This website provides key information on the wonderful world of my local, independent coffee shops. I live in Surbiton (Royal Borough of Kingston, London).

Comparison is near impossible because everywhere serves different coffee drinks.

Different beans are used. Different production methods are used, and customers' moods, requirements and tastes are never identical to those of others.

All coffee shops ask me 'which is your favourite, Patrick?'

Usually, the correct answer is the cafe which I am in at the time! Independent cafes are always the best!


Independent coffee shops are the way forward, for coffee lovers.

If you're rushing your coffee, you are not a coffee lover, you are an addict!

Caffeine is a drug. Drugs can be addictive. Addiction to anything is bad. Appreciation of positive qualities, should always be possible. Therefore, don't become an addict, learn to appreciate quality.

I regard Coffee Shops with up to only a handful of 'brother/sister shops', as 'Independent'. Any larger, and it becomes a chain of shops, throughout which identical coffee is served, and individual powers are lost.

I am a human being. I love this world, recognising that it deserves the utmost respect from us. It offends me when I see those who don't agree. I am a coffee lover, I have NEVER been such a weak addict, consuming coffee on-the-go, littering the globe with paper/plastic coffee cups. Pay due respect to the drink and the Earth. These cups are non-recyclable and ARE NOT HOW COFFEE SHOULD BE DRUNK!

2 Love Tea And Coffee House




Mmmmmmmm mmmmmm. This place is superb! A flat, accessible entrance welcomes all inside. On entry, one turn to the left and you are immediately facing a big coffee bar, displaying a large range of coffee beans. 'Monmouth Coffee' is supplied, and their beans are sold here. 



I immediately ask the blend which I am served in a 'black Americano'. A 'special blend' is the answer, using Brazilian, El Salvador, and Nicaraguan beans. Nutty flavours are balanced by the bouncy, fruity feel of the blend served by the shop. 



A very warming, but lively coffee. My experience is now suggesting to me that the South-American beans are generally fairly nutty in taste, whereas the African/Central-American beans tend to offer more of a fruity taste. These two extremes are often balanced by a third bean, to help balance tastes, or lean it to either feel, if desired.
