coffee in london

Is a very serious business indeed.  There is even a book written about it http://londoncoffeeguide.com/ and quirky little cafes everywhere named things like 'a little of what you fancy' and 'tina, we salute you!'. I indulged in a flat white at 'Flat white', just because I was hanging out with a fellow antipodean. And because I curious about the state of the perfect flat white. It is seriously a lot flatter than the ones I have been serving customers recently. Mine resemble more of a cappuccino than the latte finish I experienced here. Time for coffee training I think! The guinness cake with white chocolate icing was superb - I have had rich gooey guinness cupcakes floating around in my head ever since. I am however still decidedly a macchiato girl, and had a deliciously roasted affair at Prufrocks in Shoreditch in the pouring rain. It was the first time I have ever been offered the choice of 'big froth or little froth' which made my day!
