Great place with separate working area (tables upstairs at the back are the best, if taken, more space is downstairs). Good drinks, food, friendly stuff, cool interior & attention to detail - love!
Roman MittermayrMarch 2, 2015Walked by here so many times, admiring the high ratings, but always moved on when I noticed how full it was. Recently, I just went in and realised that there is a lot of room downstairs as well. Nice!
Yoga With EduardoFebruary 10, 2016Lovely place if you have to work. It can be bit busy sometimes but they have lot of plug to charge your laptop. Their quiche and salads are lovely.
The healthy food options are great, recommended: leak and potato soup! Relaxing playlist and great space to sit and read or work. Perfect.
Chris HainesSeptember 28, 2015An awesome coffee shop with perfect flat whites, cosy seats, delicious food and treats and free WiFi! Great for working! Staff are super friendly too!
Hannah DukeSeptember 11, 2014Great coffee, great cakes and an excellent place to work for several hours - if you can find a table! Look downstairs if there aren't any upstairs before you order.
Mick ConroyNovember 7, 2014Lovely espresso, comfy sofas, excellent range of sweets. Agree with others: they do better espresso here than LMNH, but it's not as good for people watching.
Shawn S.October 19, 2013really impressed. the reviews are right. its much better than Look Mom. really enjoying the peaceful vibe compared to having to shout out conversations. coffee is much better too.
Graeme BoydFebruary 1, 2013Brilliant. Great interior, food looks great, lovely atmosphere, lots of space. My Flat White was robust with a nice bitter punch.
Amazing new space. Great coffee, very friendly staff and huge space downstairs for meetings (especially nice). Plus free wifi. Best place to work in the neighbourhood!
Great space, but be prepared to be right in the middle of small startups having meetings and inadvertently being able to hear every word, if you're sitting downstairs.
A true working coffee shop, with excellent coffee and tea selection. They do cronuts as well.
Georgia HoltFebruary 27, 2015I just love coffee, so this place is perfect for me! They obviously take enormous care in where they source their beans and milk etc. from and it really does show!

Fix, LMNH etc are on another hand all closed (possibly awaiting the arrival of the messiah...)
I love this coffee shop, perfect coffee (9.5/10) cool Style and very friendly staff, Awesome!
Bogdan StăiculescuAugust 15, 2014About to praise their cakes & service until one staff stopped by our table & made me move my drink from a branded competitor's cup to one of theirs: "we don't want to see that in here" really?! 😕👎
Falafel sandwich is top notch! Has bean coffee never disappoints. This is an excellent place for meetings or getting some work done.
Thomas ParisotOctober 5, 2014Excellent espressos, cakes and pastries... Plus plenty of space to chill out or to work. Hat tip to the staff friendliness!- Ollia ReichartOctober 7, 2014One of the best places for work and quality coffee. And a friendly Barista is always nice.
K JJuly 22, 2014Nice fit out and exceptional staff! Only place in London so far to offer me water without asking and check if my coffee was good - it was.- Darren ElliottSeptember 16, 2013URBAN LANDSCAPE PHOTOGRAPHER 'MIKE CURRY' OPENS EXHIBITION IN TIMBERYARD OLD STREET - photographs taken whilst on the way to, or returning from, one of his landscape photography classes (4 Oct-28 Nov) Read more
Pull out your macbook, line up on the sill next to the others and do your work or writing, very inspiring place with creative aura.
Evan BartlettApril 15, 2013Great interior, lots of seating, lots of light and good coffee. Didn't get a chance to eat, but the sandwiches and snacks looked solid

Phil CalçadoMarch 5, 2015Good coffee and food, great to chat or getting some work done. Wish this place existed when I lived here.
My new favourite place. I've never felt so comfortable working in a cafe in all the land. The smoothies are a big serving of pink loveliness.
Miguel V.December 23, 2015Loved this place. Super chill cafe, good coffee, good food, perfect for working too.
Gordon DentOctober 28, 2014For any non-dairy drinkers they offer almond as well as soy milk. A pleasant change from the norm!
Great place to work or meet friends. More intimate meeting space downstairs. The organic rococo shot is delic.
rosie (siman) yakobAugust 6, 2014Full fat lattes! With great wifi and so much space to work or chat!
Mark AshworthMay 29, 2015Good place to work, with fantastic coffee. I highly approve of the sandwiches too.
Milan ♠ van den BovenkampFebruary 27, 2014During hot summers sit downstairs and keep your head cool. Amazing space for productive people!
MagnusApril 7, 2016Really nice café but tends to fill up with laptops. Also note that they close at 6pm.
BevanDecember 15, 2012Espresso here is great, in fact everything here is better than at 'look mum no hands' only they won't fix your bike.
Essie SAugust 24, 2014Great place to work away at your laptop. Perfect example of cafe culture in London
They do almond milk! And are wonderful. Love the peaceful downstairs.- Must try the affogato and cold brew during summer. Makes one feel like one is on holidays.
Stu GomersallOctober 11, 2013Great team. Great coffee; though I am picky and would have liked it a little hotter.
Angela MaguireJanuary 3, 2015Great coffee and a great place to work although always busy. Free wifi.
Foong Xiang MingJanuary 11, 2015Coffee and the lovely atmosphere:) A brilliant place to chill or be productive.
SuYeone JeonApril 10, 2014Free wifi. Super nice staff members. Delightful iced coffee and looove the wooden settings!
