This does sort of feel like your typical Melbourne cafe, though come to think of it I don't think I…read morehave encountered a Melbourne Cafe that has multiple types of beans on offer. Sure, you do have them trying to push single origin (though I suspect they don't actually get any bonuses for doing so, it's just to enrich the shareholders). Still, that aside, this was a pretty decent cafe, especially since you have a huge number of different beans to try, which means that you aren't going to get stuck with a type you don't like.

The service was uninviting and surprisingly rude when we asked about the coffee roast and the morning special- buy a pastry and receive a cold brew. One small example, I had already ordered a pastry but the main hostess denied that I should receive a free cold brew. The main issue though was "tone" and "unfriendliness". The espresso and pastry were good, not great. As we know, customer experience is everything and Redemption missed by not understanding that.

Since Nude Espresso shut down in Soho Square in '15, I found it nearly impossible to find a comparable loft cafe with a great coworking space. However, Coffee Island has filled that void. Located off a 7-Dials offshot of Covent Garden, this large venue has a beautiful overhead loft overlooking the barista bar. There are also plenty of tables and chairs on the first floor, including outside on the patio. The architecture is adorable, think iron staircase that leads you to barstool seating situated along the glass wall. The lengthy table is equipped with modern library desk lamps for each individual. Cute decor as well and coffee magazines/literature can be found in every nook and corner. The baristas there are all super friendly, and boy, does each and every one of them hustle. By hustle, I mean, if they aren't ringing up customers or whipping up beverages or serving food, they are constantly tidying up the venue, doing dish sweeps, and keeping the venue in tiptop shape, even during the busy hours. They engage with customers and make sure your drink is crafted to perfection. Definitely my new favorite spot when I want to work up above in a loft with the energy of the bustling cafe in my peripheral vision. Easily 5 stars. Pro-tip: they have a loyalty card. After £50 spent, you get a free crafted beverage or some amount of coffee beans for home.

I had an old fashioned espresso (how cool!) and my fiance had a latte, complete with latte art. They serve homemade oat cakes as well. It's a nice gem in the neighborhood. I will mention that I went to the restroom, which is downstairs. It's located in the basement, which sort of looks like a family's rec room. When I went down there, the previously friendly barista was having lunch on the couch. It's a weird area to walk through. It feels like an area you shouldn't be walking through, but nevertheless, I was happy to be able to use the loo!

We just stumbled across this place by accident one evening and wondered if it was even open to the…read morepublic. We returned a week later during business hours, and sure enough, the coffee roasters were turning, and the aroma was intoxicating. It's a tiny shop with barely enough room for a couple of customers, but the proprietor has about 8 beans or blends on offer, cash sales only. The floor is covered with giant burlap sacks of coffee, and even more interestingly, the roasting and grinding machines are from a bygone era. As noted by the previous poster, the proprietor/owner has had the shop for 32 years, but the shop has been around much longer, as his uncle owned it before him. The coffee roasting machines date from 1925. Walking into this shop is like visiting a museum of London past. He was happy to chat a bit and asked us what kind of coffee we liked and how we prepared it. A few minutes later he handed over a 250g bag of ground Brazillian Santos with a dark espresso roast for about £3.80. Later, when we continued on through Camden to do some shopping, we were amazed at how the intense smell of the coffee was emanating out of my bag, even though he had taped up the paper package inside a plastic bag. Those freshly roasted and ground beans were almost overpowering, really. We had a cup when we got home and it was really delicious. We've been enjoying it all week. This place is a real gem! We'll definitely be regulars.

I had to come to Yelp to review this place, like other posters before me, because this place is a…read morenational treasure. My sweetie and I are big fans of single-origin coffee, which makes us a minority in London, but we stumbled across another coffee shop in Camden that referred us to this place, and we are so happy to have found it! It's a tiny, one-employee shop but this guy really knows his stuff. While we were there, he was roasting coffee in the (now antique) cylinder roaster that another Yelper has posted a photo of. During our conversation, he jumped up and came around the counter and squeezed past us to halt the roasting process. He knew, simply by the smell and sound and his sense of how long it had been roasting, when the beans were done! The scales and other equipment in the shop are not high-tech but they're sturdy and gets the job done; quite fun to observe. We had come in search of raw beans that we could take home and roast ourselves, and although he typically doesn't sell them green, he sold some to us and gave us instructions on how to store them properly as well. We took them home and have been roasting small batches at a time and enjoying them very much! I look forward to visiting his shop again next time we're in London. If you enjoy making quality coffee at home, this guy knows his stuff. Note that some of the reviews seem to be describing a cafe that serves coffee and pastries; this shop only sells beans but they don't have space for tables to serve coffee or food. They might be referring to the similarly named "Camden Coffee House" which is close by.

