50 Best Coffee Shops in London

“Went here the first time on a recommendation from a friend. We had been meeting other places before but I did not like the atmosphere at the last place we went. Came to Asmara and it was lovely. The atmosphere feels clean, the staff are friendly and helpful, really great vibes! In my opinion this is the nicest coffee place in London if you want to meet a friend to "catch up".“

“Very fresh! Favorite place in town👌🏻“

“Cutest little cafe with the best coffee, pastries, and service! 10/10 recommend!“

“Wow! just tried this coffee for the first time... We will so be back! French Mocha is amazing🥰 If ya like Dark rich coffee... This is it! 💚 ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐“

“The. BEST. Sourdough. Bread. Period. Everything else is good as well but the bread is amazing.“

“This is our new favorite place to go whether for breakfast or lunch. Our first experience was with Dani and having her serve us definitely made us want to come back She is everything a waitress should be and feel she even puts a little special effort in. She already knows exactly what we want to order after just a view visits which was extremely impressive as you have so many customers. I don’t usually write reviews but I just couldn’t let this one pass she definitely deserves 5 stars“

“Nice patio ! Great for the summer“

“These are by far the best donuts in London. Just brought a pack up North to family and they were the best they'd had too. We had the lemon meringue and the passionfruit raspberry. Perfectly fluffy, tangy, sweet and mouth-watering.“

“What a lovely coffee spot. It was clean, the selection was great. Had a business meet up there. It was just the right atmosphere to discuss business but also get to know a colleague and feel more relaxed. I highly recommend checking it out.“

“The new owners were so lovely... They also had their kids running the till and service. It's so sweet that it's a family endeavor. Shout out to the rest of the team!

Try their rice meals! It's soooooooooooo yum!

And their macarons are sooooooooooo good, please note that I'm lactose intolerant -- it was worth it though.“

“We love Loco! Especially the South Location, good vibes and lots of seating“

“Great ambiance, coffee, and location.“

“Coffee and baked treat. Alway great food. awesome vibes. and BIKES!“

“Pretty standard quality bubble tea beverage. We picked Gong Cha because they have coffee & tea combination drinks. A lot of bubble tea places do not offer coffee selections. This location was clean, but small (do not recall any seating available when we visited).“

“Jason Jason Jason…the manager here is the most caring barista I have yet to meet. He works from his heart and works as if someone is watching him. Came in today to find him cleaning the glass of the door entrance. Literally the man who keeps me coming back to this location. Starbucks, promote this man!!“

“Thanks to the whole staff at Starbucks today for all the positive energy towards my girls came in for after grad picture drinks!! Especially Haley thank you 💜!!!“

“One of the few remaining Starbucks locations that didn't sell the tables and chairs to prevent people from socializing in London. Fantastic staff that greet and remember who you are before you respond. The drink mixes are consistent and thus keep me returning. This is one of my top favorite Starbucks locations out of 30+ that I frequent.“

“Food & service are always excellent.“

“great service!!! friendly staff. lots of product.“

“Simply Columbian Coffee Criollo blend is an incredibly flavourful medium roast coffee that hits all the right tones on the pallet while providing a smooth caffeine boost. It is a wonderful Arabica bean that coffee connoisseurs will enjoy to the last drop!“

“The staff are friendly, consistent, and they know how to keep things moving even during the busy rush. The service feels welcoming. It’s the little things, like being greeted with a smile, that make it my go-to spot every week day morning. Thank you to the whole team for starting my day off right!“

“The past three visits, we have been helped by Emily. She has been absolutely wonderful every time! She remembers us and some of the coffees that we like. Twice she has recommended us a new coffee to try and gave us a sample (which we have then purchased each time). Today we came in for two sleeves of solelio and pistachio, but she talked us into getting a case of pistachio to stock up before it’s gone. Then we got three other sleeves of coffee that she had recommended to us! She was also so kind today and waved the bag fee as she had talked us into more coffee and we already had a lot of stuff with a baby and a full stroller. So appreciated!“

“The Buzz Breakfast bagel and coffee were great!! Love the look and environment of the restaurant, glad they opened in downtown London! :)“

“went to the singing chef for the first time this morning and it was great! our waiter Brody was quick and friendly and very attentive! the food was rly good, the home fries especially! would def recommend! (hyde park location)“

“I use this location as it is on my way to work They are always very friendly and I always get my order fast“

“Best donuts in town! Get there early though because they often sell out!“

“🤘🥰Very good staff beautiful place“

“Awesome store Staff are always friendly and fast“

“Beautiful layout, but difficult intersection for drivers. Only way in is when your going North on wonderland or West on Commissioner Rd, but that being said, it's still a 5-star location. It's huge on the inside wou big floor to ceiling windows. Super comfy lounge chairs and tables and bar tables for laptop working days.“

