Tiny shop on Berwick Street. A almost hipsterish corner in Soho, but don't let that out you off. The coffee is pretty awesome even if the decor looks a bit distressed and shabby. Doesn't get 5 stars as the don't take credit cards or have wifi; but then I guess the point isn't to linger read more

As should be expected, the flat white is very good. The espresso has beautiful crema and not even the slightest hint of burnt bitterness. Why three stars then? It's a coffee shop, right? Yeah, at some point, I would like the urban America-style coffeehouse to come to London--big comfy living room furniture ala Central Perk from that American show, Friends. For now I'm left dealing with the hard wooden benches of the Aussie shops, like Flat White. I guess I'll just continue to takeaway their very good coffee. read more

I was wondering what the Flat white is, I tasted, I loved! So creamy, and smooth. Obviously light in coffee. I liked to taste that with their "Amaze Balls - 50p", a chocolate ball. Yummy. The staff remain super nice, even they seamed to be busy. I waited quite a long time before I got my drink but was fine, I wasn't in a rush. The joint is a bit small, but it is not difficult to get a seat. read more

Come here for a flat white, as the name suggests. You won't be disappointed. It's a simple enough concept, and I like it when places are simple. There's too many places trying to spice it up and jazz things up these days. read more

Flat white is a great little place in the middle of Soho. Unfortunately, they make a slightly "English cappuccino" (i.e. far too much espresso), but still I respect any cafe who has the basic skills of coffee making. As we arrived a bit late in the afternoon, there wasn't much to eat, apparently. read more

It's one of the many good coffee shops in London. However, when I'm in the area, I prefer Foxcroft & Ginger just down Berwick Street (http://www.qype.co.uk/place/1198040-Foxcroft-and-Ginger-London ). It's lighter. That's important, when you enjoy reading a good book. But still, Flat White is definitely worth a visit! read more

Sister of Milk Bar a few blocks away, they're similar in quality and size - in that it can get crowded quickly and you spend a lot of time trying to jostle for a table for those creatives who can waste a full day in a cafe with their laptop. Like Milk Bar, they serve a small selection of hot food (if you can get a table), but take away is always a better bet with this place. read more

Such good coffee...even after a week in Paris. I am a picky coffee drinker, even I was impressed. Thank you, flat white, please come to the States. read more

Another fantastic addition to the list o lattes, this cozy cafe in charming Berwick St. brings a bit of antipodean culture to Soho. Skilled baristas turn out lovely lattes and other exotic espresso drinks (my latte was plenty strong so I didn't try the Flat White, but it's definitely on the list), to be accompanied by yummy sandwiches and scrumptious pastries. They serve plain ol' brewed coffee, too, and my pal pronounced her cuppa decaf "the best I've ever had." Service is warm and attentive. Yes, it's cramped, but the tasty offerings made it worth getting friendly with the neighbors. This is going to be my regular latte stop when in London. read more

The care given to soya milk coffees is lacking these days. I ordered a flat white last weekend and my partner ordered a latte, and what came out were two sort of lattes (with froth) in layers of curdled soy milk. Flat White used to be one of my top spots in London and, to be fair, the coffee itself was still okay (just not the preparation). I might still consider it if I wanted an espresso on its own. Lovers of Bonsoy coffee should look elsewhere. read more

Amazing coffee. If your a kiwi and you appreciate the flat white then this is a must. It's tucked away and it's cramped but it is London. You need to lock it in. read more

The closest you can get to a real flat white coffee. Cute, small shop in the heart of Soho.

Aussie coffee shop, but don't let that put you off too much, it's actually very good. My £2.50 latte was delicious, but a bit on the small size, so 4 stars. read more

This is a cute little Soho café and their lattes certainly have a bite (even the weak ones) but the food was far less impressive. We all opted for the tuna melt, which I thought would be great in here if the coffee was anything to go by, but it was actually a bit odd! It came as an open sandwich with a scraping of tuna, a tiny bit of cheese, capers and rocket, so not really anything like a normal tuna melt. Although I absolutely love rocket either in a sandwich, on a pizza or in a salad - and can deal with capers, I wasn't expecting it on my tuna melt! This was an overcomplicated sandwich that wasn't made any better by being fancy. It was a sandwich that had tried too hard. Great coffee here, which is why I'm giving it 4 stars, but they need to sort the tuna melt out or get a new menu! read more

With a name like Flat White, I had to order their signature beverage. The foam design was beautiful: a precise flower painted against a rich shade of brown. I enjoyed the contrast of the creamy milk to the tart espresso, but I felt that the coffee could have been stronger. Friendly staff and a clean, stylish interior. read more

Flat White used to be brilliantuntil the refurb! What ON EARTH were they thinking. The coffee is good but I think a little TOO strong (can't believe I'm saying this). The cup cakes are great and the sandwiches used to be good too. read more

Pretty good, but didn't move the world for me. Coffee is really quite good, but a bit on the small size. A lot of effort goes into the decorative aspect and making a pretty fern in the milk. Which is nice, but not really my bag. But it does ooze a fair amount of charm, especially on a cold winter afternoon, so 4 stars. read more

What a great place! Very small, but great coffee and the toasted banana bread was to die for!

