Excellent espresso drinks, I had a £6 flight of espresso, cascara & flat white. No "sneeze protector" in front of the top row of pastries, hair-flipper & cougher kept me away

Solid breakfast spot just around the corner from your shopping but away from the crowd. Sit down and enjoy a coffee with a brownie or any other homemade treat. They look small but do they pack flavor

Great ham and avocado sandwich, although the filling keeps trying to escape. Coffee was perfect too. Gets too busy at around lunchtime so not great for a chill out.

Very nice little coffee shop. Great selection of pastry goodies, specialty coffee. Must go in this area.

The coffee has a rich taste. Always grab a flat white and enjoy it at the bench outside. One of the best coffee places in the city!

Highly recommend the pancakes, absolutely delicious. Crisp, soft, sweet. The coffee infused syrup is also both unique and a delicious pairing. Great alongside the berries and cream. In my top 5 list.

Check out the toasted banana bread with a flat white in this award winning coffee shop. They also do coffee courses in latte art if you want to learn how to serve great coffee at home.

Flat whites are great and I'm obsessed with the almond milk iced lattes. Brownies and banana bread are top notch, and the staff are friendly, down-to-earth, AND get paid the London living wage!

Good food selection and a great place to spend a few hours.they use an interesting bean choice which offers a different taste. Slightly sweet but with enough floral notes to keep it honest.

Australian cafe the quality of coffee to die for

The Kaffeine uses Square Mile and Workshop Espresso beans, brews them in a Synesso machine, and the passion to perfect their coffee is evident in every cup. Learn More: London: Coffee(In)Touch Guide Read more

Lucky if you a got a seat here, small in size. Good coffee a bit acidic, their banana toast cake is perfect! But for me i would pick workshop over kaffeine.
Marilia🐾 PitharouliApril 23, 2017
Tasty brownies and good coffee. I had really high expectations when I visited the first time, based on the reviews I've read, and it was a bit of a let down. Still worths a visit if you're nearby.
Dominic D.September 6, 2014
Finally... Coffee properly prepared. What a delight. Forget the chains. This is the real thing! You may have to fight for a table or seat though. The place is pretty popular at peak hours.
Abdulaziz AldakhailFebruary 21, 2018
The flat white is great and the espresso is fabulous. A must for coffee tasters.
Phil AdamsFebruary 7, 2016
Very happy and positive vibe here. The coffee is very good (my flat white was delicious), and I had a great time reading in the sun at the window bar seats.

If its coffee you're looking for and you're used to high quality, Kaffeine is your place. Coffee here is solid & robust. 'Coffee Perfection' I wholeheartedly, admit and agree
New York HabitatApril 2, 2014
With the use of quality Square Mile beans, this shop serves a delicious cappuccino along with tasty locally sourced foods. Try their scrumptious banana bread!
JETApril 19, 2015
Great little coffee shop staffed with friendly Aussies. Barista is meticulous, efficient and knows the difference between a flat white and a latte. Feels like home.
Ebby DabiriNovember 24, 2019
The best mocha I had in London + Friendly and fun staff. The egg sandwich was very good, however; their reputation for “the best banana bread” is debatable! 😎

Great espresso from this venerable third wave café. Can get quite crowded, but it's nice to grab a seat on the high chairs overlooking the bar.
Natalie NgJuly 3, 2017
Americano was a little sour, the halloumi sandwich was good - with avocado fillings too !
Alexia KJuly 29, 2018
One of the best coffee places in central London, good sweets as well. Must go for the area

Arguably Fitzrovia's busiest and best Coffee Shop. The cappuccinos and lattes come highly milk-decorated and recommended, but desserts like whoopie pies and Aussie-style Portuguese tarts are quality.

My new favourite coffee shop. I believe they have two branches. This one is very small & crowded all the time but the coffee is worth it!
Mark HileyApril 12, 2013
The Red Brick espresso is staggering. adding milk or diluting this masterpiece should be illegal! The vegetarian food here is also amazing. even the staff are cool! a hidden gem
Cenk GümüşcüoğluOctober 7, 2014
Nothing special about this place. Little choice of food and they use inefficient toasters to warm up pies and muffins. Cascara was delicious though. Flat white and its foam design was London average.
Robert GreenAugust 13, 2014
Have the Ham croissant! Surprisingly delicious... And they're always so personable it feels like home in the mornings!
Magdalena WelczAugust 26, 2020
You know when you find a spot with good coffee. This is the spot. They have good beans selection and even ice latte is amazing!

We all know that the coffee served here is boss, but so is the Portuguese egg tart (nata). Incredible.
Bradley CheshamJune 19, 2014
You get the feeling this is a set standard business model now after so many new start up coffee haunts surfcaing across London from a Aussie/NZ theme. All said and down the coffee is great.
Karl DelandsheereApril 17, 2015
Cappuccino. I would have showed you the egg & pancetta sandwich but I ate it before taking a picture so... :D
Dania MuradSeptember 29, 2018
Great coffee and tasty food within cozy yet trendy surroundings. love this place. Staff are very friendly and smiley too :)
corinne marrinanJanuary 23, 2015
Great coffee and out of the ordinary breads, muffins and pastries. Small interior, best for take away
Erick KjellevoldJanuary 11, 2015
It's really crowded and not much space, but they made a really nice and fruity espresso. Also, their pastries are great. It wouldn't hurt with some more info about the coffee when they serve it thou.
Clara EloyNovember 27, 2021
Absolutely delicious Banana Bread. Probably the best I’ve ever had.
Essie SAugust 28, 2014
Great americano. The place can get a little crowded though. No place to sit or stand while waiting for coffee.
Asli YFebruary 10, 2017
Quite a tiny place with decent coffee yet you still don't feel rushed by the staff. There is a good range of pastries that look and smell amazing. Not a place to work but rather have a break or refuel
Philip CaspariApril 16, 2017
Great coffee and delicious treats (toasted Banana bread). Seating not very comfy; good for take-away though
Cate TFebruary 17, 2015
Super cool and a bit pricey. Get your coffee merch to the right of the counter - London coffee guides and aeropress machines
Wyndham MeadOctober 21, 2014
Specialty coffee in central London for those of us who wouldn't be caught dead in Starbucks, costa or pret. Yummy sweets as well.

No matter what you order, the coffee is among the best in a city spoilt with good coffee shops and the food is delicious. After two terms as mayor and over 180 visits I today humbly abdicate. Love!
Georges P.July 19, 2015
Had a really good flat white here, also plenty to choose from for breakfast. Just espresso based drinks though, no filter
SalwaSeptember 2, 2016
Good coffee, tried tgeir flat white 👌🏼
AdleyAugust 27, 2018
Good coffee, lovely salads, friendly barista and best marmelade ever!!!
Kamlesh JhabakAugust 6, 2014
Try the cafe latte or even better than best #coffeeexperienceflight Prefer the house beans.
HananJanuary 9
One of the best flat whites I've ever had in the UK. Unfortunately the kitchen was closed; thus, I couldn't try any of their food.
Jeshua MaxeySeptember 8, 2014
Whatever pasta dish I've ordered is device. Wholemeal, organic pasta w/ pickled courgette and tomato
Benjemyn DeynOctober 3, 2011
Get there early! Due to the popularity of this coffee shop, you will do well to get a decent seat at busier times. Nonetheless their drinks are worth the wait.
