Suspiciously Good Coffee
I was feeling in need of a drink on the way home so I stopped at Ritazza, the micro-coffee shop on platform 1 at East Croydon station. Ordered a double expresso and whilst the smiling man was making it the honey flapjacks were calling to me... so I got one of those too. Then it started to get all weird.
The flapjack is made from oats, syrup, butter, sugar and honey. You know -- like you'd do at home -- but nothing like what you get in the shops usually. This cheered me up no end (being partial to a good flapjack[1]), and indeed it was lovely, until I noticed my coffee...
It's perfect. Good temperature, a solid crema, and nicely strong. The only downside is that it comes in a whacking great paper cup, but I'm sure I'll live with that. I've a feeling this could be the end of me...
[1] Of course true "good" flapjacks don't have chocolate bits, fruit bits, sugared bits or any other bits added, nor have they been dipped in another of the above.
