The 50 best coffee shops and best cafes in London

Loved the coffee. I tried it iced and hot and loved it in both ways. It wouldn’t be my go to place though as they don’t offer disposable cups. Also make sure to go in a good weather as most of their seats are outdoor.

I’m a big fan of Monmouth Coffee ☕️ coz they are really good That said , for the shop in Monmouth Street , I have a few observations below :- The coffee machines are located in an elevated position / floor and customer has to line up at a lower point to pick up their coffee. The area for the line up is relatively narrow so in the event of peak hours , coffee maybe overflown/ dropped accidentally. This is a potential risk I can see for a sensible improvement. Just a thought 💭

The Monmouth coffee serves best coffee and friendly service is here. But the a cup of coffee charged almost $6. And the seat area is small unless you’re taking to go. But it’s tasted good.

Disappointing flat white. It’s another victim of social media overhype. The positive points are: the cafe storefront looks nice, there’s an outdoor seating and friendly staff. For the mean part, that flat white that I had was not delicious. The bitterness is ok but stronger on the sourness side. So it’s more acidic tasting. I couldn’t taste a hint of sweetness in it either, so it’s not a well-balanced flat white. The aroma is there but you drink the coffee and not inhale it! That’s why I see a lot of people adding sugar to their coffee - yet they’ll say it’s a delicious coffee. You don’t need to add sugar if the flat white is really good. The outdoor seating is also useless when it’s raining and the seating inside looks compact and uninviting. They charge £5 for the reusable cup and no takeaway cups are available.

Their flat white looks good and smooth, coffee aroma isn't strong enough for me. The pain au chocolat looks tasty but not crispy enough.

Exceptional coffee served with real passion. Even at peak hours, the staff are calm, knowledgeable, and genuinely welcoming. Already looking forward to my next visit.

Had a flat white, it was great. Lovely and friendly staff, they even knew names of some customers. A warm environment among the busy streets in London.

I recently visited this coffee shop and sat in for brunch. I had a great cup of coffee and tried the vegetarian eggs with hollandaise sauce. The menu said it came with greens, which turned out to be green and yellow courgettes, not quite what I expected, but still nice. The hollandaise sauce had a good espresso flavour, which worked well with the dish. The café itself is nicely designed, with an industrial feel mixed with some midcentury modern furniture. There are a few seats outside too, which is great on a sunny day. The only downside was that the person serving me was a bit unfriendly and cold. Overall, it’s a stylish spot for brunch or coffee, but the service could be warmer.

Excellent flat white; large variety of beans and brews, delicious eggs benedict. Was seated immediately and impressed by how quickly the food came (<10 mins). Very kind and courteous staff. High recommend for quick bite and delicious coffee. Bought some beans and excited to try them at home. They were organized according to taste profile. Dog-friendly. Vibe: elevated hipster meets coffee connoisseur with a streak of farm-to-table.

This coffee shop is located in nice area where you can buy good coffee alongside excellent street food. They use Red Brick Coffee Roasters beans and flat white is served in 6oz cup. The taste is full of flavour and well balanced. Barrista has done great work as you can see on picture. I’ll no doubt keep coming back as there is something unique about this place, On a scale 1 to 10 I would give it 7.5 points.

Had a lovely brunch on a weekday. Eggs were delicious, as well as bacon. Also tried a lovely almond gluten free pastry that was very nice! Service is friendly. Coffee was good. I would visit again.

I was glad to find Prufrock Coffee was just a five minute walk from the flat we were staying at in Farringdon. I was there almost every morning of my trip ordering a flat white (and sometimes a pastry). The staff are knowledgeable and very pleasant. I enjoyed the different option of a guest espresso offered alongside the house espresso. Highly recommend Prufrock as your go to coffee spot if you’re close to Leather Lane.

Stopped by here on my visit to London, due to the James Hoffman endorsement. Lived up to the hype. Really awesome people work here and also know a fair bit about coffee. The food is surprisingly good too. Heads-up : No free wi-fi if that’s important to you

The guest roast Lumen coffee from Colombia was AMAZING. Great coffee shop with super friendly staff. The seats outside can be amazing in good weather too. Massively recommend for their coffee beans.

Came here during a Sunday Brunch! Would high recommend booking as it was busy. The food was lovely! Staff were lovely! Definitely would come back here again and they were great with my peanut allergy. Lots of great coffee selections and cocktails that I need to go back and try

We had an amazing brunch at Grind! A big thank you to the wonderful team who took such great care of us and a special shout-out to Chef Antonakis Spiros and the bartender Stefano. We tried the Buttermilk Burger, Courgette & Sweet Corn Fritters, and for dessert, the marvelous pancakes , everything was spot on and delicious! The buttermilk chicken burger, pancakes, and cappuccino were definitely the highlights. We also saw Stefano crafting some incredible cocktails , they all looked amazing, and next time we’re 100% coming back for them!

Really varied menu and delish food. Coffee drinks v pricey compared to the food which is pretty reasonable for London. Wouldn’t really recommend the breakkie burrito, meat was a bit lacking, weirdly chopped up?! Also charged extra for mayo without warning. But my friends mushroom hash and ham crumpets were 10/10 so go for those!

There are moments that stick with you, not because of the setting or the price tag, but because of the way they feel. Meeting up with a girl I barely knew in London turned into one of those moments. We quickly discovered we had more in common than expected, one being our shared love for espresso martinis. So, when we sat down at Grind and spotted it on the menu, there was no hesitation. We looked at each other, laughed, and said, there’s no turning back. Now, coming from South Africa, the price tag did make me blink once or twice, but then I thought, do it for the plot. Because how often do you get to be 21, in London, at Grind, with a stranger who’s about to become a friend? Exactly. You don’t. The drink arrived, and it was everything an espresso martini should be. Perfection in a glass. Smooth, velvety, balanced, not too sweet, not too bitter, just right. Topped with those iconic three little beans, it felt less like a garnish and more like a seal of approval. Each sip carried us deeper into conversation, gossip, and laughter, the kind that makes you feel like you’ve known someone for years, even though you’ve only just met. The espresso martini was the perfect accompaniment, bold, slightly indulgent, and endlessly sophisticated, much like the night itself.

Outstanding Experience at Grind London Bridge 🤩😍🌉👌💯 I stopped by Grind London Bridge for a cappuccino, and it was absolutely perfect — smooth, rich, and at the ideal temperature. I usually find that many places serve coffee too hot, but Grind clearly knows how to make a perfect cup. The pastry I had was equally delicious and complemented the coffee beautifully. The atmosphere was fantastic — relaxed yet professional — and the whole team was friendly and welcoming. A special mention to Stefano, who provided excellent service and made me feel genuinely valued as a customer. You can tell the staff here enjoy what they do, which is quite rare in the hospitality industry these days. I’ll definitely be coming back soon, this time for a meal with friends. It’s a popular spot, so booking a table is a good idea. Highly recommended!

Such delicious food. Prices were fairly decent and the staff were super lovely. One of the workers even took time to have a lovely conversation with us (she was an Italian woman) 😊

Amazing all day bar. We had there brunch and then we came back at night for drinks. Excellent stuff. Thank you❤️

Lovely small cafe tucked away a few minutes behind the busy Oxford circus. Coffee was ok very small cup, personally wished it was served warmer . They offer a limited selection of baked sweet treats, and they do serve a few breakfast dishes.

Cosy little coffee shop. Amazing staff! It can get a bit crowded in the morning, but the atmosphere is relaxed. Good quality coffee. The pancake is on point and looks cute! Just maybe maple would be a better syrup for it (instead of chocolate).

Great find in the famous Great Titchfield street of London , a stone’s throw from Oxford Circus. The food was excellent, ditto for the coffees. This café/ restaurant is really small and seems to be over staffed. There are two wooden benches outside that can probably take no more than four people. There is not ample seating inside either. My biggest disappointment was brunch not being served after 12 noon from Mon- Fri, why? The atmosphere is somewhat non existent and their clientele consists of people from the neighbourhood, BBC employees having their coffee or the passing tourists that somehow feel unwelcome. Payment is made upon ordering at the till but how cheeky of them to display on the till screen prior to making payment if one would like to add 10%/15% or 20% gratuity or nothing ? Are we now in U.S mode in the UK? And what service are we talking about ? Serving you what you ordered at the till? Perhaps if this restaurant was bigger and offered table service than we could possibly talk about service charges? I would highly recommend going there and I hope that management is thinking of having more spacious premises with perhaps more kitchen staff.

Nice location. This area is like coffee shops mining. Nearly every step you can see and buy coffee. In Kaffeine they sell Square Mile beans but after ask them you will be awarded to taste single origin Skylark Coffee Roastery product. Good taste and aftertaste. Thumbs up for barista. On a scale 1 to 10 I'd give it 8 points.

lovely oat milk latte and useful conflab with a companion this morning at Kaffeine. Following some early laps around regents park my riding partner and I sauntered our way across to this delightful spot for a 30 min break and to set the world to rights over some good coffee. And good it was! I was served promptly with a smile and a happy outlook for a monday morning. The toilets, although tucked away and down some stairs, were clean, well ordered and flushed well when prompted (example video attached below). There was also female sanitary products available for free. Although I did not need to partake in these I was grateful they were there and enjoyed that I was supporting a business which provided such things. Decent cafe, would go back and buy coffee/use the conveniences here again anytime but most lilely when I am riding my bike nearby as this is when it is most convenient to me. They had some prince lyrics (raspberry beret) on a sign outside and I felt princely sipping my concoction outside this cafe on an overcast monday morning!

I have a bit of high expectation about this cafe. First thing, I’m glad they’re doing the banana bread toasted with butter. I thought this would satisfy my cravings for all the amazing toasted banana bread I had in Sydney. It was close enough though and probably a bit more butter needed. Are we on butter strike here? Maybe? As for their flat white….. I thought this would be on my top list but no. My flat white was more on the milky side and the coffee kick was a little weak for me. So far only one cafe was able to deliver that right balance and this wasn’t that cafe. I would still give this cafe another go :)

On my way back to the hotel from breakfast I swung by another place I got to enjoy months ago, Kaffeine…! They serve the tiniest little paper cup, perfect for a Cortado🥰This will go well with with my Cheese Croissant Sandwich and the Espresso Chocolate Cookie💚 Happy Birthday Kaffeine☕️

For US travelers: This place is probably one of the best brunch cafes that I have been to in England. It's a chain so there are a few others in various parts of London, but by this one in Shoreditch knocks the others out of the park. It was so good that I went there twice on back to back days that I stayed in Shoreditch area. The food was great! I got the brunch menu that they have on weekends and the lunch menu that they have on weekdays (went on both Sunday and Monday). Portions are a bit small compared to America, but for London standards, it was very good. I don't remember exactly the food we got but the scrambled eggs and sausage was on point. The lamb meat thing on the bread was on point. The mushroom thing was also on point. The kombucha and the latte was also on point. So good so good. Just letting you know that there are only two restaurants I went twice in London. Dishoom and this place. If you somehow come by this place, its a good place to go. It's not like a must go place necessarily, but still very very good.

my go-to place for breakfast when in london. the scrambled eggs are so good that i specifically chose my hotel for this trip by the walking distance to ozone. could (and honestly did) eat here every day. the whole place looks really cool, the staff are lovely and the teas and coffees are always great too. totally recommend!

