It’s been a proud week
Last week was pretty busy, not just in the shop itself but all over the place. On Monday on my day off I caught up with Kaffeine legend Karolina Malinowska for lunch and we went to Workshop in Clerkenwell, then on Tuesday I had minor surgery to my elbow to remove a cyst, leaving me

Kaffeine Legend – Kim ‘Kimsy bro’ – Senior Barista
It was a normal day at Kaffeine, I’m pretty sure the sun was shining, people were happy, we were busy. I was on the floor and next to me was the legend that is Matthew. Great hospitality worker, fantastic talent. I don’t think he knew yet, but we just had a position come available on the floor.
