An Edible Voyage

June 2021 A perfect flat white in Belfast's city centre, with the added bonus that it's made with beans roasted in the city by Root and Branch.  Whilst you're there, I challenge you not to be tempted by the elaborate doughnuts - rhubarb and custard meringue pie, biscoff, the seasonal special creme brulee... Find Oh Donuts and Coffee on Upper Arthur Street, close to the City Hall.  They also sell Root and Branch beans as well as some guest specials. Napoleon Coffee on Ormeau Avenue also do great coffee as well as unusual iced drinks - passionfruit and lime iced tea sounds like the ultimate refreshment, and a couple of sandwiches.  I can highly recommend the sticky sesame cauliflower and crunchy purple cabbage flat bread.

January 2017 Serving only donuts and filter coffee, Pyshechnaya is somewhat of a St Petersburg institution so don't be surprised to find a queue winding its way out of the door.  Cups of coffee and plates of light, fluffy, sugary doughnuts, hot from the fryer, are served at lightening speed at mind-blowingly cheap prices.  Grab yourself a plate (one each doesn't cut it here!) and huddle at the counter. Find them at Pyshechnaya.