One of the best breakfasts/ brunch you can get in London. Proper chefs executing everything to perfection and great coffee. Staff like to run away from you halfway through your order, always busy but also not that attentive. But worth the visit and potential queue for the food.

Poached eggs were lovely. I ordered spicy mushroom as a side dish which it was nice. Anyway, lovely staff and atmosphere…good coffee. Just a little bit pricey but they are still the good place for breakfast.

When they brought my plate I literally said WOW, first what a presentation and the taste matched! I ordered mushrooms on toast but this was the best I’ve ever had. Very filling. I’m not vegan but I try my best to always order vegan when I’m out and this hit all the levels needed. Full of flavour with a bit of spice, if you don’t want the spice just move some of the sauce away but it’s really good. I also got a Aperol Spritz & a juice, I always have to order two drinks. Complimentary water. I was able to bring my chihuahua and he just sat on he’s coat beside me, got some work done on my laptop. There is certain times that you can sit and eat so make sure to check out the timings. But other times you can still get hot or cold drinks. Definitely will be back, cosy warm and comfortable.

We had a terrible experience. We ordered three coffees and some food. After the food arrived, they let us know that the coffee is delayed (mind you, this is Monday before noon and the place isn’t packed). Two minutes later we were notified that the cold drip actually ran out. We asked for a substitute of cold coffee, it came out a minute later, the other coffees were not in sight. Then the second coffee arrived. We already finished eating. We asked to cancel the third coffee since it was just not there. The response we got was “oh, ok”. Finally we just wanted to get out of there, so we asked for the bill. The waiter came ready with the machine, no actual bill in sight. We had to back to back and forth with him to make sure that the third coffee was not there, and ask again for the bill to make sure for ourselves. For this lovely experience we were charged 15% service by default. In regard to the food. We had an eggs Benedict with bacon on bubbles (potato croquets) and the smashburger. The smash was good, the eggs Benedict were mediocre at best. The croquets were bland, the bacon wasn’t crispy enough and the whole thing couldn’t be eaten as a single dish. Feels like they care more about how it looks than how it tastes. 90 pounds for this meal. What a ripoff. Disappointing is not a word.

Had a soy matcha latte and it was alright for £5. It was one size only but kind of small. The atmostphere is a bit too loud as well but has a nice industrial touch. Instagram worthy if you can get a seat.

Coffee is nice, this coffee was nice. Was pleasantly surprised by the option of almond milk as well as oat you don’t always get that. Quick with their service perfectly nice to sit in and sip. Cakes and bites looked quite nice even through I didn’t try.

When I learned that there was a coffee shop just off the beaten path in Soho that just so happens to share the name with my absolute favorite coffee drink I had to check it out. I arrived 10min before close, so, I wasn't able to really sit in the ambiance that is Flat White. That being said, the staff was friendly, and the service was quick. Before I talk about the drink experience, some additional details... I fell in love with flat whites when I visited Australia several years ago and I've been ordering and making them at home ever since. One thing worth noting is that a UK (and much of Europe) flat white is not quite the same as an Aussie or American flat white. It's still the same components; rich and bold espresso shot(s) accompanied by textured milk (steam milk infused with air to create a velvety texture), but in the UK they are restricted to cup sizes for some reason (mostly to do with the ratio of espresso to cup size). I was presented with a 4oz to-go coffee cup. The flavor was great, and with execution solid. While this particular drink was delicious, I think I still prefer an Aussie flat white (or American). Having the barely bigger than espresso size feels like the drink is condensed while I want to enjoy the drink and flavor for longer.

It took me a while to get here because always was something closer but eventually I am here. We always strive for perfection and this coffee tastes better than it looks on picture. Flat white is good and smell is nice but short aftertaste. Price £4.30 per 8oz. is above average.

I had a great experience at Flat White in Soho. The coffee here is fantastic—smooth, strong, and perfectly balanced. The café has a relaxed, cozy vibe, which makes it a perfect spot to sit and enjoy a cup while people-watching. I also tried one of their pastries, which was fresh and delicious. The staff were friendly and attentive, making the whole visit very pleasant. It’s not a huge place, so it can get busy, but that just adds to the lively atmosphere. Overall, it’s a must-visit for anyone who loves high-quality coffee in the heart of Soho.

had flat white, coffee is stronger than what i usually experienced in Australia, nice after taste. 5 stars

A really cool coffee shop in Soho with a vibrant, energetic vibe. They play great music, and I enjoyed a creamy flat white along with a perfectly flaky and buttery croissant. The staff was very friendly, adding to the relaxed atmosphere. This spot isn’t quiet—the music is loud, making it ideal if you’re looking for a place with energy and good tunes while enjoying your coffee. Perfect for a lively break!

Best cortado I have had in a long time! The guys making the coffees are very nice. If you like rock music and great coffee, then this is the place to come!

Been coming for a year. Great coffee. Today 10:40am 25.02 horrible cappuccino. Basically lukewarm milk with no foam paying 4£ for this…

Very nice coffee shop near Thames City Link station and close to St. Paul's cathedral. Modern with lots of seating. Loose leaf tea with soya milk - great.

I visited Ozone coffee on a Friday morning, most people were getting takeout, and it was quite busy. I sat down for a bit, there is tons of seating inside and two tables outside. I really enjoyed the relaxed atmosphere inside. It feels private enough to sit with a laptop but still enjoy the buzziness of a coffee shop. The filer coffee of the day was flavorful and recommended by the barista. It was a good balance between sweet and zingy. I also got a croissant with the coffee, the size of it was impressive but it lacked a bit of butter, it was fresh however (total: £7)

Cozy cafe place, experienced baristas, good coffee. Recommended.

Really superb coffee, perhaps a bit of an over hyped venue. Acoustics inside are very loud, you can hear other groups very clearly. Music quite quiet. Wouldn't recommend as a place to work or read but nice spot to catch up with a friend. Service was fine, nothing stand out. I had a mocha which was made with lovely bitter chocolate. Coffee all served in ACME brand cuos which are a delight. Not many food options, and very little for vegetarians. J came at noon on a Tuesday and they didn't have very much left.

Best espresso in the neighborhood! Quality space with a great service staff. The staff know their coffee and are passionate and extremely knowledgeable! The coffee is top notch, and the pastries are delicious! Great space for a meeting, great coffee for a date, and perfect spot for a delicious espresso! Local favorite!

£4,50 for a really small cup of cappuccino , quite disappointing. The coffee was good quality but I’m not coming back, too much money and very small coffee. I added a shot drink besides for people see how small it is.

Very unique dining environment. The entrance like the train station, the interior design like a man washroom BUT very clean of course. The food is amazing. I love their sauces, all ingredients are well matched. The bread is soft and in good texture. The coffee is great as well. I would said the best I had tried in London, even not many I had tried.

Quite possibly the best latte I’ve ever had—smooth, rich, and expertly crafted. If you’re a true coffee lover, this place is a must. The experience is made even more special by the café’s unique history, and the food holds its own with thoughtful, well-executed dishes. A memorable stop for both caffeine and culture.

Very cute! We arrived 10 minutes after they stopped serving food which was a bummer as we were hoping to try the avocado toast. I got a cold brew and some carrot cake. Both were great and I’ve struggled to find good cold brew in this city. It’s centrally located and around a lot of other things. It also wasn’t really busy so would recommend going during the week and in the afternoon to avoid crowds.

Incredible place, small but full of charm. The coffee is the best I’ve had since I’ve been here, and as for the breakfast, I don’t even know what to say — it was delicious. The service, without a doubt, is also on par with their products, as it was absolutely top-notch.

Such a great find! It was small yet cozy and cute. The “train toilet” theme was executed perfectly and i found it quirky than weird. The match was so delicious and amazing priced considering its in central london

Absolute recommendation! The staff is so kind and friendly and the food was super delicious. It used to be a former public restroom so the interior as well as atmosphere is rather unique!

Attendant Coffee Roasters – Fitzrovia is such a unique and unforgettable coffee experience! The café is built inside a restored Victorian toilet — yes, you read that right — but it’s been transformed beautifully into a cozy, stylish, and surprisingly charming space. The attention to detail in the design is impressive, mixing vintage character with a modern touch. The coffee is top-notch, roasted to perfection with rich, balanced flavors. I tried the latte, and it was smooth, creamy, and perfectly brewed. Their pastries, especially the croissants, are fresh and delicious. The staff are friendly and efficient, and the atmosphere is relaxed yet full of character. Definitely one of London’s most interesting coffee spots — a must-visit for any coffee lover! ☕💫

Service friendly but not very focused, a bit distracted.. However what I don't understand are the recent comments about the coffee... The coffee itself is of outstanding quality with very rich aromatic notes. You can taste them even through milk! Incidentally the cappuccino has milk textured to perfection. The coffee has also some chocolatey notes that are the signature of high quality. I fear that some reviewers don't know much about coffee and possibly benchmark against coffees that are just less intense and complex.

Lovely little find, I decided to pop in just before a meeting for late breakfast. The service was fast and friendly customer service. I liked the atmosphere aswell. I ordered the aubergine vg breakfast, i would say the flavours were quite strong for the morning and there was a little too much sauce. The presentation was nice and the food still tasted fine. I just wouldn’t order this again as a breakfast meal. Will try other meals next time round.

It doesn't look perfect but tastes good. Blend Brazil and Colombia beans chocolate, nutty, nougat flavour. Nice, minimalist yet cosy little premises with cool art on the wall and nice staff. They say they believe great coffee should not only hit the spot but also leave a lasting mark. With their fresh approach, they're sure you'll feel the difference from the very first sip. A flat white for £3.70 for 6oz cup seems okay. They have a coffee roastery to promote their brand, the cups feature the company logo, and they use top rated espresso machine. Everything what is necessary to succeed in the coffee market. On a scale 1 to 10 I'd give it 8.5 points.

Found this place by recommendation from a TV programme and I was impressed! It’s a really nice cafe! Cosy vibes, trendy and felt really comfortable when I was there. I heard that they serve a good lunch menu though the purpose of my visit was to try out the bacon sandwich on their breakfast menu! They did not disappoint. Really great sandwich, delicious and nicely put together. Thickness of the bread and good amount of bacon and egg was nicely done. Loved how they also presented their tea, really nice and funky. Staff are professional and friendly. If I have time off during the week I will visit again as it only opens on week days.

One of my favourite coffee shops in central London. Coffee is secretly phenomenal, and staff and vibe authentically friendly and chill. NB you won’t find anywhere else nearby with this standard of filter batch or cold brew

Has management changed? I used to love the coffee here but since after Summer it tastes really average if not bad at times. And the I don’t recognise the staff. Wondering if it’s under new management. [EDIT] had to reduce service stars to three. They forgotten my order multiple times in the past weeks. Don’t think I’ll go again.

