I found it! Le Croissant, I love you, but for the best tasting non-Italian, medium-roasted, speciality, artisan coffee, welcome to Blend.
It’s where, I hope, Canary Island coffee tastes are leaning. Talking a look at the average consumer of Blend’s coffee. They are 20-something, beautiful looking, stylish locals. I stood out like a sore thumb, a 40-something dressed in their cycling wears. The youthful barista, speaking uno piquito Ingles was warm and assisted me with my Spanish. When I saw the Oatly barista edition milk, the Mazza Mini and the La Marzocco triple group head espresso machine. Joy. As the coffee was ground I could immediately smell the fruity notes of the Brazilian roast. Joy. As the barista foamed the milk I heard the sweet sound of steam wand tip caress the top of the oat milk. Joy. The coffee taste of the Brazilian beans was off the charts. It was so good, I ordered another, this time Costa-Rican beans.

Also the takeaway process, service and portion sizes are awful.

Then when you do get the coffee (frequently ten minutes later) it is in tiny cups that aren’t representative of the same coffee you would order if staying in the cafe.
I appreciate that is trying to cater for a more cosmopolitan audience and offers quality product and if improvements were made to these areas and service then it would be for sure the best cafe...