You'd think that in Soho, brimming with coffee shops and cafes, finding a decent Latte (or espresso or macciato) wouldn't be too hard - you'd be wrong. We until Flat White opened shop that is. This New Zealand coffee shop is home to the best coffee north of the river (Monmouth in Borough owns that accolade down 'Sarf). If you don't know what a Flat White is (like a Latte, but more coffee, less milk) then you don't know what your missing. Great flavour (they use Monmouth beans) and perfect creamy milk - Flat White get their erm, Flat White's, perfect everytime. Not too steeply priced for Soho, especially when you consider the quality you're getting. Friendly staff, and good music. Pity about the location, and the smallness of the place - but when the coffee is this good, you can't have it all!! Oh and check out their 'sister shop' Milk Bar on Bateman St. read more

awesome flat white and long black. Flat white is a perfect place for coffee in London. Will become one of their regular customer from now on. read more

Made me want to write review for the first time on yelp! The place is not huge and a bit hidden, but it's cozy which i felt very nice about. One of the stars definitively goes to good music, another for good coffee & cakes, and very friendly staffs as well. Last time i went there was no outside seats. The lighting was okay enough to read inside. read more

A very cute little cafe, with cheap food; it's a perfect place to go for a sit-down lunchbreak.

Best coffee's in London!

I fell for the hype and headed out to Soho for a cup of flat white. Eek! Terribly noisy, dreadful service, sticky wet icky floors and tables and benches that were questionable as to their cleaniless. Head to Double Shot instead. read more

Huge talk about this place and being foodies, coffee lovers and kiwis we had to check it out. Boy, what was the hype about. Both of us couldn't finish the food and felt a bit ill after the eggs benedict / avocado on toast. The flat white coffees, milk was a bit bubbly and the coffee was just par. Better than some, average as most. Wouldn't go back again. Maybe just an off day. If you feel like gd coffee and food kiwi style my fav is still Providores in Marylebone high st. Ps .. Aren't eat in food shops all supposed to have bathrooms to use. We got told there was a public restroom down the road somewhere ... Awesome, not. Especially when the food starts making you feel queasy. read more

This place is tiny, but I spent three days drinking coffee at nearly every cafe I passed in London, and the flat white from Flat White was by far the best I found. It was so good that after having one in the cafe, I got one to go. I sometimes dream of this coffee. read more

The only reason I am giving this place four stars is because the coffee is fantastic. Service-wise, we were ignored and only got acknowledged after one of the barista's mates showed up and had to wait behind us. Despite other reviewers not wanting a fake smile from cafe staff, I'd prefer any semblance of a smile and a greeting this is standard customer service which is sadly lacking at Flat White. The takeaway flat-white was also the smallest I have ever had I grew up in NZ and have visited Australia and have never been given a flat-white that small. Best coffee I've had in London, however I think I'll be sticking to Sacred Cafe around the corner the coffee is nearly as good, the service is great and the place is a lot nicer to sit in (plus there is a loo!). read more

Had to try the flat white here. Milk was frothed perfectly and the coffee was distinct yet smooth and flavoursome. Nice Latte art too.

It's a tiny little place, as are most great places in Soho.

very cosy with good coffee full of flavour served with a friendly smile. Well worth a visit as seen on the top ten coffee bars map in London to visit. We should have this map in every city in the uk. read more

The place is always really packed with various people, which for me is very interesitng. I enjoy exploring different types of people and their gestures and all. The coffee is good. read more

This is one of the best independent coffee shops in London! Well worth the trip. Can get quite full so not always easy to get a comfy seat! Really cool vibe in the evenings too. read more

pretty good coffee, but i don't get it. the hubby and i had to look up "flat white" on wikipedia to see exactly how it differed from a cappuccino or a latte. apparently, the foam is "microfoam" as opposed to the "dry foam" of a cappuccino, and the temperature is lower as well so as to not scald the milk. who knew. read more

Great place. With the name of Flat White, they better have an amazing flat white...and they do!!

Enjoyed the place very much the other day. Back in 2006 which is when I first visited here, the place was quite different. Busy, packed with Kiwis, wearing hoodies asking eachother 'how long since they arrived' It was a different scene when I visited the other Sunday. Still a bunch of Kiwis around, but the atmosphere is more sophisticated, a bit darker, cooler and the operation a bit more switched on. Aesthetically, its somewhere between retro chic and twee think faux wood panelling on their coffee machines [La Marzoccos I think], cool vintage filament bulbs adding atmosphere. UPDATE no more La Marzocco, now with Seattle's Synesso machines. The flatwhites were excellent. Arrived at the table with the emulsified sheen you get when you know you've blended the milk well and with well executed latte art. Slightly let down by average service, but given it was a full-on day for the staff, I hereby forgive them [i know, I'm so kind]. Also, its a busy place, its not somewhere you can laze on one coffee for ages, or feel totally relaxed, instead you'll have to soak up the buzz of caffeinated London! If you need to go to the loo, you won't be in luck. This place is looless. The food menu looks great and well priced I'm looking forward to returning to sample it. read more

Excellent coffees made in the New Zealand style. Staff (all Kiwis) are very friendly and the short-black is fantastic. It does get very busy though so you will wait a long time and there isn't much in the way of seating. Prices are also pretty high (£1.80 for espresso/short black) but you won't find better quality. read more

I worked as a barista in New Zealand and became a real coffee snob and addict. After moving to the UK I went from a 20 cup a day habit to nil by mouth as I simply could not find a decent coffee. Flat white is consistently fantastic, never burnt never bitter. A true saviour for those who like their coffee to taste like coffee. If it's packed hold tight, seats usually become available fairly quickly - it's worth it. And did I mention how far that friendly staff vibe goes? read more

Excellent coffee and friendly service! Not much more you could want, really. Flat White is about 3 mins walk from my office and I now tend to pop in most afternoons to get my caffeine fix. They are always friendly and have a chat. Definitely recommend checking it out! read more

Great coffee and great service. A little too cosy inside during peak hours but well worth a visit.

Excellent coffee. Flat White is the only place to have coffee in London other than Monmouth coffee.
