'Kool kat' with a memorable bitter ending...

Tapped & Packed (Fitzrovia, W1T 1JD and W1T5AH)

Coffee:  4.5 / 5
Ambience:  3 / 5

Strong, but infused with a memorable bitter ending.

If you can get past the 'kool kat' attitude which lingers in this intimate cafe, then this venue is worthy of a second, and fourth date.

Let's pretend it never happened...

Megan's (Fulham, SW6 2EB)

Coffee:  2 / 5
Ambience:  3.5 / 5

Kitsch premises, mundane, watered down coffee.

Let's pretend this coffee date never took place!

Australians are just so sexy...

Lantana Cafe (Goodge St, W1T 1SN)

Coffee:  4 / 5
Ambience:  4.5 / 5

Strong and good-looking.

Smooth, aromatic and intense, without being sloppy.

This Australian owned cafe, sets the standard and proves why Australians are just so sexy.

A strong, unpretentious antipodean...

Kaffeine (Fitzrovia, W1W 7QJ)

Coffee:  4 / 5
Ambience:  4.5 / 5

Strong, well crafted and unpretentious albeit, a little bitter and rough around the edges. 

This gem is antipodean owned and its coffee (and cakes) are unforgettable. 

Do antipodeans have the 'midas coffee' touch?

Dull and frigid...

Ella's Bakehouse (Covent Garden, WC2E 8RB)

Coffee:  1.5 / 5
Ambience:  2 / 5

Alluring, delectable cupcakes.  Dull, frigid coffee.  

Resulting in an unmemorable time together.  'Don't call me, I'll call you'.

Memorable without the gimmicks...

Rabot Estate (Borough Market, SE1 9AA)

Coffee:  3.5 / 5

Strong, intense and memorable, without the gimmicks.

Looking forward to another date.

Sloppy and understated...

Cafe Carmina (Marylebone, W1U 3RB)

Coffee:  2 / 5
Ambience:  3 / 5

Sloppy, diluted and understated.

Reminiscent of 'Crappuccino' days at Starbucks.

Orgasmic and posh...

Gail's Artisan Bakery (Notting Hill, W11 2DZ)

Coffee:  4 / 5

Ambience:  5 / 5

Orgasmic coffee!

Strong, sexy, sweet and oh-so-posh - just like the crowd that frequents this cafe.

And in the beginning...

A starry eyed girl arrived in London from a small city called 'Brisborrring'. 

She assumed that for every sophisticated Londoner, there were equal quantities of strong, sexy, wet lattes. 

She was wrong.  This was the land of 'Crappuccinos'.
