Pretty solid kaffeinery in the area! Came here looking for a good flat white and was surprised to see it not only had a list of classic cafe fare but also an extensive list of lighter food options as well. You can choose to eat in or take out and that day I decided to take out a flat white and lemon poppy seed loaf. The flat white was good. Not too strong, not too weak. The lemon poppy seed loaf was delightful though. Had a nice lemon flavor thanks to the candied lemon peels on top and didn't weigh you down like a certain green themed coffee chain's loaf will. Overall, would definitely recommend if you live or are visiting within the area! read more

Love this cute little cafe. It's a couple blocks off the main Oxford Street. Very courteous staff. Excellent coffee. And the breakfast selection s are good as well. I have the crackle head OJ and it was yummy. Thuy ice latte that I had came in a chilled glass. It was a very nice touch. Highly recommend it. read more

We got an awesome Airbnb near this coffee shop so we went there every day before we hit the road to explore the new city. Lattes and little sweet treats are awesome here. In fact, stopping by here is how we started our days when we were exploring this new exciting international city. If you are an American like me who is so used to the terms like supersize and venti, it might come as a shock how little the large size is! However, if you have a little bit of Asian in you like me, you realize that the large that is not too large is large enough:) They serve some citrus and herb-infused water when we were there to hang out which was a nice treat as well. Cozy little place but it can accommodate a good enough crowd. I find it fascinating how little it seems that they care about naming their restaurants or cafes in London! I literally saw the places named Bibimbop, Pho, Noodles, or was it Pasta? and I saw this place called Kaffeine. So, you know that you are in London if they spell out exactly what they serve for the names of their restaurants if those red phone booths are not clear enough signs when you are walking down the street! read more

Absolutely the best oat latte in London nice and strong and super smooth with a perfect finish it's a real piece of art

Since visiting London, this is the best coffee shop I've come across in the area. Latte came out nice and hot, great roast. I've gotten both a latte with soy and oat milk, both creamy! Service and ambiance is phenomenal. read more

if you're picky about pastries and coffee, and you want some really good milky espresso- look no further.

The manager/proprietor/dude-in-the-know was equal parts friendly and business-like. We got through the mini-line without a hitch and took a seat at the window. The flat whites did delight and the banana bread, when heated, was a toasty-warm bit of heaven with melted butter on it. (The plum jam in the vicinity was a nice accompaniment, too!) Efficient, friendly and tidy is Kaffeine. More shops should follow their lead. Word to the wise: they are open on Sunday when others choose to remain closed. read more

Not bad not great. To me the beans they use here taste kind of weird. I wasn't crazy about them. The coffees were small, my sister had to order 2. The froth wasn't frothy enough. I like it more creamy, and this was more like a light fuzz that you find on a beer. Be aware this place is very small and cramped. You will be sitting with strangers at your table. My sister and I were sitting with 3 others that we didn't know. I didn't mind this at all because I like to talk with people, but I know a lot of people have social anxiety over this. Um, What else. I was really excited to try because of the reviews. Not quite understanding them? Maybe they have great pastries, breads & jams. I didn't try any of those. read more

My favourite cafe in London by a mile. Breakfast: Fairly easy to get a seat if you come for breakfast. Banana bread is a MUST TRY at some point. I've been for breakfast twice when they were sneakily giving away samples to tempt customers. Get it toasted, they serve it with a bit of butter, and it is simply divine. Their breakfast croissants are awesome too. Lunch/brunch: It gets packed on weekday lunches. The queue moves fast if you're taking out, but it can be a challenge finding a seat. That being said, one of the most amazing things about kaffeine is that most people seem to take out (I've only ever eaten in) so as long as there's just 1/2 of you, getting a seat shouldn't be a problem. Weekend brunch timings (11/12) are slightly emptier. All their sandwiches are great. They often have interesting combinations and they all work. Likewise, their salad combinations are a safe bet. Coffee: I pretty much just get the latte, and often end up ordering 2. It's well poured, the right amount of creaminess to coffee ratio. I never add sugar to theirs because it's always served right. Solid latte art too (always helps!). They also usually have a few types of beans. One of the nice things is that despite it being largely self-service, when they come around to clear the cups, you can order more coffee from them at that point. They also often suggest trying the other beans on offer, and all have different notes so it's definitely worth doing. Special mentions: Outdoor seating - they have what is essentially a bench outside. Seats 4-5. My preferred spot when it's sunny. On a weekend you can stare at Riding House Cafe just opposite and wonder why on earth they have an hour long waiting list when Kaffeine is so much better. Toilets - Special mention only because I love their soaps and the scents they have the in toilets Cards - If I remember correctly it's a minimum 7 pound charge read more