The coffee is good (luckily more and more places are serving awesome coffee in London), but the pancakes are super good! If you like the sponge-y japanese style pancakes, this is your place for them! It's not really common to find this specific way of cooking pancakes and in this place they do it perfectly!

Starting with the positives - the coffee here is really good. The prices here are on the high side £4.20 for a flat white, latte or cappuccino. The pastries are not cheap at £4.30 for a croissant. The staff did explain the pricing and justification and actually that was helpful. Wholesale coffee prices have been rising The service is fine but watch out for the attempt to try to charge you a service charge/tip on top of the drinks prices!! Never in London have I seen a coffee shop that has requested to add a tip onto a coffee. There is a small number of companies in London that seem to do this to try and rinse as much money from tourists who come to London as possible. Only a tourist would consider paying a tip for ordering a coffee in coffee shop where there is actually no service element involved apart from taking your order from a counter, and you have to pick up the coffee yourself. It feels cheeky. Having said that, if you are wanting a good coffee, then their coffee is really good.

I think I have found my new favourite coffee spot. The iced mocha was okay, not the worst drink I’ve ever had but I definitely won’t be getting it again. Their iced latte with oat milk and brown sugar syrup is delicious! The servers are really nice and welcoming and I definitely need to try their almond croissant. Edit: I finally tried their almond croissant, it was superb! However, I felt like it had too much filling.

very nice atmosphere on a small intersection, very friendly staff and tasty food & drinks. i had a cappuccino, a tea and one of the best pain au raisin i‘ve ever had. will definitely return next time i‘m in london

Amazing cafe right in the heart of Shoreditch. Thank you for the delish coffee, matcha and food! Sam and team are so lovely, beautiful latte art 😍😍😍

The atmosphere was lovely and much more relaxed compared to the café opposite. The staff were warm and welcoming, which made the experience even better. The coffee was excellent, but the highlight for me was the banana bread – perfectly warmed up and served with a delicious, creamy sauce 😍. Such a thoughtful touch! I’ll definitely be coming back.

The All Press team are absolutely wonderful and what sets this coffee shop apart from every other place in London. Josh, Annabelle, Jacob, Sam and Max are honestly glorious and make my day every time I’m in the store - it’s the team that make me go into this store every day! Coffee is always sensation!

Can’t believe I paid £4.30 for this tiny iced flat white and nearly £4 for a pain au chocolat where the chocolate was basically missing. At that price, I expected at least to find it.

Top company well run well done to all employed

We went for my birthday while visiting London. It was some of the best tea I have had. We loved the decorations in there and how cute it was. Every detail was thought out. They were allergy friendly and had a variety to chose form. The tea was bottomless and it was so delicious. It was so nice to be able to try different teas. The only downside is that it is very small in here so you felt like you were right on top of the people next to you. We made reservations ahead of time and I am so glad we did because if not the line was extremely long. I would highly recommend! Our server even put a candle on my finger foods for my birthday!

We reserved for a morning breakfast tea and it was nice actually all the pastries served was nice however the yogurt granola given was too sour that we couldnt eat all ..then that maybe can be amended .however, overall was all nice. Staff are hospitable they even offer to take photos for memories. Thank u so much

I’m coming this place because is really pretty! I’m from Miami and I love the pink place! Coming this morning, Friday 10 am the place have people but no to much… We take the table outside the lady tell m I can go any table available. She comes for the drinks and take some time to come again for the food, also I need to ask somebody to take my order for the food… because she never come back again, is not to much friendly. For the food We ask for 2 lates to much stronger I ask for more milk and still was impossible, I left all 2 coffee and nobody ask me for the drinks or the coffee are ok… The food the avocado toast was a lot of avocado but didn’t taste to anything. I ask for the egg on the side and scramble… but then give me a poche scramble discussing. The rest was ok but nothing special. I try to go inside to take a look for the place but the same lady to take the order said I need to wait outside I can’t go inside 🥴 Really he didn’t like to have a customer service! But then they charge you 12% for service charge and didn’t go to the server You have a lot of place with better food price and customer service! The best you can do! Take a picture in the door and go to take a breakfast in the other corner!

I visited Peggy Porschen Belgravia Ltd in June and had a wonderful experience. We ordered pancakes and coffee, and both were absolutely delicious. The café itself is stunning with beautiful decor that creates a lovely atmosphere. The waiter was exceptionally kind and attentive—he even offered to take a photo of us at the entrance when he noticed we were struggling to take one ourselves. His friendly and warm interaction with my children made the visit even more special. Highly recommend this place

Peggy Porschen Cakes in Belgravia, London, is a must visit. This is the most charming bakery café I've ever visited. Not only is it the most charming atmosphere with stunning outdoor installations for every season, the food is excellent and the bakery items are simply delectable! Do not miss this darling bakery on your next trip to London, England!

The atmosphere is lovely and the place looks super Instagrammable, really pretty inside. We managed to get a table as walk-ins on a Saturday which was great. But WARNING: unfortunately the food was terrible. The avocado salmon sandwich had avocado that was clearly off, the eggs Benedict were extremely salty, and the lavender and rose lattes were sickeningly sweet. The cupcakes tasted really artificial too. Honestly, it feels like you only pay for the photos and nothing else. We’ve never eaten anywhere where both food and drinks were this bad. Paid £70 for two “mains”, coffees and two cupcakes. The staff didn’t even ask if the food was tasty or if everything was ok – probably because they already knew.

We visited Peggy Porschen during a short London stay. Super friendly staff, great atmosphere. We loved the cake. It tastes as gorgeous as it looks. Also the breakfast was awesome! If you are around in London and are in search of a piece of cake, a clear go-to place.

Such a nice place with a great atmosphere and genuinely lovely staff. The shop might be small, but the choice of coffee beans is excellent. I loved the coffee so much that I had to buy some to take home. I will certainly return to stock up next time I'm in London!

Amazing coffee! We had two double espressos — rich, smooth, and full of flavor. Algerian Coffee Stores is a hidden gem with great service and loads of character. A must-visit for coffee lovers when in Soho!

Buying coffee here felt like an experience. The shop is so charming, and it’s such a delight to be able to smell and choose between different beans. Highly recommend a visit to anyone in London—or passing through—who loves good coffee 😊

I love this wee Algerian coffee shop in soho, whenever i visit london, yeno i got to swing by & pick up a espresso or a double. The smell of coffee in this place is a coffee connoisseur dream. Its like ye stepping back in time of yester year & the shop is 138 years old( if me maths if correct) Oldest shop in compton street. The staff are amazing & the customer service is brilliant. I went in today & mad busy, much as its a wee shop , its like a tourist place too. Today i skipped the espresso, i have due to it being busy & decided to buy myself a wee souvenir , a wee espresso cup with Algerian coffee on it and the saucer with it. Decided i make a affogato in this heat & my coffee and cup looks so pretty. As a caffinated queen, this shop is heaven I be back again soon As we say in N.I - ATS US NAI

This is how shops should be. Customers only want 3 things - service, availability and value. The service in this shop is incredible, the staff knowledge of their products is very impressive. There is such a wide choice of coffee available - beans, ground whatever you need. The value is incredible - £1.50 for the best double espresso I can recall tasting ever. They also have unique gifts - chocolate, teas, coffee machines etc. This is a unique independent family store which is worth a visit for that alone. There are generations who have never experienced this level of excellence. Give the coffee chain a miss tomorrow - the Algerian Coffee Store will open your eyes to a unique coffee experience at an unbeleivable price. I cant recommend this more highly.

Great place! Super friendly staff and amazing coffee beans. Definitely my go-to for quality coffee in London.

Nice coffee with a different taste comparing with any speciality coffee here in London.

Small cup with heaven inside. The best coffee I have had in a long time. If you are a coffee lover this is a must go place to visit. I had flat white. It was incredibly smooth and balanced with long lasting aftertaste. Interior is basic and you can't feel luxury and prices are going up soon but who cares if you want to taste excellent coffee. On a scale 1 to 10 points I would give it big 9. Well done.

Lovely place, great spot for people watching and amazing coffee. The filter was especially delicious and I’m normally an espresso person. The customer service was perfect too - would come back for the expertise alone.

A nice café near Oxford Circus but not as busy as expected - so it’s a good choice if you want to work remotely for a bit! There are some savoury options, if you’d like a bite but you’re not in the mood for cake!

It was a great pleasure to find this little cafe by an accident, absolutely no regrets, amazing coffee, great atmosphere and really helpful barista :)) thanks for helping us find the perfect coffee for that moment! This meeting made our day:)

I came for a coffee and a pastry with my dad. The coffee was the best we've had so far in London, and the pastry was lovely too. The staff were very kind, happy and helpful. Would recommend 😊

Situated in a quiet alley, it’s a really great place to come. The atmosphere is very unassuming and pleasant. Coffee - 8.2: perfectly sized cup of flavoursome coffee. The East End Blend they use is slightly dark but the fruity notes are pleasant enough to take the edge off. It’s described as a day drinking coffee but I also think it is strong enough to be your first of the day if you pick a flat white.

Have had a quick coffee break with friends here, ordering a flat white.I am sorry but I have to say I am a bit disappointed with the coffee quality, which I thought this is a specialty coffee shop with high coffee bean quality. If you like very strong dark roasted coffee, perhaps it’s still a good option for you.

The restaurant offers delicious food and a lovely atmosphere, making it a nice spot for branch . However, the prices are a bit on the higher side, and the portion sizes could be more generous for the cost. Overall, it’s a pleasant experience but slightly expensive for what you get.

Had a lovely brunch with my friends here for my birthday, however: - prepare to queue (we queued 1 hour) - service is waaaaaaay below average: for the amount of time you wait in the line, you wouldn’t expect to wait 20min for each coffee ordered, because let’s be honest: it doesn’t take 20min to make a cappuccino! I ordered 2 and waited 20-30min each time! - food was good - prices are London prices, nothing shocking! To be honest I didn’t get the whole farm/healthy vibe..I think it’s a regular brunch place, but the food was good, so if you are not bothered by the above points, I would recommend a visit. Dog friendly!

£16 for some scrambled egg and little bit of toppings and £13 for 2 small pancakes with barely any sirup and 2 sad looking pieces of bacon presented with barely any effort!! Sorry, but for the food offered AND the presentation the price needs to be much much lower!! Drinks were fine, matcha was very milky and not enough matcha and the cappuccino cup was quite small for the price as well. Ambience is nice and service was fine. But definitely not visiting again if I am hungry and want to feel satisfied after eating.

Definitely pass !!! Not worth the hype or price ! Honestly food was overpriced, not good and dry and pancakes were burnt and dry with no syrup. Drinks were mediocre. Wait was long. Restaurant was drafty. Staff was also not attentive and weren't very polite. Overall do not go here, so many other options

Wonderful, fantastic brunch!! Uau! Delicious, well prepared, good ingredients, the portobello mushroom was incredible good. The vibe and ambience is super cool. I loved!

