AS A society of fully-fledged coffee lovers, it is important to know where you can get the best caffeine fix in Worcester. 

So we found Worcester's best-rated coffee shop on TripAdvisor and then, of course, we had to try it for ourselves. 

Since opening in 2014, Francini Cafe De Colombia on Angel Place has become a trusted spot for coffee lovers.

When we walked in the cafe was full-to-overflowing with customers, some were making a quick coffee pit-stop on their lunch break while others were catching up with friends over a brew.

Columbian Farm is the most popular coffee served at the cafe and it is made in a unique filter.

However, it is a little different to your standard cup of instant.

The ingredients include honey, cinnamon, asafoetida and cloves with the option to add milk and lime or you can have it black.

Alongside soy milk, we decided to add lime to our coffee blend and the piping hot coffee came with a fresh aroma and a very rich taste.

We were pleasantly surprised by this coffee and can definitely see why it's a go-to for so many in Worcester.

Though the ingredients are definitely a bit more obscure than your standard milk and two sugars - in Britain, at least - they really worked together.

I was pleasantly surprised by the taste which is more like a fruit tea but one with a definite coffee kick.

Cesar Malina, 40, has worked at Francini Cafe De Colombia for four and a half years and said: "We use proper Columbian coffee. It's a lovely place to work in and our customers are really nice people and [there is a] great atmosphere."
