Top 5 Coffeehouses in Greater London

78 Queen Victoria St, London EC4N 4SJ, United Kingdom

“Have wanted to come here for a long time and it was worth the wait. Slightly more expensive than coffee elsewhere however cheaper than some high street franchise conglomerate names and far nicer. Shop is modern and sleek, staff were friendly and coffee was served swiftly! Be aware not too much seating inside and seating areas can often be busy! Coffee was delightful, chose a long black which was ~£3.80. Looking forward to going back to try other coffees from the menu. They also offer coffee for sale online which is slightly more expensive than other competitors but worth it if you find it’s the one for you! Coffee beans can also be bought in store. Highly recommend if you’re walking past or travelling a little way for as you’re only a 5 minute walk from the Thames (at the Victoria St. branch).”

8 Newman St, London W1T 1FB, United Kingdom

“Went on last Saturday late morning, not particularly busy in the cafe. The cappuccino I got today was watery and barely tasted coffee, very disappointed. This was not my first time here and the coffee was quite good. I don't want to blame it down to luck as I have always had expectations coming here I'd be guaranteed a good coffee. Reading other reviews here I have a feeling their quality control has shifted so I won't be coming back if I want a good coffee.”

103 Westbourne Grove, London W2 4UW, United Kingdom

“This place had Full English Breakfast on the higher end, price-wise. But it was also on the higher end taste-wise! I appreciated that they put the beans in dish, and served the tea in a pot.”

84 Scoresby St, London SE1 0XN, United Kingdom

“I love origin coffee, and today's cappuccino was the best I had. The oat milk was so creamy and I spotted the last Land chocolate from Venezuela ( my country) ! Dairy free and gluten free! Lucky me! This made my day! I will come back. Thanks guys! Keep making delicious coffee.”

83 Parkway, London NW1 7PP, United Kingdom

“Super cute little coffee shop, just a couple of minutes walk from Camden Town tube station. I opted for an Oat Latte - which was excellent, and I was seriously tempted by their yummy looking selection of cakes & biscuits too! The coffee shop itself is tiny, but there is some seating inside and outside. Because the weather was so hot when I visited, I decided to sit outside in the shade and enjoy my coffee. Lovely little coffee shop, and really sweet staff too. Definitely worth visiting.”

St Mary Aldermary, Watling St, London EC4M 9BW, United Kingdom

“I found @hostcoffee on the maps and was determined to visit during my London trip! I love the church setting and the tranquility. Most people were working, studying, or reading. Some business people were getting their morning coffee and chat in but not disturbing at all. It was such a pleasant meal I would go there all the time if I’m located in London!”

7 Farrier's Psge, London W1D 7DP, United Kingdom

“Just had my first visit to Hideaway Coffee Shop on Farriers Page, London, and count me in as a fan! Tucked away on the main road, The buzz in the reviews is spot-on – awesome coffee and a chill vibe. It's officially my new go-to spot for a caffeine fix! ☕👌⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”

4 Borough High St, London SE1 9QQ, United Kingdom

“Very entertaining coffee shop. A bit loud at times however other than that I found it very exciting. The barista explained the difference between all the beans and I ended up going with his recommendation, the Roasting Plant Blend. It was very nice and exactly as he described. Highly recommend. Can’t wait to try the other blends!”

Unit 109 Stable St, London N1C 4DR, United Kingdom

“Absolutely amazing coffee - have had lattes and flat whites all over London and believe this to be the best by a wide margin. Super smooth and consistently good. Love the banana bread as well!! Dog friendly!”

16 Clapham Common South Side, London SW4 7AB, United Kingdom

“We popped along on a very busy Sunday afternoon and it was a bit of a squeeze! Very good coffee (good decaf too) and some great brunch options. They serve some fabulous toasties, perfect after a long walk on the Common. Also a big fan of the hash brown nuggs and chilli jam. Yum!”

160-164 Goswell Rd., London EC1V 7DU, United Kingdom

“I absolutely love this coffee shop in Clerkenwell! The ham and cheese croissant is my go-to, and the coffee never disappoints. What sets this place apart is the incredible staff – they're all exceptionally nice, making it a truly special spot. It's my go-to place during work breaks.”

16 Lillie Rd, London SW6 1TS, United Kingdom

“Wonderful coffee / gift shop. The baristas were friendly, the coffee was excellent, I loved how neat a perfectly smooth my coffee was. I laughed when I saw various postcards, both funny and cute, especially those with cats. I know where to pick a lovely original gift (beans, chocolate, candles...) 🙂 Thank you!”

1 Howick Pl, London SW1P 1WG, United Kingdom

“Nice place with good coffee. Very modern and bright! I found desserts too sweet for me unfortunately. Anyway, I can highly recommend the coffee!”

37-39 Padfield Rd, London SE5 9AA, United Kingdom

“Wow, what a fabulous place! First time there as was in the area and so glad I found this cafe. Very friendly, clean & an extensive menu to suit all. We had the liver & bacon - it was outstanding and well worth travelling for! Busy place - obvious that people know this is the place to get decent fresh food - but lots of seating to cater for their lunchtime crowd. Will be back 😁 Delicious, honest food.”

114 Ebury St, Elizabeth St, London SW1W 9QD, United Kingdom

“There is a bit of a wait but I was able to be seated within 15 minutes. The staff were friendly but service was slow. It took us a while before someone finally noticed us and took our order. I had gotten the avocado toast with scrambled eggs instead of a poached egg and they did it exactly the way I like it. And let’s just say it was the absolute best avocado toast I’ve ever had. Cappuccino was also amazing. This place is not only perfect from the decor, but the food is also amazing. Definitely recommend it!”

45 Bank St, London E14 5NY, United Kingdom

“Got one oat latte and one oat mocha. I’m sorry to say they are just *rap and it’s not worth calling them coffees. This is a pity since the place is very nice, with a nice vibe, warm cozy colours of its interiors and relaxing music. Unfortunately, as you can see from the pics, they don’t have real coffee machines and if you think about it, this is just a bizarre vending machine: you select the coffee you want at the monitor and someone at the counter just pushes a button on those big machines: and voila, your fake coffee is ready. Avoid!”

8 Brixton Rd, London SW9 6BU, United Kingdom

“It’s a very old and beautiful place! Prices are nice. They have both alcohol and coffee! Great place for working with laptop. They have wifi and good music playing.”

91-95 Clerkenwell Rd, London EC1R 5BX, United Kingdom

“We had our wedding reception at Fidelio on 23rd December. From the moment we met, Raff, Ash, Predrag and the rest of the team, we knew we were in for an exceptional experience. They did not disappoint. World class service, exquisite food and exceptional hospitality. An amazing experience was had by all who celebrated with us on our special day. We will be eternally grateful for all the hard work the team at Fidelio put in, to ensure we hosted the best reception ever! The day couldn't have been more perfect. Highly recommend Fidelio café. Thankyou so much for being superb. Love from the newlyweds, Ricky Rugby and Dr Laura x”

107 Sanderstead Rd, South Croydon CR2 0PJ, United Kingdom

“Funky, friendly little café with outdoor (and indoor) tables, opposite a park/playground. At the same time, they conveniently accept contactless payment. Nice iced coffee served in a jam jar with a bamboo straw. Great place for a coffee break while out househunting!”

83 Duke St, London W1K 5PF, United Kingdom

“Great food, people and atmosphere. Staff is very helpful and attentive to all requests. Extra points for the the manager who was always making sure customers were getting the best treatment. Food was very good. The eggs on hash and French toast definitely were the highlights. Make sure to get the large cups for coffee and lattes!”
