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! 💚 ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐“

“Food and service are really good
Avoid sitting near the entrance
Especially in the winter

Did not enjoy breakfast at all
Took it to go instead to eat at home
Just sth about the door opening and closing and having people’s butts right by you as you are trying to eat
That wasn’t good at all“

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

“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).“

“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 💜!!!“

“I am a regular Starbucks at this location inside Indigo Book Store across from Masonville Mall. Even there is a couple mistakes that happen last month and this week. I will still give them a 5 Star as mistakes do happen including new employees who are recently started working at Starbucks. The staffs are nice and knows how I am feeling especially I am an avid drinker of caffeinated frappuccino or cold brew coffee. I buy and drink anything cold even during the Canadian winter months. Forgive their mistakes. I ordered an iced cold brew pumpkin spice latte last month; however, I ended up with the hot pumpkin spice latte on my mobile order Starbucks app. This week, I ordered a Chocolate Cream Protein Cold Brew in the Trenta size; which is the largest size on certain beverages. However, the barista give me a tall; which is the smallest size. I did not bother to complained or asked about their mistakes. It was on their mobile Starbucks app that is ordered. I spend a lot at Starbucks for the past few years, and even this 2025 year. If I am spending a lot. I should expect to have better service and comprehend the staffs to do their task right. When something is has to be done during an occupation. It has to be done right. By the way, I would appreciate those not to bring any Outside Food. I see someone before bringing a bowl of Chipotle into the Starbucks. If she is eating a bowl from Chipotle. Why doesn’t she eats her bowl at Chipotle while studying on her laptop. Just because you buy a product like a Starbucks drink from Starbucks does not mean you can also bring outside food to eat in their store. Consider the etiquette of outside food. Anything food or drinks that you buy from Starbucks should be allowed to be consume at Starbucks including sitting on their chairs and access to use their tables to study with your laptops. Eat your outside food at the mall’s food court inside Masonville Mall across the street even you do not buy food from the mall, or eat it elsewhere or at home beside eating it at Starbucks. If they are not buying food or drinks at Starbucks beside buying outside food or drinks. They can be elsewhere. Anyway, I do forgive their mistakes of the new employees. This is the best Starbucks I have gone too. It is done fast and proper ever ordered I come here. I will be back soon.

Thank you, Starbucks (inside Indigo Book Store beside Pet Smart across the street from CF Masonvillle Place on Fanshawe Park Road).“

“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!“

“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.“

“🤘🥰Very good staff beautiful place“

“Great staff always friendly and welcoming“

“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 am writing this review as a reply to the previous review by “Michi” for this store. I am a regular at this location and also have experience in customer service. I was in the cafe when you walked in and caused the incident.
This individual came in with a Shoppers bag, a receipt, and a $5 bill on the phone. The individual loudly said can I get change (still near the entrance and not at the register), one of the workers said in a nice tone “sorry we are unable to open our registers without a purchase”. As soon as this was communicated, the individual yelled something along the line of “I just needed change for the bus, I’m going to leave a Google review” and made gestures of taking pictures as she was outside the store.
As a regular and someone who worked in customer service, I understand things can happen but one shouldn’t weaponize these reviews as a method of threat by not getting things your way.
The individual you describe in the review didn’t even get to say a word, making your review even less relevant. As a regular, I would appreciate you taking down your review in which I will take mine down as well if you comply. And also, be mindful of the other people in the place who are just trying to have a nice morning with a cup of coffee.“

“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 ✌️“

“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.“

“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.“

“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! ❤️“
