Coffee in London 2013


well this will be tricky as I seem to have mislaid my notes. So the images might not relate to the cafe.

One thing I can tell you though is that they all have good coffee.

Check opening times as some are Monday to Friday.  There are more, so hopefully I can track down my pictures to add to this entry. 

I have also added a link to coffee tips from a local London newspaper at the bottom

Five Edinburgh cafes for coffee 'holics


Kilimanjaro Coffee

This is the favourite, fantastic full English breakfast with what is an incredible lack of grease.  I know that sounds kind of terrible, but it's really good.  Plus we all loved the coffee here.
104 Nicolson Street, Edinburgh EH8 9EJ, Scotland
Kilimanjaro Coffee on Nicholson Street

Peter's Yard
Scandinavian, but with pizza. Sounds bizarre, but it works.  Baked goods, soups and other yummy stuff.  Not sure what the coffee was like as I didn't have one, but its' definitely worth checking our for the food.
