- We switched our Narrowboat coffee shop for a day with the lovely people from Bean and Leaf Coffee House in Coventry. They gave us some coffee training, taught us some latte art and introduced us to 'Bertha'. We also meet some people with first hand insight to Coventry canal basin's historic commercial use.

For those of you just joining us, welcome! We're Vic and Jo and we've been narrowboating around the UK for the last few years on our 54ft narrowboat Zero. Last year we decided to give up our jobs in the city and add another boat to our fleet in hope of turning it into a travelling cafe and becoming full time boating baristas.
Follow us as we learn the ins and outs of business on the water whilst cruising around the UK.

You would love me!! I'm easy I always have black Americano!!
That’s so nice! They must treat their employees great.
Yes ... Actions speak volumes..
I think they are the only employees, family run.
Love your videos thank you for taking your time to share with us
That was fun. Coventry seems like it will be one of your favorite places. Especially that clock. 😊
Well hang on a minute there Vic, what were you saying in Bean and Loaf about your coffee making? We have now experienced your coffee making skills and so we know what an excellent coffee you serve on Holly. And we loved it!
And, and.....yet again a fun, friendly and informative vlog, thanks guys.
You guys are awesome, surrounded by awesome people. That says it all.
Love the vlog. How amazing is this to get to spend a few hour with other guys. So nice of them all to visit you guys great respect
We just left our permanent mooring at Mancetter marina when we see your two boats there..............xxx
Love your vlogs, keep em coming please. Best wishes
Thanks again for video. I really enjoyed the time spent with youns. Hi william. Take care and God bless.
One of these days I want a coffee machine in our Cafe’ and to learn how to make pretty coffees like those. Smiling. I would be thrilled to make any one of those I saw here!
You really made me scared. I thought you were to abandon Holly. Glad it was just a rumor.
By far the best narrowboat vlog on the net. What a great summer you seem to be having. Health & Happiness from Colorado Springs , Colorado USA
Loved the video Jo and Vic entertaining and funny. Willian takes everything in his stride. He always looks happy and content. Have great week.
"We're going to stick around for a couple of days and explore Coventry". The first time that sentence has ever been uttered in the history of the universe!
As someone who’s come to and left Coventry a few times it’s great to see people enjoy it. Only 7 days to the commonwealth games at the Coventry arena. Plus I hear the basin has winter moorings too.
When I first read the vlog title, I was afraid you were giving up Holly and opening a cafe on land. Much relieved.
Very enjoyable video for Friday night viewing showing "behind the scenes". Many thanks to all involved with you both.
Another lovely video - I hadn’t realised before just how sinister the Peeping Tom clock is! I remember as a child going on a school trip to Coventry and one of the events was seeing the clock 😳
PS. Great acting from those extras drinking ☕️ at 9:50 ;-)
Do you study or look at different coffees? Single origins, blend etc. Think about your own roasting even...
Roast your own green beans...
Making coffee and building memories ........... what's not to like 👍
Hi Jo, Vic & William, how kool to do a swap with your coffee business for a few hours to see how others do it. That must have been so much fun. Such a lovely happy and, such a watchable Vlog, as always. Have a great week. Take care.
What a great video!!! And what a great example of how a business SHOULD BE run! I kept having to start over because of my soapbox. But thank you for offering something good to smile about!
What a different, great and coffee loving original. Well done, well done indeed. William looking groovy as always.
Did they take their name Bean & Leaf from the Los Angeles coffee shop chain called Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf?
How magnificent! It's really refreshing to see you 3 being able to do all this. What a wonderful coffee shop and owner's you met. And yes next time we are in Coventry we will be in there. Mind you we still have to meet up with you yet. We always seem to be going in the opposite way. Safe sailing XXX
What a lovely bunch. Not sure I'll ever be in Coventry tbh. but would definitely visit them if I were.
I will visit on your behalf, lol! I'm a Cov native and never been in. Need to rectify that.
You were stuck!!
My wife and I watch your video’s , we moor in Ventnor Marina on the Grand Union, we have just complete a ring that took up down the Oxford Canal onto the Grand Union at Napton junction we turned on to the GU Leicester arm up to the Trent and Mersey and the down the Coventry Canal back onto the Oxford and home. We were hoping to see you moored where we could get a coffee and cake. We did see you moored on the Coventry canal on Tuesday evening between bridge 35 & 36 by a new marina. Sadly it was around 5.30 pm and you were not trading. Hopefully we will find you when you are trading. Really enjoy your videos thank you.
