Helena from London

Store Street Espresso London

Quality Coffee

"A hidden little café, Store Street Espresso serves standout hot coffee, pastries, and beans from top roasters. Take them outside to nearby green spaces!"

In a city filled with coffee chains, it's hard to keep track of the good ones. Store Street Espresso almost blends in with the building wall, and you might miss it on your usual Londoner speed stroll.

They have a selection of pastries you can order along with your coffee, and sell a variety of coffee beans from different Roasters.

Their hot brews are tastier than their iced lattes, and although I'm not a matcha lover, I've heard they make it well. Next to it are a lot of open and green spaces where you can take your order to go and enjoy some time outside (when it's nice out!).
