π Heading to the London Coffee Festival at the Old Truman Brewery? I've navigated this caffeine-packed event multiple times and have some top tips to share! π
Spit, Don't Swallow - Embrace wine-tasting tactics to savor more without the overload. Yes, slurping is encouraged! π
Fuel Up - A hearty meal is your best friend against caffeine jitters. My go-tos? A burger from Honest or Detroit Pizza's finest, topped off with a potassium-rich banana. πππ
Pace Yourself - Not all of us are extroverts, and the crowd can be overwhelming. Find solace in the scattered bars and perhaps an espresso martini for that needed break. πΈ
Plan Ahead - Research and know what you want from the festival to avoid getting swept away in the bustling atmosphere.
LCF is more than a festival; it's a celebration of coffee's vibrant community, from the dedicated roasters to the meticulous baristas. But for me, it's the small businesses that are the true heart, enriching our neighborhoods with creativity and connection. π
Top Picks for LCF This Year:
Conscious Coffee (R04)
La Tostadora (M09)
Manhattan Coffee Roasters (R03)
Origin (G24)
Round Hill (G20 with Synesso & the Coffee Lobby)
Common Coffee (L1, full takeover on Saturday!)
Can't wait to see what brews and innovations we'll discover this year. Let's celebrate the best of the coffee community together. See you there! ββ¨