We love it here! By far the best location of farm girl in london! Tipp: Arrive early and not that hungry - especially on the weekends it’s quite crowded and waiting in line may be part of the experience. :) (It’s worth it tho)

Honestly was really disappointed. I have eaten at their South Kensington branch and loved the coffee and food there as it is easy to see their allergens. The line to get in at Notting Hill was about half an hour at 9:15am on a Saturday which isn’t their fault. However once I got in the service was truly terrible and not just because they were busy. They didn’t realise I hadn’t ordered and wouldn’t make eye contact for another 20 mins. I ended up having to wave across the restaurant to get their attention to order and had to get up and stand next to their register to pay. The food is decent but in the pricier side.

I was very eager to try this café as I read all the great reviews but unfortunately the egg sando was very dry and bland which was so disappointing since this is one of their "known" menu items. I also ordered the matcha which was extremely watery and didn't taste much of matcha which was a shame too so I couldn't really say I had a pleasant experience but the location is very nice and the café has a pleasant and comfy vibe to relax and chat/work.

A very popular café every time I walked by it was crowded, so I never stopped in😅 but they actually have seating in the basement. The matcha coconut cake was amazing! (I cant remember the exact name😅😂) Coffee was okay, and the staff were lovely

Lovely café with a beautiful aesthetic. The Americano is EXCELLENT , one of the best I had in London. The staff are always so friendly. It does get crowded and seats fill up fast, but definitely worth a visit!

1. Seats: On ground floor, 1 table with 2 seats inside and 2 table with 4 seats outside. On B1 floor there are 6 tables with 12+ seats. 2. No laptop. I've read many posts which were written by foreign students who were doing their dues here, please respect the requirement of the cafe and stop the wrong information. Even today I still saw a student using her laptop… 🤷🏻‍♀️. 3. Light on B1 floor is relatively dark, but it's good for relaxing or chatting with friends (low voice volume please). 4. The matcha tart with white chocolate is super delicious and long black is also very good! Definitely a comfortable place for recharging or relaxing.

My experience at this café was truly wonderful. The ambience is cozy and comfortable — a perfect spot to relax, read, or get some work done. The staff was extremely polite and welcoming, which made the visit even better. The coffee was fresh, rich in flavor, and perfectly balanced. The snacks were delicious as well. Overall, this café delivers great quality, excellent service, and a warm atmosphere. Highly recommended!”

I arrived today at around 09:30 AM and all the sandwiches including the egg sando and the salmon & cream cheese — were already gone. Only buns, croissants and the matcha curd were left. I also tried the matcha curd with white chocolate, and unfortunately it is not worth ordering. Service is average as well, not welcoming.

A stylish and minimalist café. The coffee is okay, the vibe is unmistakably Monocle—clean lines, curated playlists, and international charm. However, the space is tiny, with very limited seating, which makes it less than ideal for lingering or having a long chat over drinks. Expect to queue, especially on weekends or during peak hours. It’s more suited for a quick caffeine fix or takeaway than a relaxing café session. If you’re in the area and appreciate a sharp cup of coffee in a magazine-worthy setting, it’s worth a visit—but don’t plan to stay too long.

Lovely little coffee shop with a sleek, minimalistic vibe. Great location and ideal for grabbing a quality drink on the go. I met there with friends before heading to an event and we enjoyed our drinks inside. The drinks are definitely the highlight – my hot chocolate was rich and full of flavour (though I do wish it came in a larger mug!), and my partner’s mocha was excellent. The staff were friendly and attentive, which really added to the experience. That said, seating is a bit limited and not the most comfortable, and it can feel quite cramped when it gets busy. Also worth noting there’s no customer toilet. Still, for the quality of the drinks and the overall vibe, it’s definitely worth a visit.

🤩This small, stylish coffee shop offers a cozy atmosphere with a sleek, minimalistic design—perfect for grabbing a high-quality drink or catching up with a friend. 👍The standout here is undeniably the hot matcha latte, which is crafted with noticeable care and precision. Smooth, rich, and perfectly balanced, it’s a clear sign that the shop uses high-grade matcha powder, making it one of the best matcha lattes around for true matcha lovers. 🙁The staff are just fine, 👎👎👎They had so dirty aprons that I immediately wanted to see the manager and say it to him/her. I just was in shock where these staff looks and what is in their minds, that they don’t see it and can’t see their colleagues too... It doesn’t add the welcoming vibe at all, though the space itself is quite compact with 👎😥limited and not particularly comfortable seating. It can get crowded, and it’s important to note there’s no customer restroom🤯😱. Still, the overall drink quality more than makes up for the small drawbacks. Whether you're a matcha enthusiast or just looking for a well-made beverage, or a 👍coffee which is definitely is very good es well, this spot is definitely worth a visit. 👍It's a great place for a short break, a quick catch-up, or simply enjoying a perfectly made hot drink. I definitely come back here to try something else and want to see what matcha powder they use. 🤯But I definitely know that there is NO washroom If the manager or someone from this place will read my review, please write me what matcha powder you use🙏 It was the best I ever tried👍😜 👍👍👍🤗I definitely recommend this place

I usually pick up a matcha to go and the taste is always strong and it’s clearly made well. Very cool spot but often can get incredibly busy and is a bit cramped. Service varies but it’s also a morning coffee pick up, so hard to expect much when churning out coffees. The square Japanese style little treats are really good.

Better to study the menu online before, because you can only see the menu until you reach the till. Quiet, in favour of the wood interior, although the barista crazy busy on making coffee and super speedy. Coffee normal, and sit in experience is recommended. May need to wait for the seats.

Decent for authentic matcha and coffee. Staff were able to describe all the notes. Limited seating, but nice and airy feel. From £4.30 per drink.

There isn’t much space available but we got lucky and got two spots when we walked in. Ordered a mocha and matcha latte plus tried out their light bites (£1.7) per one. They don’t offer decaffeinated options, drinks are overall a little more on the higher price range but would still recommend a try as this brand is pretty popular worldwide, I’ve tried the one in HK before.

Really cool japanese style cafe. Pretty small space with only bar countertop style seating. But the owner is really nice and the drinks are very good.

Locating at a corner of the street, the cafe can be spotted far away from the street. The design of the cafe was simply and comfortable. Plenty of benches were provided outside the cafe. There were a variety of coffee, tea and chocolate provided. We ordered an iced oat latte, a hot latte and a hot motcha. All were great. Service was efficient considering there were quite a lot of customers (we visited at 4:30pm on Wednesday). Would definitely come here again next time.

This is the best coffee shop in the world top of London at the minimum you have to go -- I have the sweetest while your puppy will bring them there.

Quite simply the best coffee in London City. Primarily takeaway, with half a dozen stools inside and a bench outside. Positioned to get a lot of sunshine: beautiful spot to enjoy a good flat white on a sunny day

Really good coffee. Good for takeaway, everyone is here for takeaway. Had a good flat white and a long black.

Sweetest baristas ☺️🍀 and great almond matcha! Maybe one day you could have coconut too 🥹🙏🏻

Fantastic coffee. Very pleasant atmosphere in the nice part of The City. And yes, they work on Saturday.

I’ve been hearing a lot of recommendations on Rosslyn Coffee, so I decided to visit on a Friday morning. The coffee shop is small, and there are no seats but tables by the window. There were tons of people getting their coffee to go. I ordered a pour over coffee (from their guest brew) and a soft serve. While I was waiting for my coffee, the barista offered up a Peruvian brew to try, which was lovely. They also got me a cup of sparkling water for my table. Everyone I interacted with in this coffee shop was extremely friendly and attentive! The coffee I had was smooth and flavourful, the soft serve delicious! Highly recommend this place, it made my morning!

It is my fifth or sixth time here in the coffee shop for the past four years and they are not maintaining the same. They are actually getting better and better. the coffee and the beans are so good as usual

I arrived just a min before it's closing, but they were still very nice to make a cup of latte for me. Latte was so good as it's rating, definitely will try again.

From Melbourne coffee standard that I am familiar with, the filter coffee seems to be roasted a touch lighter. However, the Ecuadorian that I had had a good flavour structure with apricot, citrus, a hint of pineapple and mango, which I absolutely enjoyed.

Popped by on a quiet Saturday morning for a cup of filtered coffee. The barista recommended the Colombian blend and it was so smooth and light. Will be back to buy their beans for sure!

Nice hidden gem, would it be for people shopping at Oxford street or Merylebone and need a recharge! Nice coffee and pastry! Their coffee blend is slightly into fruity notes, not too much (for those who care about their taste)

Ok coffee spot, they don’t serve slow pour (chemex, v60, hario) which is kinda weird for a nice roasters coffee spot like that. I got a flat white and it was decent, but did not rock my world.

Sometime, simplicity is what you need. Their blend based on Honduran beans. Good roast, well balanced and velvety smooth. Well crafted flatwhite. Don’t go here if you are looking for comfort seats and tables. The establishment concept reminds me of a waiting room in a clinic. But it is their coffee which will make your joy. Will be here again for dessert!

This place was recommended by a barista from my fav coffee shop. The vibe was really nice and cappuccino was smooth. What’s most surprising was the canelé! It was tender insider but slightly crispy outside. I like the texture very much!

Everything about this café is amazing, from the cozy atmosphere that feels like a small living room to the charming decor and small seating area. I loved it. It is so cute and feels truly local and independent. The matcha was incredible as they use ceremonial grade and it was absolutely perfect, one of the best in the area. You have to stop by when visiting Spitalfields and their baked goods are wonderful too.

Lovely small specialty coffee place, we just came in when they opened and sit and in few minutes it was already full. I guess this is popular place and I can confirm that I was really satisfied with quality of the coffee. We had double espresso and batch brew. The espresso was really tasty, fruity and funky, batch brew was softvér but still very easy to drink with fruity tones. It was possible to buy coffee beans as well. If you are around, this is good choice to get specialty coffee.

Quaint little coffee shop with a relaxing atmosphere. There's limited seating and no public restroom so it's probably only a good place for solo people or duos looking for a quick spot to enjoy a drink. I got the iced hojicha latte and the coffee walnut cake. Both were delicious and a great way to start my day.

Nagare Coffee is an awesome little gem just outside Spitalfields Market with big Japanese grandma energy. Expect beautiful interiors, soft lofi beats, and a serious coffee game. Their house brew is smooth, slightly fruity, and perfectly balanced — no bitterness, just vibes. I had an iced coffee paired with a hot one (both served beautifully - just look at those ceramics), and the miso caramel shortbread was the standout bake. The earl grey muffin looked the part but leaned too sweet for me. Service is quick and friendly, with drinks brought to your table if you’re staying in. Seating is limited, especially indoors, but the buzz and cosy vibe make it worth the squeeze. Highly recommend for anyone into great coffee, minimal design, and pastries with personality. Heads-up — a Soho branch is on the way.

