A few weeks back we moved the Coffee Shop Map to its own page and since then we have been reviewing the lists and updating them. In doing so, we realised we were missing a small but significant selection of coffee shops, which are now included. Today, however, we thought we would just tell you about the new selection on our Map!
We have the Coffee Map, which you may have seen, or if you haven’t, it’s on the tabs bar above and on its own little page! Since moving it, we have been revamping the list, reviewing all of the entries and going through all the coffee shops, tea shops and Boba Shops we have been to and reviewed over the last 8 years. Then seeing if each one still exists, if they are still operating under the same name, have been taken over, changed hands, or just turned into a florist or a house or something! Then we have added a brief review on Google Reviews with a link to our posts (so everyone can see the full review on the blog and see on our map).
In doing so, we have realised that a number (a large number) of the good, the bad and the downright disgusting have gone for good or bad, so have been moved to the RIP section. We have joined the Tea Shops in with the Boba/Milk Tea Shop Section, because Bird & Brew was really the only Tea Shop still in that section and it was pointless to be there!
Then we realised we had missed out a fair number of Coffee Shops completely! Where, which, why? You may ask! Well, ‘where’ is exactly the point. Though we have not travelled enough in our lives and not so much since doing this blog. We haven’t even left the UK in the last 4 years (since Covid), but we still have some coffee shops, bars and the like in places that we have been to. So now there will be a new selection on the map – The World Coffee section. We will add those places in Greece, Spain, Italy and… well, we will see where we end up next! But for now, if you head over to the map, you can see where in the world we have found coffee!
Meagre as our offering is at the moment – as a lot of the places we have been have currently closed – from this moment we will make sure we actually add Coffee shops as we go.
With that, we ask for your help: if you have a favourite coffee shop somewhere in the world that you want to tell us about, we may add it to the list (crediting you and your review) so that we can spread the love of Java all over the globe. So tell us your favourite, where it is, and why it is so good – the staff, the interior, the view, the choices, all of that and we will live the experience vicariously through you!!
