Dunno how I hadn't reviewed BelBoi yet, and now dammit, someone else has the FTR!
Anyway, when I moved to Shoreditch, Belboi was the first coffee place I tried out.
There was a lovely Aussie behind the counter who talked to me for a while about his travels which was very interesting, while my espresso was pulling away.
The coffee was good, and alas, if only more hipster coffee houses were open earlier ie before...08:30am then I would be able to get my morning hit here instead of at work.
Nevermind.
If I am picky (which I am not), then I would say I actually prefer the roast at Vintage Bean around the corner, but for friendly service and interesting chat, Belboi gets my vote.
I would like to award 4.5 stars but as I canna, I have to round down.
I'll try it again on Saturday and see if they can move it up a star ;) read more
