I enjoyed leo's coffee ride very much, though I was still buzzing at 10pm!

Oh I know Rob! Double-sway!
(...but by "know", I mean I say hi and chat to sometimes...)

I know Rob, Fabio and (i have a hunch) one of their investors. I've also just booked out notes for my 'leaving london' party. TBC.

I've added myself to the list, but all depends what day it is.
There are few places I'd like to try on that list, but will try to avoid having 5 coffees, it's way above my limit in one day :)

Not going to be on the ride, but surprised not to see Nude on the list - plus nice and close to lots of places for beers

I don't think there is a list yet.

Very wise, I am sometimes surprised at how many people I have met who suffer from anxiety, restlessness, OCD or depression, yet drink copious amounts of coffee.

My suggestion would be the following – to give a good spread across town and drink from different roasteries at each stop:

Workshop, Clerkenwell
Caravan, Kings Cross
Ginger and White (Square Mile), Hampstead
Nude, Soho
Federation, Brixton
Monmouth, Borough
Coleman, Bermondsey
Somewhere serving Climpson, maybe Haggerston Espresso Room?

It would be good to get some Hasbean in there aswell, although I'm not sure where serves it other than Camden Coffee House (not ideal) and Coffeeworks Islington.

and correct list :)

^ We've not had 27 people vote in the poll yet - are most people happy to go wherever?

Clearly.

Tapped & Packed, The Espresso Room, Taylor St Baristas and Fernandez & Wells.

I always want to like Taylor St Baristas, but fuck me it takes them 45 minutes to make a coffee.

It's nice coffee mind, but still.

Not had coffee from Taylor St Baristas yet, but I like them already, ever since finding this video: http://vimeo.com/15104279
Makes me laugh every time!

Clearly.

Enough of your cheek. Srsly.

Do I add these new suggestions to the poll?

It would be good to get some Hasbean a well

yes on hasbean (notes has some), no on monmouth (if you like monmouth lets visit Wild & Wood (Holborn) who sell the same coffee at half the price. Yes, that's what you borough-based fools are paying for your hipster staff.

Thinking about a loop around London that's nice to ride I propose something akin to:

Caravan, Kings Cross
Workshop, Clerkenwell
Prufrock, Leather Lane
Ozone, Old St.
Nude, Brick Lane
Flat White, Soho
Beas of Bloomsbury, The City
Notes, Covent Garden
Federation, Brixton

Possibly finishing at the Coach & Horses or 'Wests' as it's known.

that is quite possibly the best video I've ever seen. Please do watch everyone.

Ben, have you seen the list and our poll? It's getting a bit confusing with people suggesting there own routes now. I have added these newer suggestions to the poll but maybe I should scrap that idea? I think we felt places like Flat White and Nude were a bit small to accommodate us although I agree they'd be good locations.

sorry alex: I didn't read the whole thread through. I think you need to strike a balance (as I'm sure you will) between coffee, size and the route. But also you might want to consider a spot of lunch :)

I'll leave you to it.

Enough of your cheek. Srsly.

Where's the poll?

I wasn't being pissy. Just trying to accommodate what has been discussed over in the coffee lovers thread.

No need to be pissy, missy.

Hey MissMouse if people start getting all uppity with you about routes and coffee just tell them there's a secret Bean About Town near Croydon and they'll end up doing laps of Ditchling instead. Suckers.
