Coffee Enquiry XLIII: Argentinean Coffee Shop

She published my recipes. I had to close the store, move to Argentina. She ruined my business!
Soup Nazi (Seinfeld episode “The Finale”)

I have been looking for a nice local independent coffee around Chiswick. So I was excited when got into Tamp. An Argentinean coffee place, a brick and wood paradise with coffee, alfajores, and empanadas.

Coffee Time
Great coffee, lovely bites especially the empanadas, and nice staff. Just be patient as they are usually packed.

Beans: Notes
Machine: San Remo
Score: 5/5

Coffee Enquiry XXXII: Flat Cap

Oh, and that coffee table is saying, put some coffee on me! I'd like to put some coffee on her! Hot, scalding coffee right in her face! I swear! This is like working with a contestant from The Price Is Right
Elaine Benes (Seinfeld episode “The Fire”)

While wandering around Borough Market looking for a decent coffee and trying to avoid the queues of Monmouth, I bumped into Flat Cap (now they are renaming to Notes Coffee Barrows) in the Green Market. The stall is part of now 4 carts around London and 2 Notes full shops in London. New Zealand style espresso based menu with the steering of Brazilian barista champion Fabio Ferreira.

The stall
Tips?
I ordered a nice flat white, strong flavours and creamy, latte art even that is served to take away.

Flat White
Lovely coffee, opening from Thursday to Saturday

The Coffee Inquiry X: Notes – Trafalgar Square

I took Roberto and Eliana to Notes in Trafalgar, pretty similar to the one in Covent Garden, the concept, music, movies, and coffee, all that under one roof, well actually two. Pastries, sandwiches, salads, pies, and some more substantial plates are your options for food, a wine list that changes every month, and coffee related drinks. 

Wine
I got a macchiato as usual, strong coffee flavour, creamy, nice, a bit bitter, no latte art.

Espresso Machine: La Marzocco 
Beans: Square Mile 
Score: 4/5 

Nice coffee, great atmosphere, nothing like coffee and jazz together, and as a plus I loved their lamp. 

The lamp... lies down on Broadway?
Close up
Note reminds me the Seinfeld episode “The Burning” 

George: I had them, Jerry, they loved me 
Jerry: And then? 
George: I lost them. I can usually come up with one good comment during a meeting but by the end it's buried under a pile of gaffs and bad puns 
Jerry: Showmanship, George. When you hit that high note, you say goodnight and walk off 
George: I can't just leave 
Jerry: That's the way they do it in Vegas 
George: You never played Vegas 
Jerry: I hear things

The Coffee Inquiry VII: Notes - Covent Garden

Two locations in London, opened in November 2010, with a concept of music, films, food, and of course coffee. Similar to other coffee shops their menu is simple, pastries, muffins, sweet treats, sandwiches, salads, and a bit more complex at night. You have also option to have a glass of wine or a beer. In Notes you will find a mix between trained baristas, selected beans, and the necessary equipment including a reverse osmosis water flittering system to provide top quality in their coffees.

Notes
Number 36
Sweet treats
Menu
Simple décor, wood tables, Spuntino style lamps, relax yet simple atmosphere. Ordered a macchiato and a banana bread. Nice coffee strong as expected from a Square Mile house blend, nice latte art detail. The banana bread great, it’s difficult to go wrong with it.

A different kind of note reminds me the Seinfeld episode “The Note” 

Jerry: I told you
George: Told me what?
Jerry: I told you we shouldn't do it
George: He didn't say anything
Jerry: He's got a house, a family, they could take away his license. You should have heard him. Three notes, how stupid was that? We never should have got three notes
Elaine: Three notes?
Jerry: Yeah, you, me and George
Elaine: You got me a note?
Jerry: Yeah
Elaine: But I got my own note
Jerry: You what?
Elaine: I got a note from my gynaecologist
Jerry: Why'd you do that?
Elaine: I didn't know you were getting me a note
Jerry: Of course I was getting you a note
Elaine: But you didn't say anything
Jerry: Neither did you, that's how he got caught. We sent in four notes from two doctors
Kramer: How can you do that to your friend? He's got a wife, kids, and a lot of other stuff. Oh, yeah
