Portrait of Quent La Brute

Quent La Brute

Independent developer in London. He researches and writes Indie Coffee London, and makesBeanFade, a caffeine tracker for iPhone and Apple Watch.

How the guide is written

Every listing and guide here is compiled from the businesses’ own websites and a few named public sources, with the date it was checked. These are desk-research listings, not reviews from a visit, and no shop pays for inclusion or order. The full method is on theAbout page.

An interest worth declaring

He makes BeanFade, so the app is promoted on this site. Those promotions are labelled and kept apart from the directory. He is a developer, not a barista or a food-safety expert: anything on caffeine, decaf or health links to the public source it comes from.

Other work

He also builds Modraly, an alcohol tracker, and compiles Alcohol-Free London, a sister guide to London’s alcohol-free drinks.
