2011-05-21 The Specialist: A excursion to some of London's best cafés

Would love to have done this - great day for it too.

Unfortunately dreadful hangover and childcare duties put paid to any chance.

Will try next time.

Did you have fun then?

How's my bill looking?

cheers econodog. I think I can safely say a fun day was had by one and all.
Highlights:
up and down those short sharp hills from Brixton to Brockley
espresso at Browns/Brockley
filter coffee & croissant at Monmouth
great company and of course
that fantastic weather!

Lowlights:
still trying to think of any

coffee doesn't usually give me much of a buzz, but after the three I had today I definitely was buzzing even by the time I'd rode home

I'm still so peeved that I missed out on this, here's hoping it gets run again!

Great day, thanks everyone for coming. Was great meeting new people, trying all the various coffee, visiting new cafes, and exploring new parts of London we didn't make it to every single one because we were taking our time drinking / chatting / rolling around.

Thanks bombcup for setting that all that coffee up for us. We had 9 drinks in total (2 didn't have) at the roastery I think? — if that's too much then let me know and I'll pay the difference. The Bolivian pourover was excellent and we demolished a bunch of financiers and pastries mmm

You'll have to join us on the next one.

Yeah mucho cheers to econodog for leading us around and arranging some great coffee. It was a really fun ride and a great day for it.

Highlights:
econodog's Chitty Chitty Bang Bang bike
latte at Monmouth and then chatting in the roastery surrounded by tens of thousands of pounds worth of beans
College Road (College Lane?) around Dulwich
all that bloody sunshine!

That's just a few...hope something else again soon

Anybody fancy riding this one again?