Very cute coffee shop right off Spitalfields market, very relaxing aesthetic inside. Sadly though terrible coffee 😭 I got a cappuccino, however it was so milky and light in colour that I almost think they might have forgotten to put the coffee in, full stop. Took it away so didn’t realise until I was halfway to Liverpool Street, and at that point couldn’t turn back without missing my train. Disappointing; for £4 it should have been made properly.

Very cute and cozy cafe with good coffee. I love all of their coffees and keep going back.

Convenient central location for a bank holiday brunch. Booking online was straightforward, and they had a high chair ready for us, which was great for families. We ordered the baked eggs, Korean fried chicken with pancake, avocado toast, and the English breakfast. Filter coffee came with a thoughtful note about the coffee’s origin, which was a lovely touch. The food took a little while to arrive, and while everything tasted fine, nothing stood out as exceptional. Still, it’s a decent option for a relaxed brunch in a lively setting.

Great ambiance and a warm welcome at reception, but that’s where the positives ended. The food was consistently mediocre. The fried chicken pancakes were especially disappointing: dry, oddly sweet, sour, and spicy, not to our taste. But the real issue was the service. I understand things get hectic when it’s busy, but what stood out was the clear lack of care. We were served by Zoe, who made us feel like we were inconveniencing her. It took 25 minutes before we could even order, and only after I called her over. She forgot our water, never checked in on our meal, and when the food finally arrived, the waiter accidentally collapsed both our pancake towers. We gave feedback on the food and asked for the bill. Ten minutes later, they offered free coffee, which never arrived. Instead, they removed just two drinks from the bill, even though we were a table of four. We were planning a business lunch here next week, but we’ll be going elsewhere. Disappointing experience overall, never coming back.

Went here to meet family. Had decent vegan options, but felt the food was quite oily. I did love my tofu red curry!

Great meal, lovely ambiance. Came in solo to have brunch before visiting Tate Modern and highly recommend. The jalapeno cornbread with egg and chorizo was awesome.

Loved all the food we had here! Fab espresso martini too.... would return!

I visited Caravan London Bridge for a 17:30 reservation on 31 October. To start with the positives: the serving staff were absolutely brilliant (warm, friendly, attentive) and genuinely lovely throughout the meal. They handled everything professionally, including when the sweet potato arrived so undercooked it was completely raw, and had to be returned to the kitchen. They dealt with it promptly and without fuss, and I appreciated that. Unfortunately, the rest of the visit wasn’t as reassuring. Shortly after finishing my meal, I became unwell and experienced a very upset tummy! (I’ll spare you the details) while still inside the restaurant, which was upsetting, uncomfortable, and embarrassing. Especially as we had travelled into London for dinner and an event afterwards. I contacted management afterwards, and while they replied quickly, the tone of the response felt defensive, focusing heavily on internal logs, numbers, and the fact that no other guests had complained. They emphasised their food safety processes repeatedly, but seemed unwilling to acknowledge that even with strong systems in place, standards can fall short - as demonstrated by the raw sweet potato and the fact I became unwell immediately after eating. Despite explaining exactly what happened, no refund or goodwill gesture was offered, and the priority seemed to be distancing the restaurant from any responsibility rather than showing empathy. I did politely ask the Operations Manager and she explained this is not “Caravan’s policy” to offer refunds or a gesture of goodwill. It’s a shame, because the team on the floor were wonderful. But the way management handled my experience left me feeling dismissed rather than cared for as a guest. I hope this feedback encourages Caravan to combine their procedures with a more compassionate, human response when something goes wrong. Not every response should be so heavily formal sometimes even a simple gesture, like offering a complimentary hot drink, can go a long way. Sadly, I will not be returning or recommending the restaurant.

The Ceaser salad is 10 star. We ate there a month ago. My wife still brings it up every few days. The coffee based old fashioned was unique. Maybe a hack. I liked the potato croquettes. The mains were bla. The wine recommended also bla. But the salad remains a life event.

Famous to be one of the old Coffee Shops in London. Tried their Cappuccino, it was mediocre . Have a nice vibe if you want to hang out with friends just to have the experience.

This place is a hidden gem! It’s a classic Italian coffee shop that’s been around for ages. They serve up some seriously fast and tasty espresso, and their cannolis are to die for.

I used to love this place because of its coffee and Italian desserts, like canoli and tiramisu. We always had a pleasant experience sitting at the outdoor tables watching the world go by. However, yesterday we decided to go there for some cappuccino and canolis for my birthday and got served by a grumpy man behind the till. We sat outside and, as I didn't know that they had a new policy of not letting people sit on chairs that encroach on the pedestrian side of the sidewalk, I pulled a chair because there were three of us and unknowingly positioned myself on the no-sitting zone, well, partly because there was no more space for me. Anyway, as I was about to take a sip, we were interrupted by the same man to reprimand us, rather rudely, that they don't allow people to sit on my side of the table anymore and that I should return the chair to its original place after we're done. Fine. I said sure, fully understanding the situation. My wife tried to interject to say that we didn't know the new rules and it was out of force of habit. But the man cut her short and said to let him finish. Now, we ran our own restaurant as well, and we know fully well that this is not the way to treat your customers. I thought for a moment if I had to tell him not to speak to people that way and be more polite, which makes good business sense. But, I decided to let it pass because I was not going to let a bad apple amongst good ones ruin the mood and experience that we were having that day. But, it ruined that particular experience for me anyway. The silver lining, there are thousands of other spots in London to take our business to next time.

Bar Italia on Frith Street, located in the heart of Soho, London, is an iconic coffee shop that has been serving customers for around 75 years. Known for its quality coffee and vibrant atmosphere, it's a beloved local institution. Recommended !!!

What better place to start our Pulp concert weekend adventure??!! A lovely little cafe. Lovely coffee. Relaxed atmosphere. So pleased we visited.

An institution for a reason. Try to grab a table outside and watch Soho pass by. The coffee and pastries are excellent. It's right opposite Ronnie Scott's. It only closes for a few hours very early on the morning. Definitely worth a visit no matter what time of day or night. There will always be something interesting going on.

It was like stepping back in time visiting this iconic coffee shop in the heart of Soho. Lovely coffee, and great, friendly staff

Had brunch at Juliet Quality Foods, a popular spot in Tooting. They’ve got a nice automated ordering system, which I actually liked for the efficiency. We went for some of the hits — banana bread, caviar eggs, and smoked pumpkin eggs. The smoked pumpkin was the standout for me, along with a surprisingly excellent latte. The banana bread was good, just didn’t fully get the hype. Still think Milk does the best one in London. Very friendly service. Overall, would definitely recommend.

We stumbled upon this spot completely by chance three years ago, and it turned out to be brilliant. Ever since, I’ve been raving about their smoked caviar and sourdough at least once a month. We finally returned to see if it lived up to my memories and it absolutely did. This place is truly one of my favorite breakfast spots in London. The concept, the menu, the vibe. Everything is amazing. The pumpkin omelette rocks, and the way they use firewood in their cooking adds such depth and character to every dish. Big love ❤️

Travelled from SE London to visit this spot! Wow!!! Everything amazing. From the interior vibe and space, friendly warm welcome and service and the DELICIOUS menu. 100% recommended - brunch menu is all so tempting. Coffee options too! I will definitely be returning - there’s also a cute outside seating area

Very very very nice place. The brunch we had we must admit was one of the best we ever had. Hats off to the chef! The interior is very clean, modern and has a friendly atmosphere, and the background music is excellent!. The staff were excellent and informative apart from one of the Barista's whose front of house manners were in our opinion not very welcoming (hence 4 stars for service) but luckily she didn't put us off staying in one of the best places that we've had brunch at.

In really enjoyed this place, the food was great, coffee was on point and the service was top notch. The burnt butter banana bread was sensational. Only comment is I feel like the price is a bit ridiculous for brunch but that’s just London now.

We went for brunch and the food and worth the queue. We sat outside (which was covered and heated) and only had to wait 15/20 minutes for a table but it does get busy so be prepared to queue. The dishes and coffee are definitely worth the wait though

A real hidden gem. We ordered the folded eggs with smoked caviar, the poached eggs with bacon, hash browns and avocado. The hollandaise sauce with fermented chilli and espresso is sensational and very unique. Do not skip the Roast Cocoa Champurrado, a Mexican chocolate hot beverage. Everything here is very high quality. A few outside tables for breakfast in the sun, very casual setting with lovely music. Be warned there are often long queues but if you arrive by about 10ish you'll be clear. The food is a bit of a star, it's seldom a breakfast can have a uniqueness we've not come across. I will be having a mimosa/beer next time, lovely vibes.

Great quality of produce and coffee but some of the staff are highly unreasonable and dismissive. Today they didn’t allow the usage of laptops in certain areas even if a half of the usual work area is blocked by them. They behave as if it is a hipster temple run by baby power trippers. Not everyone, of course, but there is one guy in particular who sticks out like an arrogant wanna be boss:( too bad really. I really liked the place otherwise. From today I will be going elsewhere:(.

Really cute coffeeshop. You can watch them roast beans while you’re drinking your coffee, which I thought was pretty cool. The coffee was really good and the pastries looked delicious, I will be back for a cardammom bun soon!

Charming coffee spot offers a delightful retreat for caffeine lovers. With its inviting outdoor seating area, it beckons patrons to unwind and savor their brew amidst a backdrop of fresh air. The outdoor seating is undoubtedly the highlight of this establishment. Tucked away from the traffic of the streets, it provides a serene oasis for those seeking a moment of tranquility. Whether you're catching up with friends or diving into a good book, the comfortable chairs and wooden tables set against a backdrop of potted plants create an ambiance that is both cozy and refreshing. Of course, the star of the show here is the coffee. Brewed to perfection, each cup is a testament to the artistry and dedication of the baristas. From rich, velvety lattes to bold, aromatic espressos, the menu boasts a variety of options to satisfy every palate. The beans are clearly of top-notch quality, resulting in a flavor profile that is robust yet smooth, leaving a lingering warmth with every sip. Equally impressive is the service. The staff here exudes genuine warmth and friendliness, making you feel right at home from the moment you step through the door. Whether you're a regular or a first-time visitor, you're greeted with a welcoming smile and a genuine interest in ensuring your experience is nothing short of exceptional. Their knowledge of the menu is extensive, and they are more than happy to offer recommendations based on your preferences. This has certainly become my new favourite weekend breakfast and coffee meeting joint with my friends.

Great outdoor seating space, fast service. I got the toasted banana bread with espresso mascarpone, it was fantastic! I wish they sold jars of that mascarpone cream!

Top Roasters and one of the best Coffees I've had in a long while. Great staff and super friendly. Great place tucked away in Dalston

Definitely one of the best coffees in the area they roast their coffee on site which is very impressive and super fresh. The stuff is very friendly and have a great service. I had a latte for the past three days and I keep coming back to this place because it is great.

There is always a que at Batch Baby and for weeks I would cycle past and wonder why. Today I stopped by and found out why. Great coffee, good pastries, a friendly service and good crowd of customers. An Americano and fig Danish pastry cost me £8 and I had to que for 10mins on a busy Sunday morning, but it was worth it. The coffee was very good and the pastry was light, crumbly and moist. In short I would suggest joining the que, I will be.

