Walking down Brewer Street one lunchtime a shiny silver coffee cart caught our eye. The Voodoo Coffee Cartel is a sleek mobile unit parked up outside the Brewer Street NCP car park. While having a coffee in a car park forecourt may not sound all that scenic, this particular multi-storey has a history. Built in 1929, the building boasts art deco columns and is described English Heritage as an "important example of early motoring history". Pete Wills is the barista-owner and brains behind the coffee cart which he had designed and built in New Zealand. Pete, who was previously involved in the set up of Gourmet Burger Kitchen, uses a high grade of coffee bean sourced from the Monmouth Coffee Company (in Monmouth Street and Borough Market), ensuring the take-away cups of coffee are first rate. There's a table in the car park forecourt if you want to linger. But if the weather is not looking so good, nearby are two excellent caffeinated coffee shop pit stops worth checking out: Flat White, Berwick Street, and Fernandez & Wells on Beak Street.
