Lovely shop x cafe rolled into one! It's cute and has some seating. Good coffee. For those picky about alt milks, last I checked they use Rude Health :) read more

Thought this was a coffee shop, but it seemed to be a retail store. Definitely cuter shops in the area such as Nyoka or Pret if you are looking for a guaranteed good drink or food. Not sure why it is rated so highly! read more

Shoreditch has a bit of a hard time waking up on weekend mornings, it would seem... En route to a 10am Saturday hair appointment, I figured I'd run into no less than 12 coffee options between my home and said hairdresser. Surprise to me -- nothing was open! My usual spots were still poking the sleep from their eyes, and I was staring down a 2 hour appointment sans caffeine. It was sort of an emergency. Shoreditch tends to just get to bed at 8am, so I guess I can see why no one would be awake to serve coffee pre-10am -- but really! I need some! And then, just as I was about to reach my final destination (With Sep - review to follow!), a sweet little chalkboard sign appears proclaiming "WE HAVE GREAT CUPCAKES!." With their doors flung wide open and the familiar sounds of espresso being slung, I knew I'd found a fix. Willing participants to the morning! Paper & Cup is a Not-for-profit (yes, you read right -- you can feel good about that indulgence!) coffee and cakes shop that sells used books. Just off the main Kingsland Road/Shoreditch High Street drag, this sweet little shop is well outfitted, comfortable, and has everything you'll need for a morning jolt or casual sit down with a cuppa. Calvert Street is very quiet and calm. My mocha was delightful, 2.70. I was very tempted by the "GREAT CUPCAKES" - the red velvet being particularly inviting, but decided to return and get one on my next visit. Several outside tables for good weather, too. I shall return. read more

Another coffee shop I pass on my walk to work. I feel like this could be a great place to escape from the office environment and work here instead.... in fact I think I will be trying that soon!

Paper and Cup - Loyalty cards (9th coffee is free) + free bookmarks you can use if you buy a book at Paper & Cup. - Coffee & Tea Near Me - London, XGL

This is an awesome little cafe in the centre of the city. Firstly, it was a great cup of coffee. After the first sip I knew that I found a great cafe. You know that it is a good place when you need to order another cup - which I did. It is a more bitter bean, but that is what I prefer. So yes I am a fan. Didn't really eat here - however, I did pick up a little tart and it was delicious! Soft and fresh, I couldn't find anything to flaw it. So this is going to be my regular stop in the mornings while I am here in London. As this was a perfect little place. However, there isn't much seating here so not sure how busy it will be during peak time. So be prepared. read more

A very lovely and friendly little coffee shop on Calvert Avenue that, besides the really good coffee, also happens to sell delicious cakes and almond croissants. Definitely one of my favorites in the area. There are seating options inside and outside, plus there's Arnold Circus and the park from Shoreditch Church just a few steps away. read more

Hidden off the beaten path in Shoreditch, this pleasant little cafe offers a wide assortment of tea as well as proper espresso drinks. We sat outside on the sidewalk and people watched to our hearts content. read more

Paper & Cup is one of the reasons I take any opportunity to work or meet in Shoreditch. I was lucky to make this a regular stop on my way to the office for a couple of month - and I miss it already. It's less trendy than the more serious establishments on Redchurch Street and has a lovely homely feel to it. It is also a lot less busy during the week, making it the perfect stop over for a take away coffee on the way to work. It's also perfect for lunch if you fancy a quick sandwich in relaxed surroundings - and if you're bored there's plenty of books to choose from ... Not sure if they are open on Sundays - they are not far from Columbia Road Market, hint, hint! read more

It's a small and cute place, selling good quality pastries and tasty coffee. It's inexpensive so it's perfect. However to give 5 stars I need my small coffee in a hot cup, otherwise it's not hot anymore when you drink it. read more

Paper and Cup - Pain au chocolat & Coffee - Coffee & Tea Near Me - London, XGL

Paper and Cup is a cute coffee shop in Shoreditch with good vibes and quality coffee. I happened to be in the area and decided to come in to get some reading done for my classes. The latte was satisfying and creamy, but the vegan apricot croissant was a bit cold and not very flaky, so I would suggest sticking with the beverages here. In addition to the coffee and pastries, Paper and Cup also sells used books, which adds to the decor and gives any book lover a great opportunity for a quick read or cheap purchase. The seating inside was limited and quite crammed, but if you can grab a table, this is a great environment to pump out some work. Full of charm, open on Sundays, not-for-profit, and serving good coffee, Paper and Cup left an overall positive impression on me. read more

Very cute, cozy, and quiet. When I heard it was a coffee / bookshop, I did imagine something larger. Instead, it's very quaint (to my American experience) with books serving more as decoration. It really has a good feeling about it though. I love the blue trim exterior and the row of benches and tables outside. Service was friendly and my flat white was good. I enjoyed sitting out front, listening to my headphones, and watching people go by. It's a 2 minute walk around the corner from The Ace Hotel, so definitely worth a visit if you've already experienced their in-house coffee bar and want to try something new. read more

I recently moved to Shoreditch a couple minutes away from Paper & Cup and I completely felt for this adorable non for profit coffee shop. The staff is friendly, great selection of tea (and Chai soya Latte on the menu which is a must for me), good quality coffee and plenty of delicious sweet treats. They also sell second hand books, and other vintage goodies. Not pretentious at all, it's really refreshing to have a spot like that in the area. read more

Great cozy and quiet place to do some work for a bit. Also appreciate the affordable prices (compared to other coffee shops in the area). Love all the books as well. read more

During my proprietary stay in London (more specifically Shoreditch), I came across this place while walking around like an aimless tourist. The place caught my attention because it seemed very "London," whatever that means. It's a very cute spot with best-in-class coffee and delectable little snacks. The place is also very reasonably priced and helps you prepare for the next "bear market." The atmosphere makes you feel really comfortable. I felt so comfortable that I surreptitiously spread my ass cheeks on my chair to let out a silent fart out of my upper anus. The relatively high ceilings allowed my fart to have no smell whatsoever. I encourage anyone looking to get his or her day started to come to this proprietary spot. I love the name of the place too! read more

Cheesecake was quite fine. Could do with a little more drizzle on my salmon fish cake though.

A lovely little relaxing coffee shop just off shoreditch high street. Definitely recommend.

Love this place. The coffee is fantastic and the vibe is great. Lots of beautiful vintage pieces on display and for sale.

very good! not so much space... but it's a fantastic delicious place i recommend it!

NICE, NICE, NICE! Very nice soy lattes and fresh baked, crispy, buttery croissants that seem to sell out in minutes when they come out of the oven. It's always good to have a regular coffee shop and even though Allpress and Nude are equally close to me, I'd pick Paper & Cups espresso over theirs anyday! read more

When it comes to Almond Milk lattes, it's rare to find a place that achieves the perfect milk to coffee ratio. This adorable café has nailed it. Both times I've been to Paper and Cup I've had the most delicious lattes. The ambiance is great to meet friends or sit and read or draw, and there is indoor and outdoor seating for when the place fills up. Can't wait to try one of the vegan cinnamon buns next time! read more
