A really cozy and friendly coffee shop just across from the common. They serve coffee more he the sizes than the types, but they do offer specific filter brews. Plenty of seats inside and out.

Danis

Really like the attitude of the staff : friendly , helpful and fast. The Ethiopian blend they suggested was nice and citrusy. Sandwiches and cake were also pretty good. 8.5/10

Jos Jones

Great place for coffee . Quite small but nice and cosy if you can get a seat. They don't have loads of food options available, but lots of cakes and treats.

Mansour

Excellent filter coffee ! I must say it is one of the best in London. Toasted banana bread was so good as well ! Highly recommended.

John Hobbs

This is genuinely the best coffee in London: a definite three Michelin stars . Stylish setup and great staff and atmosphere to boot.

Very nice and polite new girl, but the tall dark haired guy has got some attitude problem. Instead of barking he should try talking.
