Featuring a sumptuous Pina Colada cake recipe from our head pastry chef Sam Warwick.

Always wanted to know how your fave cafe gets their grilled cheese THAT gooey? Or how to recreate the kind of showstopping carrot cake you usually only find with a perfect cortado and carafe of water on the side?

The crew behind the Independent Coffee Guides have been table hopping across the UK and Ireland to round up the best brunch dishes, photogenic suppers and drool-worthy bakes to create the very first speciality coffee house-inspired recipe collection.

40 of the Independent Coffee Guide venues share their house specials – from breakfast and brunch through to lunch, bakes and cocktails. The globetrotting menu also includes a healthy serving of vegan and veggie eats.
