It’s the New Year, but we still need Coffee! So here is the first Coffee Shop review of 2023

Another of the Colicci Chain in another park of London, the staff were distracted by sorting out a refit of the kiosk, but it was as good a coffee as ever. There isn’t much else to say!
Rosso Potter’s Bar Station

On the platform, there is a little kiosk and a single Barista serving. It was late for a UK Coffee Shop – as in past 4 pm – but the Barista was pretty clueless and struggled to understand the order for a Black Americano with a little cold water (and an Oat Mocha), but we got there in the end, it was a decent coffee and they were large cups!

Another new location we recently have been to has been Potter’s Bar due to the dog having to go for treatment (see last week’s post). But while waiting for the bus, we saw a Caffè Nero and decided to test out our other favourite chain. It’s the standard interior and the Barista was really nice- a Typical Nero really good coffee, good service.

REALLY EXPENSIVE cakes and salads – For example, the slices of Panettone (at the front of the photo) were £7. The server had no idea what I was saying when ordering – the cold water issue again!

But we got there in the end and the coffee was… well, it was ok but not great, hence…
Esquire’s N1

Since this place opened at the end of 2022, we have been there a few times (we even have a loyalty card!) The cups are massive, and the staff is really friendly. There isn’t anything else to say when it’s all this good!

Well, there you go a good start to the year in terms of coffee shops.
A fairly short post in all, but what more do we need to say?!
Come back next week for more.
