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".“

“I’m not a big fan of cookies and only tried this place because they were selling knafeh pistachio chocolate bars (unfortunately, to my knowledge, they’re no longer doing that). But I decided to try a cookie here one day and was super impressed by how delicious it was. The texture is perfect, the ingredients are good quality, and the slightly nutty flavour of the dough is perfect. Definitely the best cookies I’ve had in London by far.“

“Cosy atmosphere. I like it“

“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! 💚 ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐“

“I am not a fan of 'breakfast places', but enjoyed meal here.

Lots of options on menu. Lead to some confusion in ordering, but was quickly solved.

It was busy when we were finishing our meal, but it was not loud, which I appreciated.“

“Donuts were so fluffy and not cloyingly sweet. Lots of vegan options as well. Bahn mi sandwich was also delicious. The atmosphere is friendly and relaxed“

“Exceptional quality. Great customer service.“

“Nice patio ! Great for the summer“

“Great Patio, great staff, great coffee, great food. On top of all the positives with the cafe there is an excellent bike shop with a team that is enthusiastic about biking as a realistic alternative to city driving. The place has a great vibe and our whole family enjoys coming here.“

“We stopped by today after 1pm and greeted as we entered into the bubble tea store and excellent customer service.

Explained step by step to my little one who wanted a bubble tea.

We ordered witches brew I think it was and it tasted amazing.

Stop by fir your own bubble tea drink and excellent customer service.

Kid-friendliness: The employee is super friendly for children.“

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

“Great ambiance, coffee, and location.“

“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.“

“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 💜!!!“

“UPDATE:
Happiness has restored their patio now that the Wellington street construction is wrapping up. I've had numerous visits here with mom since first posting, all of them terrific. Treated ourselves to a Caramel eclair this time. Delicious!

ORIGINAL REVIEW:
What a great coffee shop. Happens to be my mother's favourite place for coffee. Had a wonderful visit with mom and my uncle sitting on Happiness' patio. I had a very delicious cappuccino which was great with a strawberry croissant. Delightful baked goods, wonderful coffee and a patio to enjoy on a beautiful sunny day, what more could you need? Visit Happiness, you'll be glad you did.“

“Nestled beside the Indigo Book Store, the Starbucks café is a true gem for book lovers and coffee enthusiasts alike. As you step inside, the aroma of freshly brewed coffee envelopes you, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere. What truly sets this Starbucks apart is its friendly and attentive staff. They go above and beyond to ensure that each customer receives prompt service and a personalized experience. Whether you're a regular or visiting for the first time, you'll always feel welcomed and appreciated here.“

“Great staff always friendly and welcoming“

“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)“

“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!“

“Awesome store Staff are always friendly and fast“

“Starbucks is successful for a reason.Quality.It's unfortunate that there seems to be a phenomenon of tech captured zombies loitering here. I get seriously weirded out by groups of people who avoid eye contact and have their heads all hooked up to the data pirates' devices.Does anyone know how this mass capturing of the collective evolved?“

“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!)“

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

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

“nice little shop. I came in looking for the commercial pods but unfortunately they are only on-line items or found at larger stores. Regardless, Ricardo was helpful in showing me the retail machines and treated me to a fantastic coffee. I’ll likely return for a home machine.“

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

“Amber consistently demonstrates exceptional customer service at this Starbucks location, distinguishing herself from "Karen's" previous feedback. She goes above and beyond to ensure every patron feels welcomed and integrated into the Starbucks community. Amber takes the time to learn customers' names and preferences, accurately recalling their drink orders during subsequent visits, even months after.

Her exemplary conduct is a model for other staff members across Starbucks Canada and deserves recognition. As a regular customer, I have not encountered any negative remarks regarding Amber's service; she is frequently commended for her outstanding, world-class customer interactions.

Moreover, the entire team at this location excels in building rapport with customers, surpassing the service quality observed at other locations. This collective effort should be acknowledged and praised rather than overshadowed by the criticisms of a minority of dissatisfied "Karens."

