10 of the best coffee spots in SE1 to visit with babies and dogs

It is no news to those who follow my Instagram feed that recently (well, it’s been over 9 months actually) I have been drinking a lot of caffeine, mostly when walking, occasionally bored out of my head, the dog and the baby in the pram.
