    Lots of light, friendly service and good coffee. They also do decent brunch and the traditional coffee shop sweets aka salted caramel brownie, banana bread etc.

    Superb espresso and white coffee drinks, including latte and flat white. Also definitely try their 16-hour cold-brew coffee; I'm not a fan of black coffee, but that one was surprisingly good.

    Nice little shop around the corner in Russell Square, serving tasty pancakes (too sweet imo) and good coffee!

    We had the banana pancakes and a ‘make your own plate’ which consisted of sourdough toast, smoked salmon, poached eggs and halloumi. Accompanied by a mocha and a flat white. All gorgeous!

    Good place for brunch. Bread from The Dusty Knuckle bakery and good scrambled eggs. Flat white also good. The staff was a bit rude but just a bad day I guess.

    Quaint place; classic dishes with a little twist (try the egg scrambles.) Most importantly, their espresso drinks are just lovely 💯

    Lovely place for pastries, coffee and fancy toast. Probably not the top coffee place in the area but certainly close to the top tier. Matcha lattes here are decent if unexceptional.

    Pancakes are huge! More hotcake in texture, to be precise. Solid iced latte (although they served it with a little foam, which is not my preference).

    Lovely service, good flat white. I had an over-sized and over-sweet piece of coffee cake, but maybe I only have my self to blame for that. Nice spot to read a book.

    Really like the nice chill ambiance of the place. Friendly staff, good food (ordered the sabich). However would have preferred if food was served warm

    Had a matcha latte and the pancakes from the brunch menu on a Saturday morning. Pancakes were super fluffy and came with tasty blueberry jam, ricotta and crumble.

    The flat white was a bit flavourless, but the cappuccino was surprisingly better. Nice big slice of carrot cake to compensate. 8/10

    Good flat white, heavy uni student vibe. Yummy custard tart! Feels a bit less airy and more cavernous than the Store street branch.
