    We had matcha latte and espresso macchiato. Espresso macchiato is probably the best in London so far that i’ve tried. Matcha latte is so-so; it has the authentic taste, but it lacks the layers overall. I gave 5 stars to this store because of espresso macchiato & the interior design. Hope the owner can alter the matcha latte a bit, letting the layers of matcha to stand out more.

    Best cold brew coffee in London served in a minimal Japanese styled coffee shop. Biggest offer of cold brews ever. Exquisite little cubed Japanese cakes. Clean shop, accommodating staff. Just off Oxford Street. Quite small seating area, so best for take away.

    The best coffee I ever found in London. Staffs are always attention to details and very professional. I can feel the warm hearted in the Latte. The hand dripping single blend is always very impressive and fits to my personal tastes.

    Lovely Cafe! 🍵 We came for the matcha 🍵💕 Matcha was 10/10 loved the soft foam! 🫶🏼 The cafe has very limited seating inside. Perfect for people watching! 😎 But the staff is very nice and friendly! Can definitely recommend to step by, the aesthetic is very calming and the music was good! 💗

    The Japanese-inspired aesthetic, coupled with a modern and sophisticated interior design, sets Omotesando Koffee apart. The coffee, specifically the Americano I ordered, was flavorful and not bitter. The shop is popular, but despite a crowded afternoon visit, the wait was worth it, and we even secured a seat. But it is definitely a quick grab-and-go experience, as the seats are not very comfortable. I still enjoyed my visit and will go again to try another coffee.

    LOVE THIS PLACE! Great quality coffee - I had the oat flat and the coffee was really great quality! Also loved the small bite “Kashi” which is a baked custard - not too sweet and a perfect blend of outside crisp and soft custard inside. The place is minimalist yet gorgeous as most Japanese things. Especially loved the seating style. Also loved the packaging and minimalist design on the cup and the small bite cover. Very aesthetic. Highly recommend for a great coffee!

    Best matcha latte I’ve had in London so far! They have really nice staff who are very attentive to detail. I love the quaint and calm atmosphere this cafe radiates. Seating is a bit limited, but people will leave periodically. Would love to come again!

    Absolutely perfect. Tried two days in a row while on a business trip. First day was double espresso which was very balanced and nicely extracted. Second day, I was promised a special brew for pour over but when I reached it was already gone so went ahead with the "normal" acidic pour over which was delightful and delicate. Must try the small square cakes which are the same as Bordeaux canneles but squared.

    Went on last Saturday late morning, not particularly busy in the cafe. The cappuccino I got today was watery and barely tasted coffee, very disappointed. This was not my first time here and the coffee was quite good. I don't want to blame it down to luck as I have always had expectations coming here I'd be guaranteed a good coffee. Reading other reviews here I have a feeling their quality control has shifted so I won't be coming back if I want a good coffee.

    Clean and minimalistic design. The coffee we tried was good (a latte and a hand-poured), not spectacular. Limited seating with chairs that weren’t comfortable enough for extended periods of time

    A really special place within the heart of London and mine. It's a cafe that is consistent with its minimalism; from its architecture to even the music played in store, the serenity makes an extremely pleasant environment not only for days to work but also for those days to enjoy a coffee while watching time go by. The staff are kind and extremely knowledgeable, it's evident that they all have a passion of coffee which is lovely to see. They have perfected their drip coffee, and their other drinks (such as the matcha latte) are all wonderful as well. The small bites that they also sell compliment the drip coffee so well, it's a must try. Always thankful to the staff for making every visit so lovely, a must go-to when you get the chance to!

    Every element at Omotesando Koffee is calm and quiet - logo, interior styling, colors, lighting to coffee crafting, the designer has created every possibilities in this little space from impossible to possible. Just, a true simplicity. Every element has a thoughtful idea behind the creation. It is indeed a cafe worths the visits while in London. Probably one of the best cafe in London.

    Went in around 11am when I saw it empty. The server was really joyful and willing to give explanations/recommendations for anything I asked bordering on proactive information (which is good for a newbie like me). As soon as I get my order the store gets almost filled with a first wave of customers. I had my space and it was very relaxing. I sat there for a good hour and a half and I saw lots of customers pass by, each given their due time with Jo rush, but efficiently. Great relaxed atmosphere. Would recommend to anyone; either buying coffee on the go, or wanting to take a mid day break this is a shop for all. Just keep in mind if you plan on staying as long as I did there is no toilet available 😁 ps. The cold brew coffee (dark roast) was wonderful

    A small but welcoming place. Im quite a novice to Coffee but the staff were happy to explain everything to me even when they were busy. The coffee they suggested was delicious and this coupled with a lovely peaceful atmosphere will make me return time and time again

    Cosy little coffee place in the Tottenham court road area. Great coffee selection, with helpful staff and good ambience. However, the coffee shop itself is quite small-spaced, so getting a place there to sit and have your coffee might be difficult during busy times.

    I came here with high hopes. Hear so many amazing things about this place and how nice it was. Maybe this skewed my expectations. I get greeted by a 3m line outside. Which moved fairly quickly. Keen to have a small snack with my drink, I saw the cakes in the queue. Then as I’m second to be served, they take the cakes away. As I order, I asked for the cakes and they told me they had finished. Although I saw them just take away the 3 remaining cakes.. I then proceed to ordering the matcha latte. It was better than average that you get in normal high street coffee stores. But doesn’t beat the quality of Tsujiri. Perhaps this is more for coffee lovers. Just not for me. Also, the hand sanitiser upon entrance is a very sticky and unpleasant.

