Scootercaffè (formerly Scooterworks) breaks with London conventions. Instead of Square Mile or Monmouth, the bean of choice is Londinium. A La Marzocco is shunned for a strikingly retro 1957 Faema espresso machine. And though owner Craig O'Dwyer is a Kiwi, the air of Scootercaffè is old-school Italian. We ordered a latte, which was simple with whispers of toffee and cooking chocolate; milk was creamily textured and served at the right temperature. The espresso was light yet robust with unusual flavours, such as anise, liquorice and grapefruit. The space is also open late serving beers and spirits, as it is licensed and has a well-stocked bar.

After reading all these wonderful reviews I went out of my way to visit this cafe. As I entered my first thought was that this place looks super interesting as the reviews described.

Unfortunately the service I received was pretty bad. The cafe was quite quiet. I stood at the till waiting to order my coffee while the barista, who stood behind the counter, simly chatted to someone for a while. She knew I was waiting and didn't even acknowledge me or apologise for keeping me waiting. When she finally got round to it she simply took my order whilst continuing the conversation with the other person. It is a shame really because the coffee was good.

Really cosy little place, two floors, chilled vibe. Had a small selection of bottled beers, only one option when i asked for red wine, a cabernet sauvignon but it was lovely. The staff member serving drinks was really friendly. They don't serve food. Funky decor. Would definatley recommend.
