There is no rhyme or reason behind the locations of these shops, as we have recently been hopping around parts of London, and once there, we have sought after coffee.
Joon Cafe – Warren Street
Warren Street surprisingly has A lot of coffee shops for us to try, but after walking back and forth, we settled on Joon Cafe. A small, unassuming white-fronted shop, upon entry, you are greeted with white and tan wood, with bursts of oranges and yellows, giving a very clean and fresh vibe.
There was a range of food that was all incredibly tempting by smell alone, but we settled for a coffee.
Two of our usual Iced Oat Mochas to take away.
The Coffees were ok, I guess a bit of the standard non-descript, almost flat white tastes, but not undrinkable.
Andino Cafe – Archway
We noticed Andino the other day, finally! It seems like it has been there forever, but for some reason, we have never seen it before. Well, that all changed! We finally ventured into the Columbian Cafe, the outside matched our blog’s turquoise vibe, but inside it was a flourish of color and art.
The prices were pretty good value, especially the sweet treats and pastries, but we opted only for a coffee this time.
The coffees were ok but not outstanding, maybe because it was iced, it was very weak, so the taste was washed out a bit.
Crumb Vegan – Angel
We had seen Crumb on social media hundreds of times recently, but every time we had passed it had been shut. A couple of days ago, we made a detour and finally visited!
It is only a small shop front with 5 options for cookies, coffee, and/or ice cream. So we ordered one Bis Goes Off Cookie, which was White Chocolate, Biscoff, and Biscuit, and one Cashew Later, which was Coconut, Nut, and White Chocolate Cookie, and two Oat Iced Mochas.
The Coffee took forever to prepare! We were the only ones to order, and it still took 20 minutes to make it. We took the drinks to Islington Green to consume. The Coffees were inconsistent – One was really milky with no other flavor, and the other was bitter with a hint of water.
The Cookies were pretty good, though! Like we would buy them again! But never the Coffee!
So there’s a summary of the coffee we have sampled recently. Do you have any recommendations? Have you been to any of these? Leave a comment.
