My quest to unearth the best independent coffee shops has, at last, taken me back to Birmingham, a fine city under-represented in Cosy Coffee Shops. 6/8 (or Six Eight) Kafé was my first stop.
Top Notch for Coffee
Laynes is a newbie in Leeds, a city which deserves (and now has) another brilliant coffee shop.
A stalwart of London coffee houses is Dose. In typically timely fashion, I visit just before its move to new premises.
A beacon of coffee gorgeousness on little Leather Lane is Prufrock, a new offering on London’s coffee tour.
Taylor St Baristas (not on Taylor St) has been around for years. It now has six branches, so it only just merits a place on this blog about indie coffee shops.
The Window may be the smallest coffee shop in the world, but it’s a mug-and-a-half full of joy.
On a cold winter’s day I visited The Perky Peacock, a relatively new – and brilliant – addition to the York cafe scene.
