March 27, 2025 at 7:44 amNice place. Today the staff were flat but competent. Very very good espresso blend, would deffo go for the single origin next time to try; I bet it’s worth it. Decaf latte was way above average. Safe bet.

The vibe is calm and stylish, perfect for a quiet break or catching up with a friend. Their flat white is consistently excellent, and the pastries are fresh and flavorful (highly recommend the croissant!). Staff are friendly, knowledgeable, and always happy to chat about the beans. Prices are on the higher side, but totally worth it for the quality. One of my favorite specialty coffee spots in London.

The staff are really educated on their coffee, just ask and they will help you out. Thank you Larissa, Saeron and Karen for the best coffee i’ve had all week!

May 6, 2025 at 5:46 pmI did the Latte Art class (birthday present from my fiancé) at the weekend and it was brilliant! Only four people in the class in a partitioned off area downstairs. We learned about coffee growing and the roasting processes, then learned to make hearts and tulips (with varying degrees of success). The two hours went by in a flash! Our instructor was patient and encouraging, I made 5 attempts, three of which turned out OK!

They’re known for their amazing coffee but I don’t really drink coffee so I usually get their Iced Chai Latte with Oat milk! It hits the spot everytime and the cup is so cute. I also got their banana bread, there’s a nice bite to it as there’s walnut chunks which is amazing.
The interior is also super nice, everything is smooth and wooden with a minimalist style.
Would recommend!
