Quiet Coffee

Cafe Coffee shop

👍👍 Found this little gem right next to Charing X station. Coffee was super tasty and prices really competitive. Also had one of their homemade salads which was genuinely far better than any other I had tried from other cafes. Highly recommend A++ People often mention coffee, Charing, Cross, staff, station, friendly, cake, quiet, good, London,

    I like small cafes, which do not belong to chains, something independent and local. I searched on Google and found the Quiet cpffee hidden between the train station exit and an office building. The interior design was lovely. There were many bottles of soft drink in the display fridge. A selection of sandwiches that looked great. The cake display was a bit small. I had a cappuccino which was served to my table. The coffee was excellent, just what you need to start the morning well. The place was almost full. Many workers from the area took coffee on the way. A very cute place with courteous service and a good atmosphere

    Very good coffee!! I loved the ice coffee with oat milk. The food is self made and you can definitely taste the difference. A nice little place to read in the back and have some time off from the crowd. The service is also great

    Quiet, spacious and very friendly staff. The carrot cake is out of this world! Note that there are no toilets in the cafe.

    Best flat white in town ! 🤩 I would say this is on my list, the top 5 best coffee in London. Carrot cake was amazing as well.

    Yep, as the name suggests, it's a quiet little coffee shop outside Charing Cross station, with friendly staff and faster than usual sevice. Unfortunately they don't have the usual selection of syrups, but they do have pistachio, which I have not seen anywhere else. A flat white with pistachio syrup is worth trying. Not my favourite looking place, but really nice for a morning coffee!

    What a quiet little coffee shop! I know, I know, the name says it all, but it truly is! Tucked away from the hustle and bustle of a busy London area, but right next to Charing Cross station, this place is in a great location. I had a flat white and it was enjoyable. Love the decoration inside this coffee shop. I didn’t have food, but from what I could spy the toasties look amazing. Great selection of cake offerings too.

    What a hidden gem! Delightful staff, delicious baked goods - Victoria Sponge Cake and Plum Almond Cake were delicious. Last morning in London tried the “Coffee Cake” which was yummy, though not at all like coffee cake in America. Rich and nutty, and more like a spice cake. Also watched as they packaged fresh wraps for the lunch rush, so know these are not brought in, but made on site.

    Have been going here since it opened. It’s the best place to get coffee in the area. Coming out of Charing Cross, make sure you walk past the Costa and hang a left! I visit three times a week! The staff are really lovely too!

  • 4/5 Julius S. 3 months ago on Google New
    Really a quiet place despite situated next to a busy train station. A good selection of specialty lattes and coffees with prices similar to other coffee chains. Decoration is basic and service isn't the fastest unfortunately. But it is indeed a hidden gem for quiet sips of coffee.

  • 5/5 Febe P. 7 months ago on Google
    found a little treasure just by fluke. I go through Charing X constantly & like every Londoner, don’t pay attention to our surroundings. Cos I had a v early start I saw this little gem that’s going to be one of my “regulars”. Lovely, friendly, warm with fresh pastries and v good flat white. So recommend!

    If you've heard the latest song by Spaks "This Girl Is Crying In Her Latte" - I think they must have been here too!! I LOVE independent coffee shops so was delighted to stumble across this during my latest visit to London. However, their prices don't reflect the size of items! So I cried in to my latte when a baby sized cup was handed over. I expect to pay more, it's London! But I also expected a normal sized drink 🤭 the drink itself was OK but just tiny! And you're after a frappe, theirs are very strange and oaty rather than milk/ice! Very odd tasting. Cakes selection was great but they weren't covered over so we didn't get any. If you're looking for something quirky and expensive - go here. If you want value for money; I suggest one of the other coffee shops close by!

    Dinky little coffeeshop with freshly made sandwiches, some seating indoors and wonderfully charming staff. Highly recommend

  • 5/5 Eel M. 1 year ago on Google
    Set back on the left when you leave Charing Cross Station it's easy to miss. But it's a little independent gem. The sandwiches are fantastic, especially the chicken with Gouda cheese. I tried a Beetroot Latte on my first visit which I'd never had before and it was surprisingly good. I actually preferred it to the Matcha Latte (which I also liked). The Quiet Cafe has a nice, relaxed vibe inside and is a genuinely pleasant place to be (it has real plants, not plastic nonsense!). The owner was very friendly, which you don't often get, especially in Central London! So when you leave Charing Cross, don't forget to look left. It's a refreshing change to the usual chains you see on every street.

    Great coffee and a quiet atmosphere. A bit hard to find (it faces out towards Charing Cross in a little alcove) but well worth it

  • 3/5 Z H. 1 year ago on Google
    Friendly staff and coffee is good. Right next to entrance to Charing Cross. Not sure about cakes - fairly generic sponge with different flavoured fillings that weren’t that inspiring and too sweet for my liking.

  • 5/5 Johnny S. 1 year ago on Google
    As everyone says, this place has the best of the best carrot cake ever!!! I couldn't find anything like this in Korea, Malaysia, and China! Everyone must try the carrot cake! It is cheap too :)

  • 5/5 Jon H. 1 year ago on Google
    Great example of quite! Lovely tucked away coffee shop. Just on the left side of one of the Charing Cross’s exits! Lovely drinks and food!

  • 5/5 Pamela T. 1 year ago on Google
    Came across this little coffee shop by chance. Tucked away just by entrance to Charing Cross Station. Very simple decor, friendly staff and wonderful coffee. Can highly recommend.

  • 5/5 Daniele U. 1 year ago on Google
    One of the best coffee shops in London. I love Strabucks but the almond Latte I had here today was delicious! Very nice and cosy place where to stop and have a "quiet coffee". The barista in attendance was very polite and professional.

  • 5/5 Sorin L. 1 year ago on Google
    Great coffee and banana bread! A bit tricky to find the entrance if you've never been but just follow the maps and people that go here and you'll make it
