Best New Coffee

  • Espresso Room

    WINNER! Espresso Room

    Rating: 5/5 Bloomsbury, WC1N

    The Espresso Room raises the bar high for London’s growing artisanal coffee scene, and this is the place we’d recommend to get a consistently terrific cup.

  • RUNNER UP: Kaffeine

    Rating: 4/5 Fitzrovia, W1W

    This is the kind of coffee shop that has reminded many an Aussie of home: cheerful, personable service from owner Peter Dore-Smith and his team of baristas ensures that each coffee fiend relaxes over their drink.

  • Victoria Arduino Athena Classic espresso machine

    RUNNER UP: Prufrock Coffee

    Rating: 3/5 Shoreditch, E1

    No-one should pass through Shoreditch without dropping into Prufrock, the winner of our best cup of coffee award earlier this year. Our most recent visit offered surprisingly disappointing coffee, but we’ve had enough great coffees here to know what they’re capable of.

  • RUNNER UP: Tapped & Packed

    Rating: 4/5 Fitzrovia, W1T

    While espresso culture rampaged through London, this Fitzrovia café branched out to offer filtered brews (though they do espresso-based drinks as well). They even do four different brewing methods for filter coffee, including specialist methods such as siphon and Aeropress.
