumb and the Pact coffee filters, which are 3 pounds everywhere else, were 28 here.
THE UGLY
Devotion Coffee – Essex Road
We have been seeing a huge queue outside of this little coffee shop since it opened. Well, we decided to check it out and then walked away. Teeny tiny itty bitty cups that were really bloody expensive. With that size and price, you know it will taste like burnt rubber and the death of all beans. So we avoided it like the plague.
So that’s that for now. Just a short post to keep us going; hopefully there will be more things to do/see soon.
