A flat white in the red light

As mentioned in one of my earlier post 'flat white' is considered to be one of the best coffee houses in London, along with its sister shop 'milk bar'. It is nestled on the east side of a row of shops right in the midel of the Soho market area.

The inside is long and thin and it is always bussy, expect to wait if you want a seat and if there is a group of you, expect to wait longer.

The atmosphere is friendly and orders are taken quickly, even if you have to wait to actualy get your coffee. Its worth the wait though the coffee is excellent, very rich and a little bitter to my taste but the flaviour will stay with you for a good couple of hours, which is always a good sign. If I think realy hard and can still just about invoke the memory of the coffee from darkfluid, thats when you know you have had a realy good coffee, when it creates a memory that lasts. If you haven't or cannot bring to mind an occasion when a cup of coffee was this good, your drinking the wrong stuff and I recommend making the effort, just once, to find a good coffee house and try it.

If in London, I recommend making the effort of a ten minute walk to get good coffee. It has to be a better decision than going for the convenance of a cup of brown warm stuff from a chain.