Thats great.such friendly people wouldnt happen in Scotland lol
Vic, if you are really worried, you should destroy the evidence and Drink That Coffee. What fun.
Lovely people, next time I'm in Coventry I will definately be making this my first stop!
Anyone who calls a Long Black a Long Black instead of a version of an Americano is OK in my view. The best test of a barista is their black coffee - nowhere to hide.
I just feel like drinking a lot of coffee all of a sudden . Can't think why. Good job on keeping the basin open to your volunteers
Another lovely vlog. Does make me wonder if a mocha is derided as a way to ruin a decent coffee or a way to ruin a hot chocolate (I might have to stop drinking them 😛)
Bean and Loaf has such a pleasant ring to it.
So glad it was a temporary swap, though!
Phew.
Leaf, love. Bean and Leaf.
My daughter has recently been using the Bean and Leaf in Abergavenny as a base during a school Duke of Edinburgh course in the Brecon Beacons
What a cool set of individuals, employer, employees and friends and fam.
I’ll remember that coffee shop, thanks for mentioning the name ❤️
How fun to meet some of the locals who worked there…..very interesting….
Sometimes wonder if I've been turned off
Great episode. More William!
Very enjoyable though the title had me worried at the start.
Fun times to remember for years guys.
What a really nice video with really nice people and even a bit of history. The shot of the chocolate brownies was my favourite though😁
Well done that man for saving the Basin 🤗👍
Great video 🤗🍰☕🍰☕🍰
Love Sue ❤❤❤🇬🇧❤❤❤
brilliant..I was an apprentice in Coventry for 5 years back in the 60,s.....caught the bus to Pool Meadow then others to job sites...
I love your vlogs, well done.
Don't spend much time watching tv Any more, but follow 3 TH-cam channels , funny enough one is another young couple who've also had a child recently, and they also run a coffee business (Exporting).
Nomadic movement.
Might be worth getting in touch , you never know you might get a good deal.😁
To be a barista in Italy, well, def in Milano, you MUST have a degree in barista-ing. People achieve such degrees at the L da Vinci university on the east side of Milano.
If your friend’s cafe doesn’t serve Ilya coffee, then I doubt it is good. Sorry?,
I was 1000 like today, what fun! This was grand and one thing why are coffee prices so much higher here in the USA you seen to be about 1/2. Enjoy my friends
Are you going to bring Holly back and do Shardlow Inland Port Festival in September?
Loved this. ❤️
Another wonderful video full of fun and history. Well done guys. You should be proud of your achievements!
Thanks for sharing this lovely visit. Also thanks for not giving up Holly. LOL. Have a Blessed day
A brilliant video, especially the element on the Coventry Basin. If it fires you up too, could you do another session as time permits.
Do they do any teas? I am allergic to coffee.
Yes, they do.
@@crackersmom2679 Fanks a lot.
Now that was a lot of fun. Thanks
Me thinks you guys maybe start a coffee shop if the Boat Cafe life ever ends. You looked at home there.
Hello, this was wonderful fun… thank you from Oregon
Very cool!
That was a good laugh today. And what nice people.
Hi guys great video well done 😊👍❤️
Hi guys.
Your last vlog got a mention in our local Coventry newspaper online. Really enjoyed watching it makes a change for Coventry to get some positivity . I'm Coventry born and have never seen the canal basin I was surprised at how nice it was .
I'm a native too. I have been to the basin but years ago, it looks much improved!! Just sad I didn't get there when "Holly" was there!
I certainly enjoyed today’s Vlog. Sharing experience in coffee making turned out to be a great idea! Since I don’t drink coffee, I’ve always wondered how those designs happened with the milk. Now I have a window into the skill that it takes. Thanks! I look forward to whatever you have for us next. All three of y’all have a fabulous week!
James Hoffman and Morgan Drinks Coffee are fascinating channels, whether you drink coffee or not.
The most wholesome gastronomy-videos i have ever seen!
Great vlog! Coventry at its very best :)
Nice swap and learning skills again😀
Nice to see you enjoying yourselves
Loved your video. Grt content.
