This is a very spacious Caffe Nero. They sell the usual coffee selections (espresso, capuccino,…read morelatte) hot chocolate and teas. They also have cold drinks which you can pick from the chiller and they will blend them up for you. Some are iced coffee and some are milkshakes. I like mint! At seasonal time they have specialty coffee's such as Amaretto latte served with Amaretti biscuit at Christmas. They have a variety of sandwiches and soups. They have pastries such as croissants and cookies. They have chocolates, wafers, mints and other sundries. There is seating outside, which the smokers seems to like. Lots of space if you have a buggy!

Workshop comes to Holborn! Perched up on the viaduct, Workshop's first opening in a while is a…read moresleek ultra modern affair which is apt given it neighbours tech giant Amazon. I dropped in this morning and found the cafe to be nearly deserted. Drinking my perfectly brewed aeropress while listening to Jazz playing over the stereo system was a somewhat lonely affair. This said, I am sure that it will fill up substantially once more people realise it is here! Food wise, Workshop focuses on sandwiches, cakes and pastries all of which looked lovely. I opted for a Bircher museli which was a little stodgy but had a really good quantity of tasty dried and fresh fruit inside. It felt like a healthy way to start the day, although I am probably misguided. Another great addition to the City's coffee options. I am now running out of days of the week for my coffee rota!

A perfectly nice little coffee and tea stop in Clerkenwell, not too far from Farringdon Station…read more It's certainly not 'fancy hipster' like nearby Workshop Coffee, but if you just need a good fix of caffeine, this'll do just fine. Friendly service, a few outside tables (though Clerkenwell Road is busy/loud). The cakes and pastries look delicious as well, if you need something to tie you over until the next real meal. Bonus: many charging stations. Juice for you, juice for your electronics. Good idea!

Just yes!! I'm writing this review while I'm biting into the most delicious wrap ever and I just…read morehad to share this! I literally stumbled upon this place a few minutes ago, it's a tiny non hipster coffee shop in Farringdon and upon going inside saw the most beautiful display of wraps, cakes and pastries. I'm a massive fan of anything including salmon and avocado, so the decision to hold off on eating, took a back seat! I was tempted by the offer of mixing and matching my wraps and almost went for the beautiful looking halloumi wrap, but the salmon was calling me.. So that's one for next time! Now to the wraps.. Oh my word!! They were crammed full of salmon, avocado, rocket and a generous portion of cream cheese!! So damn good!! Coffee wise it's damn good! I got a bonsoy flat white and not only does it taste great, a lot of effort was put into some nice coffee art on top! (I know this isn't easy with soya milk and some people neglect this - so extra stars for this! Will definitely be back, next time I'm around and spreading the word...

Excellent coffee is served here! Follow your nose to find the place…read more.. Only a few seats inside but most customers come here for take aways. When I went there, there were 3 staff working behind the counter and they were all welcoming and clearly well organised so I (and all the other customers) was served quickly despite the little queue in front of me when I arrived.

I had the iced matcha cloud with raspberry syrup. Quality matcha powder used *and* the added fruit sweetener (raspberry here) is subtle but still tasteful actually complementing well with the matcha (unlike fruit sweetener that tastes like straight jam overpowering the whole drink.....). A matcha drink that actually makes sense lol. I also tried the iced Japanese cold brew. Pretty strong in brew taste but still smooth! Polite barista. Low-key, chill vibes at the cafe on a Monday late afternoon. Definitely a nice spot for a pick-me-up drink while venturing London. :)

We've gone here twice now and both times have been pretty great! We really enjoy their croissants…read moresandwich. The one we have had has a delicious and flaky seeded croissant and it has a really nice portion of cream cheese and prosciutto and arugula. It's really savory. I ordered a latte on both visits. The art on it is very nice, but it also tastes as good as it looks! It's smooth and creamy and the perfect temperature to enjoy it right away. The cappuccino my brother ordered also looked pretty good. The staff working here are really friendly and welcoming as well. She was very attentive and asked us if everything was good and if we needed anything else. Unfortunately, we're just visiting the country, but would definitely love to come back to this cafe in the future!

More distinct flavor notes would have made it even better but overall a solid house blend. 4/5.

The new Tapped & Packed on TCR has opened its doors for business - and it's a beaut…read more Only a stone's throw (... or perhaps a small catapult) away from its older sister coffee shop on Rathbone Place, the new café has a strangely familiar, but still altogether different, vibe. Sitting on a corner site near-ish Warren Street tube, the interiors are nicely done - the shop footprint has given the owners less space to play around with but the whole place seems so open thanks to a double-height ceiling and huge windows on two sides. The pared-down effect fixtures and fittings are very similar to the original T&P, from the surfaces and tables down to the awesome little spoons. The baristas are as talented as ever; an early morning pour-over training session was being held to ensure coffee as good as you'd come to expect in the area. The offerings are as before, filter coffees taking to the stage alongside (as opposed to acting as a supporting cast to) the usually more ubiquitous espresso-based versions. I ordered a flat white and some banana bread (which although not as accomplished a breakfast item as Kaffeine's dreamy toasted wonder) was still lovely. I followed this with an espresso on my way out, and although I didn't enquire as to the beans used, it was gorgeous - powerfully fruity with hints of chocolate and raspberries. The place also lays claim to what I believe must be the coolest water tap in London (nay, the UK... or even Europe - possibly the World?!). Ask for a glass and the barista will hand you a small frosted duralex number and point you towards the source - a very fine, looped copper pipe with a mini-red US firefighter style red handle on it. The water comes out at room temperature, which is the reason for keeping the glasses chilled I suppose, but it adds a level of quirky fun to an already excellent coffee shop. I guess I can only curse my misfortune for having moved out of the area (having lived at 72 TCR - so close!!) and am therefore unable to call this my local coffee house - but with friends still in the area I have an excuse to frequent this place more than could ever be deemed neccessary! 5/5 is a no-brainer - roll up, order a perfectly-made coffee from one of the friendly baristas and snicker at the blissfully ignorant pedestrians strolling past outside, 20oz take-away coffee cups in hand with that silly green mermaid on the side whilst you sit pretty inside T&P. You have a reason to feel smug... sheer coffee bliss.

A really lovely atmosphere, especially on this less-than-lovely stretch of Tottenham Court Road…read more I'm one of the many students who wander about in this area and I appreciate a beautiful, non-chain alternative to the uni café or the local Starbucks. The coffees are all in order, if a tad pricey -- worth it for the atmosphere. The cakes are a bit hit or miss -- go for the lemon and poppyseed, skip the carrot cake. The teas are served with adorable souvenir teaspoons from around the UK (see the image I posted) -- reminds me of having tea at my my grandmother's who also collected these odd little things. Mostly, though, I just really dig the inside of this place. Minimalist, neat, warm, welcoming. Staff are lovely. And you can watch the businessmen and students hurry by on Tottenham Court Road while you sit and sip your tea and read the Guardian left behind by a considerate customer.
