Glad you had a good time at Prufrock. This is also a very good reminder that I need to get over to Nostos! (I need more time for cafe visits…)

[@withbrandonn]

absolutely 🙌🏻 hope you find the time to try more out

[@sevenisbreathing]

I like your giggles! Very cute and real!

[@rustyshakleford7277]

I appreciate all the work you put into these, coffee looks good 👍

[@withbrandonn]

appreciate it!

[@amedeunuabona]

There's another Monmouth Coffee at Borough Market, that one is much preferred! Watch House is a pretty good chain, the one in Bermondsey is worth visiting. Kossoffs in Kentish Town is a must, best Double-Baked-Almond-Croissant in the city! Kiss The Hippo, Qima, Project 68, Arome, Chestnut Bakery and Luminary Bakery are worth visiting too.

[@withbrandonn]

missed watch house but it was on the list forsure

[@AntonioFernandez-wm1vb]

@@withbrandonnnow you have a watch house in New York

[@irisfigs]

I have short attention span so I get distracted easily but I love watching your vlogs no matter how long they are that sometimes I often find myself wanting more content even after watching a 20min cafe vlog. They’re so relaxing and very pleasing to the eye. Keep up the great work and looking forward to discovering more ☕️ shops etc!!!🙌🏻

[@withbrandonn]

thank you so much!!

[@oliviawenke]

Amazed by how many cafes you have tried in this vlog. Just enjoyed watching it with the calmness of your voice. Feels like tasting all of them by myself. Miss the vibe of London.

[@tikaishuman]

Monmouth covent garden is always tense, i agree! Though ive never ever been able to get a seat there. Its a shame cus the coffee’s good

[@chrisknights4174]

'I wish it was warmer' should be Greggs slogan. Every time!!

[@theglossybanker]

aah you went to some great coffee places! Few more to try for next time: Kiss The Hippo, Katsute 100 (for matcha), Rosslyn, Algerian Coffee Stores, Qima (Yemeni Coffee), Nola Cafe, Allpress!

[@Jarod.mp4]

That croissant looked incredible

[@jakegovostes]

I like this dude Alex he's a vibe

[@withbrandonn]

my comedic relief

[@handerwesten]

Went to prufrock few years back while touring london. Espresso was astringent and watery. So not decent. Had it neat to see what it was all about. Not going back again. Glad you had a better time there though.

[@lydiamarshall1158]

Love how I can travel anywhere and know where good coffee is lol great video brandon!

[@withbrandonn]

always looking for the best coffee shops

[@iam-sunshinecom]

what is your camera? 😊

[@LottoLogista]

Alex's reaction to beans on toast is pure hilarity 😂😂😂

[@withbrandonn]

like did he really think it was gonna be good

[@euricari3]

Added the coffee shops to my travel list! You should come visit Melbourne, you’d love the cafes here!

[@withbrandonn]

on the bucket list!

[@grantjenkins01]

Good shit, nice video. Would love to see you go to Mexico City. If you get traditional "Mexican" coffee it'll be a different pace then what you're probably used to.

[@withbrandonn]

may have to add that on the list

[@davidcallow]

Wa hayyy the London vlog has arrived 🙌✨ Great work champ, thanks for featuring my city in such an awesome light 🤌 And bro made it out to Devotion too 👏👏👏 Just have to say, for some reason the Clerkenwell branch is not as good as the Islington/Essex Road spot- That’s the best kept secret of London 🕵️‍♂️

[@withbrandonn]

appreciate the rec! still loved the vibe in devotion it was so calm

[@valvularadial]

Cool vlog! I have been in London many times, LOTS of cool coffee shops in there. Personally, my experience at Monmouth was very disappointing, extremely busy and my cortado was prepared in a rush, not the best customer experience in my opinion. Origin is one of my favourites, also Rosslyn, Ozone and Allpress. Qima is nice too.

[@withbrandonn]

I agree with Monmouth unfortunately because I know they're pretty well known, definitely wish I went to Rosslyn

[@Shawless000]

As a Brit - Monmouth coffee can be unreal (one of the best I had there was a flat white with marzipan notes and I don’t even like marzipan…) but the shop is always insanely busy and way too small so the experience kinda sucks? It’s a bit of a weird situation there haha

[@HibariKyoua]

New subscriber here! im more of a tea person but still really enjoy coffee. Was wondering how u determine whether a coffee tastes good or not? i can do it for tea, but still struggle a bit with coffee :| Also highly caffeine sensitive so i haven't had the ability to try out too much coffee over the years haha

[@Sarahjonasx3jonas]

Thanks for these adress ! Very good vlog 😊

[@jacksongraessle1461]

I love your vlogs and have been following your Instagram for a while, which has been greatly inspiring mine. What camera are you rocking for these clips?

[@withbrandonn]

just a sony zv-1 mark ii! it’s a point and shoot vlog camera

[@DavidLiMusic]

Watchhouse is a favorite of mine!

[@doitforsoup]

i was wondering why you look familiar but then i was like "ah! it's the cool instagram coffee person!!"

[@K.estates]

do you have any recomendations of coffee i can drink i like making blended drinks and sometimes hot but im looking for a deep rich and smooth coffee taste im not as deep into the coffeeverse as you and i know you have some good recomendations thanks love what you do

[@withbrandonn]

i'd say try some different espresso blends from your local roasters, that's what I normally do until I find my go-to/favorite one. my 10/10 has been these beans that you can only get from japan, but you'll definitely find something smooth around you if you go specifically to a specialty roaster

[@RadaSmada]

Love these vids

[@bensontran]

Yoo where did you get the jacket you wore to prufrock coffee 👀

[@withbrandonn]

that was from GU in tokyo!

[@JapanCandyBox]

Hi brandon! We sent you an email a few weeks ago! Have you seen it? Looking forward to hearing from you! 💜💜

[@lizanik8541]

TIL I to go back to London and do an updated coffee crawl asap

[@withbrandonn]

real

[@vreniwittig7692]

I live in guatemala, let me know if you want beans from here

[@sunnysideup33]

I like the idea of your content, but the bumpy way you film, shows no respect to the poor audience, that have to watch that fottage. Please do better!

[@withbrandonn]

i’ll try to handhold more stable in the next one!

[@thedickhaver1225]

could not have come at a better time, going next month

[@withbrandonn]

perfect, have fun!
