Sheffield’s Division Street got its newest trendy resident this month with the arrival of 200° Coffee extending their freshly roasted beans into the region.  Owners Tim Vincent & Rob Darby set-up the business from their obsession of coffee. Starting out as a small batch roaster in a garage, they then quickly expanded into the coffee shop world by selling beans wholesale, before opening their first 200° in 2012. Now, six years later they have a strong portfolio of seven stores

The British love coffee, almost more than the Americans do. We love it so much that we get through over 2.3billion* cups of the stuff via any one of the 22,845* coffee outlets that are now helping us through our days. Taking up 54%* of the outlet share the leading chain coffee shops are expanding at an increasingly alarming rate. With that rise it now seems like you can’t walk down a street without seeing the ground littered with at least one branded coffee cup and although t

Part one of this adventure can be found here. Now you might imagine a night in the desert to be filled with all sort of creepy insects but in matter of fact we hardly came across any wildlife. The most we probably saw was a couple of cats, one called “Shakira”, and a dog that mostly kept himself to himself. I did however wake up in the middle of the night to the sound of something moving around on what sounded like the top of our tent, so somehow managing to put my mind at ea

Capital of the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg , Luxembourg City lies in the very heart of Western Europe. Ranked in the top 20 of the Mercer Quality of Living index primarily for its personal safety record and quality of life, Luxembourg offers the perfect short city naturalistic escape. The city centre occupies a picturesque site on a salient, perched high on precipitous cliffs that drop into the narrow valleys of the Alzette and Pétrusse rivers, whose confluence is in City. Its

One of the most ethnically and linguistically diverse cities in Canada, Vancouver is a hub of thriving activities from a wide range of cultures. Consistently being named as one of the top five worldwide cities for liveability and quality of life (WORLD’S MOST LIVEABLE CITIES), Vancouver often plays host to major events such as the winter olympics (2010), FIFA Women’s World Cup (2015) as well as the annual TED conference making Vancouver its indefinite home after spending 30 y

Tucked away within the heart of Leigh-On-Seas Broadway area, Barlow and Fields offers the perfect sun trap to escape reality with the comfort of homemade food while sipping on a freshly brewed cup. Its walls are plastered with local artistic prints, with bench like seating surrounding a centred wall that in its own right becomes the art exhibition place for these fantastic local pieces. Barlow and Fields serves good quality coffee, and I believe they are the only artisan coff

I love nothing more than finding a coffee place that excites me. Etno Café is rapidly expanding in Wrocław and further afield across Poland offering everything you would want from a coffee-house. It has the quirky new era minimalistic interior, the selection of coffee brewing methods to suit your needs and of course the perfect lunch or snack all freshly made within store. The first time I came across Etno was a chance encounter with  its smaller kiosk store location at Pl. T

Just a short walk from Wrocław’s Main Square you can find this oasis of pink tranquility. Nanan’s entrance is low-key and perhaps almost disguised, from looking in on the outside you would think that you are passing by an upscale market boutique. Once you step up to the door however, pushing it open you are greeted warmly by its elegant plush pink wall coverings and mirrored interior. The staff instantly welcome you in a way that leads you helplessly into a broad smile, a smi
