With all the various lockdowns in place, it can be hard to get out to enjoy your favourite coffee shop, so in the meantime, here’s a way to get the caffeine hit at home!!

Some of these I’ve tasted first hand and a couple have come highly recommended and are currently sitting in my wish list!!

Gordon St Coffee

I’m biased of course, being Scottish, but their coffee is fabulous!

Choose from the gorgeous ‘Great Taste Award Winner 2020’ Edinburgh Roast, which comes in a variety of grinds: Whole Bean, Cafetiere, Filter, Espresso, Turkish or Moka Pot.

There’s also the delicious Black Forest Roast, bringing you that dark chocolate and cherry flavour!

79 Gordon Street, Glasgow or 6 Market Street Edinburgh

Common Coffee

When we’re in Edinburgh we spend quite a bit of time at Mayvn inside Eden Locke on George Street in Edinburgh and their coffee is fantastic. My own personal preference is an oat milk latte, but when I’m feeling like a real pick me up then a double espresso sorts me right out!

The coffee is from Common Coffee and they have a great range you can buy online, from a sample box with 4 different coffees to Decaf for those who want the taste but not the big caffeine hit.

Prices start at £7.00 for 250g
Again UK delivery only.

Beanberry Coffee Company

We ventured to the Beanberry Café in Kingston Upon Thames a couple of years ago and I can confirm that the coffee was delicious, their cake offerings were also tantalisingly tasty! They have a great range available online with prices from £7.50. They deliver to the UK and other countries, just check online.

The coffee shops can be found at 30b Fife Road, Kingston Upon Thames, England and 272 High Holborn in London.
