Izzy's London Blog

 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/...

 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!
