Artisan are an Australian coffee shop serving excellent Long Blacks and Flat Whites in the £2 to £2.50 range. This recently-opened Chiswick/Hammersmith branch has bagged the prime spot right on Young's Corner where The Goldhawk Road meets The High Road. They've got huge windows looking out on the local traffic and commuters rushing to nearby Stamford Brook station. It's a great place to watch the world go by. Inside could be described as industrial-classroom chic, with wooden surfaces, metal stools and a selection of interesting lightbulbs dangling from the ceiling. Only a few days after opening it was already packed at lunchtime with people "working" on the wifi with their obligatory silver MacBooks. Is this what unemployed people do these days? Or is this a new type of job I don't know about? Actually... they're probably just writing Yelp reviews read more

Artisan - Long Black - Coffee & Tea Near Me - London, XGL

Coffee solid but not extraordinary. Sandwiches and baked goods meh. (or more accurately bland beyond bland.) room light sunlit and spacious - a real pleasure. crowd - mega cool. as a location it is tremendous - and the coffee won't kill you. for better food and coffee - fields beneath is a clear choice - but how many people are going to go from hammersmith to kentish town for coffee? read more

I am telling you, my street has a lot of good places, it's a shame that not many people comes for a walk here. This new coffee a proof of it. I have been a couple of times and the food is good. And the coffees are too. It is always really busy and has given that corner a nice revamp, it used to look a bit sad and just a place to pass by. read more

Artisan - As you can see ... Top notch ! - Coffee & Tea Near Me - London, XGL

What a fantastic spot for breakfast! We went in with a group of five and, while seating was a bit tight for a group that size, the atmosphere, food, and tea more than made up for it. I had the french toast with raspberry compote and crème fraîche. My wife had the scrambled eggs on toast, my daughter has the french toast with maple bacon, my son had the blueberry pancake, and my niece had the yoghurt with granola. We were all extremely pleased with our meals. read more

This chilled little corner cafe has the best flat white in the area by a long shot and a fun spin-the-wheel based loyalty card system that makes your morning coffee far more interesting! You'll find a mix of the MacBook / yummy mummy / hipster crowd frequenting this joint, which also makes for some hilarious people watching. They do a brilliant almond croissant but I couldn't really taste the rose in the pistachio and rose cake pictured above. Aside from their awesome locally sourced (Allpress Espresso) beans, I have a real appreciation for the fact that I can actually drink my coffee immediately - I've burnt my tongue way too many times getting too excitable about getting my caffeine fix in the morning (mostly because I'm impatient as), but Artisan gets the temperature just right. Highly recommend. read more

Best coffee in town, super friendly Australian staff Make sure to ask a late with a lamington cake read more

I love the chill vibe of this place. It's open, bright and airy with great coffee and bread. Their big communal benches call out for you to study, sip slowly and stay a while. As for a place to work, it's not, mainly due to the wifi which is out half the time. I've had the same experience in their Hammersmith/Chiswick location - it will be down for hours at a time despite them frequently restarting the router. It's a shame as I am a freelancer, but I don't expect all coffee shops to cater to the Macbook-toting crowd. After all, it is about the coffee. When the wifi has held up, the staff don't rush you. They're friendly and welcoming and will chat to you if you're up for it. It also seems to be a family friendly place with lots of mums and buggies. read more

Artisan - Now that is some decent latte (mocha) art. - Coffee & Tea Near Me - London, XGL

Artisan is as friendly and trendy an Aussie café as it is a predictable mecca for Chiswick's middle classes. We counted no less than six shiny Macbooks when we stopped by, with only a couple of brave Thinkpad owners breaking up the Apple assault. Also competing for table space were parents with young children, students and some senior citizens. I'm not really sure if it really deserves the attention though. I mean sure, it has the usual exposed brick walls, wooden tables, chairs and floors, homemade cakes, blackboard menus and free wifi so beloved of the trendy café classes. But the coffee is average at best. The flat white I had seemed watery and unexciting. My girlfriend's mocha was similarly uninspired. Call me a heretic, but the flat white I'd just had across the road at Upsy Daisy Bakery, while flawed, was better. Artisan do sell drip coffees which I'd try if I came back. Still, my Artisan experience was less artisan, more underwhelmed. read more

