London’s Best Coffee Spots: A Caffeine Lover’s Guide

Coffee wakes you up, energises you, and prepares you for the day ahead. It’s an essential part of many of our daily routines. London is home to some of the best coffee spots, offering everything from expertly brewed espresso to cosy cafés. Let’s explore some of the most highly rated coffee spots in London.

London’s Top-Rated Cafés

Below is a list of London’s favourite coffee spots:

Qima

Qima is famous for sourcing exceptional coffees directly from smallholder farmers in some of the world’s most challenging environments. The owner, Faris Sheiban, drew inspiration from his grandfather’s ethos of “making lives, not trade.”

Their mission is to ensure that every cup of coffee sold supports their “Coffee Tree Per Cup” initiative, which provides a young coffee tree to a farmer—promoting sustainable livelihoods and high-quality coffee.

Notes

Notes is part of a small chain, bustling with tourists and serving as an introduction to speciality coffee for many. Their focus is on sourcing high-grade beans and roasting them in small batches to enhance the flavour. The cafés have a modern yet cosy vibe, making them ideal for working, socialising, or simply unwinding with a great cup of coffee.

Workshop Coffee

Founded in 2011, Workshop Coffee is renowned for sourcing and roasting quality coffee. Their café, just off Upper Regent Street, offers a warm and inviting atmosphere with comfortable indoor seating. They also serve a small but carefully curated selection of pastries, some of which are made offsite.

Nagare

Nagare offers a serene and romantic experience, blending Japanese-inspired aesthetics with historic London charm. Despite only opening in January 2023, Nagare Coffee has quickly built a reputation for serving some of London’s smoothest and most well-balanced coffees.

Gail’s

Gail’s is one of London’s most popular independent coffee shops. Their success is down to their smooth, creamy, and robust lattes, as well as an ever-evolving selection of breads and cakes. Be sure to start your day with a coffee and a cinnamon bun at one of Gail’s cosy cafés.
