    Great place to sit and relax away from people and a main road. They didn't have any iced tea or iced coffee today but the staff was really nice and friendly and as helpful as possible. Gave me a nice relaxing moment outside. Really enjoyed.

    Nice little cosy independent specialty coffee shop with delicious coffees, friendly and knowledgeable barista. It would become my regular neighbourhood cafe if I lived around!

    Coffee prices are ridiculously high, only one barista so always a queue and very little seating. A sham.

    OK, so it's quite expensive, but it's really really good coffee and great staff. And just a lovely, cosy local business so willing to pay a bit more. Great to get a take out coffee and sit in Percy Circus or Myddelton Square just nearby.

    The most flavoured cup of coffee I have ever had ! Definitely worth the try. I also was at the cafe the same time as the owner who was telling me about his research in the coffee industry. Lovely chap who gave me lots of information about bees and coffee

    Been going here since it opened, we live further away now so not as regular visitors as we’d like, the coffee is always fantastic and the staff helpful and friendly. Great pastries and cakes. You can also buy beans - they will happily grind them for you if needed. Weather permitting you can sit outside and look to the church in the square while sipping a lovely coffee!

    One of the best coffees I’ve had. Friendly staff too (the minimal extra expense for the coffees is 100% worth it)

    I’m a huge fan of Ethiopian coffee but here…. Magic didn’t happen at all… made one sip of coffee and that’s it. Couldn’t drink… it’s not how coffee should taste like…..

    I would like to express my gratitude to Giorgia for the exceptional customer service and expertly crafted coffees. You truly made our first experience here special. We look forward to visiting again soon. Thank you kindly.

    Coffee very nice, shame about the surly face member of staff. Face in the mobile phone rude and unfriendly attitude and not just to me. Obviously, your not wanting to keep your customer. You should call it " Coffee without a smile".......

    Excellent coffee and great service, also recommend to check them in south bank market as well.

    One of my favourites spots in London. Not only the coffee seems to be one of the best in London, but also the crew of baristas that work there is absolutely outstanding. If you are on the area, it's definitely a must-go coffee shop.

    One of the most delicious coffee in Angel! This time I tried the oat cappuccino. 🤤 Super friendly barista :)

    Nice cafe, but the coffee was really not to my taste. For the first time ever I tossed half an espresso due to the strange taste.

  • 5/5 F A. 1 year ago on Google
    Exquisite selection of coffee, really good quality and friendly staff. The space is small and not accessible for people with limited mobility however they have seatings outside

  • 5/5 Paul E. 1 year ago on Google
    Best coffee I’ve had in London. The staff was cool and friendly.

  • 5/5 Liyah B. 1 year ago on Google • 3 reviews
    stumbled upon this café by chance and was pleasantly surprised! the lady was so lovely and accommodating, and offered to make me a special vegan toastie as some of the usual ingredients had run out. my partner and I found the food to be delicious and clearly freshly made, the pastries are delightful and I really recommend the jasmine green tea! definitely encourage others to give them a try!~~

    Great small café for coffee! Bonus because they also make some pretty good toasties

  • 2/5 Clemens Lindner (. 2 years ago on Google
    1 star because the prices are just ridiculously expensive… very unfortunate as it’s a really lovely area and the atmosphere is not bad (+1 star)