Buzzing atmosphere, 3 exceptional batch brew filter coffees available (from Spanish roasters this month) and an awesome breakfast sandwich too. Really pleasant team at all times too.

The coffee here is absolutely superb — rich, high-grade, and exactly how I like it. The location is convenient, and the real bonus is that it opens at 7:30, perfect for early birds who enjoy catching the morning sun. Overall, just perfect.

I so much enjoy when I see specialty coffee shops taking care of their filter coffees (even more, when it's part of their name ;) ). There was a selection of batch brews (4 if I recall correctly) and the one that i had was in a very good shape with rich flavours. The people behind the bar were very polite and they took their time to explain me the available varieties.

The first time I came here I ordered a 1:1 which wasn’t great and I left thinking that I could’ve ordered better. Came back a second time and got the house batch and a flat white. Batch was served too cold and I couldn’t drink it all. Flat white was good however. I really want to like this place because the staff seem knowledgeable and the vibe is good but I’ve been underwhelmed each time. I was expecting better from a place I’d heard good things about. Maybe I’ve come on an off day??

Passionate coffee makers who in particular pride themselves in filtered coffee/batch brews and alternative latte style coffees with a South American twist. Knowledgable, friendly and inclusive team that work here. Pastries serves are the most well sourced within the London area, those cinnamon buns sell out quick

The Best Cold Brew in London (the UK?, the World?). Batch Baby set the standard for cold brew coffee, simple as that. With diverse and ever-changing roasts, I have never had a bad cold brew here, and i've easily had over 100 by now. The team here get coffee (and cold brew) better than anyone. Very good bean selection for cold brew at home too, including their own signature roasts which are reliably sublime.

actually visited because the other cofee shop was closed that day. didnt disappont tho. nice coffee, good service.

Absolutely adorable shop. As someone who wants to one day own a coffee shop herself, this cute little hidden gem gave me a lot to take note of. The space, though small, was very tidy and aesthetically pleasing. The service was wonderful, as the staff was very kinda and considerate. It’s located in a great area right next to Burroughs market, making it the perfect pit stop if you’re looking for a good cup of coffee. Adorable name too, and I love the irony of how it is, in fact, run by mostly women. 💗

A well mannered and cultured coffee shop in London Bridge near @boroughmarket The Gentlemen Baristas Coffee stores @jampot.coffee serves a great cappuccino and other coffees, beverage and pastries. Seating space is limited and there are some high bar chair near the windows and benches outside. A quiet place amongst the hustle and bustle of Borough Market. Friendly baristas and service.

Nice little place tucked away adjacent to Borough Market. Monmouth Coffee was closed. But luckily I found this place next to APC Surplus. Good place for OTG Flat Whites. Not enough seating tho which could come in handy for the London rains. Good stuff tho. Thank you.

Pretty good iced latte and not a milky one. Try this if the other popular coffee spot is too busy

I saw that The Gentleman Baristas was recommended in a local London coffeeshop book, so I also had to give it a try! This branch close to Borough market is very small, with limited seating, but the atmosphere is lovely! The barista is knowledgeable and friendly. I enjoyed my smooth latte (beans from Brazil), and the croissant I had was decent as well. I sat down for a bit by the window and enjoyed the quiet time on a Friday morning.

Not the biggest fan of the coffee, but the coffee shop is quiet and cozy—a nice change from the busy market just around the corner. The baristas are friendly and welcoming! Price for a flat white is £3.60

Definitely a unique spot with an interesting activity. Went for the diy biscuit decorating which was somewhere in the £60 range for 2 people which I do think was decent value but we only got to decorate 3 biscuits each. It was good fun the staff were friendly and it was a really chill spot to be. We were given an hour slot when booking but were allowed to stay much longer because it was quite empty. Can’t blame the staff but it sounded like they were excavating batmans cave below us the entire time which was obviously far from ideal. Aside from the diy biscuits themselves, we got carrot cake (top 5 I’ve ever had( I’ve tried a lot )) a hot chocolate with all the trimmings which was really good, a pumpkin spice latte and cream tea scones which were also good (made fresh with a 15 minute wait) cool place, good service and about as expensive as you’d expect. 8.8/10

I visited Biscuiteers Notting Hill for the Afternoon Tea & DIY Icing Experience for Two, which I received as a gift (usually £68 per person via Biscuiteers or £143.50 for 2 on Virgin Experience Days before discount codes). The interior is beautifully decorated; monochrome in the classic Biscuiteers logo and very Instagrammable. However, the afternoon tea area itself felt a little small and cramped. It would’ve been nice to have a bit more space to relax and enjoy the full experience. But it was a nice little table for the icing experience! The icing experience was genuinely lovely. We got to choose from various biscuit themes, the London Collection, Mother’s Day, and Floral Collection, and decorate them using piping bags and a guide. A special shoutout to Saima, who was so kind and attentive. She showed us different techniques, offered help whenever needed, and made the whole experience feel warm and welcoming. They also had vegan biscuits and vegan icing available, which was perfect for my friend who is vegan. The afternoon tea, however, was a mixed bag. The savoury options were great, I requested no ham, and the team swapped it for extra salmon. The cream cheese and cucumber was classic and delicious. The scones were good, but the standout was the strawberry jam, which was unreal. The patisserie selection was also tasty, beautifully presented and full of flavour. However, we were disappointed by the lack of vegan alternatives. We were informed via email that there were no vegan scones or patisserie, and instead of offering a substitute, I had to request a vegan alternative myself via email which should really be handled proactively by the team.. We were given only two Little Miss Hug biscuits as substitutes. In 2025, that feels like a real missed opportunity. Overall, it was a fun, therapeutic, and very memorable experience, especially the icing part. I’d recommend it as a gift or special treat, but with the caveat that the vegan offering still needs work. A little more space and a more inclusive menu would make this a perfect day out.

Wonderful, soothing atmosphere in a cosy setting, with a beautiful tea. The personal service was exceptional—our friendly waitress, Sophie, made the experience feel truly special. Biscuiteers Kensington is a delight.

First off if I can give the service 12/10 I would. We had a group of 6, with 5 being out of towners and London being London, trains were down and traffic was terrible so they were late. The manager was so accommodating and turned what could be a stressful situation into a lovely one. Everyone enjoyed themselves and loved the shopping afterwards. We all enjoyed the food in the afternoon tea, especially the pastries! It was a great experience and am grateful to the staff for making it a memorable one for everyone.

A lovely place, we did the afternoon tea and then the biscuit decorating. Everyone is very friendly and the atmosphere is great. Would recommend!

Very cute coffee , prices not cheap but you pay for the atmosphere and the deserts and the coffee is very nice as well ! Worth visiting definitely

Very warm and fun activity, Sophie was very nice and helped us learn very quickly

We visited this place for brunch as two people. We started with a latte and a flat white, which were nice but nothing too special. For food, we ordered the Bondi and the smoked salmon with poached egg. Both dishes tasted great, with very good presentation and flavor. We also tried their apple juice and lemonade, which were both fresh and delicious. Overall, the brunch was great value for money, the food was tasty, and the staff were polite and caring. The service was excellent. The place itself is beautiful, with a cool vibe, making it a very good spot for brunch in London. Definitely recommended.

Friendly helpful staff, example Mila & Maria. Small menu but well prepared and presented. Reasonable prices. Salute to the designer and decorator of this branch; well designed and decorated. Outside and basement seatings are the best.

We enjoyed Daisy Green for brekfast on our first day in London. Food, atmosphere, service and staff were excellent. We both love breakfast and always look forward to new breakfast places at home or when we travel. Staff was very accommodating when I realized that I accidentally ordered the incorrect dish for my wife (was jetlagged and this was my mistake, not staff mistake) after they brought our food out. They offered to make the correct dish for us at no charge nd brought us the correct dish. My wife enjoyed the Smashed Avocado and I enjoyed the Fancy Bacon Roll with a side of Halloumi. We shared a croissant with Americano coffees. Amzing food, great flavors, high quality ingredients, and nice presentation. The decor and the design of the restaurant is very inviting and looks well thought out. Would recommend Daisy Green and we will com back when we are back in London. Thank You Daisy Green for making our dining experience a great one.

We queues outside not for long, only around 5 minutes. Then a kind polite waiter led us to our table. We could order online or at the till, we ordered at the till. The time for the food to come took 10 minutes. The Salmon was tender and the bread was toasted to a crisp on the outside, and a warm, soft texture on the inside. The Poached egg was really good and the yolk was runny and thick and consistent. You did have to pay a £1 extra to eat in, but it was still really worth it. There was a bar with a selection of champagne and spirits.Our waiter, Jacqui, was really kind and polite. We had access to water to help ourselves. The atmosphere was really small, but in a good way to make us feel cosy especially in the winter. And there was also a selection of sandwiches and pastries. Overall, I love the presentation of the the food and the cosy atmosphere, along with the politeness of the staff.

Such a quaint restaurant. Yes, they have vegan and vegetarian options. They even have a vegan chocolate cake. I ordered the portobello with vegan cheese sauce. It was unique, made in house and delicious! Highly recommend!!

We came here for brunch and it was an amazing experience! We ordered crispy bacon roll and shakshuka, with a cappuccino and a flat white. Food and coffee were 10/10, what was more heartwarming was the very welcomed atmosphere. Elina greeted us and delivered an exceptional service, her smile warmed up the gloomy London autumn :)) definitely will visit here again!

We visited for Sunday brunch and had a really lovely experience! The welcoming, vibrant atmosphere was complemented by beautiful presentation of each dish. We ordered the sweet corn fritters, smoked salmon royale, and bacon roll - all very tasty and generously portioned. We barely had room for dessert, but the pancakes looked too good to resist! The attentive service made the visit especially pleasant and heartwarming. The team took the time to walk us through the menu in detail, explaining ingredients and gluten-free options with genuine enthusiasm. Many thanks to Audi, Bea, Mitchie, and Elina for their warm hospitality. Highly recommend - we’ll definitely be visiting again soon!

This place is absolutely beautiful and aesthetically pleasing. I had such a great time there with my friends a few weeks ago. The staff are super friendly and nice. And the cakes, teas and coffees are divine!! This is a lovely place to go to chill and hang out with friends sipping some healthy drinks and indulging yourself with their delicious cakes! Thank you so much. (I felt so bad that I couldn't finish my piece of cake. Next time, I will haha.) I'm definitely going to visit again!!

I’ve been wanting to visit ‘Palm Vaults’ for ages and I was in no way disappointed when I went for a late lunch yesterday! There was a 20 minute wait for a table which was expected given the social media buzz this place has acquired. Whilst queuing the staff brought us iced mint water and cake samples and kept us updated on how long the wait would be. Once in I had the ‘Unleash the Dragon’ smoothie, the smashed avocado on toast and finished up with a generous slice of the Palm cake - all of which were divine and served promptly with a smile. The gorgeous decor and abundance of greenery makes for a welcoming, bright setting which is reflected in the attentive, conversational staff.