    Amazing decor with their Japanese style minimalistic interior. It would have been better if there was more seating as it was crowded. But their coffee was amazing. I had their Flat white, definitely one of the best Coffee I’ve had in London. Would definitely visit when I’m around Oxford Circus.

    Superb. Great design and use of warm natural materials. I had the pour over which was excellent. I was asked about the coffee I liked, my flavour preferences and a suitable coffee was chosen. One of the best coffees I’ve had in a while. Oh and the square little sweet treats like a canele were divine.

    I have been to the Tokyo branch and like Japanese coffee shops, so was happy to find one in London. The coffee here is amazing, not too bitter but not watered down, one of the best cups of coffee I have had in a long time. They also have soya milk although at extra cost. I had an Americano with soya and it was £3. The prices are standard like most independent coffee shops so slightly more than chains, but the coffee does taste a lot better. The place itself is quite small, very few seats which are small bar seat like stools, and no toilet so it’s not the type of cafe you would want to sit and chill or study in. Also no toilet here.. so only two stars for atmosphere as it’s very basic. Great for a quick cup of coffee or a takeaway rather than sitting in as such.

    Currently doing the buzz on social media platforms! I was super curious to visit this shop and the interior didn’t disappoint! The matcha, which we came for, was average - nothing I would come back for. The small Kashis were okay. I didn’t find them exceptional but my friends did like them - so it is really up to personal taste…

  • 5/5 Christopher H. 2 years ago on Google
    Well extracted delicious coffee served by friendly staff in a surprisingly tranquil little cafeteria (considering how central it is). Get the baked custard squares!

  • 5/5 Chad G. 2 years ago on Google
    Absolutely one of the best coffee places London and absolutely amazing coffee. The ice coffee was perfect and I have to say the best paper straws I've ever used!! I want them for my house. Definitely recommend the ice cappuccino or mocha. For a coffee fan it is an absolute must visit.

  • 5/5 Angela N. 2 years ago on Google
    Amazing coffee and don’t miss trying their delicious Kashi. Loved the Japanese and zen atmosphere here.

  • 5/5 KhV N. 4 months ago on Google • 20 reviews
    Nice little coffee spot, my friend wanted to try the matcha latte and it was very good! The little ‘kashi’ bite was also nice. Overall worth the wait for good quality coffee and friendly service.

  • 5/5 Haru I. 2 years ago on Google
    Nice coffee. Simple and beautiful interior which i really liked it.

  • 4/5 Hawra A. 4 months ago on Google
    Very tiny coffee place ، perfect to have your to go coffee. You might not find a place to set ! It’s tiny and full house

  • 5/5 Jeremy 5 months ago on Google
    This is one of the most delicious coffee spots. My wife is always looking for a good Matcha and couldn’t speak more highly of the one she had here. The latte I had is perfection.

  • 5/5 Renato Q. 2 years ago on Google
    This is my wife and I's go-to coffee spot whenever we come into London! We always get their mocha and one of those small custard Kashi's just top off the whole coffee experience. I've bought their beans and they are amazing! The staff and service is always pleasant. I always recommend Omotesando to friends whenever they mention a trip into London. This is a lovely coffee shop, it's just a shame that their might not always be seating because it is a small venue. Nonetheless, an amazing coffee shop!

  • 5/5 The W. 3 years ago on Google
    Very sleek and minimal interior design and the cafe was also in an unassuming street. One could miss it easily. There was not a long queue when I visited on a bright sunny Sunday as it was only almost noon. Friendly baristas. The cafe kiosk itself was the same as the one in Singapore I visited many years ago. I loved the latte, hot chocolate and Iced Cappuccino! All that and box of 5 pieces Kashi set me back at 18.30 quids.

  • 5/5 Kl 2 years ago on Google
    Excellent coffee! Was recommended by the London Coffee Guide and it’s rated in the Top 40 in the guide. Actually I rate Top 10 from me. Unfortunately I don’t know where the coffee beans are sourced, can someone help? Is there a loyalty programme as I know I’ll be visiting again soon!

  • 5/5 Kornel F. 2 years ago on Google
    Fantastic coffee, very unique design, only 10 sets inside though so mostly a takeaway spot IMHO

  • 4/5 Honey F. 1 year ago on Google
    Omotesando Koffee is what a chic Japanese coffee shop I have always imagined it would, but in London. The coffee was lovely and really liked that they offer a variety of choices too. The interior was really warm and relaxing too though it gets really packed. Would surely be back often!

  • 4/5 Luce 1 year ago on Google
    Latte, Iced Cappuccino and sweet treats! Coffee was good and it was nice to have something sweet to go alongside it. The interior was very nice and clean and the staff were friendly. It would have been nice to have more seating because there were a lot of people and the seating was very uncomfortable. Because of this, I would recommend takeout rather than to drink inside!

  • 3/5 Yasir S. 1 year ago on Google
    I was super excited to visit place, because I had heard such good things. We got the iced-matchiccino and the iced-mochachino which were okay, but they were quite bitter. I thought it would have some sweetness to it but it was too bitter and the aftertaste wasn’t great. We also got some Kashi’s which are baked custards, these were really good and pair well with the drinks bitterness. The drinks cost about £10 for two and the Kashi was £1.50 each. The rating would be lower if not for the Kashi. Also not much seating available and it can get busy.

    Incredible coffee. Zen atmosphere. Do try the pastries! Small but cozy and extremely smart designed little window seats. Come, get an espresso and a pastry, read a newspaper, leave. Perfect coffee spot for actually doing a coffee break.
