For The Caffeine Fiends

Store Street Espresso – Tally D

It's nearly winter and as the cold chill creeps in, we're all heading inside for a warm cup of Joe. Can't cope without your morning caffeine? Ignore the rush and take five — these places have lattes (and espresso and more) to be late for.

Kaffeine 142 reviews Fitzrovia  66 Great Titchfield Street, London  Coffee & Tea Shops “I love this little coffee shop. In a lot of ways it reminds me of my fave little cafes back home in Sydney but with a touch of London cool. For starters, they speak antipodean coffee language and their coffee tastes amazing, to boot!”  Leah J., London

Shoreditch Grind 86 reviews Barbican  213 Old Street, London  Coffee & Tea Shops, Cocktail Bars “I love every single one of the 'Grinds' around London. They have found the winning formula for great coffee and a great shop to match. They seem to be popping up all over the place recently... but haven't lost their stand out, great quality.”  Elle J., London

Foxcroft and Ginger 76 reviews Soho  3 Berwick Street, London  Coffee & Tea Shops, Bakeries, Pizza “They make great coffee, they're nice people, and there's lots of places to sit (more seating downstairs). Also, tap water you can grab from the side makes this an all round easy, comfortable, and tasty coffee experience.”  Sam G., London

Store Street Espresso 49 reviews Bloomsbury  40 Store Street, London  Coffee & Tea Shops, Bakeries “This time I tried something new, their matcha latte with a matcha cookie. Wow, do I wish I had known about this last year. Impeccable technique both in elevating the matcha flavour and the milk was frothed perfectly... not to be missed!”  Tally D., London

Notes 73 reviews Covent Garden  31 St Martin's Lane, London  Coffee & Tea Shops, Cake Shop & Patisserie Shops, Wine Bars “Like its sister cafe on the other side of Covent Garden it does great coffee! Also realised it does matcha lattes, which I am a great fan of, but hadn't realised until I had already ordered, so will have to try it next time. Lovely coffee place.”  Celia R., London

What's doughy, savoury or sweet, downright delectable, and just not the same without a gaping hole in the centre? Freshly baked bagels of course! Whether you slather yours with cream cheese, load on the butter, or layer it with salmon, get ready to rock with a ring of plump perfection. Check out these beautiful bagels!

Beigel Bake 302 reviews Brick Lane  159 Brick Lane, London  Bakeries, Bagels “I've never had more than the Nutella bagel, which for 99p is an absolute steal! The bagels are probably as good as those I've eaten (copious amounts of) in New York. They're chewy, fresh out the oven circles of pure joy.”  Elle J., London

The Happening Bagel Bakery 28 reviews Finsbury Park  284A Seven Sisters Road, London  Bakeries, Bagels “I always have a classic cream cheese bagel there and it is always amazing. I really should branch out and try other things but it's just so delicious! ... A great local bakery with bagels that I would walk much further for.”  Rachael H., London

Delancey & Co 9 reviews Fitzrovia  No 34 Goodge Street, London  Sandwiches “Well, this place definitely hits the mark! I'm always looking for a decent sandwich where they pile the meat high. Turkey bagel was so good and they have pickled red cabbage... They're most popular for the salt beef... I'm very sure you'd enjoy.”  Lora S., London

Bagel on the Park 4 reviews Homerton  105 Gore Road, London  Bagels, Coffee & Tea Shops, Cafes “Go for a coffee or the lovely bagels. My fave is tuna and mayo. You will love them... The bagels are soft, stuffed with your fave filling, and cheaper than a bag of chips from across the road. Happy days.”  Has S., London

Beigel Shop 65 reviews Brick Lane  155 Brick Lane, London  Bagels, Bakeries “We had to try the famous salt beef bagel and it was quite tasty — lots of delicious salt beef, a smear of spicy mustard, and some pickles... The flavours worked really nicely with the salty and spicy beef and mustard.”  Caitrin O., London