I am always looking for new coffee places and when researching where to go while in London, Kaffeine consistently came up top on the list. I made it my mission and Kaffeine did not disappoint. It's a small coffee shop but smartly designed and a decent amount of seating.The atmosphere is relaxed and inviting. We lucky enough to grab two seats by the window; perfect for people watching. Kaffeine offers a variety of pastries and sandwiches but we were just there for the coffee. My husband ordered a cappuccino and I ordered a latte. The coffee was fantastic; well made and flavorful. It is clear that Kaffeine takes their coffee seriously. It was the perfect amount for me too. The staff is friendly and knowledgeable about coffee. If you appreciate a good cup of coffee than I suggest paying a visit to Kaffeine. read more

Yelp and my twin sister advised a visit here! On my flat white tour of London on this visit, it was certainly a tasty experience. Small, as a fair warning. Perhaps flat whites are always small? Huge thumbs up for the small glasses of water placed on our table when we sat down. Very refreshing. Slick decor inside, exactly how you'd imagine all this hip coffee shops to look (visible wood and bricks must it appears! :P ) read more

I love their coffee!! I work around the corner and I stop in on my way to work. It gets quite busy at all times of the day, so be prepared to wait. I love their coffee so much that I asked if they did a larger size (they only have one size for a couple of the coffees) they told me that they only do the small size because they do not want to compromise the taste quality of the coffee. Note: seating is limited and the coffee may be a little strong if you are not a regular coffee drinker. read more

I was in the neighborhood looking for a coffee shop where I could sit and get some work done and yelped up Kaffeine. When I got there, I realized that it wasn't what I was expecting.. it was small, busy, and packed with people. As I waited in the queue, I was admiring their pastries and takeaway items, but unfortunately I just had a huge lunch so anything besides coffee wasn't going to go down well... then I thought about it. Yupppppp, I ended up finding some room for dessert. There was a raspberry and custard muffin calling out my name so I got that. And as for coffee, a Flat White. Sat inside for a little while soaking in the ambiance until I decided to mosey on over elsewhere to find a place to work. Last thoughts on Kaffeine -- cool place, good coffee, busy place. read more

I was really excited to check out Kaffeine during my visit in London. As soon as I walked in, I was immediately greeted by a friendly barista and she made sure I knew what I was getting. They use and sell Square Mile beans, and after reading such wonderful reviews, I ordered a Flat White and asked for a pastry recommendation--to which she gave me a quick walk-through of every baked good they offered. Despite her recommendation for one of the muffins, I opted for the toasted banana bread. GET THE TOASTED BANANA BREAD (caps for emphasis, of course). The banana bread was paired perfectly with my coffee and I enjoyed every bit of it; it was a great way to start my morning. They also have mint and lemon water to offer in the pitchers towards the back. There is also seating in the back corner, along the wall, and in front of the shop. I would definitely come back and nab a seat in the front--perfect for people watching and enjoying the weather. read more

Discovered this lovely gem in 2015 and it has been our favorite hang out spot over the weekends. They make good coffee, decent selection of pastries and cakes, and a lovely environment. Its good if you want to bring your laptop here to work and have a good cup of coffee. The place is small but generally good for couples or group of 3 (Max), wouldn't advise bringing a large crowd here. read more

