    Our #coffeeofthemonth this January definitely has Our #coffeeofthemonth this January definitely has to be these beautiful geishas from @sumocoffeeroasters. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
We got this for Christmas, but later realized that @notaskilfulsailor bought a little too much coffee, we kept these carefully frozen until this month to enjoy.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
This #geishas were a Special Edition, from Colombia and are the same coffees processed two ways: Washed and Natural.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
We can’t wait to try other coffees from Sumo! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

How’s everyone doing? We have been a little nostalgic today and went through all our pictures from our many visits to #Cambridge, since today marks the birth of the author and former Cantabrigian A.A.Milne. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
If you ever visit, on a corner street between university there’s the original shop where all Winnie The Pooh toys were first sold. 🧸 🧸🧸⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

    Love your local macaroon dealer. 😂🧡🧡⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Because without them you wouldn’t be able to have tasty and dreamy macaroons every week. And trust me, it’s a sad world without macaroons! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Ours is @gisellerichardsonldn and her macaroons are to die for. We get them weekly at @primrosehillfoodmarket and let me tell you one thing: they never make it home! 🤫🙈🙈⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

    We love pizza. 🍕 🍕 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ We love pizza. 🍕 🍕 
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
It must be mostly because it’s in our blood, but when we want to go out for one or order one, we always look for the most authentic place. Because let’s face it, if it has chicken on it, it’s not a real Italian place! 🇮🇹 
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
So here’s our 5 favorite places that we always go to in London. ✨✨✨

What’s your favorite pizza place?
