Proper aussie-style coffee on the South Bank. Serving Mozzo coffee, homemade cakes and fresh sandwiches. Voted one of the top 50 independant coffee shops in London by the evening standard!

Try hot chocolate . It is fantastic. You can work or study in the National Theatre which is linked with the café with a door. Lovely staff too.

Martin Marmorstein

Possibly one of the best coffees served in London.

If you are on a budget but don't want to miss on a play on this fantastic theatre, ask about the standing option (5 pounds). The scenography is incredible. Nice to hang out before and after plays. - Maria Ines Guaia Keeble
