Nearly a year ago I attempted to go to this café in Forest
Hill, South London and found they were off on holiday. I was sad as I had heard
great things and I vowed to return but was it worth the wait?
The sun was pouring through into the front of the café, it contained a
small but light and open seated area here. The café becomes more dense as you made
your way to the back with a great ramshackle collection of furniture and
ornaments including a fine collection of vinyl.
There was a good array of cake and treats on
offer alongside the coffee as one would expect. The friendly staff attended to me right away and
soon I was back outside in the sunshine with my coffee.
My initial sip disappointed a little as it came across as quite
watery but a few gulps later things had markedly improved. Although still lacking in explosive strength some lovely distinct flavours asserted themselves.
It was a lightly citrus cup with a gentle
nuttiness filling out the middle tones. The acidity and natural sweetness gave it an almost sweet
and sour sensation. Clean and crisp on the finish it left a pleasant cherry
after taste ringing in my mouth.

A great looking little coffee house with friendly service. A
very nice coffee with light fruit sweet and citric flavours. Could be a little
stronger.
