There is coffee outside of Soho…
In the past week we have visted two great cafes outside of Soho, one in Fitzrovia (Kaffeine, 66 Great Titchfield Street) and the other in Hampstead (Ginger and White, 4a-5a Perrin’s Court).
Both cafes have exceeded our expectations and have combined great food with good coffee and have a funky vibe about them, yet they are both distinctly different.
Kaffeine is light and airy and serves healthy food in a relaxed atmoshphere. The staff are charming and attentive and appreciate all aspects of customer service.
Healthy food and mouthwatering pastries
Ginger and White has table service, rarely found in a cafe in London, and serves honest food. The recipes are inspired by the in-house food stylist and produce is sourced from within the UK where possible, from known farms and sources.

Reviews we have written for both cafes can be found on Coffee Forums UK, and Beanhunter, a dedicated cafe review site
Both cafes use Squaremile beans and at the time of writing the Summer Espresso was being served. We have tried this at many London locations and the quality of the espresso based drinks at these two cafes is right up there with the best we have had.

I’ve also heard there is some OK stuff north of London
Its a little unfair to pop that one at you as I know you have been a great supporter of many coffee shops outside London, but I think we (and I include myself in that) focused a little on the London scene and forgot the lost souls who try hard to promote there business in a much less appreciative audiance.
We only have to look at the work Lou Henry at Opposite, Barry Lawrenson at Roasters in Scarborough or Jonathan Sharp at Kilimanjaro coffee in Edinburgh for good examples. I do hope the London effect of these kind of places ( I agree Kaffine is great visited last week) is very good.
Also would like to agree with your shout out for Beanhunter I like this site very much very good indeed, been in the RSS for a while now well worth a read.
