The @coffeecollectif is on and tasting incredible. Since we opened back at station approach you’ll know that we’ve been a big champion of their Espresso 2. If you want those big creamy, chocolate and nougat notes in your coffee (and we all do right?) then it’s probably the very best at it. Oh and if you want those super bright, fruity coffees, don’t worry, the Kieni is here too ✌🏻
The Idle Handshakes are live. Here’s a Blackberry Cheesecake Pieshake. That’s a mouthful isn’t it. Also probably too much at half ten in the morning (or whenever you wake up and spend 2 hours scrolling through Instagram in bed) right?
Alright let’s do this, starting this weekend the Pieshake has arrived. Along with Pie à la Mode. Don’t know why it’s taken us this long to properly get round to it, but no better time to start than summer right. And what’s the Pieshake? Easy, just choose your slice and we’ll turn it into a milkshake for you. ‘Cos why not? Love an Idle Handshake. I haven’t tried all the combos yet, but I’ll be honest, I’m struggling to see past this apple pie one.
Don’t forget it’s the @idlereaders book sale this evening in the shop! Where they’ll be raising money for @thehorsfall_42ndstreet in aid of mental health awareness week, 6.30pm till late. There’ll be music and cocktails and books and books and books and books. Come dig through, throw some pennies in a bucket, have a drink and what not. Oh and book sales are cash only so remember to bring some along!
Big Man at @siopshop by @bathedailey is well worth a minute (or day) of your time. SPORT
This weeks lunch special is a good’un. SQUASH DAHL WITH PILAU RICE, HOMEMADE ONION BHAJI AND CORIANDER YOGHURT.
Ice is twice as nice as a device for your vice to entice. Aka - you can still drink coffee on hot days.
Always forget how knackering London is. Nice quick trip though. Saw some stuff. Learnt some things.
Forgot to take photos of wine at the @realwinefair. Too busy being the noobs that drank EVERYTHING and got day krunk. Great work by @lescavesdepyrene. Nice seeing @love_and_labour, @kwasshopandbar & @toncosheffield. Got loads of scribbled notes, which I think means more wine to buy in. This is a photo at the “every time we’re here” @workshopcoffee, after an attempt to salvage our baby and dog free evening in a city paved with gold. Wish us luck.
“I should probably just put some of wine in front of that sunbeam for a photo or something cos it’s mental”
The @squarerootldn blood orange and grapefruit Citrus Crush is a proper dream in the sun. Straight into my veins please.
Apologies whilst this coffee shop takes a minute out for a little Gus appreciation post. BFFs.
Love a bit of food me.
Serving coffee since...
Little reminder we’re open 10-5 tomorrow. So come prep your busy day ahead / fuel your “how the hell are we supposed to fill another bank holiday?!” / bask in your post- @sftoc blues / continue your regular Monday routine. Whatever, we’ll be there anyway.
That’s a well tasty beer.
Here’s a plate of breakfast.
Windows open kinda day. Fresh.
