A Weekend in London
Even though I’m a Brit, London has always been a city that I’ve never really had the opportunity to venture to – only a handful of times in my 25 years! However, I wanted to make this trip different.

From the best surprises, to spending time with old faces, to sweaty sightseeing in the 35-degree sun, almost everything was covered. My job however was to search for coffee shops to conquer. So, here it is. A coffee lover’s rendition of a weekend in London. Continue reading A Weekend in London
Fika North
Even though I’ve been near Leeds for most of my life, Headlingley was always one of those areas I’d never really been. Brimming with students and young professionals alike, it has always been a place where individuality seems to flourish – and that also comes in the form of their coffee shops. Another of my colleagues had been raving about Fika especially, so I thought it may be appropriate for a little brunch and blog with friends. Continue reading Fika North

I’m excited to get my taste buds stuck into what there is to offer. Continue reading Laynes Espresso

Fábrica Coffee Roasters
Lisbon, the capital city of Portugal, one of the most colourful places I’ve ever visited to be honest. It has a whole different vibe. With this vibe, it also brings with it a whole other selection of cafés to explore. Lisbon has alternative and indie cafés just like any other city, but what is great is that there is always a traditional touch to them. Fabrica Coffee Roasters can be included in this list.
