Free Coffee: Pay With A Poem on World Poetry Day

To celebrate World Poetry Day on Tuesday 21st March, Julius Meinl, the global coffee roaster and ambassador of Viennese coffeehouse culture, is set to launch its annual ‘Pay With A Poem’ initiative in cafes and restaurants across London.

On the day which marks the importance of rhyme and verse, coffee will be the source of inspiration, with consumers encouraged to pay for their hot beverage with a handwritten poem.

Participating in the event is the Battersea-based bustling café, Manna Dew. The establishment’s Director and Owner, Mohamed AbouGhazala, said: “Partnering with Julius Meinl to unite and inspire coffee drinkers for a day has given us the opportunity to be part of a successful global event. This year we’re expecting to draw our biggest numbers of participants yet – our baristas are at the ready so come on down and enjoy unleashing your inner poet!”
