Taylor Street Baristas: MMC
Per Jessica:
Monday morning coffee had quite a crowd this morning, it was delightful to see so many faces! We were over at Taylor Street Baristas in the Bank location (easy access for everyone) which threw us right into the heart of the financial district. It was a bit tough to find as there is some construction going on and the alley it is on seems more like a corporate cut through than a place for a large coffee shop and swanky pub.
The coffee was good, however expensive, though I contribute that to the proximity of high rolling bankers in the area who believe £3.00 for a flat white is just a way of getting rid of their annoying pocket change. The very large room was continuously busy with people (mostly male) having meetings or maybe just avoiding work on a deary Monday. We were the 7 women not in blue or black suits at the rather large table in the back in case you walked by. The tables were varied, though the dark wood and eggshell walls made for a peaceful atmosphere.
I did not eat breakfast but at the table the reviews of the following were: the the ham and cheese croissant was warm and gooey, the banana chocolate muffin was big, moist and delicious and the grilled banana bread with a pad of butter was delicious despite the fact that walnuts were invading. My flat white was creamier than I like, though creamy coffee is the goal of Taylor Street, and everyone else seemed to enjoy their coffee or tea selection as I heard no complaints.
Taylor Street Baristas has six locations and uses Union Street Roasters for their beans. Taylor Street was "Started by three Aussie siblings during a bleak London winter." They employ only baristas who have 2-3 years of experience to ensure their product is to a high standard.
