Apologies for not writing for a very long time! Life has been busy and the number of un-visited cafes around den haag have dwindled in number. So we have had to further our search for great coffee!! Our latest travels further afield have included Antwerp and London so stay tuned for some coffee love from those places.

So that's what a good shot is supposed to look like while it's getting poured...

So we were walking through Delft the other day, past a few cafes and bars and stumbled upon this uninviting picture of a coffee...again, lots of foam and made us keep walking (though interestingly, it is also a cappuccino with chocolate on top).

A little trip to Rotterdam to see the Red Bull Cliff Diving Championships called for some research into a cafe that could give us a good coffee further afield from Den Haag.
Urban Espresso Bar is a small cafe was bustling when we arrived, looking like it is a favourite among locals. It serves simple food, coffee and cakes to its customers both inside and at tables outside. Upon reading the menu, we were surprised to see a "flat white" as their speciality coffee- a coffee we haven't seen since leaving the shores of Australia. And what's more, it came out looking like a quality cup (no latte art though) and even tasted like a quality, well made cup of coffee. There was no ciggarette-like lingering tastes after consumption either. Rather for the next hour or so, the refrain of "that was a good coffee" was heard repeatedly.
To quote the fellow reveiwer,

"you know it's a good coffee when you keep tasting it in your mouth and you want to go back for another one."

So could we have found the ultimate coffee so far in the Netherlands? It was a flat white, it was a lovely taste that lingered making you beg for more, and did I hear an Australian working there? (not that that will cloud our judgement!) The website also has photos of -shock- a cappuccino with chocolate powder on top (this is also what a cappuccino coffee is like in Australia).

In a phrase: Possibly the best we have had so far and definitely worth visiting.
