Beyond Coffee iced matcha latte

When I visited Beyond Coffee a couple of days ago, it was busy, queuing out of the door from a nearby law firm. Not today, deserted, as I found on Saturday last week.

When I visited Beyond Coffee a few days ago, I would have liked to have tried matcha, but thought no, try another day.

Today was the day.

The matcha used, the colour, I do not know. Would not say when questioned. 

Would I like syrup? Er, no thanks. The row of syrups signals bad coffee.

Iced matcha latte, mediocre, not great.

I sat outside. Heavily polluted. 

Later, I made an iced matcha latte . I did not use the best matcha. Nevertheless, it was marginally better.

Q

Beyond Coffee revisit

Sometimes worth a second visit.

My first visit, the day they opened, bad location, traffic clogged street, a deserted greasy spoon cafe, in a street lined with disgusting junk food takeaways.

Today,lunchtime midweek, a queue out the door. A large lsw firm just down the road.

The first floor, a marked contrast to the ground floor, stripped down to the bare floorboards, pleasant decor.

Back to the ground floor, a row of syrups, never a good sign.

Location of the coffee on the shelves next to a chiller cabinet,Keith hot air blowing out, not good.

Bags of coffee branded as the coffee shop, never a good idea.

Cappuccino served with chocolate, sent back.

Cappuccino in wrong cup size, too hot. Could have been better.

Staff very pleasant and friendly and helpful.

Opening times: 0800 to 1400.

The location is not good, a busy traffic-clogged road, close to traffic lights. Around the corner in one direction, a greasy spoon cafe that is always empty, the same around the other corner.

No outside seating.

Balloons. Tacky.

On the shelves, rows of syrups, not a good sign.

The coffee, sourced from a supplier of catering supply coffee, bagged in their own name.

Dreadful loud music.

Closed at four on a Saturday. Maybe not a bad idea, as from mid-afternoon onwards, gangs of drunken scum visiting the binge drinking bars in the High Street.

During the week closed at two!

One minute around the corner in The High Street, an excellent coffee shop, very popular for waffles. Five minutes walk away, two more excellent coffee shops.

A depressing contrast to The Wandering Goat last weekend, excellent coffee, knowledgeable barista.

Beyond Coffee are also in Collingham. The Allotment is the coffee shop to visit in Collingham, excellent vibes, excellent service, excellent coffee, excellent food and excellent cakes.
