I was drawn in by their "Best Espresso in London" sign. It may or may not be true, but I can say…read morethat the Iced Gusto with hazelnut is sweet and delicious, and packs a gorgeously strong caffeine kick. You can't come here and not get dessert, though. The Tiramisu is the best I've had anywhere and it airs perfectly with their espresso. Seeing as it is in a very vibrant touristy part of London, situated near Big Ben and the ever famous London Eye, it is on the pricier side. A cup f coffee and dessert will set you back almost as much as a regular meal might elsewhere. Believe me, though, it's worth it. FYI: The later it gets, the more packed it's likely to become, as people are always hankering to see the city come alive with bright lights after sundown.

I would give this place 3 1/2 stars. A friend and I stumbled upon Caffe Vergnano the afternoon we…read morearrived in London from the U.S. after searching for Wagamama, which we never found. It looks like more of a coffee shop, but we weren't really interested in anyplace else we came across at the time. I ordered the gnocchi w/ gorgonzola and radicchio, which was pretty good, but a tad on the sweet side. Service was okay - nothing spectacular, but not bad either. Not bad for our very first meal in London, but the other meals we had surpassed this one.

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.

Another little French offering in South Ken. I love the name but I hardly think it lives up to it's…read morenamesake. As with most of the cafes round here it's a little over priced and full of French collage kids at lunchtime. I wouldn't pick this as my first choice, I'd rather head for Paul's to be honest, which is of a similar price. The cappuccino's, hot chocolate and the cookies are particularly good, but whatever you're eating is spoiled by the music blasting out. I find it really odd that a little cafe would do this to your ears, when it would benefit much more by nurturing a chilled out coffee culture vibe. The owner Ben, can be a little imposing too, although if you fancy a heated debate about one of a million conspiracy theories he's throwing about then it might be your cup of tea! Well, at least I can't blame it for lacking character. Tip: Earplugs needed, for both music and owner.

Recently I was searching for a place to park it with the laptop and plug in. I saw the "free wifi"…read moresign, and the large sacks of coffee beans along one wall. It seemed like a work in progress, but I decided to give it a try. The staff are members of an Italian family, from near Rome. The cafe has a pleasant, slightly chaotic atmosphere. I found a table and settled in, ordered some coffee, and kept an open mind. Since this shop is in a "developing" part of Spitalfields, a few blocks south of the market, I wasn't sure what to expect. It turns out I discovered a place that fits the intangible profile of what I like: independent stance, its own atmosphere, definitely not your typical coffeeshop. The best thing to do is kick back, do your thing, and watch the proceedings over the top of your laptop screen or book. From time to time characters walked in and spoke to the owner and other customers about politics, business, whatever. Sometimes even in English. At one point someone pulled up in a Lamborghini and gave the owner's child a ride around the block, I think. They make food there, and they sell coffee beans, and grind them to your specification. They'll ask you what you like in your coffee, suggest a blend, and even write down the percentages in a little book in case you like it and want to re-order again next time. I came away thinking this place has a certain attitude and character. I hope they keep it that way. (The name stands for "fazenda", which means farm or plantation in portuguese, and "uk" which stands for... well, you know.)

Edited: I had a cappuccino and an incredible cherry tart here for £3.30. I couldn't believe it. I…read moreeven asked the guy if he'd made an error in calculating how much I owed. He hadn't. He laughed. I paid. I went off happy. Fazenda UK is an independent café and coffee roaster located just off Petticoat Lane market and a few blocks south of Spitalfields market. Despite being located near two very bustling places, the street the café is on is nice and quiet. The café itself is somewhat new, but the Italian family running it seem to have been in the business for quite a few years now. In addition to coffee, Fazenda UK also sells an assortment of home-made cakes and pastries (of which the staff are justifiably proud), as well as soup and sandwiches. I'd recommend the cherry tart if it's available. There's also a small deli in the café. There's a very cosy, homely feel to the café which I like. The walls lined with bags of coffee beans are oddly comforting. Plus, I love the smell of coffee beans and freshly ground coffee. The only thing is that the chairs seemed a little low, and just about did my back in after I had been sitting for close to an hour. This is one of the few places which opens on Saturdays when the markets aren't trading. Of course, there's a reason why shops around this area don't traditionally open on Saturdays, and the owner mentioned that they may revisit their decision to do so in the near future. There's free wi-fi available here if you're looking for somewhere to recharge and reconnect with the outside world. Otherwise, just take a seat, order a coffee, enjoy a home-made cake or three, and relax.

My favorite are the blondies - chewy, crumbly, and not too sweet if paired with a black coffee. The first time I stumbled upon this cafe, it was admitted the color mosaic stair fronts along many doorways on Tavistock Street that caught my eye. Bloomsbury Coffee House is actually downstairs, below street level. There is probably two tables in the outdoor downstairs. There is more seating indoors that spans two rooms. Overall, how would I describe the ambiance? Sweet and cozy. Perfect for discussing schoolwork over a cuppa.
