ChaffroNovember 12, 2013Eating beans from a cardboard tray in a urinal? This is the place to experience the hobo-chic lifestyle you've always dreamed of!
Lucianne LMay 28, 2013Have a flat white on urinal seats... life can't get any better than this! A must visit cafe in London..
James BrenchleySeptember 5, 2016Best Flat White I've ever had in view of a urinal. Staff are friendly too.
Get the breakfast muffin with maple cured bacon, Swiss cheese, egg & spinach
Marwa KhalilJanuary 17, 2014Great location it's very kitsch. Coffee was yum and the staff were lovely. Plus BBC discount available.
Christopher da CostaApril 27, 2013One does not simply come here for coffee...nor the urinal tables. But for the ridiculously amazing French Toast!
Paul FisherJuly 16, 2013Give the cold brewed hibiscus tea a whirl on a hot summers day. Sort you right out.
Attendant occupies London’s most original location for a coffee bar: a late-nineteenth-century gents’ toilet. I'll Just have to resist making puns, it'll piss you off.
Emily HOctober 26, 2013Tea is in tea leaves, that come in a small see through tea pot which you can refill for free :)
Mischa LumiereApril 25, 2015Interesting location. Very warm downstairs. Definitely trendy. Coffee was good. Lots of food options.
MeganJanuary 20, 2016Drinking coffee and eating best Oreo brownies ever... In the Victorian toilet.. ;)
George KyriakosApril 4, 2018Ingenious use of space in a former public toilet. Good coffee, but expensive and small portions of food. Waffles are great, but... only one came on the plate.. Yet, it was filling!
Alberto G.S.August 14, 2013Definitely worth a visit. Delicious coffee and original location (old Victorian public toilet).
James GallagherAugust 18, 2014The salted caramel brownie is fantastic. Perfect if you like a runny centre brownie
Urban NomadFebruary 21, 2013A repurposed Victorian toilet, with delicious coffee and food. What's there not to love?
James BrookeAugust 31, 2013Amazing conversion, great coffee, rude staff - which could have been because it was hotter than a sauna in there.
Leah W.July 29, 2013Kitsch at its finest. Ridiculously amazing coffee. Free wifi. No flash photography inside. Benches upstairs. Curbside service bell to the side of the door. PS. Be warned - no working toilets here.
Must visit for tourists and regulars, exquisite coffee and food
Sarah FrackowiakNovember 23, 2014Love the coffee here. The breakfast food is great too but pretty expensive for what it is.
CalvinMay 2, 2016Good coffee from Caravan, but it's just weird. No comfy chairs, but otherwise a decent place to get a coffee if you can get over the environment.
Dileep KaluaratchieMay 31, 2015Affogato is excellent on a warm day. I don't think they have toilets here!!

"Definitely in my top 3 coffee shops in London so far. Good quality beans and the baristas know what they are doing (must have been trained in Melbourne 😉). The staff's chirpiness is infectious."
