And a very good prompt it was too. Small, but extremely welcoming, in the lovely village of Gatley, Coffee Fix was a pure pleasure to visit.
The menu was simple but accommodating, and the special for the day (lamb and pearl barley stew) proved to be the favoured choice for all three of us. And a good choice it was! Very tasty!
Coming to the coffee, there were a couple of special brands on offer (not something you see that often), consisting of Ethiopian and Indian options.
I started with a large cappuccino, in order to satisfy the requirements of this blog, but could not resist the urge to try and Indian coffee, as I have not had one before.
The cappuccino was presented with perfect froth (but no chocolate!) and was a good size (another bug-bear of mine, when they are too small). Then came the taste....This has to rate as one of the best cappuccinos I have ever tasted. Probably just in second place (see elsewhere on this blog), but right up there. Smooth as velvet, yet strong enough to be a proper cappuccino, with a hint of something special that just sets it apart from the run-of-the-mill. A very nice surprise, and one that will ensure I go back in the not too distant future.
Having tried the frothy one, I went for a second coffee fix in the form of the Indian special which, as two of us ordered it, came served in a jug (see picture). Sweet enough to almost not need sugar, it was rather different in taste to anything else I have tasted, coffee-wise, and was a rather interesting experience, in the best possible way. I considered my coffee experience widened, and enhanced.
Now I can't wait to go back, partly for the food, especially for the cappuccino, and also to see what special coffee offerings they have available to sample. Top little shop, and well, well worth a visit. Must allow time to look round the other shops too next time.
