Great coffee. Cute atmosphere with the little sandwich kitchen. Plus their Milano Toastie changed my life. I like how they make everything right in front of you in their artsy little kitchen
I’m a coffee geek. But not so populous in the friends department here, yet. Cough. Probably not with that attitude anyway. I took a stroll to Argos (as you do on a Sunday morning) and ended up at Coffee Geek & Friends whose interior was almost reminiscent of one of my Melbourne haunts. Good times. The flat white was fair, oddly served in a mug but hey, all the more to enjoy. Decent brew and aromas. I also had a BLT sandwich, can’t quite remember the price but felt like it was on the high side. But you get some bonus chips. It’s a very British thing, having chips (I mean crisps) but the extra saltiness is always appreciated. I enjoyed the sourdough, a nice crust, and the fillings were all fresh. Not the most exciting bacon though – a crisp variant or a freshly grilled ,eat slice would have made it more special. I enjoyed the ambiance and it was a comfy spot to chill, before I had to get up to grab my shopping. Service was spot on, a good spot for a morning.
Found these guys just around the corner from my blood donation session at Winchester Cathedral. From the reviews and first impressions it looked a shoe-in for another 5star rating.
Love the atmosphere and choice (especially the very tantalising treats at the counter & two sizes of Flat White) ... very tough to grab just a drink.
So .... the review reflects all the above plus the influence of a slice of toasted banana bread (with dark chocolate pieces) and “butter”.
Flat White - 3.5🌟- great flavour to the espresso but not enough body/punch) ... I took the larger size which might be the issue
Banana Bread - Ka-ching - 5🌟 (although I must add the proviso that the butter was not the hoped for pure butter with a hint of salt ... which would have been pure bliss on the slice but the blended soft “tastes just like butter” version.
I look forward to a future visit and updating my rating to (hopefully) 5🌟
