Comedic duo Lee Hart and Jeremy Challender (co-director of Prufrock Coffee in Shoreditch) man the stall at pitch 42 of Whitecross Street Market. The equipment is serious - a La Marzocco machine and two grinders (an Anfim and a Mazzer Super Jolly) are lugged here daily. Their recommended flat white is lusciously silky and topped with flawless art; a single espresso is also just lovely. The blend is Square Mile's winter espresso (a balanced combination of Brazilian and Ethiopian beans), and this time there were striking notes of orange oil and a commendable mellowness and length in the finish.

Really good coffee, but breathtakingly blase approach to customer service. Perhaps the barisita's should conduct their tasting sessions and meetings somewhere other than the serving counter, or if they must then try to be more mindful of the customer.