“Great staff always friendly and welcoming“

“My go to starbucks! All the workers are soo amazing and so kind! I look forward to coming here every morning to grab a coffee and say Hello to all of them! Shout out to Tyler for setting such a friendly environment everyday! My Vanilla ice coffee is ALWAYS perfect! (Thank you Kim!)“

“Very busy location, but great service. A coffee express line would make all the difference!“

“Great location“

“Nice clean place to enjoy coffee & good eats. Friendly staff. Lots of free parking. Drive thru. Nice place to meet friends.“

“I go here every day for my nitro cold brew today I went back in because the coffee tasted off and they literally changed the keg 3 times I felt bad and told them it's not that big of an issue but they insisted and made sure I got a proper tasting coffee service 10/10 the team at the location is made up of an all-star line up. Thanks guys your the best!“

“I normally wouldn’t review a big chain brand, however this Starbucks sticks out to me, not because of their menu, but because of the atmosphere while I was in today. Not only was the staff friendly and easy to work with prepping my order timely, and the music was playing an artist not many know of, but is a staple in my family. Overall just a lovely experience.“

“Fantastic service and great cappuccino. Thanks again! Highly recommend ✌️“

“The lady with the Ariel mask and tattoo was the most friendly barista I’ve ever met! She was so talkative, helpful and even loved on my new dog while we were waiting for our drinks in the drive thru. I am a Starbucks partner in a different city and I was blown away by the kindness of this partner! ❤️“

“I come to this location a lot with my friends and family, and had never once been disappointed! The hot chocolate is absolutely delectable and I love the honey cruller doughnut! It's not usually busy and The service is very good. I love the little seating area and it's kept clean most of the time.“

“Awesome place!!!!!!!!!!😃😃😃☕️☕️☕️ lots of delicious food 🍪🧋🍷🍹🍻🥤🍞🥯 and it is just such a good place! One of the staff, named DYLAN WAS SUCH A GREAT EMPLOYEE!!!!!!!!!!!! he is so kind and thoughtful of his customers. Visit ASAP!“

“I walked in with low expectations and walked out genuinely impressed—with a super fresh salad and a massive bagel sandwich. The lettuce was crisp, the tomatoes fragrant—not those sad, days-old ones you find everywhere else. You know how rare it is to get a salad that tastes like you made it at home? This one nailed it.

And the bagel? Toasted perfectly on the inside, layered with silky lox and a bold garlic cream cheese. Absolute bliss.

While I ate, the staff handled a steady stream of customers with ease, all while keeping the floors and tables spotless. They moved together like seasoned musicians—coordinated, efficient, and totally in sync.

I only wish this wasn’t my last week in London. I’m thoroughly impressed by the food, the staff, and the cleanliness. A hidden gem I won’t forget!“

“Average Starbucks.

When I went they were sold out of almost all the food options and several of the drinks. But the staff were very friendly and offered some alternatives.

Parking: Paid parking in the lot to the northwest“

“It's nice enough, the staff are great 5 stars. I tried one of the snowmen sugar cookies and had a chai latte. Both were really good. I go to Starbucks maybe once or twice per year so I don't have much to compare. The washroom was clean for a public place. This location is quite small so I assume during busy times it's tough to get a seat, but it has a drive through so it's great if you're grabbing something to go. Good experience, thanks!“

“My brother and I stopped by while we were in Loblaws. The single worker was chipper and got us our orders quickly. Our drinks were hot and well-made, although I think their prices are a bit too high. The sitting area was clean, however, it wasn't the coziest. Being in a grocery store and all.

Parking: This Starbucks is part of Loblaws, so the Loblaws parking lot would be your ideal option.“

“During the covid-19 the restaurant has presented itself to be taking precautions to protect customers and staff. I appreciate the amount of cleaning I've seen happening even though I'm at the drive-thru! Staff are always friendly, you get what you order and the menu is always changing to keep things interesting. great place.“

“Yes the service was very good and the food was prepared properly and the cashier was polite and courteous.“

“I stop at various locations in and around London, but the Lambeth lcoation on Colonel Talbot is the one I make for a coffee (occassionaly food too) every weekday morning on my way out to the 402 on my weekday commute. The drive thru can get busy and there is often a line up of cars, but I find when Gerald is at the window things always run smoothly. I'm sure the whole team deserves the credit, but he's the face at the window and he's got the right personality to deliver the coffee as well.“

“Kind of difficult to rate atmosphere considering this location is located in the mall. However, the front staff appear to be organised, moreso than other locations.
They must have a new baker. The baked goods are much better in texture and taste.“

“Friendly staff, generally fast service makes ideal stop before work.“

“I've never actually been to Starbucks but the fellow behind the till was very pleasant when I asked if they had hot chocolate. He described it perfectly so I got a large and a pastry, both were excellent and the price was more than respectable for the quality. Servers were excellent as well. I don't have a Starbucks in my area but will continue to visit this one when in Masonville.“