The team provides exceptional world-class customer service at the 1725 Richmond Starbucks location in London, Ontario. Great job going above and beyond for all customers every time, no matter who the customer is or their attitude towards staff!“

“The Vegan donuts literally melt in your mouth! So fluffy and an amazing selection of toppings. The staff were absolutely delightful“

“I met a very smart and sincere server today.... Amal, the tall handsome guy was very sweet and polite who served the food with a very pleasant smile.
Just because of his behaviour, i would like to give maximum ratings for service.
Congratulations, Tim for finding such reliable guys as server and making our day awesome.“

“🤘🥰Very good staff beautiful place“

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

“Shar is always so cheerful, she greets everyone with a beautiful smile. All the staff at the Oxford St W location make my visits very enjoyable. Quite often I have to customize my food for diet restrictions. They have never gotten it wrong, it is always perfectly prepared!“

“It's a coffee shop like all the rest there is Donuts and food it's ok for a A Tim Horton“

“Great staff and excellent customer service.. Keep it up guys... Always busy but fresh food. Morning staff are great 👍🏻“

“The staff get to know there customer and remember there orders just all around great staff and a very friendly atmosphere I don't think I've ever had a issue with any order they did forget a hash brown but quickly fixed my order with an apology witch was nice Linda and her staff are super nice I wish it was open Sunday that would be my only complaint“

“I have been visiting this store nearly every single day for 7 years, to pick up my mobile order. This is a VERY busy location, yet they have never disappointed. Over this time I have seen them running back and forth tending to every customers needs, with urgency, professionalism and kindness. I will continue to visit this store, simply for the effort and thoughtfulness of the GM, Gerald and his hard working staff.“

“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“

“I always go to this location after my therapy sessions, and I've never had any problems with my orders (occasionally though they hear grande when i say venti, but i just pretend that is the universe telling me I dont actually need that much caffeine) - they are always more than willing to correct any errors - even if it is the cx mistake- and staff is super friendly and helpful. Gotten many good coffee tips/recommendations as well and haven't been misguided yet“

“We picked up a special drink after a meal at the Korean restaurant next door. Kid was a bit idecisive but staff rolled with it with grace. I got an Early Gray Milk Tea with minimal sweetness and it was perfect. Very good. Kid got a matcha thing. They said it was good but....I mean, it was matcha. :) Bonus was we got a Diwali discount. I really enjoy this chain and we will be back when we return to the area.“

“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.“

“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!“

“Very easy going and great customer service!

Kid-friendliness: Kids were calm and recognized that it was a calm environment and the staff were very kind to people of all ages

Parking: Parking is always crazy but still a good amount of spaces.

Wheelchair accessibility: My wife is disabled and the access abilities were helpful.“

“I grabbed a quick lunch at this location on Monday. I ordered the rainbow smoothie and spinach bagel extra toasted with sun dried tomato & feta cream cheese, alfalfa sprouts, cucumber and red onion. It was delicious and the rainbow smoothie was also delicious but very thick! I had to wait a little while for it to melt to drink it properly lol.“

“Hello @Marcin Tandecki, Neena from Starbucks here. Thank you for your review, please know that Starbucks is working to get mobile order at this location in the short future. This was not something available to our Licensed Stores in Canada. We just launched it and will have this service at this location. Not their fault; thank you for your feedback!“

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

“Most of my experiences here have been good but recently my orders have been getting messed up. Last week I ordered an iced capp and a caramelized onion and parmesan savory pinwheel instead I got an iced capp and roasted red pepper and Swiss savory pinwheel, and today I ordered 1 medium iced capp, 1 bacon farmer's wrap, and 1 caramelized onion and parmesan savory pinwheel. The employee who input my order entered 1 medium iced capp, 1 caramelized onion and parmesan savory pinwheel, and 2 bacon farmer's wraps. I brought it to the attention and got a refund for the extra bacon farmer's wrap they added to my order but this wouldn't have happened if the order was entered correctly“
