Modern interior, friendly staff, variety of seating. Loved their IPA, wasn't keen on their experimental lunch special but the food on the menu was very tasty. Can be crowded over lunch but wr didn't wait long before the food arrived. Larger tables make it trendy for people with laptops.
I found a hidden gem for working remotely. It is not an entirely coffee shop, but a lobby in a hotel near Holborn underground station. I think this place has a feel of New York like Brooklyn warehouse. Quite a cool meeting point with your client actually.

Category: Coffee shop in the hotel
WIFI: Reliable, free to use
I tried to test the speed but it turns out
Download: 9.65 Mbps
Upload: 9.34Mbps
PING: 8ms

Not fast but still could work.
Seating: There are lots of desks, proper tables and sofas, and there is a full restaurant and bar adjacent if you would like to have a drink or working lunch, it could meet all your demands. But it is busy and the seats are quite handy and it is not easy to find many plug sockets near those tables or desks.
Toilet: The bathroom in the lobby of hotel definitely is better than that in a coffee shop. No need to have a long queue.
Ambience: Comfy armchairs and sofas, plenty of larger tables, coffee service at your seats, and you’ll always see interesting people passing through during the day. Yes, it’s busy but civilised, sometimes you may be distracted by the busy surroundings.
Cost: Coffee £2.5-£4.5
Breakfast £5-£14 (most are British dish)
Dishes on the all-day menu are a wide range of selections as what you could think in a restaurant.
Something Special about the cafe:
(1) You could bring your own snacks or food;
(2) It is open much later that anywhere else around so if you would like to work well into the evenings, it is a good place to stay!
Really enjoyed thier Christmas lunch. Spacious but managed to maintain a cosy environment. Food was great, especially the scallops. Very generous servings. Staff are very friendly and accomadating (4 adults, 4 year old and baby with stroller). Overall, a lovely experience. Just what we we're looking for.
Everything here was fantastic, the service, the food and the drinks. This place has fantastic vibes and friendly service. The food is amazing and looks like art work.
Went for the Sunday Feast which is priced well for the amount of food on offer. The staff are polite and on our visit we saw someone from a Made in Chelsea. The meat section was the highlight for me, they cut and cook if for you and it's a feast so you can go there as often as you like. Would definitely go here again but only once in a while.
Trendy eatery within the hotel Huxton. Friendly staff, simple and good menu, quick service & good prices.
The check can be put on the room of you're staying at the hotel!
Only downside was the very high noise level.
Casual upmarket eatery locales in the Hoxton hotel Holborn. Fancy menu with good selection of starters and main courses. I had cured salmon, venison and Bakewell tart. All well cooked and well presented. A few friends had the the burgers which were average. All round good service, tasty food in a relaxing environment. Thanks
We absolutely love having breakfast at Hubbard & Bell at the Hoxton hotel in Holborn. Their egg dishes are simple yet perfectly made. You must try their fried eggs with toast, scrambled eggs, and avocado, sourdough and poached eggs.
I was a bit worried after seeing some negative reviews. However, my experience was actually okay. I found place to sit down with no issues although I did not see any places to charge laptop. The food and service was fine too. The only issue was that they burnt my steak a bit. There was music but you can still have a conversation or talk on the phone.
Trendy, spacious interior with plenty of couches and armchairs, though there is a proper dining room as well. Staff lets you take your time and many people bring laptops or hold casual business meetings here. This place is owned by Soho House and is actually located inside the lobby of The Hoxton Hotel, so look for a sign for The Hoxton from the outside.
