Best Coffee in London

[fugitive]

Now this is a big challenge for most Australians when they visit London. Finding a decent cup of coffee!

Here's a brief list of fairly well known shops in & around central London.

1. Flat White - run by kiwis ultimate coffee perfection and latte art but not a huge fan of their monmouth coffee blend lacks a bit of sweetness.

2. Talyor Street Baristas - near perfect coffee at small shop in shepherds bush now temporarily closed another one out west in Richmond is pretty good as well but a bit far.

3. Sacred Cafe - also run by kiwis generally pretty good but depends on the barista I've had some nasty surprises on occasions.

4. Climpson & sons - still gotta try


Italian style coffee:

1. Carluccios - serve "Milano" smooth blend & "Napoli" dark roast, not a huge fan of their latte & cappuccinos (too hot & milky) but love a machiatto every now & then.


Starbucks, Costa, Leon all suck b****


Anymore suggestions from any Aussies in London?

yeah there's a good coffee place at the borough market - run by kiwis and i like it. Having said that i took my brother there and he said it was shit.

There is a coffee place on the corner of city road and old street, next to the old street tube station, fk i think it's exit 8 but can't remember, anyway i like the coffee there, again, took my brother and his gf there and they hated it.

There is another place on the way to brick lane if you're walking from liverpool street tube station, it's on a side street, i can't remember the name but will find out and let you know. This place is by far and away the best london has to offer (as far as i know anyway). It kicks the shit out of any other coiffey i've had there.

Get on the tube to White City, walk past the BBC on Wood Lane, turn right onto North Pole Road after passing under the Westway, second shop on the left hand sign (just underneath the train bridge). I'm getting a semi just thinking about it.

haven't been to london but the coffee this way has been nothing short of complete crap.

haven't had a good one yet but thats probably a good thing cause otherwise i'd be sitting on 4 or 5 day as i was a couple of years ago.
