Non-coffee experts are also welcome here. Typical Shoreditch crowd - posing with their iProducts and sketchpads - but every now and then a coach-load of wanderers turn up to mix things up a little.
Roberto BuaOctober 7, 2015Amazing coffee and open until 7PM (at least on Saturdays) which is unusual for coffee shops in East London.
Est KNovember 7, 2014Great coffee, cute little booth is a nice working/people-watching space. Just need to ask for a wi-fi code every 60 minutes, which is a great way to get guilted into buying another drink!
Lara-marie NöhMarch 20, 2017They know how do make a real good long black. Not too thin not to strong with an amazing fruity roasting. Amazing Baristas and good atmosphere to work or just to sit and enjoy.
Carlee PotterJune 24, 2014Just got here from LA where no one knows what a flat white is so I was stoked to order a soy flat white with no questions asked, and no directions necessary. A bloody good one too! (Ps I'm from Aust)
Great coffee! Not the usual stuff you get from a coffee chain. They have guest beans to try out and a good selection of cakes and bakery to munch on with your cup a Joe.
This is one of Shoreditch's most valuable gems. Great service, -athmosphere, -coffee and -pastries (!). Come for work inside or for coffe and cigarettes on the bench outside.
Try to avoid the A/C wind streams and you shall have a great morning/afternoon coffee experience. Pastries are excellent and not from yesterday, it seems. Can recommend their iced latte.
Ankur BanerjeeJanuary 25, 2015Love the anglepoise table lamps while working in evening near the windows. Makes it feel like a productive space.
Suzi WaddellSeptember 15, 2014Great coffee, pastry/muffins and people watching here. Was happy to sit at window seat and watch world go by.
emma beeeAugust 17, 2011nice cafe in shoreditch. I love my coffee and these guys make it beautifully. Also not overpriced like some places, flat white at 2.40 matches poor old starbucks. very friendly and quick service too!
Avneesh KohliSeptember 9, 2018Cool looking coffee shop, with school desk interiors and quality coffee. Great place to get some work done.
Best coffee in Shoreditch, quick service and super friendly staff.
BrianMay 18, 2013The Fix 126 house blend is solid. Try the guest espresso in your favourite drink. The staff will let you know if they think it won't work.- the best place in shoreditch to start your day.. great atmosphere, friendly staff and the best coffee/hot chocolate in london without any doubt!
Alexandros PlexidasAugust 13, 2019Good coffee and vibes. Not a lot of spots to sit down but the proximity of tables gave a nice intimacy feeling to the place.
Shawn S.September 22, 2013real nice cozy booth at the back. plenty of plugs for people who would like to plunge into work on laptops. the catch? coffee is really bad... at least my piccolo was :(
- Gorka GuridiSeptember 24, 2018I was quite surprised with the espressos served, very good. One of the best coffeeshops in Shoreditch.
One of the better Shoreditch coffees and it stays open until 7. Try the mandarin and chocolate cake!
David Guerra TerolDecember 4, 2012Great coffee and chocolate, though not the most affordable one. Not sure what's the point of having a password with 1h limitation for wifi. Quite annoying if you want to work for a while
One of the many coffee shops in the area. They do great cheese toasted sandwiches here!
Katie ZecharSeptember 9, 2018He service is delightful. The mochas are sweet and the treats are lovely.
Finally tried the hoisin duck wrap: best hoisin sauce to duck ratio in town!
Dan DiasSeptember 7, 2013No wifi password available, they ran out apparently. Guys it is 2013, get you act together. Coffee is good and atmosphere is inviting.
Nick BrackenburyDecember 30, 2016Small chilled place that's great to pitch up and get a few hours work done. Nice coffee too!
Coffee(In)Touch GuideNovember 28, 2013They use a special FIX 126 blend of four origins, which makes the coffee bold yet sweet, with mild citrus notes. Learn More: London: Coffee(In)Touch Guide Read more
Georgina Flora AldrichNovember 6, 2019Amazing coffee, lovely staff and their pastries are pretty nice, too!
Carlos EgiaJuly 22, 2015The coffee is ok. Their attitude ain't the best. It's a shame because the place is very cool. If you are around the place is better if you walk to Brooklyn cafe.
When you smell (and taste) the coffee you'll be craving it forever. My favourite place in Shoreditch for a meeting.
They haven fancy soy milk for a small upcharge. Do it. Worth it.

Hmm the pastries are really not fresh, the music was way too loud for afternoon and although many people were with laptops working but it is bright with many windows
Joseph SJune 1, 2013The guy with tattoos and missing tooth had a sniffly nose one weekend. Saw him wiping his nose and then made the pourover. Ewwww.
Saskia WallaceOctober 26, 2015There is a sign saying 'don't use your laptops by the window' haha. Good little place though
Great location. Great tunes. Great staff. Great coffee.
Cate TFebruary 6, 2015Lovely and warm space - makes a change from freezing your arse off in chain coffee shops
Simona MFebruary 6, 2015They have almond latte! Addicted to their coffee but staff is not the nicest on earth
Christiane LinkOctober 18, 2013Oh what a shame, the coffee is nice, it's a nice room BUT the music is far too loud and unbearable. Wifi for 60 mins only and for one device. I had no 3G reception either.
Chris PhillipsMay 26, 2014Coffee here is overrated, a slight residual burnt flavour. Came here after all the glowing reviews. Allpress, Leila's and Prufrock are all nearby with better coffee.
