Nothing like ducking into a coffee shop for that first time and getting spoiled from the get go. I lucked out big time this morning on a cold windy day in the burgh. Centred Coffee is a special oasis to get what you need & take with you or better yet enjoy in the beautifully thought out & comfortable environment that made feel as though I was more in someone's living room than in a retail coffee shop. Could I be in Paris or Rome relaxing in a neighborhood cafe? Maybe. Let yourself be the guide. Come relax. Enjoy a cuppa with a baked goodie.

But if you’re planning to come here and enjoy a delicious coffee along with your favourite book, you are in the right place. I would avoid their pastries. It...
Read moreThis is my absolute FAVORITE coffee shop, I think....ever. Their coffee is such high quality, delicious, & made with so much love. Also, their cold foam never dissolves, so you can enjoy it for hours (unlike most other locations - but drop the names if true). I'm obsessed with their chocolate almond iced coffee, but they also have so many other unique & delicious drinks. It is very clear that the barristers there are passionate and knowledgable about the ingredients they use/drinks & food they make. They also have cashew, sesame, & almond milk. I have even had people stop me & say "where is that coffee from?? it looks fire." IT IS. I also got this cute little art piece...
