    I'm not a coffee drinker but my partner is and he ordered a coffee in here. I tried a sip and tasted delicious. He said it was an amazing coffee and wants to come back. They also have some sweets, I wouldn't mind to try more! It's tiny but cute, a couple of tables outside, friendly staff. Perfect for relaxing a bit while seating down or to take away!

    Great little coffee shop, nice and snug. Good to have it in such a central location, means you can opt for it over chain coffee stores. Excellent coffee and pastries awaits!

    I took 2 flat white, banana loaf, and almond croissant. They all were great! The barrista made me fresh coffee. Staff are also friendly and welcoming.

    This is really random, but I'm an American who visited here in March 2022 (9 months ago). While I was having morning coffee, I was chatting with the young man working, and he said that he had just gotten back from visiting America and attending the Asbury Revival that happened in February. I don't recall his name, unfortunately. To him: I'm not sure if you'll ever see this - but if you do, I want to let you know that the Lord put you on my heart just now - I am praying specifically for you right now! I haven't thought about our brief interaction in almost a year, but how amazing is our God and the unity we have in Christ, that He would literally bring you to my heart and give me a word for you all the way on another continent. Please be encouraged: God hears you! He is answering your prayer. I know that it has felt like a long time of waiting, but He remembers you and is answering. Give Him the glory for what He has done!

    I love their cardamom and chocolate cake. The matcha was strong enough and as they make them in Japan. Small place so difficult to get a table but I was able to sit at the bar. Bit pricey but as usual in London

    I was thoroughly impressed with the small but cozy ambiance and the quality of their coffee. Their flat white is simply the best I've ever had in London - perfectly balanced and smooth. The baristas are friendly and knowledgeable, making for an overall excellent coffee experience. I highly recommend stopping by The Espresso Room for a delicious cup of coffee!

    Popped in for a couple of early morning coffees. We both had cortardo's and coffee was fragrant and smooth tasting. Great coffee!

    The coffee was excellent, but the service was terrible - the staff made me feel like I owed them.

    Stopped here for a coffee before an appointment, delicious coffee. Stayed a bit longer than expected and had a matcha tea and hot chocolate, both outstanding. The hot chocolate had a hint of gianduja to it. Really good! Staff were really friendly too.

    Best coffee I've had in London, to be honest. If you want to taste the richness of coffee, this is the place.

    Wonderful coffee!! Foam on my oat milk latte was perfect. No syrups so I ordered mine with a touch of honey. The baristas were very kind and care about their craft. During our stay they were tasting new flavors which was fun to overhear. The shop also carries local artist prints for sale as well as a nice selection of pastries.

    Great coffee shop - friendly staff, lovely coffee and they filled my reusable cup to the top! *UPDATE: Closed! I went to get a coffee today and it's gone - the shop has been repainted and there's a sign on the door saying that Kiss the Hippo (another coffee shop) will be opening soon. So sad :( I'd only discovered it recently...

    Stellar coffee and cappuccinos that are silky smooth. One of the best in London! Friendly service and popular with locals. The only downside is the pastry selection is limited (small store). It would benefit from some non-vegan breads, biscotti, and muffins.

    Great coffee, scrumptuous pastries ( try the carrot cake) and cheerful friendly baristas

  • 5/5 YEO JOUNG S. 1 year ago on Google
    The coffee was tasty! As we don’t like bitterness, we drink oat latte in general. It was good for our taste buds.

  • 5/5 Khalid C. 1 year ago on Google
    Say yes to Coffee!!! One of the best coffee joint in London. This hole in the wall place makes a killer flat white. We also tried the Vietnamese coffee... so delicious! And their croissants are amazing. Check them out when you're in Convent Garden next time.

    Very nice coffee with friendly service.

    A cozy place to have a cup of coffee. I ordered a cortado and the taste was so good A pure specialty coffee

  • 4/5 Lawrence P. 2 years ago on Google
    Coffee has decent creaminess. Decaf was a little on the bitter side but decent overall. Pain au chocolat was flaky but a little hard on the base. Wonderful people working there having a lot of fun!

  • 5/5 Ayoub 2 years ago on Google
    A nice little coffee place served by passionate friendly people. I had the V60 pour over coffee, which is different than a large batch filter coffee as it creates a more flavorful cup of brew. Although it was a longer brewing process, thus longer waiting time, it was definitely worth it because the coffee had a more intricate flavor. The slower the water filters through the grounds, the more flavor is extracted and the cup of coffee I had was highly aromatic.

    Very friendly and coffee was very nice. Quick pleasant service definitely a place to return to.

    Good cappuccino. Friendly barrista. Only thing is it's not the best for dine in, since it's pretty tiny and it's a little uncomfortable when you're the only customer sitting in, since it's like a foot away from the counter. A couple tables outside so would be good for outdoor seating when the weather is nice

  • 5/5 Albert B. 3 years ago on Google
    Great little coffee haven ☕ happy to find it open when most are closed...the Cortado was amazing 👏 see you soon 🙏

    Great coffee as always (last time I had was more than a year) and friendly barrista

  • 5/5 Miriam D. 2 years ago on Google
    Chanced popping in here and was rewarded with the best flat white I've had in a while. Friendly service and delicious cakes: I had the granola/flapjack thing which was very yummy, my friend had a brownie and she said it was the best she'd ever tasted! N.B. she's very honest so this is high praise indeed 😁
