This top-notch Fitzrovia hangout (previously called Tapped & Packed) remains a coffee-lover’s haven, whether you want espresso-based drinks (Simonelli machine), or brewed coffees made in a drip cone or the increasingly popular Aeropress. Beans are sourced from several roasters including Has Bean and Square Mile.

When we went, the Aeropress specialist was not around. We contented ourselves with a drip Nicaraguan, the drip unrushed and the beans excellent (single-origin, as were both the other filter choices). Sandwiches and baked goods are all made on the premises and reasonably priced.

The decor is plain and attractive: dark wood in the benches, tables and flooring contrasting with the magnolia-hued paint on the walls (which would benefit from a fresh coat). Beans and coffee hardware are sold to take away, and service comes with a big smile and willingness to talk. All in all, we love this place.

How disappointed was I when I got to my desk and saw down to have my toast and coffee. The toast was burnt black, no butter and only a tiny scraping of honey. What a shame as it's usually divine. but today I felt very badly done by.

The coffee is the best I've had in Central London and the service is amazing. All the staff are fantastic! Beautiful shop with loads of lovely one of a kind touches. Such a nice atmosphere and everyone that works there is so friendly and welcoming. I will definitely become a repeat customer due to the amazing ad affordable coffee, and the great service!

The coffee here is great! What lets it down is the staff who are often pretty unwelcoming. Also be warned, there is no mention of Tapped and Packed on the signage or inside (apparently they are anti - branding!) so if you arrange to meet here look for no. 26 on the sign.
