Oh, to be a Lattemamma. Dropping the kids at nursery, going for a little run in the park (as if…), frequenting cute little coffee shops. Like this one:

La Caffetiera on Kensington Church Street is as Italian as Kensington gets. All the froth and crema you could want from a coffee, all the focaccia and antipasti you could possibly dream up. I love this little place – it’s just as wide as the glass vitrine that lives at the back of the shop. There are two tiny tables with little stools in the window for some passer-by-spotting.

No papping, Mama!

As much as I love the Starbucks around the corner, its free Wifi and my soyamoccafuckachino in a red cup with my name on it (seriously, my name?!), I am also a fan of keeping it small and local. And for having a real coffee once in a while.