A-OK. It's kinda like all the other indy-coffee shops in the world now; exposed wood, quasi-rustic, etc. My £3 coffee took 10-15 minutes to arrive which kinda soured the whole thing though and there aren't really any healthy breakfast options. Also, annoying "Theo" West London kids poking at your stuff. At least they take cards, have wifi and they have "Where's Wally" wallpaper downstairs! Oh the staff are really friendly though and really rather patient - the person in front of me in the queue was extremely fussy and pretty much insisted on customising every part of their order; who knew that an almond croissant needed such hubbub.. read more

Came here for a latte and a pastry. Lots of seating inside, clean interior. I worked on my zine, however, it felt like an Easter Egg hunt for an outlet but managed to work on 20% Customer service was good and the prices were comparible to other coffee shops. read more

A great little coffee shop on my road to work. I'm going to go ahead and assume that the pastries and food are as good as the lattes and give 5 stars to Artisan (I'll be sure to update if that's not the case ;)). Artisan makes a great soya latte and is a really cute location. It's clear they care about presentation and the details as much as they care about serving a great cup of coffee. I can't wait to spend a Saturday lounging by the window with a croissant and the newspaper! read more

Cute little cafe, good service, good coffee and a nice selection of baked goods. Nice window seats for people watching. read more

Nice set of unique products and nice relaxed environment. Been there a couple of times and always busy (but fast). Different sandwiches all the time! Coffee is of course very good. read more

Artisan is my favorite coffee house in London. When we first moved to Chiswick, I passed by it several times on a bus and, no matter the time of day, it was always busy. That is usually a good sign, and this time was no different. Their lattes and other espresso drinks are outstanding. The espresso is smooth, roasted dark but not too much. In the summertime, they do a great iced latte as well. My wife loves their chai tea lattes, and their loose leaf teas are great as well. It's almost always full to the point you can just find a table, so it's a great place to hang out and people watch. We take our kids, as do many others, and they always have a baby-cino as well. I highly recommend you check it out. read more

I love this coffee house! Not being a coffee drinker this might be strange but they have more than just coffee. Living in the area I go quite often with my laptop or book and just enjoy being out of the house and surrounded by people. Delicious sandwiches and cake, amazing hot chocolate and a relaxing vibe made me a big fan. They also have a water tap where you can just grab a glass and have a drink of water. A perfect place to go if you want to get out of the house, be by yourself, yet close to people. Do like me and bring a laptop or book and enjoy your time. You will definitely not be the only one as many people go there and work on their laptops or read a book while enjoying coffee. Music in the background, huge windows (particularly nice on a sunny day) and there will always be people inside enjoying their time read more

I love the coffee from here. A flat white comes out as a flat white white should, the almond croissants are incredible and the toasted sandwiches are excellent too. And the wheel of fortune game after your tenth free coffee is genius. read more

Went to Artisan this morning and really enjoyed it. Good iced coffee and muffin and the ambiance is great. I especially liked the exposed copper pipes along the ceiling and brick wall. I will definitely be back! My only wish...that they had flavoured syrup but you might expect that coming from an American! The barista didn't seem too horrified when I asked! read more

Really like this coffee spot. Highly quality drinks, good sweets and comfortable place to meet up or work for a bit with free wifi!

If you had the pleasure of experiencing Aussie / Melbourne-ian style coffee, it now can be found in London. Stop by Artisan, an Australian coffee shop, and you'll see what I'm talking about. AMAZING... I've lived in Italy and experienced some good coffee but this is hands down THE BEST! read more

Absolutely amazing coffee and yummy baked goods. Staff are really friendly and helpful too!

I absolutely love this place. It was perfect for studying and their pistachio rose cake is simply delectable. 10/10 would recommend Artisan

Delicious coffee, tasty food. A bit precious about their coffee (during the summer they kept telling me to drink cold drip coffee black... yes, I know the flavours are more subtle when cold brewed, but trust me when I say I want my morning coffee with milk!) Otherwise great, and benefits from plenty of seats and free wifi. read more
