A Pilgrim’s Coffee: Photo of the Day
I got to visit the Holy Island of Lindisfarne last week, and came across this little gem of a coffee shop there too. You can read more about in the feature post Zomppa Lena and myself put together Irish, Scottish and English Sweet Stuff Explored.

Photo of the Day: Best Hour of the Day
Cake from Tante Helga’s coffeeklutch, or Kaffeekatsch, a time of the day when friends gather for a chat, coffee, and cake.

Camp for Caffeinated Rebels
Ongoing coffee wars: boo to the $4 Starbucks, yay to the $1 McDonald’s. Can’t taste the difference. Right? I am an absolute novice when it comes to coffee. Remember, I’m the one with the baby taste buds and so yes, coffee has traditionally been too bitter for me. And it makes me pee like nobody’s [...]
La Dolce Vita in the Eternal City
I’m just back from having spent 5 days walking around Rome and sitting in cafes sipping on coffees and people watching. I was lucky to be staying with a friend who is from Rome and so knows the “Real” Rome! After the mandatory stops at the Pantheon, Colosseum, St. Peter’s Square and Basilica, Trevi Fountain, [...]
