    This is a great place to go for a different coffee experience, you can have your coffee brewed many ways using different techniques and they will explain how it all works and why. They are very very passionate about coffee and tea and have a good selection of cakes to make their excellent brews. Really friendly helpful people , highly recommend you give it a try!

    Flat White with single origin beans - perfectly prepared

    Coffee prepared perfectly. I had the Flat White with single origin beans from Nicaragua. The Flat White was perfectly prepared with nice coffee art to boot. Coffee Island also had a great vibe - very comfortable place to hangout. I also saw coffee beans for purchase. Great place. I'll definitely be back.

    Coffee Island is a big coffee shop near the Seven Dials. Free WiFi, two floors of seating, and good coffee. They have tables of varying sizes so you can come by yourself or in a group. Usually quiet on the week days but pretty busy on the weekends! They sell a variety of coffee beans from Greece and their in house coffee has yet to disappoint me. Coffee Island is a place I can count on for finding a seat and enjoying a cup of coffee.

    Back in London and thought I would check out a couple coffee spots This one is I guess is considered in Covent Garden. As a full fledge coffee nerd/snob I am looking for great coffee nothing more. Also if they don't roast their own beans and they are just serving someone else's coffee they will never get above a 3 star from me. I am looking strictly at the coffee and the customer service in my reviews. Its exciting to be back in London where you can find speciality coffee shops doing it all and then some. I was greeted by a friendly young women who drew out of me what I was looking for. I decided to try their Single Origin Espresso they had on offer that day. The notes were told to me to be sweet, Chocolate and tobacco. It did have sweetness, very subtle hint of dark bitter chocolate but the tobacco was a bit overwhelming, not to my liking. Also it lacked brightness. The shop itself is well laid out, they roast there own which is offered in self serve bins with a good description provided of each coffee. I wish I would have tried their house espresso instead but based on the single origin I can't give them 5 stars, I may go back try the house Espresso see if I can up it to 5. Definitely worth a stop.

    Good coffee spot. I had a batch brew which was done properly and fairly priced.

    This was genuinely the best coffee I've ever had (the spice latte with almond milk). Smoothe, flavoured to perfection and delicious.

    We just stumbled across this place by accident one evening and wondered if it was even open to the…read morepublic. We returned a week later during business hours, and sure enough, the coffee roasters were turning, and the aroma was intoxicating. It's a tiny shop with barely enough room for a couple of customers, but the proprietor has about 8 beans or blends on offer, cash sales only. The floor is covered with giant burlap sacks of coffee, and even more interestingly, the roasting and grinding machines are from a bygone era. As noted by the previous poster, the proprietor/owner has had the shop for 32 years, but the shop has been around much longer, as his uncle owned it before him. The coffee roasting machines date from 1925. Walking into this shop is like visiting a museum of London past. He was happy to chat a bit and asked us what kind of coffee we liked and how we prepared it. A few minutes later he handed over a 250g bag of ground Brazillian Santos with a dark espresso roast for about £3.80. Later, when we continued on through Camden to do some shopping, we were amazed at how the intense smell of the coffee was emanating out of my bag, even though he had taped up the paper package inside a plastic bag. Those freshly roasted and ground beans were almost overpowering, really. We had a cup when we got home and it was really delicious. We've been enjoying it all week. This place is a real gem! We'll definitely be regulars.

    I had to come to Yelp to review this place, like other posters before me, because this place is a…read morenational treasure. My sweetie and I are big fans of single-origin coffee, which makes us a minority in London, but we stumbled across another coffee shop in Camden that referred us to this place, and we are so happy to have found it! It's a tiny, one-employee shop but this guy really knows his stuff. While we were there, he was roasting coffee in the (now antique) cylinder roaster that another Yelper has posted a photo of. During our conversation, he jumped up and came around the counter and squeezed past us to halt the roasting process. He knew, simply by the smell and sound and his sense of how long it had been roasting, when the beans were done! The scales and other equipment in the shop are not high-tech but they're sturdy and gets the job done; quite fun to observe. We had come in search of raw beans that we could take home and roast ourselves, and although he typically doesn't sell them green, he sold some to us and gave us instructions on how to store them properly as well. We took them home and have been roasting small batches at a time and enjoying them very much! I look forward to visiting his shop again next time we're in London. If you enjoy making quality coffee at home, this guy knows his stuff. Note that some of the reviews seem to be describing a cafe that serves coffee and pastries; this shop only sells beans but they don't have space for tables to serve coffee or food. They might be referring to the similarly named "Camden Coffee House" which is close by.

