Unless you're trapped in a shopping centre, eventually you'll stumble upon somewhere which doesn't rhyme with nunchucks and neck a decent cup of coffee! However if you want THE BEST cup of coffee London can offer; head to Soho! Big names include Monmouth, Milk Bar/Flat White, Nude (if I do say so myself), ST. ALi and many more!

I would highly recommend Cafe Oporto on 62 Golborne Road and the Coffee Plant on 180 Portobello Road. Cafe Oporto is a Portuguese cafe, so not only do you savour the rich and frothy taste of the coffee, but you can also treat yourself to a typical Portuguese sweet! A bica or a galao are the regular requests in this classic Portuguese cafe. The Coffee Plant is a great, less traditional and more of an informal cool vibe on Portobello Road. However, this place is serious about java from the diverse coffee selection that one can purchase at the back! They are categorised by light, medium and dark roast… Moreover, they have coco, which if you put a touch of into your coffee, it is literally a match made in heaven… a taste of summer! Both cafes are phenomenal venues that serve an incredible cup of coffee, where one can enjoy amongst the locals in a friendly, informal vibe.

However, just knowing that St. Ali (one of Melbourne's best coffee-roasting cafés) has opened in our fine Clerkenwell means I'm actually looking forward to moving home now... . Such incredible news, their blends are wonderful and the industry down here is very serious about all things coffee-related. Deep sigh! See you soon...
