Can you explain my brain?
Here I am walking around in Camden Market, I have just discovered a whole new area that I have never knew it was there and I have been in this place very often. When I look to the side and I see a place called Americano.
And if you know me, how can I pass by a place with that name and do not enter and have an americano right?
Wrong.
Let me tell you all about it.
This is a really fun story and I can't wait to share it with you.
Discovered a new area in Camden Market
To start, Americano is in this area, just look around, the sun was high and shinning and I just took this photo from the door before I got it. I was almost not wanting to go to a closed place. But I still did it. I needed to see what was this Americano all about.
I had my mind set and I knew it would be super fun to write this post about an americano from Americano. I really thought I had all figured out...
When I got in and walked to the bar I saw all those bottles there looking at me, with the sun shinning on the bottles, coming in through the big windows. So when the waiter come to me I was very confused and not sure if I wanted to drink a coffee anymore.
Because the atmosphere of the place was so nice that I was not sure if that's what I wanted for sure. I got so relax and felt so good that the decision was very difficult to make.
At this point I am not sure about what to do and I am starting to forget the vision I had in the beginning.
Big open space, with high ceilings, windows all around, some nice jazz playing on the background, people sitting, talking, drinking, working. Such a nice atmosphere.
I was just so happy that I have decided to get in and stop on this place. I was in need of having a nice pause.
I obviously chose a table by the window because I wanted to have this beautiful view while I was doing some work from the laptop. How amazing it is to be in a place like this.
At this point and I haven't even told you and showed you what I have ordered I think you already can tell that I am loving my experience and also that I totally recommend you to visit and go to this place.
Just soak it in and see this gorgeous view. Okay they could clean the glass, but to the human eye it didn't really look this dirty. But it is just a small detail I can get over it very quickly.
I knew what I was going to order
Here it is the coffee machine, it was there just looking at me. I was ready to order my americano at the Americano but you already know the story end up a little bit different.
Sun out, great view, was not that cold and I wanted to work on something on my laptop. So when the waiter asked me what I wanted, instead of asking for a coffee I have decided I was going to have a glass of wine instead and that was the best decision of the day.
I have put my order on the bar and the waiter told me she would bring me the wine to the table. So I took a sit, and when she brought me the wine, she also brought me a glass of water even without me asking for it.
You know when you order wine, if they give you some water with it when you don't even ask for it, you are in a nice place. But wait that is not everything.
The biggest surprise happened a couple of minutes later.
And when you don't expect something to happen and what happens is a good surprise it really make a positive change in your day.
Here I am just chilling and capturing some photos of the place to share with you and write this post when the waiter come back to my table.
And this was such a nice surprise.
She have brought to the table some olives, some dried chickpeas and some warm ciabatta bread, with salt, herbs and olive oil.
I have paid the normal amount for a large glass of wine in London (that in all honesty is a fortune) but in the end I got a whole lot much.
Because what do you see in here if you go to any other place, ordering a side of bread, olives, and nuts or nibbles would easily add £10 to £15 extra to the bill and I had that for no extra added value.
She told me that it comes with the wine because their alcohol license. Since this place is in the Camden Market I guess they only have a license to sell alcohol along side with food.
I am Portuguese so you know that when I saw the olives and the bread my smile really never left my face for the whole time I was in Americano.
After I got this surprise on the table I didn't even took the laptop out straight away. I just had to stay in that beautiful place looking and the awesome view, enjoying the sun, the wine and the time.
I entered Americano to drink an americano because I thought it would be fun for a new post but I've end up with something way better, to be honest, no regrets at all for ordering this wine.
I will be taking my friends here and I will also stop in this place again when I am in the area. Such a lovely place.
