Smallest, but probably one of the best espresso bars in the world. Should be on the list of stops to make on the espresso touring circuit.

I found out the mocha is on the 'secret menu ' ???? please ask for it as it is smooth and simple and not overly chocolatey ...te espresso comes through ❤️this☕️

The place is tiny which only boosts friendliness of the staff . Coffee is excellent, worth coming from wherever you are!

HEIDI

I am surprise this coffee shop has many tips! I wish I could visit to such a real coffee shop which be loved by local people.

A couple of seats inside & outside, not cozy enough to sit in for long. Flat White is not as good as I've expected as so many of you online have given it overwhelmingly good review.

raf sanchez

Tiny but excellent place to have a coffee . Very limited seating (mostly on the street) so be prepared to take your drink away...

Simon Bruce

The Flat White here is the best in the area and one of the best in London.

Rizwan Hussain

Amazing #coffee . #flatwhite my choice of bean to cup and its silky smooth, balanced strength yet creamy. #topcoffee

Excellent coffee and nice place. But come on - £3.40 for a cappuccino has to be a new high (or low)!

Zia Ali

The Espresso Room is possibly the teeny tiniest coffee shop I've ever been to - but it makes up in quality what it lacks in size. Their coffees - the smell alone tells you they're good.

Corine Schmal

Small venue . Great flat white . Friendly staff .

Indo

Friendly service , great flat whites , simple and cute ! Come on a sunny day to sit outside

Aggi Cantrill

Try their Square Mile espresso - a really fruity flavour. Guatemalan origin.

Alper Çuğun

This small shop is my go-to place whenever I go to an event at Conway Hall. The coffee does not disappoint.

Aggi Cantrill

Really friendly staff - always up for a chat. But a tiny place, so don't go in big groups!!

Titchy and very limited seating , but great coffee . Flat whites are good and the staff are lovely and friendly .

Yoav Vollansky

Great coffee . Tiny place, so basically a to-go place.

Irina Leonidovna

Decent coffee however on the bitter side.I prefer my coffee to be more acidic. But if you like the ones with the bitter aftertaste definitely the place for you

Green tea slices are divine! The coffee is good too :)

Vinod Diwakar

Best coffee bar in London. Espresso sublime.

Alistair

Bit disappointed to be honest. Coffee was good, but not as out of this world as I'd expected from the reviews here - and I'd finished my drink before they'd even brought my friends tea over.

Zachery Spire

There is a stamp card! Genius!❤️

Lorenzo Verzini

Salted as the average of good espressos in London, but still one of my favourite

Evening Standard

They do semi skimmed milk now as the "skinny" option, tastes much better than skimmed!

Claire Kim

Best flat white ever! Forget Starbucks!

They throw in cocoa powder by default in their milk drinks. Ask them to leave it out if that's not your thing.

Great Americano !

Amazing place and it’s a must if you visit London! You can spend hours & hours inside so plan well if you are time poor. Worth to hire the audio as it can be really crowded to get too close. - Maria
