    A reminder that the Aussies know a lot about coffee! Great cappuccino, white chocolate blondie and service.

    One of London's best independent coffee places. Small but cosy and a great place for a caffeine hit.

    Toasted banana bread with home made jam and butter is best thing in the world. Americano is perfection too.

    No matter what you order, the coffee is among the best in a city spoilt with good coffee shops and the food is delicious. After two terms as mayor and over 180 visits I today humbly abdicate. Love!

    Order a pinwheel and say yes when they ask to toast - it goes in a panini press and comes out a delicious treat

    They use Synesso (maybe the best coffee machine) to prepare coffee. Great place to start your morning :)

    An excellent example of one of the rowing number of Antipodean style cafés in London. Perfect flat whites.

    Specialty coffee in central London for those of us who wouldn't be caught dead in Starbucks, costa or pret. Yummy sweets as well.

    A very small place with minimalistic seating, but the coffee is impeccable. Nice to sit on the street if it's a bit warmer outside.

    Friendly service. Good mocha—not too sweet. Not a ton of seating, but it was pretty empty around noon on a Monday.

    Clearly, the cafe knows what they are doing. I went for double espresso, cold green tea, matcha pie, and lemon cake and I wasn't disappointed . Make sure to visit this place if you are a coffee lover.

    They have an amazing selection of delicious cakes. Ask for your banana bread to be toasted. Yum

    In Australia it’s not just about the coffee, it’s also about creating places people can go to drink it. The service, the food, the décor, the atmosphere Read more

    Get there early! Due to the popularity of this coffee shop, you will do well to get a decent seat at busier times. Nonetheless their drinks are worth the wait.

    They have good Coffee Beans but don't make filtered because of the squeezed space. Flatwhite was good, in a proper Cup with thick borders. Lady at the till was kinda stressed, ruined the mood a bit.

    Great Coffee The Aussie way. You also get coffee fruit water to enhance the taste. Good, but not sure how well it works.
