The house coffee comes from Union and the tea from Lalani. Guest options are also available. All result in pleasingly fresh beverages which are just the thing to break up a busy day. Indeed, the Macchiato I enjoyed on Monday was one of the best that I have had in London. All of this is complimented by truly charming staff. One of London's best cafes.

The sea of suits parted and I set my eyes upon this glorious tiny space. There's cool music, funny chalk drawings, awesome art work from one of the staff, a tempting cake display and super friendly staff. But the best bit? Bangin' coffee made with Square Mile or Nude beans. Well made and up there with one of the best I had during my stay in London, I was suddenly jealous of all the suits trotting about outside. Don't miss he cascara iced "coffee" with lime - one of the best examples I've had of this beverages and easy to drink on a hot day.

It's no fair that the City gets so many good coffee shops which close promptly at 5pm and don't…read moreopen at weekends :( I managed to pop into Association recently after it popped up as one of the top-rated places on the London Coffee app - it's nestled away on Creechurch Lane and it's pretty easy to miss. It's a reasonably roomy place (well, compared to a lot of artisan coffee shops) with a hint of mood lighting (and bare brick walls, of course) and would be a nice place to hang out with someone for a couple of hours. As for me, I chilled out with some Katakana practice because that's how I roll (and they sell a number of Japanese coffee equipment items). Association use Square Mile for their espresso-based coffees and they were using Workshop beans for their filters - as such, I'm guessing (although I may be off) that the filters will be fairly light and complex in character. I'm less of a fan of tea-style filters so I went for a long black. I generally enjoy Square Mile's espresso blends, but this was probably the best one I've had in town so far - absolutely spot on in terms of balance. The staff were pretty chilled out too - I was quite surprised that the overall vibe was really relaxed considering its location. Unfortunately I could only stay for one but I'll definitely want to come back again for longer.

Food/drinks: Tea was excellent (I had both mint and sencha). Coffee and cakes seemed to be enjoyed by my colleagues. Didn't see any gluten free options. Service: Efficient, helpful.

There are coat racks and a mix of tables seating 3-4, a communal table, and a little bar seating area too. It did get very dull around 10 am, so I think it's all about timing. Would happily return.

The brioche was thick and fluffy and there was a good assortment of fresh fruits on the side. I believe it was around 12.50 GBP, which is not bad. I also got an apple juice (4.50 GBP), which tasted like it was freshly squeezed although slightly on the tart side. The interior has a cozy, bustling vibe. I was able to find a table without much of a wait, although it was a bit busy on a weekend afternoon. The staff are average friendliness and you order/pay up at the counter even if you're dining in (they bring the food to you though if you're ordering from the brunch menu). Overall, Exmouth Coffee Company is a very solid option whether you're looking for a breakfast, brunch, or snack/drink.

It was a bit too syrupy sweet and artificial for my liking. I feel like I definitely would have enjoyed my drink more if I had gotten a plain matcha latte. Also they only had the larger size straws which was kind of awkward fitting for my regular sized drink.

On my last visit, a coworker told me about this little gem, which is not far from Lloyd's. It was a freezing cold day, I didn't have a coat, but I still went on the journey to Konditor & Cook. They have such a huge variety of cakes, brownies, and other sweet treats, along with coffees and other beverages. I got the lemon cake, which came highly recommended - it was amazing! I also had a hot chocolate (I don't drink coffee often), but my coworker had a latte and it looked good.

I know they are typically known for their cakes but the lunches here give you quick access to homemade classic dishes. I usually get the enchilladas, chili con carne, fish pie (super good!) or one of the daily quiches. The menu changes daily and there is rarely a time I don't find something to drool over. If you go I highly recommend the Boston Brownie, Raspberry Chequerboard Cake and the Millionaire Shortbread from the bakery. My only issue: Take the mushrooms out of the Mac n Cheese! Seriously, who puts mushrooms in mac n cheese???