They take their brew seriously here which would be reason enough to make a visit. But the food is also incredible. Their menu changes regularly depending what's fresh and in season. Located just a hop and skip away from Oxford Circus, this is a great shop to make a detour for a caffeine boost and bite. Staff is friendly and they keep their cool even during the busiest times. Be warned, the place can get very crowded - especially around lunch time on a weekday. On cold days when it's busy, you can't even see inside the front glass as it gets all steamed up because of all the people inside -- But I think it's well worth fighting the crowds for a spot. read more

Love this place! It's in my top three coffee houses in the city, and with good reason; they make a mean espresso with their Square Mile beans, and for soya milk they use Bonsoy (which, if you haven't, you must try). Plus I'm always welcomed when I come through the door and at least one person asks me how I'm doing. They also sell a small variety of beans in the shop. read more

I had wanted to go here for some time. Kaffeine by name Caffeine by nature. I expected big things as they had a magazine and big reputation. I walked in the heart of Fitzrovia and spotted it nearby one of my favourite brunch places. It's narrower than I expected and I didn't fancy sitting inside. All a bit tight and too intimate. Not much light at the back seating. I pondered. The servers were very friendly and said they'd bring it to me when I decided. There was only one place I wanted to sit. Outside. The seats looking out by the window inside were good too though again a bit tight best to each other but the outdoor benches are far better. Very Parisian if you go for those. And you should. Coffee good. Nice and strong flat white. Gets a 4/5 if you sit outside on seat of 4 (2 benches) outside. 3/5 for the overall options you get. read more

Just a few minutes' walk off the chaos of Oxford Street is this gem of a coffee shop. We usually order flat whites with either a dark chocolate brownie or banana bread, and all are absolutely scrumptious! The flat whites have been consistently strong and creamy; the brownies fudgy with that wonderful bitter kick of dark chocolate; the banana bread aromatic and moist (get it toasted!). The last time we went we also decided to get a takeaway Moroccan whiskey, and it was pretty much just as good as what we had in Morocco. There's nothing like using fresh mint! An extra bonus is that the staff are very friendly. Some of the coolest coffee shops in London can have staff with the worst customer service, but every time we've stopped by Kaffeine, we've always been treated very well. So if you ever find yourself trapped amongst the suffocating crowds of Oxford Street, turn off and go towards Great Titchfield Street for a relaxing coffee and treat. read more

The coffee- perfection. The customer service, however was also outstanding. I walked into a room full of people with a great atomostphere and was welcomed by a nice smile as I ordered a latte to stay, not being entirely sure what I should get. I had a mini heart attack when I tried to find an empty place to take my seat, but before I could find a free space, a pleasant staff member pointed one out. I took my seat and not even a minute and a half later had my latte delivered to me, with a complimentary glass of mint and lemon water. What a great place, I cant wait to come back and see how well they do other coffee drinks on the menu. read more

Truly great coffee place. They actually know how to make a great coffee, the interior is intimate and really the kind of place you can just sit down and spend a lot of time. The best part of the place is the staff though, who really know how to make you feel welcome and almost part of the place. They have some pastries as well that are quite good to fill your sugar needs while you're fulfilling your caffeine cravings. Highly recommended for spending some time having great coffee. Can't imagine anything better than grabbing the window table, have an excellent coffee while observing people scurrying like ants under their umbrellas outside in the rain. Truly one of my perfect lazy saturday afternoons. read more

I'm off caffeine at the moment, which meant so much of what this joint has to offer was sadly out of my reach - CURSES! Nethertheless I was struck by the friendliness of the staff (they seem to really give a sh1t, which isn't always the case, sadly), the freshness of my sandwich and the largeness of my Anzac biscuit. Clever use of the space at the back end as well. Like it. read more

