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.“

“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! 💚 ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐“

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

“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“

“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.“

“Nice patio ! Great for the summer“

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

“Commonwealth Coffee has their game dialed in. The vibe is sharp without being pretentious, and the coffee? Easily some of the best in the city. You can tell they actually care about quality…beans are spot on, the milk is done right, and every cup comes out consistent. Service is fast, friendly, and on point, which is rare these days. This place isn’t trying too hard…they just know what they’re doing, and they do it well.“

“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.“

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

“Great ambiance, coffee, and location.“

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

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

“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.“

“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 💜!!!“

“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!“

“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.“

“Stopped by late in the day, but the service was extremely fast.
We ended up getting a Matcha Latte, Black Americano and Ube Cake Cup!

If you like a strong/bold americano, then the blend is perfect for you. Would love to sit in and try the food next time.“

“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?“

“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.“

“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.“

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

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

“This Tim Hortons does not have the washrooms locked which I appreciate, and they were clean. The guy at cashier was responsive. The food was hot and good. There were some crumbs on bar table I was seated at. The food was a tad slow but not a bad speed.“

“🤘🥰Very good staff beautiful place“

“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!“

“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.“

“Wery nice staff coffee it’s hot“

“Awesome store Staff are always friendly and fast“

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

“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“

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

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

“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.“

“🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟
I want to take a moment to recognize one of the amazing team members at this Tim Hortons. Mattgew always greets customers with a warm smile and a friendly attitude. His customer service is truly outstanding — he goes above and beyond to make sure we’re happy, and he often offers us great options with kindness and care. It’s rare to find someone so genuinely welcoming and attentive. Thank you for making every visit such a positive experience. You truly make a difference!👌“

“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“

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

“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“

“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.“

“Fast and super friendly! The kind of service and chit chat that I don’t usually come to expect from a quick service restaurant. It felt like the kind of place I’d actually want to come back to - simply because the people working there were wonderful.“

“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!“
