    The most excellent coffee shop. It's my new favourite proper coffee shop in London, easily! Brilliant flat whites and batch brew. Lovely cakes. Reasonable price too. Easy to pay with card but not sure if they take cash or not. Lovely staff. A small retail shelf with plenty of roasted beans etc. A great location. I would really struggle to find a negative! It gets busy but it's as nice in takeaway form! Highly recommend! My new go to for proper coffee when in London!

    Best cortado I have had in London when I visited! The kimcheese sandwich is definitely a new favourite. Carrot cake was delicious and right taste in your mouth. Incredibly polite and friendly staff. Highly recommended! Great atmosphere

    I ordered a cappuccino and it was more like a latte but it had a good taste. I like the art on the wall. They have vegan banana bread and muffins. I didn't try them but they looked good. Free wifi, no electrical outlets. There's a water fountain. They only take cards, no cash.

    Great cafe with plenty of seating indoors and a few on the street. Lots of day light makes its way into the cafe. I found patrons in the cafe are focused and working rather than chitchatting so the volume was good for focusing. I had a flat white with a ham and cheese croissant. I found it to be a bit tough to cut with the provided knife. Coffee was great!

    One of my favourite and go to coffees in central London (Bloomsbury). Quite close from Tottenham court road station, it’s a chic place, plenty of seating and amazing coffee!

    Met some friends here, very nice and clean. The food and drinks were a bit overpriced but I expect that as it is in London. I had an almond crossiant (£3.10) it was big and tasty! We also got 2 toasties (ham and cheese and the Kimchi toastie) and a cup of tea which came to £17+ Everything was nice and the toasties were hot as well. The toilets were ok as well.

    This place has the nicest atmosphere. The art work, plants and minimalistic style feels really natural, nice and welcoming. The matcha and chai latte was also great quality. I would recommend this place for sure (just one star down because it’s a bit pricey).

  • 5/5 Alex 2 months ago on Google • 82 reviews New
    A nice café in central London (within walking distance from Tottenham Court Road and Goodge Street stations). Perfect for remote working. Good options for a light lunch.

  • 5/5 Eve K. 2 months ago on Google • 43 reviews New
    beautiful coffee shop with loads of sitting spaces and free wifi, making this a great study spot. prices are decent too in my opinion:)

  • 5/5 Shushan G. 2 months ago on Google • 39 reviews New
    This place has got a nice interior design and very delicious coffee. It was full when I went there with many university students from the neighboring colleges. Overall, the atmosphere is friendly and can get very noisy to work, but the good thing is that they are keeping the music volume low.

  • 5/5 Hayley S. 1 year ago on Google
    I was having an interview around the corner and needed a pit stop, this was perfect! Earl Grey and a croissant for just over a fiver, and the decor is lovely and calm, great skylight! Staff are friendly and helpful, WiFi was not working when I was here but I had data! Gets quite busy! Lovely little stop off point!

  • 4/5 Christy L. 8 months ago on Google
    The atmosphere is pretty good, and also good for working here, the latte is average but not my preference.

  • 5/5 George P. 9 months ago on Google
    Exactly what you want from a really nice coffee shop. Good coffee, lovely interior, seats outside and great location. It's a thumbs up from me 👍

  • 4/5 Lawrence K. 9 months ago on Google
    Stalwart server of high quality coffee in Bloomsbury. Spread over two levels, with a useful amount of tables. Art to purchase on the walls.

  • 5/5 Louis B. 1 year ago on Google
    Love the coffee, love the atmosphere! This place has a white tone with a glass roof in the middle, allowing sunlight to shine in. However, it may become really hot during summer, so make sure you order an iced latte! There is usually a queue during lunchtime! A promising sign of good coffee indeed!

  • 3/5 tim c. 1 year ago on Google
    Nice coffee. Spacious but cold (weather outside was cold). No table service.

  • 5/5 Anna P. 1 year ago on Google
    A coffee shop with a very nice atmosphere. There’s a lot of students around and you might have to wait to be seated.

  • 4/5 D O. 1 year ago on Google
    Good vibes. Really cute street with many different shops and coffee shops. Friendly service. Interesting selection of cakes/ cupcakes. I had a cupcake and fresh mint tea to go1. The quality was very good. The price was OK. Only thing I didn't get was why they made customers put on their own lids on the hot beverages. Especially considering where the "Cup station" was set up as it caused somewhat of a traffic jam. Would go back though.

  • 5/5 Ryan 1 year ago on Google
    Light and modern is the space; dense and tasty are the pastries. And most importantly, quality espresso.

  • 5/5 Richard C. 2 years ago on Google
    Lovely coffee house. Nice and will lit space with plenty of tables. Very friendly staff and really good coffee. Counter full of baked goods, sandwiches and snacks. Worth a visit

  • 5/5 kushala k. 1 year ago on Google
    Must visit if you are in the vicinity of British museum. Their coffee as well as the lunch menu was delicious. Worth the price. Cosy seating area, helpful staff and kid friendly. I still remember the yummy taste of their coffee.

  • 4/5 Isabel R. 1 year ago on Google
    Very cozy and cool atmosphere, really good baked goods and brunch options, the coffee was a bit bitter though.

  • 5/5 Dmitry S. 1 year ago on Google
    Great breakfast menu and good quality coffee. Enjoyed the mushrooms on toast. Turkish eggs were OK but the yogurt was a bit bland for that dish, lacks salt and dill flavor. Overall atmosphere was quite cosy and enjoyable

  • 3/5 Derk L. 2 years ago on Google
    Cosy place with a nice offer. But if espresso is in your name, you must get that beverage perfect every time. Serving one without a crema is a fundamental quality flaw (wrong grind, pressure or stale beans). Folks commenting positively on the quality must refer to milk diluted versions ...

  • 4/5 Nitzan H. 2 years ago on Google
    A great place for a good cup of coffee. It doesn’t look big but there is a lot of sitting area inside. I didn’t try the food so can’t give you any recommendations

  • 5/5 Michael Y. 1 year ago on Google
    A lovely cafe right by the British Museum with great espresso drinks and a yummy carrot cake. Very spacious and airy inside with the music at the level that’s conducive to carrying on a conversation
