Stir Coffee - Brixton, London

 Jar Jar's Mocha summary
"Oh boyo mesa missed mochas! disa classic wit quality beanos."

Translation 
After a year of COVID related closures and general craziness, I've finally returned to a coffee shop to get a mocha. It's been a long-awaited moment, and the pressure for a good'n was fairly high. I've moved to Brixton since the last post, and there's an independent coffee shop called Stir Coffee just round the corner from me, so decided to give it a go.

Had a friendly chat with the barista (or maybe it was a little awkward because I can't remember how to talk to other humans), and was away with my takeaway mocha. A standard cup is slightly on the smaller size, but I think is the perfect amount when getting a sweeter drink like a mocha. I had this particular one with normal milk.

The drink itself was more leaning towards the coffee side than the chocolate - a more sophisticated ratio for people who want to taste the coffee! And it was good coffee, so all in all went down a treat. If you have more of a sweet tooth you may prefer to opt for a hot chocolate, however this fell within the optimum balance of sweet and bitter for me. I'd happily get this on a morning commute, or at least more often than a more indulgent mocha. A strong start back into the mocha world!
