The house coffee comes from Union and the tea from Lalani. Guest options are also available. All result in pleasingly fresh beverages which are just the thing to break up a busy day. Indeed, the Macchiato I enjoyed on Monday was one of the best that I have had in London. All of this is complimented by truly charming staff. One of London's best cafes.

The sea of suits parted and I set my eyes upon this glorious tiny space. There's cool music, funny chalk drawings, awesome art work from one of the staff, a tempting cake display and super friendly staff. But the best bit? Bangin' coffee made with Square Mile or Nude beans. Well made and up there with one of the best I had during my stay in London, I was suddenly jealous of all the suits trotting about outside. Don't miss he cascara iced "coffee" with lime - one of the best examples I've had of this beverages and easy to drink on a hot day.

It's no fair that the City gets so many good coffee shops which close promptly at 5pm and don't…read moreopen at weekends :( I managed to pop into Association recently after it popped up as one of the top-rated places on the London Coffee app - it's nestled away on Creechurch Lane and it's pretty easy to miss. It's a reasonably roomy place (well, compared to a lot of artisan coffee shops) with a hint of mood lighting (and bare brick walls, of course) and would be a nice place to hang out with someone for a couple of hours. As for me, I chilled out with some Katakana practice because that's how I roll (and they sell a number of Japanese coffee equipment items). Association use Square Mile for their espresso-based coffees and they were using Workshop beans for their filters - as such, I'm guessing (although I may be off) that the filters will be fairly light and complex in character. I'm less of a fan of tea-style filters so I went for a long black. I generally enjoy Square Mile's espresso blends, but this was probably the best one I've had in town so far - absolutely spot on in terms of balance. The staff were pretty chilled out too - I was quite surprised that the overall vibe was really relaxed considering its location. Unfortunately I could only stay for one but I'll definitely want to come back again for longer.

Food/drinks: Tea was excellent (I had both mint and sencha). Coffee and cakes seemed to be enjoyed by my colleagues. Didn't see any gluten free options. Service: Efficient, helpful. Ambiance: This is the selling point. It's modern and beautiful, with interesting wood, brick, tiles. There are coat racks and a mix of tables seating 3-4, a communal table, and a little bar seating area too. It did get very dull around 10 am, so I think it's all about timing. Would happily return.

The brioche was thick and fluffy and there was a good assortment of fresh fruits on the side. I believe it was around 12.50 GBP, which is not bad. I also got an apple juice (4.50 GBP), which tasted like it was freshly squeezed although slightly on the tart side. The interior has a cozy, bustling vibe. I was able to find a table without much of a wait, although it was a bit busy on a weekend afternoon. The staff are average friendliness and you order/pay up at the counter even if you're dining in (they bring the food to you though if you're ordering from the brunch menu). Overall, Exmouth Coffee Company is a very solid option whether you're looking for a breakfast, brunch, or snack/drink.

Also they only had the larger size straws which was kind of awkward fitting for my regular sized drink.

We had the raspberry cake slice and it was Devine! The chai tea latte was also scrumptious. The interior decor is so eclectic and charming that it makes you feel so happy. Love the family own and operated vibes, and the girl who helped us taste test before making our selection of cake was just as sweet as our cake!
