    Friendly staff and nice coffee. Cold greek coffees and standard warm coffees are all really good. I hope that sweets and sandwiches also become a bit more 'greek' with time..

    Very good coffee place for speciality coffee, we had great chemex from Colombia. Big negative in this time is having just take-away cups :/.

    Amongst the best coffee in London! You can also buy beans and ask them to grind them. The hazelnut one for French press at home smells and tastes heavenly.

    This place is spacious, with a small indoor terrace and a couple of tables outdoors. It is quiet enough to read or have a conversation.

    If you are not going for a particular brew of black coffee, their batch brew of the day is very solid and much cheaper.
