\"elgin-bar\"<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

I was a newcomer in London and I was walking <\/span>to Maida Vale from Notting Hill for the very first time. I was walking, completely <\/span>lost in the cloud of my own thoughts when just like that I saw it.<\/p>\n

Imposing and cozy at the same time, opposite the tube station it has a vintage air that <\/span>lured me in.\u00a0<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n

That was my first coffee in Maida Vale. A<\/span>fter that, dozens followed.\u00a0<\/span><\/em>
<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\"elgin-9\"

Wonderful \u201cElgin coffee\u201d.<\/p><\/div>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"elgin-interior\"

Elgin’s bar.<\/p><\/div>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"the-elgin-table\"

I smiled unconsciously as soon as I saw the school chairs and tables.<\/p><\/div>\n

From that moment on, I visited it numerous times. It\u2019s always busy but never unbearable.
\nThis is the place to take your friends for brunch but it\u2019s also ideal if you want to come solo with your laptop if you prefer to work outdoors like me. (And yes you will see many professionals coming here to work with their laptops!).<\/p>\n

This is where the phase of preparation of We Are What We Do happened for the most part. That was my inspiration; the hospitable incubator of my ideas. This place hosted me for hours on end up to the moment that my friends were showing up for a proper break.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"elgin-laptop\"

Here with “Macaroni” laptop while working.<\/p><\/div>\n

+ They have the best lemonade ever!<\/p>\n

+ Try the soup with cauliflower if you are a vegetable lover and their award winning avocado on toast.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"elgin-11\"

The award winning avocado on toast, served daily from 8 until 4.<\/p><\/div>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"elgin-77\"

You are at home. You will feel it from the moment you step in. If it\u2019s a full house, go upstairs to the 2nd floor (there will always be a free table!).<\/p><\/div>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"elgin8\"

They have a large variety of beers and wines, but my all-time favorite drink at Elgin is their lemonade.<\/p><\/div>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"elgin-3\"

Great small arty touches on the way to the restrooms, down in the basement.<\/p><\/div>\n
