Incredibly friendly staff that serve you coffee with a smile in the morning. Excellent flat white here, the coffee is amazing. A must try. Welcome addition to the Department Brand.Upvote2Downvote
Pascal HartigMay 24, 2015Flat white is brilliant. They have a choice between a Columbia and a Rwanda espresso blend.

Nick BlackNovember 27, 2016This is the best espresso in London as of Dec 2016. Baristas are knowledgeable in the extreme without being overbearing.UpvoteDownvote
Excellent coffee. The staff are hip but not unfriendly in any way. Worth a visit. I'm there a few times a week.UpvoteDownvote

Excellent house roasts, particularly the African varieties.UpvoteDownvote
Eoghan HayesFebruary 17, 2016Not deserving of the name. Coffee, space and nice but not knowledgeable kids behind counter more suggestive of Caffe Nero.UpvoteDownvote
Christo PapadopoulosNovember 23, 2015The coffee is good, unless served in paper cup. Service can be better.UpvoteDownvote
