My favourite coffee shop, pretty much of all time, is a small chain called 'Artisan' - it can be found in Stamford Brook, Putney and Ealing Broadway. The one I frequent in is in Stamford Brook, and it is definitely the place to go if you want a cup of good quality coffee and maybe a quick lunch and a slice of cake (or two).

How adorable?

The interior decor in the shop is simple but stylish - blackboards, recreation hardware, old-school tables and chairs, and loads of mismatched metal lampshades. Very much industrial chic!
My Top picks are:
- The Latte: It is perfect. Smooth, not too strong but not too milky. The perfect balance.
- The Hot Chocolate: The perfect winter pick-me-up, rich but smooth and milky
- The Ice-Latte: Summer. Need I say more?
- The Chocolate Guinness cake: YOU HAVE TO TRY THIS! This is the most perfect, dense chocolate cake, and a coffee's perfect companion
They've also got brilliant sandwiches, daily soups/foods, breakfast goods, cakes, biscuits, and an array of teas. And did I mention that the staff are always friendly and sweet? Oh, and that they have a spin-wheel for when you collect 8 coffee stamps? No? Well then GO!
