London: lovely coffee breaks in my ‘hood

I’m drinking a lot more tea than I used to, but I’m also drinking a ton of coffee, in an effort to be more energized and productive. I find falling out of bed and heading straight to the coffee shop rather effective, allowing me to think and slowly wake up, before returning home with a caffeine buzz (real or imagined) to get working.

Franze & Evans / coffee and cake
Franze & Evans, Redchurch Street - more of a Sunday place for us

coffee break at The Bean, Shoreditch
The Bean, Curtain Road - I bring my own cup and watch the hipsters go by on Rivington Street.

skinny latte at Ruby, Shoreditch, London
Ruby, Charlotte Road - coffee and a burger on a Saturday! Or if I deserve a treat, a steak sandwich for lunch. Mmm… red meat.
