I had the Easter Special: hot cross bun, fried egg, pancetta, and herbs. It was delicious! I also ordered the citrus pressé (it was very tarte). Too tarte for me. When I requested more sugar, the barista gracious enough to make a simple syrup. It did not help, but I appreciated the effort. Overall, the food was delicious. Whenever I am back in London, I would definitely come back. Also, the Old Stumpy was highly recommended by my boyfriend. read more

Mmmmm coffee! A delightful flat white and the cafe itself is lovely. Relaxed and just the right amount of hipster, a gem in this area. Breakfast menu looks mighty tempting too. A great stop on your way to the museums nearby. read more

Fernandez & Wells - Coffee & Tea Near Me - London, XGL

This is probably one of my favorite coffee shops in London and here's why... this was where I tried my first flat white. They do a phenomenal job with the coffee. While I'm not quite the coffee connoisseur, I've been here with friends who are and they've enjoyed it too. Their cappuccino and macchiato was on point as well! read more

Fernandez & Wells - Coffee & Tea Near Me - London, XGL

I came here to grab a coffee and a quick bite before heading to the Royal Albert Hall to watch the National Brass Band competition. (The things I do for my husband...) It was early. It was a Saturday. And I needed coffee. Luckily Fernandez & Wells was there to save the day. I went in and ordered a filter coffee and an almond croissant. It was about 9:30 on a Saturday I think. Now unfortunately, they were a bit disorganized. There was apparently no money in the till. A bit weird. So I had to wait a bit to pay and get my change (all I had was a twenty). Also the filter coffee wasn't ready yet, so they apologized and offered me an Americano instead. I went for a cappuccino. It was a bit unfortunately they didn't have the filter, it's my favorite way to drink coffee. That being said, the coffee was quite tasty and the almond croissant was heavenly (and it definitely made me decide that cro-nuts are just plain silly, and the hybrid is not as good as the originals). The food they were cooking when I arrived smelled amazing as well. So if I'm ever in South Ken in the morning and want a bite or a coffee, I'll be heading here instead of the terrible chains that float around. Unfortunately, I'm not too sure when that will be... read more

I avoided the coffee this time and instead in the sweltering London heatwave (32 C in my office), I dived straight into their enticing bowl of ICE COLD GAZPACHO SOUP Forget hot weather being an excuse for adults to eat Magnums and Mini-Milks. If you really want to cool down with something delicious and refreshing then a bowl of the icy Spanish soup is what you need. De-lic-ee-uos But nearly £5 with only 3 little slices of sourdough? ::::cough-cough::::mark-up:::: read more

Normally F&W are pretty good, unfortunately this one wasn't the best. Service wasn't quite on point, but maybe the guy was new?? They didn't have what we wanted on the menu so we settled for a meat/cheese platter and some patatas. The bread on the platter was thinly sliced but doughy, don't think it was baked through. The first round of Italian red by the glass was a little fizzy... Maybe old? Felt bad to complain but the second round we got was ok.. We stayed for the location though. Good spot for chilling and people watching in the square. read more

Fernandez & Wells - Coffee & Tea Near Me - London, XGL

I'll admit I got overly excited about the prospect of a decent coffee shop in SK, and 4* is more appropriate given the prices; however, I still come in a couple of times a week for coffee. There have been some really decent filter coffees on recently (although they are quite expensive, considering they're not brewed on the spot), and the staff are friendly as ever. read more

Stopped here for a quick bite after a visit to the V & A. We went to sit in the inner dining room - as the outside one was completely occupied - but tables hadn't been cleaned and the floor too was quite a mess. This was quite early in the evening - about 6pm. But it seemed like the location was understaffed. The cakes looked interesting and they have a huge range of cured meats, but we were in the mood for something piping hot and fried eggs / cheese wasn't enough. So we had some hot coffee and moved on to Daquise. This is a good place for a summer day and we will go back to one of their other locations for drinks and tapas. read more

They make a mean cup of coffee. The service could have been better. They don't have bad service but not the friendly place I have been.

I love Fernandez & Wells (despite having thought it was Ferdinand & Wells for ages), and was really excited when one opened near me. This location is unfortunately a bit slower than their Soho spots, possibly because of the location near the museums, but also because the space isn't as inviting. Cafe Brindisa across the Exhibition Rd is far livelier, but it is both a full restaurant and has a patio. The coffee, and cakes are great for a nice snack during the day, as are the meats and cheeses. It's a great place to catch up with (sophisticated) friends for a glass of wine or excellent Alhambra beer (I go to dump pubs with most of my people). La Dee Dah! read more

Just dropped by after a musuem visit, and i loved the decor and floor to ceiling window. Coffee was ok, a little pricey, but it goes with the location. The staff were super nice. read more

Proper coffee, well prepared, very friendly staff and a good modern hipster aesthetic. read more

Really great little place! Considering its location, the sandwiches are well priced and very delicious! A good selection of cakes too! Good atmosphere but make sure you are here early to get a seat! read more

Fernandez & Wells - Chicken and Parmesan and Chorizo and Pepper! - Coffee & Tea Near Me - London, XGL

Super nice staff! I'm in there all the time because of where I work so it has become far too familiar. Consistently good coffee and this incredible roast pepper and chorizo sandwich that I treat myself to for lunch sometimes. The decor inside is lovely and I use it for low key Photo shoots regularly. read more

We planned our day to come here and enjoy the sandwiches and hams, so expertly sourced but were disappointed to learn the ham had run out and the menu selection here is limited compared to other locations. No matter, chorizo fresco, shakshuka and bread were incredible. Eggs were perfectly fried and full flavour free range. Gorgeous location but we will have to head to another to try the full F and W experience. read more

I've been here twice and the coffee was top notch both times. I would not, however, go for their deli. I know they're going for the rustic look or whatever (and I've seen other places do this too *cough* Shoreditch Grind *cough*), but leaving out baguettes filled with meats and cheeses really isn't hygienic. read more

My friend says the one in soho is much better and every time she comes to this location there are different people working (high turnover). The way they serve wine is they measure it in a measuring cup before pouring it in a glass, which I'm not particularly fond of. The mortadella sandwich was good, but had too much aioli on it. read more

Came in for a latte and a quick bite after touring the V&A and the natural history museum all day. Really yummy, fast, and a great people watching spot. The bread was as good as it's hyped up to be! Sit outside of possible when the weather is nice! read more

First encountered this place when a friend took me into the one in Soho, but since then one appeared in South Kensington where I am often to be found in the summer months. Love the coffee and food; and the vibe is perfect. A lot of love has obviously gone into this and I was there early one morning and saw someone who I think was the owner coming in and checking everything out and chatting to the staff. The seats outside in the paved area of south ken are lovely if you can get one. read more

Snooty, unwelcoming service. Typical of London, but i'd expected better after reading the reviews here. Disappointed.

I was in South Kensington and looking for a good coffee, which is not easy. I was lucky enough to stumble upon Fernandez & Wells. Quality independent coffee for those coffee snobs out there who appreciate the difference. Also great sandwiches and lunchy stuff. Nice seating area inside and out. But this place is all about the coffee - it was top notch! read more

Stupid place. Can't sit outside except against the wall. Haha beyond bizarre. We sat around a table the manager made us all sit side by side with our food on our laps. 4 of us. So ridiculous. Food. Average coffee average. read more

Great place to have coffee and breakfast/snack before hitting the nearby museums (V&A, Science). Croissant was superb.
