One of the best coffee shops in central London! Both the food and coffee are always excellent - and the free oat milk is a nice bonus! Their granola bar - pictured here - is perfect for a not-too-sweet pick-me-up, but their cacao and peanut butter energy balls also make for a great snack. As this is right near many of London's universities, it's worth noting that they offer a student discount (especially useful if you're studying abroad here in London and are on a tight budget).

Wanted to take shelter in a nice cafe between sessions at LSE. The name sounded fantastic for a coffee lover. The coffee was fantastic as well. Unfortunately not enough seats to enjoy it. Takeaway coffee cups are kill joys for me and the price was in the higher side. In summary, if one just loves the coffee , it’s flavour and texture then this is definitely the place for you but if values the experience of having a coffee that includes reflection, conversation , exploration or solitude, then the his place may meet all of those expectations

This is a great little coffee shop, just a few minutes walk from Holborn station. They serve good coffee and have a selection of teas also. I went here to catch up with an old colleague and the clientele were an eclectic mix of business people, students and tourists. It made for a fresh and happy atmosphere. The selection of food also looked good, although I didn't try it. Service was quick, which was appreciated.

High quality food and coffee, for those that don’t drink milk they only had almond and oat milk, but whichever oat they used was good. The avocado with egg on toast was great. The service is quick, the music not too loud and the decor shabby chic. I’d come here again no question.

It’s a coffee kinda day in London .... Just on my way back from PT and decided to pop into this place for a coffee before hitting the rush hour rush on the underground!! When you order a coffee to drink in they let you sit down and they bring the coffee over when it’s ready. Lovely coffee Friendly staff Reasonable prices Fab music and atmosphere Fast and professional service Much better to support the small business rather than the big coffee companies Highly recommended

Really cute espresso and coffee bar next to Sicilian Avenue around Holborn. Stumbled on it really as we searched for a nice cafe for coffee. It’s cosy, bright and the staff are super friendly and professional. The coffee was really nice. I had a latte. My friend had a tea. Good vibes, not too loud, food seemed very healthy and organic though we didn’t eat, I could smell the food being served and it looked yum. Will definitely go back.

Loved this place - chill vibes - AMAZING food. The coffee is very distinct so you have to like that. I had the avo toast - and came back the second day for eggs and toast with a side of sausage Really cool spot 👌

Loooove this little coffee shop! Amazing brunch food, lattes, and atmosphere. Great place to grab a quick bite or to sit around awhile and lounge. The smoked salmon is a must!!

Great coffee... Friendly staff. Worth a detour for a great coffee. Their Piccolo is beautifully strong and smooth, perfect. £2.80, bit on the expensive side, but worth it! Music brilliant... Remember there are no toilet facilities here. Lots of bites to choose from, there used to be more when I last visited, maybe it's because it's Christmas time. Thanks guy, keep up the wonderful coffees 🌼
