Top 3 Coffee Shops in London

From Instagrammable flat whites to the wave of artisan coffee pop-ups, London has enjoyed something of a love affair with real, good coffee in the past few years. And there are few things that make getting out of bed on an autumnal morning quite as appealing as a visit to your favourite barista.

Grind & Co.

The Grind is rapidly taking over London - having started with a sole site in Shoreditch Grind, it has since opened new cafes in Soho, Holborn, London Bridge, Clerkenwell and Royal Exchange among others. Hipster staff, great coffee and offbeat interiors make each cafe a destination in itself, plus evenings see them turn into bars

 

 

Store St Espresso

 

Serving artisan coffees and tantalising treats in a light, laid-back interior makes Store St Espresso, on the quiet Bloomsbury stretch from which it takes its name, easily one of the best coffee shops in London - and an under-the-radar one at that. So popular is it that a second shop is just up the road on Tavistock Place.

 

 

Coleman Coffee Roasters

 

As well as being the roastery behind the some of the best coffee shops in London, Coleman Coffee has its own solo branch near Waterloo station. Serving high-quality Arabica coffee from a pleasingly simple menu of filter, cappuccino, piccolo or espresso, Jack Coleman and his team also sell beans for at-home coffee-making on those weekends you just can't drag yourself out of bed for one of their freshly-brewed cups.
