Procaffeinated

Clean lines, stripped wood, potted greenery, local art, yoga brunch… these are just some of the calming factors at Chapel Street’s one-stop coffee shot shop Procaffeinated, where your daily caffeine fix will leave you refreshed rather than climbing the whitewashed walls.

Let’s start with a chat to the barista, and the specialty coffee offer includes hot or iced, and all kinds of choices. They feature regularly changing guest roasters alongside blends from London’s Square Mile Coffee Roasters. You can also pick up the latter’s take-home bags.

Alternative and lactose-free milk is here, and countertop teamsters include vegan and gluten-free pastries. Other oven-fresh treats include 4:1 sourdough bread freshly baked every day on site, available as carry-out or eat in, and perfect with the homemade chilli-infused garlic butter.

Behind Procaffeinated are Daniel Haralambous and partner Ilaria Criscuolo; the pair make all the bread as well as the brunch dishes from scratch, from hearty and healthy bowls (granola, vegan açai) to sandwiches to all manner of eggs on toast.

Their Mediterranean-inspired menu includes lemon-infused smashed avocado with house-made red sauce on that signature sourdough, toasted, teamed with either poached free range eggs and pumpkin seeds or feta and rocket.

Daniel and Ilaria have teamed up with a couple of local suppliers of craft beer and natural, organic wines, and cocktails and smoothies (think super-fresh mango and pineapple) are also available. What’s more, the light and airy space is dog friendly
