A new cafe (178 on New Cross Road) opened over the road last month, it looks alright from the outside and I'm out of beans so thought I'd give it a try. If anyone else has the same idea, don't.
They're serving HB Jailbreak so I had hopes of at least a half decent cup. Just watching the guy make the drink I could tell it wasn't going to be great (holding the portafilter at arms reach and tamping 'mid air' was a highlight). The result being a flatwhite that looks like it was made by a vending machine and one that tastes only marginally better.
Time for a ride over to Monmouth for a bean resupply.
