Ertugrul ErolJuly 21, 2011Great music, one of the best black Americanos in London. And the free wifi is a big bonus! You can enjoy soft drinks or a bottle of ginger beer too... Perfect to hang around / get some work done!
Marco SousaAugust 14, 2014Great espresso based drinks that can be paired with tempting pastries. The decor has an interesting character and there is more seating downstairs. Recommended +++
I am yet to find a better cafe in Soho with free wifi, friendly staff & amazing food as here. BONUS: they're open into wee hours of the night for all your late night coffee fixes!
Iolie SymeouOctober 19, 2013love this place.... polite staff, good coffee esp. their flatwhite, lots of seating downstairs and unique environment- not the typical hipster style coffee shop you would expect to find in shoreditch!
Luke 🍺 Murphy-WearmouthAugust 20, 2015Downstairs isn't open anymore, so very few power sockets. Service is ridiculously slow and everyone seems a bit pissed off. The food and tea are lovely though. The infusions in particular are gorgeous
MEININGER HotelsApril 4, 2014Here in the heart of Soho, the amiable owners Quintin and Georgina opened their little kingdom of delicacies: homemade bread and pastries, good coffee and meals for lunch and dinner.
- Always ALWAYS pick the French toast which comes overloaded with cooked ham & gooey cheese on the inside. Alternatively you can also get the bacon&cheese croissant for the lighter stomachs! 😋
Tobias ReynoldsApril 29, 2013As a Chelsea bun aficionado, I highly recommend theirs. Have it slightly warm and just lay back as the sweet cinnamon and mosit bun envelops you.
WendyAugust 6, 2013Great space downstairs for wifi working or a creative meeting .. Fast wifi and sockets in far right corner. Lovely tasting coffee, house red also recommended.
This is a nice little place with everything you want from a coffee shop: great flat whites, healthy food options, free wi-fi, and quiet downstairs.
Nat MNovember 27, 2015Cosy spot for breakfast! The poached eggs with haddock was yummy. Tiny place, so prepared to be crammed next to strangers, but well worth it.
Hui-ern NgJune 19, 2015The French toast with pear, summer berries and honeycomb. Just get it (plus a side of bacon of course)
Chris PhillipsJanuary 1, 2015Unassuming from the outside, this place has a lovely, quirky basement. Good espresso, with beans from The Roasting Party in Winchester.
A foursquare suggestion that is definitely one to check out! Easy to miss from the outside, but quaint and lovely on the inside. Cheese toasties are to die for!
João FerreiraApril 16, 2014Really good cakes and muffins. Good place to relax. Quick WiFi and confortable seats in case you want to get some work done while here.
Jason LearAugust 16, 2014Has free wifi which is always handy. The French toast sandwich was naughty and the coffee was good. If you are more partial to something stronger try the craft beer they stock.
Robert GreenAugust 24, 2014Great coffee and made with speed; perfect if you're catching a quick pick me up after work. Atmosphere in bounds!
Darren MurphyMarch 3, 2014Really great coffee, great selection of cakes - but if you're after a chat in company rather than working, may not be the best venue (loud music!)
Julia DennisonAugust 11, 2012They use their own blend of chocolate for the mochas and hot chocolates. The mocha is dreamy. Even if you're not normally a mocha person, you must try.
Simon DanceApril 2, 2011Great little coffee shop with Monmouth beans. Perhaps a little out of place being only spitting distance from the sex shops and fruit Market, but this is a real gem. Free wifi to.
My favoured lunch place for passing nomz. The sandwiches are incredible and, if you fancy something sweet, you *must* try the chocolate fudge brownies: £1.50 for a mouthgasm.
Bradley CheshamJune 19, 2014Coffee is great, snakcs can also be very worthy and on the way out you can grab a comic book from GOSH!
Marina NotrimaOctober 29, 2012Good coffee, delicious sandwiches and a "to die for" selection of cakes! Try to get a seat at the window!
Lele BuonerbaAugust 6, 2014Great service and good coffee, even though this place is a bit pricey (not more than other coffee shops in the area).- Chilled, under-stated, good coffee and simply *amazing* food - F&G is my new favourite part of Soho. The Saturday afternoon vibe is perfect...
Ingrina CarsonOctober 20, 2014Just had a little flat white and a treat here. Neither lived up to my expectations as I thought they would. Coffee quite milky and brownie tasting just of sugar.
Barney CraggsMay 15, 2012Great spot, secure wifi & some power esp downstairs. Espresso & Long Black coffee is up there with best I've had in London.
Tim FergusonMay 9, 2013Excellent pulled pork buns. Everything else looks delicious too. No perfect edges, rather generous and sloppy - amazing!
Stavroula KonidariAugust 27, 2015The staff are truly excellent. 👌the only rosé on the menu is nice, too. 🍷
Duncan BirchJanuary 23, 2014Very very nice coffee. Not Monmouth beans anymore. Used the roasting party which is an Australian supplier. Tasty
Lena KakavouliJuly 3, 2016Laid back cosy place for coffee, brunch, good range of cakes, industrial design, nice music.
Cannis ChanOctober 22, 2015chilled atmosphere with great coffee; large collection of cakes to choose from
Phil KenchSeptember 20, 2015The small range of "cruffins" (croissant +muffin) was a surprise, I recommend the raspberry jam.
Liis SaarJuly 26, 2015Wifi password is Foxcroft78. The salads looked delicious and coffee was top-notch!
Amazing good toasted rolls, i haven't had one i didn't like! Lots of vegetarian options too. One of my favorites for a late lunch and coffee.
Rusty DJune 18, 2013Amazing Gluten free desserts! Flour less chocolate cake and orange and chocolate loaf! Yum yum
New layout is great, much better atmosphere and more welcoming. Coffee and food excellent as ever.
Alexandra PaunAugust 7, 2014The mushroom eggs benedict, and their black coffee make a perfect breakfast
Evening StandardMay 22, 2012You might sit on an old gym horse to drink yours but it’s served in floral print china cups and arrives prompt-ish (if you don’t get the new barista). Read more
Elliot PearsonAugust 24, 2011If there's another coffee shop in London (if not the world) that has decor that suits using vaulting horses as tables I'm yet to see it...

Quirky, charming coffee house in the backstreets of Soho. Food, drink and decor are all outstanding, as a result it's ridiculously busy during the middle of the day.
