York barista Gordon Howell makes the best Irish coffee in the world – that’s the accolade he received at the world coffee championships in Nice this week after Gordon, who owns The Attic, above Harlequins café, King’s Square, was feted in 2011 for serving the best espresso in the UK.
WHO knew coffee could be so complicated? If you thought Irish coffee was only coffee, whiskey and a lump of cream, think again.
An afternoon with Gordon Howell completely changed my perception of the Irish drink.
