Pre-Departure: Places I want to try in London!

 COFFEE IN LONDON

For my final project, I am doing a portfolio highlighting a few different coffee shops across the city of London. I want to analyze a few different factors contributing to the overall experience of the coffee shop including price, flavor options, non-coffee alternatives, and the overall ambience.  

Prufrock cafe is a long standing local coffee shop that has been refurbished and is one of the most popular in the city today!

Monmouth coffee was one of the first speciality roasting companies to arrive in the 1990s with the Borough Market. It is famous for its renaissance of cafe culture. 






A flat white is the most popular coffee order in London! It is a 6oz beverage with espressso and frothed milk at the top. I am looking forward to trying this in London!

Tourist Day: Exploring the beautiful city of London

Image
 Exploring London Today was a very busy and touristy day! We started the day with a two-hour walking tour of the city of London. A few highlights include the National Gallery, the British Museum, SoHo Square, Chinatown, the Elizabeth Tower, St. Paul's Cathedral, and West Minster Abbey! Our very knowledgeable tour guide, Kevin, gave us a detailed history and background on each place we visited! At the conclusion of the tour, we were tired and hungry so we stopped at Founder's Arms where we tried a British tradition of a Sunday Roast meal. I chose the Roasted Chicken option which came with carrots, potatoes, Yorkshire pudding, and other root vegetables! It was very filling and delicious! We then recharged by getting some coffee from a little cafe in a nearby museum -- the Tate Modern museum, which had lots of interesting historical artifacts and a great view of the city!

FIRST DAY in London!!!

Image
 First Day in London!     Longgg travel day! We flew overnight and had a layover in Iceland and then arrived at our hotel in London at around 1pm. I slept very little on both plane rides, maybe three hours total, so coffee was the top priority! We tried a super cute little coffee shop just around the corner from our hotel called Crepe, Coffee, and Chai. It was very bright in there, with windows lining the walls and decorative plant and floral arrangements! I ordered an iced vanilla latte with oat milk and a spinach, feta, and sun-dried tomato omelette. The coffee options were pretty standard: latte, americano, mocha, macchiato, etc. and the flavor options were limited: hazelnut, caramel, and vanilla. There were many non-coffee alternatives as well including smoothies, teas, and hot chocolate. I enjoyed my drink and food, but the coffee was definitely on the sweeter side. Also, a bit pricey, the latte was £6 and the omelette was £11. Overall I would rate my experience a 7/...

Last Day: So Long London

Last Day: So Long London Last day in London -- very bittersweet! Our last full day in London was very open for us to decide what we wanted to do. It was a very relaxing but fun day; I finally feel like I have figured my way around the city on our final day... To start the day, I decided to do some work for my final project and went to three different coffee shops and did some research on their prices, flavor options, ambiance, etc. I landed on Caffe Nero, an Italian coffee chain in London. I got an iced honey oat latte -- it was £4.90 and very creamy with the shots poured on top, making it not too sweet. We then spent the afternoon shopping and getting souvenirs to bring home! Caffe Nero: an Italian coffee chain We took an afternoon trip on the tube to the iconic Tower Bridge where we walked around and got a ton of great pictures! It was packed there, but it was so cool to see the contrast of the new city skyline with the old historic palace buildings.   Tower Bridge For our f...
