The BEST almond croissant. Massive and delicious. The chaos behind the counter are always as friendly as can be. Anzac biscuit also is great, not too sweat. Verdict - would recommend & go back.

Although the menu isn’t extensive it’s a good place to stop for a quick snack. There isn’t a lot of seating available (as the café is tiny) but I’m assuming most customers either work locally or are tourists grabbing something to go. I had the falafel wrap and a caramel latte, and thoroughly enjoyed both. Staff were lovely and even checked that I was happy with the amount of syrup in my coffee! Definitely worth visiting.

One of the best cafés I’ve ever been to. I’ve been here multiple times and know the staff very well. I’ve had their matcha latte numerous times and it’s the best I’ve ever had. Their meals are very healthy and filling. The people there are super welcoming and kind.

We stopped by this new coffee spot and were so impressed! The coffee was smooth and flavorful, and the peanut butter cookie? Absolutely AMAZING — soft, rich, and just the right amount of sweetness. Their bakes are homemade, in-house and you can tell! On top of that, the customer service was top-notch. The staff were so friendly and welcoming, which made the experience even better. The decor was really lovely and cosy, too. We’ll definitely be back for more. Highly recommend checking it out if you’re in the area! ⭐️

I appreciate this little coffee shops so much! They had a renovation and is very cosy, with a nice view to nostalgic Victorian market build, good coffee, warm customer service and you NEED to try the falafel.

Brilliant cosy little find near st Bart’s clinics, opposite Smithfield’s. Perfect little spot for a pre appointment coffee. Really nice atmosphere and delicious coffee! Service is so warm and friendly with a beautiful tireless smile!

Lovely cosy family-run cafe. Great coffee with a range of milk alternatives (incBonSoy) and a good selection of pastries and bowls. Mostly take away but there’s a few nice tables for eating/drinking in

Wheelchair accessibility
They did have a small ramp but too steep for our wheelchair but a staff member came out to help me as I was trying to relay the menu from the doorway.

Cawfee is hands down one of the best coffee spots in town! Their flat whites are consistently smooth and rich with perfectly steamed milk—clearly crafted by people who know their coffee. The pastries are equally impressive: buttery, flaky, and fresh every time. You can tell they care about quality. A special shoutout to Mehmet Akbas, the manager, whose service is second to none. He’s always welcoming, attentive, and makes every visit feel personal. Whether you’re popping in for a quick caffeine fix or settling in for a cozy break, Cawfee delivers on every level. Highly recommended!

Visited for the first time over the weekend. Really enjoyed my flat white. As stated by other reviewers, the staff were very welcoming and created a friendly and cosy atmosphere. Nice fresh flowers decorate and add to the warm vibe. Great addition to the neighborhood

I join those who fell in love with this little gem, which is a speciality cafe, with only little to offer besides fine cafe, service, location, and vibe. It's recommended for cafe lovers Besides cafe, that have a few pantries (croissants etc.), most of which are made of plant based sources. See images. While I understand (from other reviews) that they use speciality cafe beans, I'm not that of a connoisseur to know the difference. It's clear though that they know what they are doing! Enjoy

Met for lunch with an old colleague. We wanted somewhere near the Elizabeth Line Station at Farringdon. So took a walk. We liked the cushions and bench outside and thought lets try this. Well all I can say is we weren't disappointed. I have a Haloumi bowl and my colleagues a haloumi wrap, I had a kale fruit shake and he had the berry one. The food was plentysome, good value and amazing as were the shakes. We'll be back.

Very friendly staff! It was a warm Friday and I wanted to work remotely at a coffee shop, the staff was super friendly and I made my order. She was really happy I worked there and she provided me the WiFi details. The coffee was smooth and the apricot pastry was delicious. I will definitely go back for more!