    Date of Visit: 02.10.09 "Pure Treasure - Great Chef with…read moregreat passion" Review: You first enter and feel that it is both casual and reasonably lively and Family friendly. I know Mill Hill and this is not my usual spot for breakfast or lunch so I was intrigued by Mill & Brew. The head chef was previously trained by Jamie Oliver and his passion for food and caring about the ingredients really shines through. Quick tip to the owner "don't let this one go". A great menu catering for all including a good vegetarian and vegan options with lots to select but my only criticism on the menu is that the Breakfast and Lunch menus are very similar and only a couple of new dishes added for lunch. Also although there are cakes and other dessert items no specific in house desserts and I would love to see this moving forward. All portion sizes are large so feel free to order more single dishes and share so you can get a chance to really sample the fantastic menu selection. I will be going again and would highly recommend this establishment to all. Parking: Ample station parking and also street metered parking also which although is limited to 1.5hours at around £2 you can go back and get another ticket. Decor & Lighting: A rustic cafe feel but really well done so you just feel comfortable at a light casual place to meet for a coffee or a full meal. Heating and Cooling: Noted they have AC and during our time the AC was off but temperature was perfect, not hot or cold. Ambience & Acoustics: A great feel but acoustics wise there were a few people around and it did sometimes get hard to have a conversation but being hard walls and high ceilings this would be an acoustic issue anyway. Service: Excellent service by all members of staff as each would come and ask if all was ok so very attentive. DB Level: 77.3 dB We had the following: Coconut crush - My friend had this and suffice to say it must have been to her taste as nothing was left. Berry burst - Textured and fresh and I am no fan of blueberry but loved this combination. I would recommend this for all to try. Beetroot smash (Poached beetroot smashed with organic yoghurt, topped with pomegranate, crushed walnuts & pistachios finished with fresh apple on sourdough) - A take on the usual avocado on toast but using an english ingredient. The bread is crispy with the beetroot both light and sweet. All very well presented and I for one not being a fan of beetroot was a bit worried about this one but I was pleasantly surprised and I am glad we had selected this from the menu and is a must to try. English breakfast (Two fried eggs, smoked streaky bacon, award-winning sausage, homemade baked beans, a baked tomato, Portobello mushroom, potato & onion rosti and toast) - Again a well presented dish. All the ingredients used and specially selected. The beans being fresh and not the canned variety with a great light taste. You also get a little salad with light fresh dressing. Along with the best crispy bacon I have had which was really crunchy. The award winning sausage had a light spice and perfectly cooked and not too meaty. The tomatoes and mushrooms along with the perfect egg and the most amazing hash brown all work in perfect balance. M&B banana pancakes (Triple-stacked fluffy pancakes! Choose between our classic smoked bacon and maple syrup or our caramelised bananas with sweetened cream cheese & toasted hazelnuts) - Sweet and fluffy but be aware this is a large portion which we shared and still could not finish the entire dish. Real care and attention taken to the dish which would not go a miss in most fine dining establishments. Albeit they would probably charge more and give a much smaller portion. Halloumi rings - A nice touch and variation on onion rings. A nice light and crispy batter and works well as a side dish also served with a home made dip which works well. Fries/Chips (Hand cut, twice cooked, crispy chips) - Great chunky chips which are rustic with the skin left on. Again served with a great home made dip. A treat for all. Chicken Schnitzel Burger (Free range crispy chicken breast fillet in a brioche bun with baby gem lettuce, homemade coleslaw & mature cheddar cheese, topped with siracha mayo) - A nice homely made item, crispy, crunchy and nice taste to the batter coating. Really fresh and worth every penny. Conclusion: The slight issue we found is that the Wi-Fi needs improvement as there is poor signal and no real cover. But food wise and atmosphere wise there was no complaints at all other than wanting maybe more items for Lunch and having their own home made dessert menu. All the food is fresh and all ingredients sourced with care and attention. I would be happy to have the same food in the top city hotel and I do think this chef is going places so why not try out where he started his own vision before you have to pay more for the privilege in years to come. Great food and good value.
