Red bricks coffee shop Ozone Coffee Roasters

Ozone Coffee Roasters is known to be one of the most popular artisan coffee shops in London. The possibility to dine there makes this place attractive from early morning until late evening. I was greeted by a very nice girl who let me choose my own seat. This was a good beginning because I generally like such a freedom – to choose the table. It can sound weird, but … Anyway, there…

Nowadays it’s said to be a unique espresso bar in Europe.…

Every time I want to try a green coffee but end…

Holborn Grind

You can easily ‘buy’ me with a place where interior designers did their best to make it look simple, but perfectly beautiful, where staff is friendly and the food is delicious. I come to Holborn for a brunch with girls and realise that I’m half an hour early and dressed not for this English summer weather. Holborn Grind is on my way and I get in for a cup of hot coffee to…
