Who Said Money Can’t Buy Happiness? A Solo Adventure Through London’s Cafés

They say money can’t buy happiness, but my recent solo trip through the streets of London might just prove otherwise. Armed with a love for café hopping and a sweet tooth, I explored some of the city’s most iconic spots, indulging in treats that were worth every penny. My first stop was Creme, a cozy gem known for its oversized cookies. Their miso white chocolate cookie was unlike anything I’d ever tasted—gooey, buttery, and with a hint of savory miso that elevated the sweetness. Honestly, it’s the kind of cookie that makes you stop mid-bite and say, “This is happiness.” Next up, I wandered into Dirty Mamason’s, where I discovered their iconic Ube Dirty Latte. The vibrant purple hue and nutty flavor of the ube paired perfectly with the bold espresso, making it both Instagram-worthy and delicious. The quirky vibe of the café added to the experience, with walls adorned in neon art that matched its bold menu. Finally, no café hopping experience in London is complete without a stop at Pierre Hermé. Famous for their luxurious macarons, this Parisian export has perfected the art of these delicate confections. My pick? The Ispahan macaron, a blend of rose, lychee, and raspberry that felt like biting into a piece of heaven. Of course, the journey wasn’t just about the food. Strolling solo through London’s vibrant streets, soaking in the historic charm, and discovering hidden corners of the city made the experience all the more memorable. Each café felt like a small celebration of indulgence and self-love. So, who said money can’t buy happiness? They clearly haven’t walked the streets of London with a miso white chocolate cookie in hand. Sometimes, a solo café-hopping adventure is all the joy you need. #solotrip #london
