The Cheesy Charlatan
+4.5
The Spot: inconspicuous hole-in-the-wall, essentially no seating available obviously purposed for on-the-go coffee
The Service: pleasant and approachable, no hint of that ?fashionably glum affectation that often resides in the industry
The Drink: small strong latte, perfect temperature, perfect strength, smoothness equivalent to slipping into clean bedsheets post-full-plain-shave into which I will weep because I neither live nor work in the area to enjoy this every day.
To be honest, not sure why I took the .5 off - I think it's just out of principle?
If you're just looking for a coffee but you can't be bothered sitting in a busy cafe waiting 10 minutes for a brew, then pop down to Neighbourhood by Sean McManus and you'll have what you want in less than two, and it might be the best you'll have all day.
It's literally grab and go kind of sitch, unless you're one of the lucky few to grab a seat to have a good old yarn with the baristas. It's also super close to central station, which means you won't have to go far to satisfy that caffeination crave.
Recommendation: any coffee with any Penny Fours pastry.
