November 30th - oh forget it, lets call it December

Three weeks Three weeks!! (and a half) until Christmas. What does that mean, cold weather of course, but even better, it means a lovely warm cafe (respect to all those market coffee stalls out there brrrrr), the windows all steam up and the smell of fresh ground coffee is mingling with fresh baked Christmas tarts, or Panforte, or banana bread, or our famous super moist chocolate brownies.

Remember that we can do large orders if required, a tray of brownies perhaps? Perfect for a Christmas party, or if you wish to make a lovely present to someone, how about a jar of carrot and lemon marmalade.

Hope to see you soon, if we can through the foggy windows!!

Week of November 16th

It seems that word is spreading for our baked sweet treats as well as our coffee. Time out have twittered this week that our Portuguese tarts are 'amazing' and they have even added us in their updated cafes of London list as one of the best looking coffee shops out there.
The kind people at Qype came in on Friday to celebrate one of theirs leaving and bought a shed load of cakes and twittered their hearts away on Friday night about how good they were.
This is all really appreciated, but what is appreciated even more is the lovely people who come in every day and support us, a small independent cafe in Central London trying to give people, quite simply, really really really good coffee and food. For that we thank you.
You can follow us or make comments on twitter by searching for kaffeinelondon. See you on there.

Thursday 5 November 2009

For those who follow us on Twitter, you know we try to keep you updated with what is happening with the food that is coming out of the kitchen at certain times of the day so that you know what's cooking. It is also a real pleasure when customers come in and say ' wow, this place smells amazing! What is it?' Then we have to decide whether it is the brownies, the organic porridge, the muffins, the cookies, the salad ingredients or perhaps the bacon for the wonderful bacon rolls we now have, or is it just that we have opened another bucket of Square Mile coffee? I wonder.....

It's all good really, however, if someone could just invent smellatwit we would be able to 'tweet' the smells of the kitchen to you as well. Anyway, will have to just keep tweeting photos......

Sunday 1 November 2009

As we get into the colder months now, we have started with organic porridge in the mornings with condiments to top it up with including dark muscovado sugar, dried fruit, chopped nuts and honey. Then at lunchtimes we have wonderful soups served with a piece of crusty bread to warm the cockles. It is dark by 5.00 p.m., so the cafe takes on a new look withe the exposed brick walls and the lighting creating a really nice ambience.

Saturdays are proving perfect for catching up with friends or just coming in and reading the papers, have a coffee or two and escaping from reality. Saturdays, perfect for a shot of Kaffeine.

Jams for sale:
Our amazing secret recipe marmalade is now for sale to take home and not only that, but you can have red fruit jam or damson plum and baby kiwi jam as well. This week we have added my own favorite, fig jam. Yum. Ask us in store.
