St David Coffee House makes "Best 9 Coffee Shops" - Evening Standard

I just have to say, it is a coffee shop, not a work station.

I agree. However, what I do is work while I eat. I don’t think people should hog tables for hours on end. Just for me, I need to be able to do both, which is why St David’s currently gets less of my custom than some other coffee shops. That custom entails me buying lunch and coffee and having one hour’s dedicated writing time.

I’ll hope to be occupying it in the morning, if I leave myself enough time before my train.

You made a fair point though.

Guilty as charged then, I certainly do it. Most of my meetings are in coffee shops. Easy to recognise me at the end of a busy day, I am the VERY wired guy in the corner drooling slightly :dizzy_face:

St David’s makes me happy to live in Forest Hill. It is the highlight of my morning commute to pop in for an insanely delicious flat white every day. I hope they last for ever.

This is so funny! My member of staff text me at the end of the day & said ‘you won’t believe this but some guy had 7 iced latte today!’ So now we know it was you!! :joy::joy:

And it doesnt end there. I enjoyed them so much I went home, ground some beans and made another in my Aeropress. I then ground a lot more beans and started a new cold brew. I have not slept since! :dizzy_face:

@StDavid… thought you’d like to know I have friends from Auston, TX in town and they made a special trip to FH just for your coffee.

My friend is a real coffeenista. He secures his beans from a number of sources around the World. He tailors his brew method to the bean. I have had him painstakingly make coffee for me with a Hario V60 and a Syphon (totally worth it but I’m too impatient myself). And yet on his first visit to your shop he thought it was one of the finest coffees he’s had around the World.

Thought you’d like to know.

Nope, coffee has little effect on me. Happy to sit down at 10pm with a nice Sertao Natural after a day of hitting the coffee’s before going to bed.
