We are cafe hounds. We search for the best coffee the world can offer. This involves trying newly opened coffee houses or visiting the famous ones around the globe. Below are our reviews of some of the places we recently visited. Note that we are not rating the cafes. Yelp and other similar website have done a fantastic job on that. We recognize that each cafe is unique and designed to serve particular customers. What is considered necessary for a coffee house for one person (say, free wifi) might be something others considering unattractive (say, people with laptop occupying seats for hours in a crowded cafe). What we try to do here is to give information about the place, and let you decide if it would fit your preference and the purpose of your visit.
Contact us if you want us to review any specific places. We will add them to our wish-list, and try to visit them when the opportunity comes.
