    Consistently great coffee and happening vibe! Baristas always pleasant and happy to converse.

    Cute coffee shop around Soho with decent coffee. My only qualm was the limited seating. I came here around 9 am on a Saturday and my peaceful experience came to an abrupt halt when the rush came in and the place got packed like a bar

    Store front of Coffee Shop.

    Excellent expresso and hip vibe inside. I'll be back as long as I'm staying at The London Edition down the street.

    Americano in a black mug.... highlighted by the beautiful Kaffeine neon sign.

    Quaint coffee shop with the sweet aroma! My Order: Banana nut bread (warmed) and an americano. The banana nut bread was absolutely delicious. Coffee was a little "buttery" for my taste, but was served at the perfect temperature. Environment: takes a bit (for someone to leave) to find a spot, but very comfortable seating once you find it. Great use of space. Order at the counter and seat yourself. Verdict: nice spot to take a quick break from it all and grab a tasty treat. Don't expect the luxuries but appreciate the efficiencies. Staff is friendly-ish. Tips: no WiFi - which was hard as a traveler - forced me to leave earlier than I would have liked. Next time: I'd go for the classic espresso and bring a crossword puzzle to pass the time!

    Another Kaffeine always fantastic for a coffee addict like me. Great coffee great food great atmosphere less crowed than the other one ! I love the interior high wood tables , beautiful counter , black wall ... In short i love everything !

    Nice and quick breakfast and coffee. Had many options and went with the flat white and was no disappointed. Small but nice selection of pastries, including Portuguese egg tarts, cookies and muffins. Some ham croissants for a more savory brekkie. Nice ambiance, hipster decor, and good service. Off side street in fitzrovia but still close enough to Oxford street.

    The second Kaffeine on Eastcastle Street delivers great coffee, delicious food and friendly service in a modern environment. Whenever you want to take a break from the busy surroundings of Oxford Street (or your office - if you work in the area), there is not much more you could ask for! In early spring 2015, Kaffeine opened its second branch on Fitzrovia's Eastcastle Street, just a few minutes from the original store, but significantly closer to the constant hustle and bustle of Oxford Street. No question, after I have been visiting the original Kaffeine store regularly for several years now, I am biased and probably not the most objective reviewer. So I intentionally waited a few weeks before I wrote this review, to get a better impression of the new location and not write everything based on previous experience at the first shop. The second Kaffeine feels very familiar and also a little bit alien at the same time. The general layout of the shop is recognisable, like a mirrored setup of the first shop. The abundance of free space in the middle of the new store on Eastcastle Street certainly creates a slightly different atmosphere and makes take-away orders much easier. Most materials used appear more modern, while preserving basic characteristics of the Kaffeine style - if there is such a thing. The high tables are a beautiful mix of wood and concrete. Where people are used to exposed brick walls these days, the new Kaffeine presents itself sleek and polished with washed concrete, light wood, copper, a black wall and white tiles. I also like that the design of the tables is continued on the walls. When I first walked in, I was surprised about the interior, because I probably expected something that looked more like the first shop. But after looking around and spending some time there, I really enjoy the refreshing mix of colours and surfaces. I got to think that Kaffeine in Eastcastle Street puts more emphasis on food. Since the shop opened, I've already discovered a few tasty new treats, like the absolutely delicious chocolate and raspberry cake - and some of the new items also make their way to the Great Titchfield Street shop. The coffee is excellent, as you expect from Kaffeine: beautiful black cups, filled with great Square Mile coffee and finished off with carefully crafted latte art by lovely and skillful baristas. Now, I must admit, that I kind of prefer the original shop. The darker wood, the brick wall, the size or probably just the different floor plan create a warm coziness that makes me smile. Besides this, the bench and the tables simply work a little bit better for me - maybe just because I am used to it all. However, altogether I do really like Kaffeine on Eastcastle Street and will soon be back for another coffee, and to check out the rest of the food menu.

    Arguably the best coffee in London. Kaffeine has become somewhat of an institution since it opened in 2009 by one of the savviest guys in the industry, Peter Dore-Smith. A solid Square Mile espresso-based offering is complimented by a breakfast and lunch menu made from seasonal ingredients. Dore-Smith opened another café last year at nearby Eastcastle Street. It's an enhanced version of the original, with clever design features, such as a monolithic copper counter and a neon yellow "Kaffeine" sign above it.

    Nice people there. Limited menu and the food offerings are a bit short of average. Stale pastries that taste off.

    So my mother and I ate at a lot of eateries while we were in London last year. Only Bloomsbury Cafe…read moreleft us declaring defeat: we just couldn't finish our meals here. Their servings are HUGE, and are so affordable too! I left wishing my mother and I had the ability to save our leftovers for later, because we hated wasting any of the delicious food that we ordered. Even before we got our food we were pretty excited. When you walk in you're greeted here with a beautiful sight: fresh sandwiches, bread, and pastries, all on display right at their main counter. Once we were seated I noticed little flower pots line the window, too. Fresh food and flowers - what more can you ask from a cafe for a first impression? We also loved the owner and his wife: they were very kind and they constantly kept us up to date on our food order, just to mention what was done and what they still needed to do or cook. They clearly work hard to provide fresh fast meals - and we learned quickly as people came in and out of the place that takeaway is available here. But we wanted to enjoy a sit down meal, and enjoy we did! I started mine with fresh squeezed juice - we're talking so fresh you'll want to add sugar to it if you're used to the juice that comes in stores. And when our English breakfasts came out? Just, wonderful. My mother and I each received SO much food. Both meals came with amazing buttered bread (like, I would have happily eaten an entire plate of bread and only bread), hash browns so fresh that they may as well have given us the original potatoes (yum), and what I can really only describe as a mountain of beans, eggs, and meat (well, on mine anyway - not so much on my mother's vegetarian breakfast order). All of it absolutely delicious, and every single bite made me smile wider and wider. Definitely walk on in if you're near this little shop. Don't be afraid to order one meal and share it if there's only two of you, either - you'll likely both leave well fed, and you can always order a little more food if you want too from that great looking counter of theirs...

    Had the New Yorker. Hit and fresh bread, what you want in a panini. Staff was friendly and…read moreefficient. I'd eat here again if you just want a quick sandwich and not in the mood for pub food. Though I did not have any, their desserts look really good too.

I had rice with meatballs in a tomatoe sauce which was a bit hot and very delicious. The waitress (I guess the owner of the café) was very nice and friendly, did ask if we want drinks or dessert.

    This is one of London's remaining "proper" cafes. The owners are genuinely lovely and welcome…read moreeveryone with a smile and even remember you if it's been months between visits. I always come to this establishment if I'm in the area and demand that my colleagues meet me there. I've never heard a complaint. Many local establishments wouldn't know a "full English" of it slapped them across the back of their legs, but you won't be disappointed here. Decent, tasty, full-sized sausages, quality bacon and all of the assorted extras that would set anybody for the day. The coffee is good and if you've still got space for lunch later, they also sell a range of delicious sandwiches. The owners are flying the flag for English (no fuss) breakfasts. The interesting thing is that neither of the owners are native Brits, but they've certainly created a welcome oasis in this part of London. Even the health conscious and vegetarians will be happy. Highly recommended.