It looks appealing on entering but sadly this is where it stopped for us.

However I became very unwell very soon after eating, my friend soon followed suit in becoming unwell whilst walking around town.

Date of Visit: 02.10.09 "Pure Treasure - Great Chef with…read moregreat passion" Review: You first enter and feel that it is both casual and reasonably lively and Family friendly. I know Mill Hill and this is not my usual spot for breakfast or lunch so I was intrigued by Mill & Brew. The head chef was previously trained by Jamie Oliver and his passion for food and caring about the ingredients really shines through. Quick tip to the owner "don't let this one go". A great menu catering for all including a good vegetarian and vegan options with lots to select but my only criticism on the menu is that the Breakfast and Lunch menus are very similar and only a couple of new dishes added for lunch. Also although there are cakes and other dessert items no specific in house desserts and I would love to see this moving forward. All portion sizes are large so feel free to order more single dishes and share so you can get a chance to really sample the fantastic menu selection. I will be going again and would highly recommend this establishment to all. Parking: Ample station parking and also street metered parking also which although is limited to 1.5hours at around £2 you can go back and get another ticket. Decor & Lighting: A rustic cafe feel but really well done so you just feel comfortable at a light casual place to meet for a coffee or a full meal. Heating and Cooling: Noted they have AC and during our time the AC was off but temperature was perfect, not hot or cold. Ambience & Acoustics: A great feel but acoustics wise there were a few people around and it did sometimes get hard to have a conversation but being hard walls and high ceilings this would be an acoustic issue anyway. Service: Excellent service by all members of staff as each would come and ask if all was ok so very attentive. DB Level: 77.3 dB We had the following: Coconut crush - My friend had this and suffice to say it must have been to her taste as nothing was left. Berry burst - Textured and fresh and I am no fan of blueberry but loved this combination. I would recommend this for all to try. Beetroot smash (Poached beetroot smashed with organic yoghurt, topped with pomegranate, crushed walnuts & pistachios finished with fresh apple on sourdough) - A take on the usual avocado on toast but using an english ingredient. The bread is crispy with the beetroot both light and sweet. All very well presented and I for one not being a fan of beetroot was a bit worried about this one but I was pleasantly surprised and I am glad we had selected this from the menu and is a must to try. English breakfast (Two fried eggs, smoked streaky bacon, award-winning sausage, homemade baked beans, a baked tomato, Portobello mushroom, potato & onion rosti and toast) - Again a well presented dish. All the ingredients used and specially selected. The beans being fresh and not the canned variety with a great light taste. You also get a little salad with light fresh dressing. Along with the best crispy bacon I have had which was really crunchy. The award winning sausage had a light spice and perfectly cooked and not too meaty. The tomatoes and mushrooms along with the perfect egg and the most amazing hash brown all work in perfect balance. M&B banana pancakes (Triple-stacked fluffy pancakes! Choose between our classic smoked bacon and maple syrup or our caramelised bananas with sweetened cream cheese & toasted hazelnuts) - Sweet and fluffy but be aware this is a large portion which we shared and still could not finish the entire dish. Real care and attention taken to the dish which would not go a miss in most fine dining establishments. Albeit they would probably charge more and give a much smaller portion. Halloumi rings - A nice touch and variation on onion rings. A nice light and crispy batter and works well as a side dish also served with a home made dip which works well. Fries/Chips (Hand cut, twice cooked, crispy chips) - Great chunky chips which are rustic with the skin left on. Again served with a great home made dip. A treat for all. Chicken Schnitzel Burger (Free range crispy chicken breast fillet in a brioche bun with baby gem lettuce, homemade coleslaw & mature cheddar cheese, topped with siracha mayo) - A nice homely made item, crispy, crunchy and nice taste to the batter coating. Really fresh and worth every penny. Conclusion: The slight issue we found is that the Wi-Fi needs improvement as there is poor signal and no real cover. But food wise and atmosphere wise there was no complaints at all other than wanting maybe more items for Lunch and having their own home made dessert menu. All the food is fresh and all ingredients sourced with care and attention. I would be happy to have the same food in the top city hotel and I do think this chef is going places so why not try out where he started his own vision before you have to pay more for the privilege in years to come. Great food and good value.