Excellent long black. I felt as if I was back in Melbourne. On this bleak rainy day in London, the accents of the baristas, the Anzac biscuits, and the Veggimite helped me to escape for 15 minutes. Excellent food, excellent coffee, excellent all round. read more

I visited at lunchtime, so the place was packed out with brash media types. This isn't a problem in itself (c.f. Flat White, Milk Bar), but the three members of staff were struggling to cope with the demand. When my flat white was served - after an interminable wait - it was tepid and had been spilt into the saucer. The basic fundamentals of a good coffee shop is that every drink should be made with care, regardless of how busy it is. Mine was just sloppy, and I wasn't happy about it. The one saving grace was the cake. It was a lemon, poppy seed and cream cheese muffin-type thing, and it was delicious. Could easily make a return visit just for the cake. But first, they need to sort out their staff. read more

Nice ole Aussie cafe in the center of London. The coffee is all great. My favorite drinks are the filtered drip or soy flat white. If you want a bite with your coffee, tab a banana bread. They warm it up for you and slather a ton of butter. Personally, I think the butter is overboard, so I opt to have it toasted plain. They also have a fair selection of products for you buy so you can brew your own drinks at home. They're a bit pricey, but good quality. read more

Ack! I just realized I have not written a review for this fabulous place. I came accross Kaffeine a few years ago thanks to Yelp and now when I'm in London, it's a go to for me. And whenever I know someone who is going to London, I tell them they have to go. Their cappuccino is outstanding, if I'd call a drink svelte, this would be it. I'll have to try the banana bread when I'm in next (lucky me, that's just over a week away). read more

Excellent coffee, excellent service, vegan friendly (choice of soy or oat milk), beautiful outdoor benches AND window seats? I'm a fan.

We came here because it got the highest rating in the London Coffee Guide 2011 (incidentally the reviewer is the owner of Prufrock, which is another incredible coffee joint in London). As expected, the coffee tastes as if it were brewed by experts. The espresso I ordered was smoky, yet ever so slightly creamy. Baristas and staff in general were good and very friendly---this is one of the only places where your coffee is automatically served with a small glass of tap water, and the staff actually comes around to refill your glass as well. I had a pain au chocolat with my espresso---sadly I was not very impressed with this particular pastry. The chocolate inside was good, but the pastry puff was a bit tough. But I guess you don't come to Kaffeine for the pastries.... Clientele - a mix of people on their way to the office, hipsters, and young ladies having a chat read more

Amazing antipodean coffee and treats but not enough seating for a leisurely brunch. I love this little coffee shop. In a lot of ways it reminds me of my fave little cafes back home in Sydney but with a touch of London cool. For starters, they speak antipodean coffee language and their coffee tastes amazing, to boot! None of that burnt-tasting strong coffee that many British cafes tend to serve. The baked treats at this place are also amazing... especially the lamingtons around Australia day time. Don't come here expecting a leisurely brunch spot though. The seating is cramped and it's often a race once a table is vacated. It's a big call but this place is my pick for the best coffee in London... and the best lamingtons this side of Sydney! read more

I just wanted to start out by giving a little shout out to Ryan for putting this place on my radar. I totally would have never discovered it without you - sigh! A fab breakfast spot, nothing too fussy just yogurt, toast, porridge and coffee but all lovely and severed by really helpful staff. Chatting with Larissa we were discussing the loveliness of the cakes. I actually ate banana bread for breakfast here! It's so night to go somewhere where they actually make their stuff on site. What's that made from? Of course they can tell you right away, they made it! Now a place called Kaffeine you'd expect to have mind blowing coffee, meh - I've had better. The Aussie guy that owns this place is like many coffee drinkers from the other hemisphere, they like it strong and bitter. Too bitter for my little British taste buds. But staying that during 8-9.30am the place was pretty busy with very cool and hip types so it obviously is popular with many. Other nice things are that they take cards and that they have a loo. Top stuff! read more
