Paris Baguette – Canary Wharf Following our trip to the farm (previous post) we took a short ride to Canary Wharf to explore and have more coffee. The area has changed a bit since we last visited but it still oppressive and a bit meh, but we did find a rather splendid place to have a drink. Kerry had an Americano and a slice of strawberry and soft cream cake, I had a decaf cappuccino and a slice of chocolate mousse cake.

Think we found the best cake in London, but will keep the hunt going!

Mudchute Kitchen – Mudchute Farm I have visited the farm a few times, usually early Sunday mornings just to say hello to the animals, but never at a time when any other part of it was open. Kerry always wanted to go and recently we actually sorted out a visit. The menu wasn’t huge but just enough for us, luckily I wasn’t after cake and there was only 1 available and it was walnut which seemed an odd choice with nothing else there.

White Mulberries – Marylebone Whilst in town on my own I went to a favourite area and one of the aims whilst there was to find new coffee, there are a few places around there we are still to try but this looked the most inviting at the time. I was drawn in by the food on display and after some perusal opted for lemon drizzle cake and a decaf cappuccino.

De Straat – Lille I nipped over to Lille for a few days to see the start of the Tour de France and had to find a new coffee spot, having visited a few years back with Kerry the famous places (Meert - amazing) had been covered but it was not that hard to find a new purveyor of the brown stuff. I found this place by just putting 'coffee' into goggle maps after doing a lap of the citadel and it was the closest, pretty much between the centre and the citadel/park/zoo so a good location.

Leelou – Sete The final day of riding ended in the lovely coastal town of Sete, after checking in to the hotel we were in need of coffee so set off to explore. Within minutes we found one I had researched but it didn't have seating so we carried on and struck very lucky indeed. Just a brief glance in the window had us decided on staying there for a while.

La Boulangerie du Cristal – Beziers After a nice steep ride from the river to the city centre we were ready for a break and as it was also a little before to check-in time at the hotel we thought coffee would be a splendid idea. In the centre on Bezier is a wide pedenstrianised zone (reminded us of La Ramblas in Barcelona but much cleaner) and as we rode along we spotted this place and after seeing the cakes and a slightly hidden coffee machine we were sold.

Alexis Les Couleurs des Saveurs – Bram Cycling holiday this year was south west corner of France and we knew from previous holidays that coffee can be a difficult thing to locate, combination of places not having a coffee shop (or even a bar tabac) or arriving at the wrong time and them being closed. We rode the Canal du Midi and when we saw a sign saying "Coffee 1.5km" we turned and followed the path to a place called Bram.

Pistachios in the Park – East Greenwich Pleasaunce This was a solo coffee whilst out on my bike, I've ridden through the park many times but always before the cafe is open, today I went past more in hope than expectation but got lucky. I had a decaf flat white and a flapjack, I like the look of the ultra fresh cookies but when I saw the label I changed my mind as I didn't know what tahini was (I thought it it was some kind of spice but have since educated myself and it sounds okay for the future).

Are there any other free options? I only plot routes 3 or 4 times a year so paying for RWGPS is a bit of a waste.

Caffe In – Mayfair Feeling fancy so went to Mayfair and stumbled across this place and as soon as the words "full English" were spotted there was no need to look any further. The full English was for Kerry, along with a flat white. I'd had my breakfast many hours prior so went for a decaf cappuccino and a brownie - the cake options were a little limited so opted so went for the best of the few available.

Mama2Mama – Woolwich This used to be ArtFix but there was (allegedly) some kind of dispute with the landlord and they left. It wasn't empty long before Mama2Mama took over. It has hardly changed at all, there are fewer tables and the outside area was closed - maybe just a seasonal thing as it was rather chilly when we visited. Kerry had a flat white and a slice of chocolate marble cake whilst I had a cappuccino and blondie.

Coffee in Woolwich, a phoenix from the flames!

One Shot Coffee – Camden We haven’t been to the zoo for a while and as it was dry we thought we should, under the proviso that we find somewhere new on the way to get coffee and food. To get to the zoo we had to go to Camden which is probably the worst part of London we’ve been to (so far) but between the tube station and the zoo we found this place.

Mix it up, I find it best to have 1 account for everything rather than different ones for different things. Plus a sport person may be inspired by TTB and vica versa.
