Found these guys just around the corner from my blood donation session at Winchester Cathedral. From the reviews and first impressions it looked a shoe-in for another 5star rating.
Love the atmosphere and choice (especially the very tantalising treats at the counter & two sizes of Flat White) ... very tough to grab just a drink.
So .... the review reflects all the above plus the influence of a slice of toasted banana bread (with dark chocolate pieces) and “butter”.
Flat White - 3.5🌟- great flavour to the espresso but not enough body/punch) ... I took the larger size which might be the issue
Banana Bread - Ka-ching - 5🌟 (although I must add the proviso that the butter was not the hoped for pure butter with a hint of salt ... which would have been pure bliss on the slice but the blended soft “tastes just like butter” version.
I look forward to a future visit and updating my rating to (hopefully) 5🌟

Months ago, my fiance and I came here on a trip from the US. We shared a Malacca latte and still use it as a way to measure how good things are. Today I had tea that was great and he asked if it's as good for tea as the Malacca latte was for coffee, he called it a 10 out of 5, and placed it in his top 3 culinary experiences. I don't know how but they managed to make it dairy free, super smooth, not really acidic, and it didn't upset my (very sensitive) stomach or give me the jitters. I think it was probably prepared by a wizard.
Maybe I'm overhyping a little bit, but I can say that easily it's the best coffee Ive ever had and while I'm not a huge coffee aficionado I've had my fair share of different coffees. When we go back to London, we will stopping by to have another :)

Popped in on a Saturday morning to meet a friend, coffee was really good and they were happy to do an iced, even in winter. Lots of the cakes are vegan, I enjoyed the lemon muffin, and it was moist and fluffy even without eggs. The staff were sweet and brought your order over, which is always appreciated. 4 stars over 5 because the seating layout is not great. It's a small shop, and has a couple really big tables that take up most of the open space. There's a nice little seat in the back corner, but otherwise a two has to take high stools at a bar type table or squish by the counter. But still, a good vibe and great coffee which is really the point. It's just round the corner from Costa too so why not upgrade your beverage with a better brew AND support an independent business!

The coffee was good and the place was cozy. I'm glad I found it. I'm giving this place 5 stars because the halloumi and pesto wrap was off the hook. It was bigger than I expected and the cup of chips (crisps) was a nice touch!

Love this place. Being from sydney we are pretty snobby about our coffee. This place hits the spot when I’m craving a decent coffee. London coffee is rubbish but these guys place nail it. They even have a great selection of sweets.

Nice coffee, nice atmosphere. Friendly staff, they forgot my croissant tho, obviously when I told them they served me another one. (That's why 4 stars.) I recommend it overall ✨

I have to say that the coffee was good and the banana bread nutty (yum). I did not get geeked-out cafe art on my flat white but the taste was there. Cool mugs!

Delicious hot chocolate. Friendly and fast service. If you want a specific fandom on your drink they are happy to accommodate you and pop it on. The coffee house is in a central location so it's expensive, but I wouldn't say over-priced. You get a quality product.

good coffee and good vibe. there's not too many places to sit though. if you are looking for an alternate to 'bucks, Nero, or Costa this is a recommend

Absolutely wonderful experience. I wasn't expecting much because I imagined it as a regular coffee shop, but was so pleasantly surprised by the coffee, the food, and the staff! I expected a very mediocre and overpriced avocado toast that's going to be unsatisfying, but look at this avocado toast! That's like a WHOLE avocado! I definitely recommend dropping by to treat yourself a bit!

Great coffee. Cute atmosphere with the little sandwich kitchen. Plus their Milano Toastie changed my life. I like how they make everything right in front of you in their artsy little kitchen

I’m a coffee geek. But not so populous in the friends department here, yet. Cough. Probably not with that attitude anyway. I took a stroll to Argos (as you do on a Sunday morning) and ended up at Coffee Geek & Friends whose interior was almost reminiscent of one of my Melbourne haunts. Good times. The flat white was fair, oddly served in a mug but hey, all the more to enjoy. Decent brew and aromas. I also had a BLT sandwich, can’t quite remember the price but felt like it was on the high side. But you get some bonus chips. It’s a very British thing, having chips (I mean crisps) but the extra saltiness is always appreciated. I enjoyed the sourdough, a nice crust, and the fillings were all fresh. Not the most exciting bacon though – a crisp variant or a freshly grilled ,eat slice would have made it more special. I enjoyed the ambiance and it was a comfy spot to chill, before I had to get up to grab my shopping. Service was spot on, a good spot for a morning.
