One of my biggest dreams as a kid was to be able to go sit for couple hours in a coffee shop when ever I wanted to read and people-watch. I lived in the countryside and didn't have a chance to do that (don't even remember if the closest town had a coffee shop). Now as an adult I am a regular in a coffee shop and because of that I even got to taste new products before they were put on the menu. So I'm living my dream :D

As a librarian I am contractually obligated to mention public libraries as OG third places…and I love the coffee shop Next Door Records in Shepherds Bush.

my reaction to seeing a new video from you in my feed is universally “oh, lovely”

@martonhabel4208 2 ай бұрын

I watched this video two months ago, and I enjoyed watching it now. I think this content Dan creates is the very 'colour and comfort' its subject the cafes represent. Thank you for being my third space

@justyourlocalrat7 4 ай бұрын

honestly, feeling the loss of third spaces extra hard because i realized i'm autistic around the same time the pandemic hit and a lot of the existing third spaces do not accommodate for that. this video was a nice reminder of how much i miss third spaces and hopefully will help me seek some out again despite all the challenges that entails

It's so true that that small routine of going to the coffee shop is so important. Either seating down to drink/read/whatever or just getting out ofr a walk and then pick up something on it. It has been a life saver these last 10 years. Going through the weirdest phase of my life and just getting out of the house, walking for like 2km and then sitting down, sip a nice cup of coffee really helps clear the mind of all the bad stuff we over-think during the day.

What great timing - in London for the first time today and on the hunt for good coffee when I return in a few weeks time. Very happy to hear that Prufrock lives up to it's reputation!

coffee and tea houses have historically also been spaces for talking about politics, publishing work about politics, and through these avenues, holding states accountable! They've been central to creating a 'public'. Now, as most things, they've been limited to commodities. But sth to think ab!

This was so nice! I love trying new coffee shops, its my favourite hobby. And as a Londoner I, of course, feel obligated to insert an opinion I've not been asked for. I love popping into the De Beauvoir Deli (the name is crazy I know. Pretend you're french it helps) for a quick dash. (Tbh its less of a pop and more of a bull barelling down a china shop) Theyve got a dine-in option across the street, if you want to consume your Monmouth coffee sheltered. Highly recommend going in the morning and asking about their bagels. They've seen me weep literal tears of gratitute for them (a rough patch, veganuary). If I need to look at a set of walls that arent my own to accompany my work, I like the ones at the London Fields Ozone. Very vibey

There's a cafe in eastcote that I used to always meet up with friends in, called the bucket list. It's got a little fake garden seating area at the back and the best cakes. We've all moved away now, but I often think about finding somewhere similar in Herts. If anyone has any recs, that would be awesome.

I'm a little jealous that you have such great places to just sit and have coffee in or just walk around in nature. In my little corner of America you really need a car to get anywhere, and the closest thing we have to a coffee place is the local Panera

This is going to sound weird, and I dont know if its still as good this side of the pandemic, but the sports centre on the south end of the bridge that runs through hyde park/kensington gardens will always be my fave coffee shop in london. The iced coffee I had there was one of the best Ive ever had, to the point where I didnt even complain that theyd obviously dropped rice into their ice (because it was in the bottom of my drink). I love that place so much I included it in a novella I wrote 😅 Also if you and the partner move to Wales I will have suggestions for nice coffee shops with lovely drives/walks 😉
