Prufrock Coffee, London
Prufrock Coffee is home to Gwilym Davies, 2009 World Barista Champion. The affable, scruffy bearded barista who lives on a boat has assembled a talented supporting cast at two locations in London. My favorite is Prufrock Cafe on Leather Lane, a large, airy and colorful space, inviting you to linger and enjoy one of the...
ST.ALi – Coffeebar, Cafe, Roastery in London
ST.ALi is an Aussie transplant that opened a London location in the Spring of 2011. They hope to “showcase our love for things that, while simple and accessible, are undeniably delicious,” which is a mission statement I can agree with. The cafe itself is massive, comprised of a ground floor coffee bar and roastery with...
Photography: Other than coffee in Malmö, Sweden

Here’s part two recapping my Easter visit to Stockholm (click here if you missed part one). As it turns out, most shops were closed during the Easter holiday, but we did manage to stop at Drop Coffee and Snickarbacken 7, while peeking in at a couple other places. Cupcake STHLM One place we popped in...
Searching for the Best Coffee in Stockholm – Part 1
Another post long overdue! During Easter break I took my first trip up to Stockholm (“sthlm” to the Swedes), riding one of the cheap Veolia trains that look like they’re from the 1950s. Stockholm at Easter is a city full of people relaxing in the park, barbecuing, or vacationing out in the country. Those good...
Cafe Norden in Copenhagen
Man Seeking Coffee recently posted a link to Coffee Collective’s google map of cafes using their beans, which gave me a starting point for exploring Copenhagen’s cafe scene when I visited yesterday. The first location, called Cafe Norden, basically ticked off all the boxes on the list of preconceptions I had for what a ‘European...
