Excellent coffee, lovely staff, beautiful decor and great ambience - definitely worth stopping in before/after a trip to the British Museum!

Nice and cozy cafe across the street from brittish museum. Coffee was very tasty and the service fast and convenient.

One of the few coffee-focused places in London that is trying to do something different with its ambience. Elegant cups, seating, and interior design, with the Jewish-Polish babka offered as its main bakery. Convenient for the British Museum queue.

It says Café, but it serves really great coffee! The entrance and main shop is modern and nicely done, but inside lunchroom is dark and doom, but it adds to the shop. It is in progress say. It is worth the visit when you go to the British Museum for example. All is home made, so don't expect croissant. But you will get a good choice of home made cakes. And bananas! Much to the delight of our little one, because she couldn't trust her eyes yet with the cakes. Shame, cakes were worth it!

Super nice and chill cafe right across the British Museum...
I just had a warming tumeric latte, and enjoyed the beautiful tulips by the window and looking at the view of the British Museum, whilst enjoying to their retro golden playlist.
Beautiful vintage design too. Worth to come!

Best coffee I have had in Europe! If you are an Aussie, you’ll love the coffee here. Good services and prices and right across from the British Museum.

Cute space (although small)- there’s an additional room in the back with a few chairs! They got wifi and a few places to sit with a laptop- though they are limited.
My oat latte was quite nice, as was the chocolate babka which had nuts in it. The price for both was 5 pounds which seems really reasonable for London/the area!
The only drawbacks were that the staff member was a bit rude (maybe he was having a bad day?), and coffee was served in disposable rather than reusable cups.

Really cute little cafe with super friendly staff and lovely coffee. With the architecture background, the owner put together all the furniture in the shop, based on a pastel theme and creating a sense of elegance with velvet chairs, marble table tops as well as floral china dishes and sugar containers. I particularly love the backroom which has a fireplace and a cosy vibe in general 😍
