A quaint coffee shop in a lovely area, it appeared to have more locals than tourists. The baristas were very friendly and had good service. The baked goods served were creative and fresh. I was served a brilliant cappuccino. Would definitely go back. read more

Terrific breakfast and the owner and staff were wonderful. The coffee was great and the freshly squeezed juice was phenomenal.

A true find for us two coffee lovers stranded in the coffee desert that seemed to be London. This was one of the best lattes I've EVER had. We also snagged a delicious protein ball. I love that they have a "no computers" policy. This place is laid back, homey ... and truly a first class coffee experience. It's a super easy walk from the London Eye. We happened upon a full market of street food right outside the door, too. Just look up Lower Marsh Market. Get here, it's awesome. read more

Good food, service could use a bit of work. We ended our London weekend by going to the Four Corners before heading to the London Eye. Based from all the pictures and reviews we thought it would be a nice place to get some breakfast. When we got there we were confused about the menu as they only show the drinks, but not the food. We were told you order "basically what you see" which isn't very helpful considering there's some things hidden away from our sight like all the condiments that weren't told to us. You pretty much have to know the menu from another person to fully understand what they have. I just went with a plain toasted bagel and a macchiato while my friend got a toasted bagel with avocado and some iced tea. The person making our food was really friendly, but I'm not a fan of avocado and some of the avocado from my friend's bagel was spread onto my bagel which I wasn't too eager about. The macchiato was what I had expected and tasted like other macchiatos I've had in Europe so that didn't surprise me too much. If they made ordering food as easy as they do for drinks, it would make going here a more enjoyable experience. read more

I found this place on yelp when I was looking for a good coffee place close to Waterloo station. It is a dainty coffee shop and not one which is easily spotted on the high street (if even on the high street). As it is small, there isn't a lot of sitting area. As you walk in, you will see that they have about 3 tables capable of sitting 4-6 people and two little tables to only sit two. On the right hand side, there are two round tables with metal stools which I have to say I found rather uncomfortable ;( There are pictures on the wall of what I would have guessed to be customers who have been travelling and it states where that picture was taken e.g. Singapore, San Francisco etc.. I liked that as it creates an even more cozy atmosphere. I ordered a black coffee and the guy told me to sit down, he would serve it when it's ready. One sip of the coffee and I then believed why it's an award winning coffee shop. I sipped through my coffee quickly without realising... Waiting for a friend has never been so rewarding! Another order of a latte for my friend and cappuccino for me. Our chat was even more interesting with this coffee. When I say that the cappuccino is the best I've ever tasted, you won't believe it! I had one sip and got hooked. I took my time so it won't finish but how I wanted another! 3 cups of coffee would not be smart to have in an hour though! I am craving to go back already and I'm glad to know that I now have a spot when in Waterloo waiting for a train or person. Tip: try this place, you will not regret it! read more

Achingly hip, but none the worse for it- a fantastic range of ( well made) coffees, very professional and efficient staff. Cakes and sandwiches look good, although I haven't sampled them. Highly recommended. read more

We needed coffee to start off our (late) morning, so we looked for places nearby. We turned onto the street and saw a sign that said "voted UK's best coffee" and it just so happened to be one of the coffeeshops we found on Yelp. I got an iced latte and it was DELICIOUS. It was smooth and creamy with the perfect strength of the coffee coming through. The cup was the perfect size to get my morning going (smaller than what I'm used to from the US, but that's not surprising). I added a tiny bit of sugar but really the latte was great either way! Also loved the little signs saying no computers / wifi to take a break from work. Way to promote a healthy life balance! :) read more

Great coffee in a relaxed atmosphere. I struggle to give coffee shops *5 due to the vast array of excellent coffee places there are in London these days. I've been coming here for a while and the service is always given with a smile and although small the shop does offer a nice chilled area to seat and waste the day away. Haven't found a better coffee in the cut so far. read more

I randomly stopped by for a coffee and I had an Espresso on Ice but it was quite acidic. I like strong bitter coffee but this seemed a little bit off. read more

Four stars for the amiable staff and the very tasty spinach and lentil dal. For £3.5 a bowl for takeaway a bit much though and also dinking a star for not providing bread free with the soup. I mean, c'mon guys! Also got a few of the mini brownie and gingerbread bites and they were so good: dense chocolate in a small bite for the former and a strong cinnamon flavour in the latter. read more

Nice coffee, nice buzzing space in inside though I sat outside on bench watching on Lower marsh street. Want to come back to test out their cakes but I liked the vibe on this quiet stretch. Opposite one of my other favourite cafes too but more Than happy to come here also. read more

Four Corners Cafe scores five stars from me for two reasons: excellent value Ozone drip coffee at £3, and a really friendly owner who was happy to talk to me for a short while about the growing coffee scene in London and the entrepreneurial experience generally which I appreciated. The drip coffee was everything I like: subtle, complex, interesting. But with something very unusual for drip: good value. Usually filter coffee (whether Aeropress or V60) starts at £4 and goes up, so finding it here for just £3 is fantastic. Even better was that they happily filled up my coffee flask as I needed to head back, with the result that I ended up with a rather more generous coffee than if I had drunk in. Bonus! For his part, Gary the owner combines several admirable traits: impressive knowledge about the coffee scene in London, humility (let's face it, there is a lot of snobbery in coffee - not here) and as a Brit, a lot of self-awareness about how far and fast Brits' appreciation for coffee has changed. Four Corners also sell pastries and and sandwiches, one of the latter which I contentedly chewed on my journey home. What a find this place is. read more

