Weekly Menu 28th September

The lovely Autumn mornings are inspiring us to create more and more options for our menu, so we are testing and trying different cakes, slices and muffins as well as making more salads each day, as they are selling very quickly.

Our office catering menu will be also launching soon so you can have most of this lovely food for your meetings, morning or afternoon teas, plus for daily updates on treats and what is happening, check out twitter kaffeinelondon.

Hope to see you soon,

Thanks for your support.

Weekly Menu 21st September

Our menu, while having some of our favourites on all the time, will also change weekly depending on what the markets are providing to us and what Jarrod, or amazing Chef, has in his mind to make that week.
Each morning we start with the smell of fresh ground coffee, then to the smell of our sweet and savoury muffins, then banana bread baking and when the cinnamon and raisin toast gets on the grill, the cafe is full of the smell of lovely lovely food, just the way the world should be.
The weekly menu is uploaded each Friday for the week following. If you are interested in office catering or muffins or savouries for your home, please let us know by email or come in and say hello.

Kaffeine is open

It has taken two years of planning, a lot of heartache, blood, sweat and tears and time and effort, but finally we are open for business at 66 Great Titchfield street.

We are very proud of what we are doing and very passionate about providing our patch of London with a space that is fresh, open, inviting and filled with the wonderful aromas of coffee and baked goods including muffins, friands, banana breads as well as fresh, healthy salads, sandwiches and foccacias. Our menu changes weekly, following the seasons as our suppliers tell us what is good in the markets and what is at its freshest and we then combine that to make tasty, healthy food options that cater for everybody.

We are open Monday to Friday from 7.30 am to 6 pm and on Saturdays from 9 am to 5 pm and we are only 3 minutes walk from Oxford street tube station so very easy to come up and have a coffee in what is known amongst the locals as Great Titchfield Village.

Our coffee comes from the wonderful people at Square Mile coffee, big shout to James and Anette for all their support and encouragement, our machine is a brand new Synesso Cyncra PID controlled stainless steel mirror finish rolls royce of coffee machines. Producing sweet cup after cup of espresso we are very proud of it and will be more than happy to talk about it for hours on end if you want us to.

Coffee is such an amazing product and has so many variants, idiosyncrasies and nuances and has such a huge potential to really take off in London as a product that is to be respected, but it is also the cafe culture that we so enjoy in Australia and New Zealand, that creation of a community where people can come and go and feel relaxed, comfortable that we want to achieve at Kaffeine. Come and enjoy, talk, chat, relax.

See you soon.

Autumn Blend hits Great Titchfield street

Ah, the moment we have been waiting for, not the last of the summer wine, but the last of the summer blend. This is not in a bad way, because since we opened on August 14th we have loved the Summer blend as have our customers, but with the change of seaosns comes the opportunity to try something different and get that warm fuzzy feleing, just like putting on a jumper you have not worn for six months and just going hmmmmmmmm.

Square Mile promise a sweet tasting blend for Autumn, not as sweet as Summer, but still full of caramel, chocolate, toasted hazelnuts and a fresh raspberry flavour in the finish. We are getting a lot of chocolate and caramel especially in the ristrettos when dosed at about 22 grams and a real velvet pyjama covering on the tongue, even our soy flat white drinkers are getting chocolate!

On the synesso machine it comes through very bright and clean, just as it should be with respect to the time and effort that has gone into producing this wonderful blend.

We are already looking forward to colder days when the cafe will be warm, cozy and the smell of our freshly baked banana breads, muffins and friands is coming up the stairs and the Autumn espressos is warming our hearts.

Wonderful