Chic and nicely decorated cafe, with lots of plants. What’s good about it is their range of specialty lattes which is interesting and pretty because of their colours. I liked my dirty chai and the rose latte was good as well. Staff were also friendly and hospitable. Will stop by if I’m in the area.

Classic hipster hangout which I enjoyed. Great to see an independent cafe with so much character thriving! Portions were just a little small for the price and the focus of this cafe is veganism and image as opposed to health foods (cakes use refined sugar). So I wouldn’t be back here super fast. But still a lovely spot if you want some pretty looking vegan cakes, drinks and food.

Interesting cafe. The pink latte (coffee free) was very nice. Being rose flavour, I feared it would taste like soap, but it doesn't at all. I ordered an additional espresso to drop into my drink on the advice of the staff (so I could try it with and without coffee), which was a nice suggestion. I had a caramel brownie, which was nice and squidgy. There were a few very nice looking sweet treats on offer and a small menu of specials. The cafe is worth a visit if you are in the area and hankering for a pick me up treat.

Such a cute place! Filled with flowers and so much pink, even the tissue paper in the toilet was pink. Me and my friends all ordered avocado on sourdough bread with various extra toppings and we were all satisfied with our food. We also tried the cakes (pineapple cake and rose cake) which were lovely, soft and not too sweet, and the rose one wasn't too overpowering. I was a bit sad that they didn't have any matcha cake that day but guess its another reason to go back.

I like it here. The coffees and other drinks are faultless, and the cakes are delicious. I have yet to sample the good but i plan to. Only downside is the space itself. I find the acoustics bad and there's little privacy. It's a girly space!!

This place is quite famous and happens to be close to my office. Really lovely environment with both indoor and outdoor seating — you can choose whatever you feel like! Their pastries are exceptional and huge! This is exactly what we all look for when it comes to delicious pastries, isn’t it? This is my second visit, and after checking the reviews, I decided to try the Bacon & Maple one since it seemed quite popular — and yes, it was absolutely delicious! The pastry was crispy yet moist from the maple syrup, not too sweet, and perfectly balanced with the bacon, which wasn’t too salty either. The sweet-and-savoury combo just made me keep eating! The croissant was also really good — fluffy and buttery — and the flan had a unique flavour, maybe dark sugar or malt? They also offer unlimited water, which is great for people like me who don’t drink coffee or tea. Definitely recommended, and I’ll be back again soon!

The place has a really nice vibe and the service was very good. The highlight of the visit was definitely the pastry. We had the maple and bacon swirl and it was out of this world! The best pastry I’ve ever had. Definitely recommend getting it warmed up as well. The coffee was also very good. Will definitely come back :)

Great on a sunny day as there is lots of outdoor seating. We ordered the sweetcorn chowder which was served super hot with tangy fresh sourdough, the bacon maple swirl, this was nice but was expensive! My almond croissant was well filled and not too sweet but a little over cooked. For two coffees and the food it cost £27. We came on a Friday to a full cafe but we could get a table straight away.

Highly recommend Pophams! I came here on my travels looking to try pastries in the UK and this was definitely the top place. We had the maple and bacon pastry. Was delicious, temperature was perfect, and was baked so well. Service was very friendly and really enjoyed the atmosphere as it was a chill and relaxing vibe. I also really liked how their menu showed which were vegan, and had nuts in it.

Long queue on a Sunday brunch - same queue regardless of takeaway or dine in. Found a nice spot facing out, ordered the yoghurt with granola and portion was quite small for the price. Yoghurt also had a strange cream texture, still good. The classic parmesan twist was crispy and savoury. Cardamom bun was perfectly crispy with the savoury cinnamon flavor.

The best pastries I’ve ever had in my life and this is not an exaggeration. The maple and bacon bun is so interesting and full of flavour, the coffee is incredible and I’ve come back to have the cardamom bun again and to share it with my mom and she loved it to. The lamination, the caramelised outside of the pastry, the butteriness, the salt levels and the rich cardamom flavour. It’s just perfect. Their coffee was also incredible. Would give it 1000/5 if I could. Will come back again, 100%.

Lovely bakery with loads of outdoor seating on a peaceful street with a beautiful homegoods and pantry store next to the bakery. Highly recommend ham and cheese croissant and the cardamom bun. Bottled green juice was also excellent.

The portions are very good for the price. I had a pleasant pancake and one of my companions had a nice chili style egg and chickpea brew. My other companion had an odd cream cheese and strawberry combination that didn’t come off. Slightly odd not-quite unisex toilets and a bizzare propensity of limes. Payment also weird - two different virtual tables at our one table so we couldn’t pay for a while.

I absolutely love the venue here. It’s a really lovely place to sit. We got a few bits to share, the spiced cauliflower which was lovely, the steamed cod dumplings (had too much lemongrass in the sauce for my liking) still nice though, and then the salmon rice bowl, which also could have done with some of the flavours being more balanced, price wise it is a little expensive for what you get but I would go back again.

The atmosphere at Caravan was really pleasant, busy but not too noisy. The food was tasty, and I’d consider going back.

The food here was absolutely stunning! We had the red curry and it was a perfect mix of flavour. The tiramisu was also very creamy and soft. Our server Rita was sooo nice and we had a wonderful chat with her.

I visited here for a business meeting, and was impressed. The staff were extremely helpful and friendly and went out and of their way to assist me. I personally didn’t eat anything, but other members of my group did and they said the food was of good quality. The atmosphere was vibrant and it was quite busy for 9am in the morning so if you were visiting during a peak time of the day, lunchtime for example, I would definitely recommend booking. One point to mention would be is that they do have long tables with bar like stools in the section I sat in, so some less mobile people may find it more challenging to use these chairs. However, this was of no concern for myself or the group I was with. I would certainly recommend visiting here.

The cocktails are amazing. I had the house margarita and it has exactly the right balance of sweet and sharp. Delicious! My husband had the tiramisu martini and said it was like a dessert in a glass. Make sure you have the cornbread when you're there and don't forget to squeeze a bit of lime on it. The service was perfect. Really friendly and kind staff.

Lets start with the positive. My oat milk iced latte was probably the most delicious i have ever had hence the 4 stars. I don't usually feel compelled to leave a review but felt i had to after i decided to be adventurous and ordered the jalapeno cornbread fried egg whole jar of pesto, feta and pickled onion..... circus. Was someone high when they concocted up this madness on a plate? Is this really a best seller 😭 my friends avocado egg looked AMAZING. She thought she was being boring ordering it, but it was really sensible. I will be back, for the coffee and whatever she ordered, but i have been put off ordering new things for now 🥺

I passed by this small cafe while at work, and since I had some time to spare and the weather was quite cold, I decided to go in for a coffee to warm up. Although the cafe is small, there are plenty of seats, and it has a cozy and inviting atmosphere. The staff was very polite and friendly, greeting each customer warmly. I ordered a mocha and a pain au chocolat. The food was nice, and the mocha, with its beautiful latte art, instantly lifted my spirits. However, I did notice that the lighting in the dining area was a bit dim. I look forward to trying more items from their menu next time!

Best coffee I’ve had in a long time. Service 10/10 from the girls behind the bar tonight despite being full to the brim with concert goers (we were going to see a concert at Eventim Apollo and stopped here for a couple of drinks). Great selection of cocktails and wine, including alcohol free options. The place is small but warm and cosy. Coffee is a must try.

great cocktails, very friendly staff, if you are going to a concert at Eventim Apollo, this is a great place to go to before the concert :D

Cute little coffee shop. Very nice coffee and friendly barista. Price might seem a little bit higher than other places but taste definitely worth it all. Highly recommended to try it at least once and will be back once in Hammersmith area again.

Fab coffee, if you're super into your coffee this is probably the place for you, nothing really dulled down by syrup flavours so you can appreciate the coffee. Service was quick but the guy serving us seemed a bit too cool for school and wasn't the most friendly but he was also by himself so could of very well just been a bit rushed. The music was very loud so wasn't really the place to go to chill out but can defo imagine it being great in the evening. Great location too Would love to try this place again for food as the menu looks lovely!

Great place for brunch. Asked for sunny side up eggs instead and they delivered it. Cooked well. Food tastes amazing and the coffee is great. Coffee is on the smaller side though.

Excellent flat white, very smooth yet strong and a bit bitter. However, coffee is very pricy, +0.50 for alternative milk (4.70 for an oat flat white to have in which is way too much) and the interior is shabby.

It's a perfect place to take a break and spend some time reading a book inside a church. Really a hidden place, large & quiet indoor atmosphere . You can enjoy outdoor seating also with a cup of coffee and cake , probably a good place for a quick work meeting . Staffs are very friendly.

Hidden gem, that needs to stay hidden. If you want somewhere to sit and read a book in peace and just escape London for 20 minutes, this is the place to go. With great chocolate and a good selection of pastries, snacks, and the like. It was a joy to visit. The coffee shop is in a church, and this gives the entire place a peaceful atmosphere. One of our favourite places to visit while in London and I wish we visited it sooner!

Love the ambience inside this cafe. It was great to take a break inside after walking around Tate and crossed the bridge. Friendly staff and plenty of seating.

I found this gem by accident. Made the perfect mocha and took extra care with my dietary restrictions. My beverage was nice and hot too. Will definitely pop in again when I’m in the area.

A lovely cafe hidden in a beautiful church. Friendly barista. Splendid decor and interior. The iced latte was okay, not catching up with the atmosphere unfortunately. Both indoor and outdoor seating available and it’s very laptop friendly, good to work/study. There’s a small secret garden at the back of the church, which is a great spot to sit, relax, or read with coffee when the sun’s out.

Epic place! It's a coffee shop in an old church, which is so cool. The space is spacious, and the staff is super friendly. Crosissant wasnt my fav tho It might be a bit on the expensive side, but the great atmosphere makes it worth it.. probably a good place for a quick work meeting

Been here twice now, people have said the atmosphere is great and I’d definitely agree. It’s friendly, warm, good lighting but also, fantastically spacious, which is rare in London, considering so many coffee shops are crammed and very small. The coffee itself is really really good, I will definitely be going back again for that. The staff are friendly. I haven’t tasted the food, so can’t comment on that, although it might be good to have a bit more of a selection cake wise, but looking forward to going back again soon with friends/family.

Very good tea and coffee, which we went to a nearby park to drink. They also sell a variety of pastries and other baked goods - the sausage roll was fantastic. There was a friendly atmosphere, and lots of options for people with allergies.

Beautiful cafe to work from. I had the clementine and chocolate cake and it was beautiful, my friend had the pumpkin one and it tasted amazing. Coffee was also really good!

A great place to work and catch up with friends with a great coffee. I love the atmosphere and the team, they are always friendly and nice. We've been buying coffee beans from them for 2 years and they have the best choice in the area. I will be moving to another area soon and this place I will miss a lot!

Cute coffee shop serves Assembly coffee, nice pastries, also some nice lunch items. I was in the area so stopped off for a latte a pain au chocolate they also sell a few grocery and gift items.