Fantastic coffee, wonderfully quirky and loved the vibe. Highlights include a tabletop made of Lego and neon indoor signage. I had a perfect, reasonably priced flat white. Look out for the pretty mint exterior. Will definitely be back. read more

Without doubt the best coffee shop I tried, and it was recommended by a local. The simple and green front-door is great, predict to potentially find a great place. Inside it is the opposite, full of colors, stuff placed everywhere, and we understand that the owner may love travelling and browsing the world. The main table immediately attracted my attention, made with Lego, well done. But not only, the cake seemed to be so good, I tried the Banana cake. Not a must-try, stay on the classic Carrot Cake. The velvet cake seemed to be great too. The cappuccino here, is my favorite, the best I tried during my food trip in London. they also have an impressive choice of tea. The staff is really nice, friendly and available. Another neighborhood I liked, and I felt more relax here read more

Cute little coffee place right outside the famous Banksy tunnel! Had an Americano and a berry crumble for a quick breakfast, and was duly pleased. There was a bit of an on-my-way-to-work queue at 8:30am, but seating was plenty. Would recommend! read more

Serious coffee without being pretentious or lecturing you about it 5/5, friendly service 5/5, great atmosphere - felt like I was in a friends house :) 5/5 highly, highly recommend! read more

Not entirely certain why you'd stop anywhere else in the corridor. Supremely confidents coffees, bit of pastry, all done up in a laidback, yet competent manner. You might not get a seat at first, but that is just a proxy for demand, now isn't it? Just the sort of place you wished you lived around the corner from. read more

The coffee was decent, but croissant was the worst i've had. It tasted much like bread, was not flaky at all.

Decided to stop by this cafe after all the reviews I saw on yelp. It's very hard to find and no one really knows where it is but it was worth the search. We had an americano, chai, soup and a sandwich and it was delicious. It was worth the search. read more

Four Corners is a great place - it has a lovely relaxed atmosphere, and I personally think of it as the best coffee I've had in London. I come often, and it's consistently excellent. A couple of members of staff can be pretty standoffish, but the owners know their stuff and 9 times out of 10 it's a welcoming place. The wifi is reliable and the decor is light and airy and comfortable. Definitely worth a visit. read more

This cafe is a great catch-all spot just a few blocks away from the chains and mediocre cafes around Waterloo station. No laptops from 12-2, but outside of that it's a fantastic place to work with a big communal table and smaller individual spots along the wall or window. Free wifi and lots of light. It's also great for a quick meeting, solo lunch or a chat with a friend. Music is fun and a bit loud, but adds to the young and relaxed vibe. Sandwiches are good but the cakes and coffee are where the cafe shines - best red velvet cake I've had in the city. There are also seats outside for when the sun is out. Service is friendly and there is a lunchtime market on the street outside, so makes for a nice atmosphere. read more

Lovely little café with interesting drinks and snacks/meals (I tried olive leaf tea - delicious!), and cute multi-coloured teapot sets. A little pricier than other cafes in the surrounding area, but well worth the little extra for the quality. read more

Arguably best coffee in London. Great atmosphere with a clever theme. Friendly staff. Food is pretty nice too (red velvet cake is awesome). Not the most comfortable seating but that's a minor issue. Well worth the visit. read more

Chill vibe and my hot chocolate was one of the better hot chocolates of my life. Not too sweet but not too not sweet. If you're in the area this is a safe bet. Don't forget to check in on yelp while you are here because you'll get a keychain and that's kinda fun?? read more

Came in a bit later than I was hoping for and there were no more bagels or much breakfast left did still manage to enjoy some Nutella on multigrain toast and a yummy iced coffee. Only turn off was staff friendliness immediately went down two notches upon realizing I was American which was a bit upsetting. But hey, still enjoyed and prices were good read more

Good coffee and a nice, cozy atmosphere to start your day.

Come try their salty and probably canned carrot soup, you'll be very disappointed. Tried the fig tart and didn't like the sogginess or lack of flavour? Don't bother complaining nothing will happen! Would give it no stars but that's not an option... read more

Great coffee ( and don't forget the cakes) shop. Great selection of teas - especially if like me you like a big pot of hot water with loose tea flowers and the novelty of a little strainer. Great window seats to watch the world go by in the market. And very importantly for me the best nice cafe in Lower Marsh for getting more than one pram into. It's my go to place for coffe catch ups with mums. read more

Friendly staff, excellent coffee and good location. Worth the walk from waterloo station every time i am here

Great coffe, great tea, great place. Loved it. It's pretty cheap, which is not common in london, and its just plain great. A lovey place.

Dropped in for lunch. They have quick cheap sandwiches which they heat up. I tried three of the four types they had. The chorizo one was the most tasty, followed by the mozzarella one, then the chicken one. Nice place that was pleasant to eat in. read more

Four Corners is great. Amongst the best coffee I've had in London, excellent food, and a good atmosphere with friendly staff. What more can you ask for? Perhaps a lego-topped table - but they've got that as well. read more

Four corners was the first cafe I discovered along the lower marsh. Filled with very cool merchandise and tasty coffee, this is a great place to chill, read a book and just while time away while the world spins madly on. Also they have a loyalty card, and EVERYONE loves loyalty cards! read more

The only downfall of this cafe is its a little too small. I wish this place was bigger. I e been here twice now for business meetings and its a great place for coffee. I got the chai latte with a shot of coffee. Yum yum yum! I love their merchandise you can buy and the servers are all really lovely. Just wish it was a little bigger so I didn't always have to sit on a stool. read more
