London — Good morning, what will you have today? It’s another Tuesday morning, which I’ve decided to spend working from a coffee shop in North Greenwich. I arrived there a bit later than usual, so the good seats were already taken. I sat near the very busy and loud counter, which is alright; I can work well listening to the noises of the klinks and the klanks of the equipment that prepares my daily fuel, ...
Portland — This is my first visit to Portland, and the stakes are high. Our family made the decision to try to leave South Africa and move back to the US. Portland is our current city of choice, and I’ve been se...
Portland — We arrived in Portland just over a week ago, and I feel different. Happy. Restless. Confused. Excited. Apprehensive. That’s all part of the deal, of course. Moving countries is not for the faint of he...
Torquay — What’s that dirty old piece of wood, painted red, on the wall of Today’s Coffee Shop? Well, when you are in one of Australia’s surfing capitals, you can expect to see prized old surf boards used as d...

Today's Coffee
I love immersing myself in a new town's coffee culture.
Lunch as a time to eat and observe people
How I drink my coffee is not important. It's where.
Cafe Tabac offers honest prices. Coffee comes with wifi and generous smile. The ladies can help you buy streetfood too.
Neighbourhood coffee shop where I have lunch occasionally, never coffee. Sunken into a comfy chair. Jazz piano music, French vocals.
Post-yoga second breakfast of champions. Boxcar Coffee, Pearl Street.
Pre-meeting coffee. These are the things I'll miss about Cape Town.
The Third Place
Making and doing need not a perfect moment, but some things do make things easier.
Old school
Coffee, cakes, sandwiches and French macaroons
Coffee and books
A latté, a book, and sunset at my favorite coffee shop. The perfect date for 1.
Searching for Portland's soul
I live in Four Barrel.

The culture of coffee
Dear Bill, I just wanted you to know how much I appreciated the centrepiece you left for me. Love, Dan.

Coffee brain, iPad coaster...
Given only one choice, would it be coffee or pastry?
Starbucks and a Kindle..
Same city, same type of drinks, a different vibe.
Coffee shop in Vancouver feels more like weekend family destination.