Their soy-glazed tofu sandwich is so good I went back the next day for another. Also the coffee is excellent.

Lumberjack is a top flight coffee stop. While many places claim to be a community, this is clearly the conviction of the capable service staff. And the barista’s are incredible. Every cup is thoughtfully made. It is also a great spot for remote work. The seating area is quiet and respectful. The shop also has retail items that offer unique wines and gifts. The outdoor terrace is a hidden gem.

Enjoyed a quick breakfast here. The coffee was very nice and I liked that the granola wasn’t too sweet. Seating is either downstairs or outside but there is a lot of space. A very nice range of products available in the shop too

I'm only a couple of months in the UK from Australia but this place had some of the best filter coffee I've had since arriving. Totally hidden and is mostly a roastery but the place was buzzing so the wholesale side of their business is obviously going well. They had 2 batch brews on offer & after enjoying one, Lincoln, the barista gave me a sample of the other. It was so good I had to buy a bag immediately. If you're serious about the coffee you drink, DAC is worth a visit. Keep in mind, there is no dine in cups, no seating and limited food (pastries and a couple of cakes) but they've got plenty of retail coffee options and brewing gear

Dark Arts Coffee is not your average café — it’s a cult roastery with a rebellious soul. Tucked away in Hackney, this espresso bar delivers coffee with precision, personality, and a bit of punk-rock flair. The beans are roasted in-house, and each cup feels like a small act of devotion to the craft. We tried the Lost Highway blend — rich, complex, and beautifully balanced. Whether it’s a flat white, filter, or cold brew orange mocha frappuccino (yes, really), the flavours are deep and memorable. The pastries — especially the pain au raisin — are indulgent and generously sized, perfect for pairing with your caffeine fix. Seating is mostly curbside, but that only adds to the charm: moto enthusiasts, heavy music, and a steady stream of loyal regulars make it feel like a scene, not just a stop. Highlights Expertly roasted seasonal blends with real character Buttery pastries and standout croissants Gritty, unapologetic vibe with heavy background music Friendly, knowledgeable staff who know their beans Final Thought Dark Arts Coffee is for those who take their brew seriously — and like it with a side of edge. If you’re craving top-tier coffee in a setting that’s anything but generic, this one’s a must.

Went into the shop on Monday and the barista was so sound and made me the tastiest latte! I bought a bag of beans off of their recommendation and she’s just as nice from home - big fan, huge. Also, will make sure to visit the shop again after such a nice experience, 10s across the board darling xo

Small space for tasty coffee. I got the filler coffee for my American palette. It was good. I might get a second cup in a second.

This is a mid tier roastery. There are far better roasters throughout the uk yet simultaneously they dont do terrible things here. If I had a week to live I wouldnt choose dark arts yet I wouldnt not brew em if thats all I had, if you catch my drift

They are not serving foods anymore. No more seatings, only take out coffee. So sad but the coffee is so so good. They have variety of options. Some pastries. Overall, a good place to grab a quick takeaway coffee. One of the best coffee in London so far I have tried.

Tremendous coffee and roasters. Good atmosphere and service. The latte was nutty and a great temperature. Got there just before closing and has a delicious croissant, although a tiny bit stale to be expected but the flavour was super buttery and it was really big so I didn’t mind.

Not the best curated place but amazing coffee in vibrant Brixton Village Market some more attention to the interior decor would help ...not many seats inside and only few table outside if you lucky to grab a spot is a very enjoyable place to suck in all the energy of the village market while sipping your coffee and people watching ! They also have some pastry I love their cinnamon ban with moka w/soy as combo!

Fabulous coffee but don’t bother with takeaway food - I waited 10 minutes for half toasted bread, which I then had to attempt buttering myself (and no jam/basic toppings on the menu). Sit in breakfasts did look amazing, just don’t think takeaway should be offered if it’s not done properly.

Baristas were super friendly and dedicated to their work. Seemed to really enjoy working there. Love the vibe, outdoor seating is really cool, they give you blankets to use while you're out there!

Small coffee shop in Brixton Village but good ambience and good coffee. As a digital nomad, the only thing I feel disappointed is no power outlets. I cannot stay longer. 😂

An absolute gorgeous place though absolutely terrible customer service! I have basically just been thrown out by the staff for absolutely no reasons. This happened while I was quietly waiting for a take away coffee that I have been told would take no less than 5 minutes be be served. I had no problem to wait if you were busy, dair enough, but it s not a reason to be rude! I asked for my money back and left, unfortunately I wont be back

One of the best places in Brixton for quality coffee - Pastries/cakes aren't too shabby either.

The coffee is always amazing (ask what they have on batch brew), the tunes are always banging, the food is simple but very high-quality and the staff are a delight.

Great coffee place adjacent to French Connection - with toilets. Ideal to work, grab a coffee, or have a little break while in the area, but away for the hustle bustle of Oxford Street

Great atmosphere. It’s Mayfair so it’s quite pricey but I wish the latte is tastier. It has a good texture though. The pistachio cookie tastes delicious but it’s just a bit sad in terms of volume, such a thin piece for a high price.

I’ve always been a big fan of Attendant’s Shoreditch location, so when I found myself needing to kill an hour or two in Mayfair, I thought I’d pop into their Mayfair branch. It’s tucked inside the French Connection store, so it kind of feels like you’re having your coffee in the middle of a boutique, which is quite charming in its own way. The place wasn’t busy at all, and there were plenty of tables by a big window that lets in a ton of natural light. There’s also some outdoor seating, which makes it a great spot on a sunny day. Unfortunately, the experience was completely let down by some truly hostile customer service. The guy behind the till, a short man with a beard and a plaster on his face, possibly Middle Eastern or Indian, gave off zero warmth. No smile, no greeting. I asked if I could have my iced coffee in my reusable cup (which I had just finished another drink with), and he looked at me like I’d asked for something outrageous. “Why? You want me to wash that?” he said, visibly annoyed. I told him it just needed a quick rinse, no washing required, but the attitude was already out in full force. To top it off, their prices aren’t exactly friendly either. £4.95 for an iced black americano in my own cup. That’s steep, even by central London standards. I understand that working in an area like London Mayfair means you're likely to deal with demanding and sometimes even disrespectful customers. But let’s try to treat everyone with respect and greet everyone fairly. It’s really not hard to offer a basic level of courtesy. What a shameful way to ruin my impression of a coffee brand I used to love.

Sheikh Sulaiman is the best and most kindest barista I’ve ever met. The coffee is out of this world, I’ve been coming here for years and every it gets better and better and the coffee art was immaculate!!!

This place is okay for a quick coffee though the atmosphere is pretty dead here. The management should really look into getting pest control as lots of baby mice around (see pictures). Which indicates the parents are close by and have made the coffee shop their home with access to lots of food items!

After a stroll around the city, we stumbled upon Attendant Coffee and decided to stop for a break. I ordered a flat white, and the service was excellent. The coffee was well-made and provided a nice pick-me-up during our outing. The seating and atmosphere is not very relaxing as it is a part of a clothing store but a convenient spot for a quality coffee break in the city!

I just had the most amazing avocado and halloumi sandwich. 🥪 It was a solid 10 out of 10! The grilled halloumi & Hass avocado with red pepper jam, chili star anise mayo, pickled cabbage, rocket in a sweet and salty brioche bun was so yummy. And the banana and chocolate cake was delicious too! 🥑🧀🍞 - I highly recommend this place!

I guess this place is nice for coffee, but when I ordered matcha I received some weird brownish-greenish liquid impossible to drink.

This place is very well regarded in London's specialty artisan coffee scene, it's situated in a small food and art market called netil market, which is close to Broadway market. The coffee shop itself is in a converted shipping container. Despite the size there is space available to sit out of the rain to have your drink. There is a good selection of coffee beans available to buy, not cheap but the price reflects the quality of the coffee beans available. This place is one of the few places in London where you can buy beans from a coffee roaster called friedhats, based in Amsterdam Holland. Naturally I had to buy some. The coffee drink I bought was their house filter which was very good indeed, and actually tasted better as it cooled. The coffee beans I bought from them were very good too. Competition for specialty coffee is tough in London, especially in this particular part of London. I can safely say that paradox design lives up to its excellent reputation.

heard a lot about this place and finally got to try! I had their birthday special and I was lucky enough to be one of the first 50 to have it for free! Very yummy and refreshing perfect for the weather. Will def come back for their batch brews

I ordered a Rose latte. The taste was nice. The satff was friendly.

The rose latte is the best drink ever had in London

We were in our third wave coffee shop finding trip and Paradox was in our list 🙂 It is not exactly a shop, it is a corner with take away only. But it is perfect option if you are passing through the London Fields during you lazy weekend. Best filter coffee I have tasted in London so far. Decent flat white. Friendly staff. The same as in most coffee shops you can buy here beans and grind if you want.

A tiny lovely coffee shop! Although it’s really small, it includes everything. Beautiful staffs, beautiful coffees, beautiful design. Found it on the magazine and dropped by. It’s absolutely a surprise for me. You have to visit it if you wanna try something amazing or like handcraft stuffs. I’ll definitely go back again.

The service was very slow. I had to ask the waitress to take my order, and she only came twice: once to accept the order and once to bring the tea. I asked for a cheesecake from their dessert stand, but it never arrived until I reminded her again. My plates were left on the table until I asked for dessert as well. The food itself is good, but the service really needs improvement.

Promu and Karima were excellent hosts at EL &N. The food was incredible. Very tasty, reasonably priced and quick service. Promu and Karima went out of their way to answer our questions and made us feel very welcome. I recommend EL&N !

Visited 09/09/2025. Kitchen was out of service but customers were not being informed at the door but only when sitting down. A lovely array of pastries, cakes and sandwiches available on the day I visited. Place was pretty empty inside with a few outside. The staff I had interacted with were lovely but service was a bit slow, I had to get up and ask someone to take my order and also had to get up to go pay when finished as I needed to leave. Doesn't appear to be very well managed (albeit on a less busy day with the kitchen out of order!) Had the Turkey and Cheese ciabatta, it was nice and cost £11. Will have to go back to try their main menu/cooked items. Everything is halal.

The Desert here is so Divine. I had the rose pistachio cake, and it melted in my mouth. It was so good. The coffee wasn't what I expected. I had the V60, and it was so light. The atmosphere is welcoming and friendly. Sanchez is a fantastic host.

I had a wonderful experience at El & N! The atmosphere was warm and inviting, and the food was absolutely delicious. A special mention goes to Shade, who was an exceptional server incredibly kind, attentive, and genuinely friendly. He made the whole experience even better with his professionalism and positive attitude. I highly recommend this place and will definitely be coming back! 🌟

What a lovely space, we had such an amazing waiter Sheik - The food is absolutely amazing aswell. I don’t regret going there

The cutest restaurant with the best service! Highly recommend this spot- and get the green smoothie! We loved every second of it. The aesthetics and the flavor, both matched seamlessly. The service was delightful, Fayis was so friendly and hospitable, we were grateful to have had him as our server.
