Who is the best coffee shop and what do I look for when buying a coffee

So I am someone who all year round looks forward to the festive coffee's and hot chocolates, that as soon as they come out I have to have one and thank the lord for coffee shops. I love buying a coffee but I do often have one at home now as it does save me money and when continously buying drinks from a coffee shop can add up, but in doing so I want to share my favourite coffee shop and what I look for when buying a coffee rather than make one myself. 

It has to be tidy and invitable. There is a Costas in Morden and the coffee their having a Latte tasted awful, yet I will buy a coffee from them in other places and love the Black Forest Hot Chocolate and I do like a Classic Hot Chocolate from Startbucks from the little Starbuck hut at Wimbledon station if I have time before I need to get the train to Epsom.

Often when going for a coffee in a shop the main dining area is nice and spacious, yet the toilets are totally different and unitdy looking and it kind of puts me off, yet the coffee itself is nice and really hits the spot. I do think the food served to be over priced, but see this as a treat and so I will buy food but not all of the time. 

If I fancy a Chai Latte I will often go to Cafe Nero and is pricey but now again it is worth it. I do have where I live a Coffee Machine but find the Chai Latte from it, is too sweet. 

I was never a friend of Iced Coffees but now I am. I like this in the summer when thirsty and wanting a bit of Caffiene some days in the summer. 

Should I go to the Borough Market again as I do visit annually and they do a lovely Winter Cider or Mulled wine and it is about £4.00 and a treat but so worth it. 

I am a London gal and is one of the reasons I love being a Londoner. 

So, what do you like when having a coffee in a coffee shop and which ones do you would say in terms of favourite is your favourite.

Why I like my own mug

Hello sorry it has been a while since writing on this blog. If you didn't know I am doing a life coaching programme "The Summer Project 2023" and is helping you have a better year and happy life, check out my blog site: https://everyonecanbuildacastle.com   I have created videos that are on my main Youtube channel for this project and so check it here via this link:  typicallondongal  It is June 2023 and today whilst having my first cup of tea completed the first draft of my book and feels so good to have this done. Having my own mug helps with that and it just something that gives me comfort.  When working in offices you would be asked to have your own mug if you wanted a cup of tea and coffee and thought that this was such a good idea and it makes it a homely environment. Of course if you work in a supermarket not so good because eating and drinking in front of customer is unprofessional, but doesn't mean you can't bring your own mug use it when you take a break...

Finding a decent coffee

Image
I love having a my coffee each day and been trying to not buy coffee from a coffee shop all of the time and use the jars of coffee I have and has made a difference but will treat myself to a Costa Coffee for example, but not all of the time. If you add up the amount a coffee from a coffee shop costs it can really damage your bank balance.  I am choosy when it comes to coffee and Greggs for do a decent Latte and is out of a machine rather than a coffee maker, and is cheaper than a coffee shop.  When it comes to a cup of coffee you want it to be smooth and not bitter. Cafe Nero for example I find their coffee too strong and so will go for a Chai Latte or a Hot Chocolate.  They say that Coffee can cause Anxiety which I read in a book, but for me it is different and it wakes me up and find it fills me up, and have to have a cup. I have the Sainsbury's Freeze Dry Jar of coffee and is my favourite out of the others ones, and was once upon a time, would be Kenco but no, not now ...

Being 45 and growing

Image
 As a kid I felt uncomfortable about being a child, because I saw being an adult, it meant that you had more freedom than being a child. Being 45 seemed a long long milestone and now I am 45, gotten to a place where I am okay with my life, and that I have come a long way to feeling good about myself and that I am no longer fearful compared to when I was a kid. I did have a good childhood and feel very lucky with the things I have done through out it, like holiday's in Clacton and Menorca, and seeing shows up London and visits to London Zoo, Chessington Zoo before it became a Theme Park, and it was just the zoo, and getting my ears pierced up London and spent time seeing my grandparents.  There was a time I liked to go out all the time and meet friends for a drink and get plastered. Not so much now, and like having the odd drink, but no over do it. Its alright going out partying but you have to think about getting home safely and I think you become more protective especially be...
