“One of the original Aussie coffee shops”, founded in 2009 by Melburnian Peter Dore-Smith and now with two branches in Fitzrovia serving “fabulous artisanal brews”. They make a “perfect escape from the chain experience of nearby Oxford Street” with their “great service and vibe”, “fresh sandwiches” and “very good lunchtime salads”.

“They go the extra mile” at this Antipodean-style outfit whose “excellent” brews, including “the perfect espresso”, ensure that is “always packed”. Its two “convenient” sites in Fitzrovia make “a great escape not far from the Oxford Street chain experience”, and they serve “decent food (especially by coffee shop standards)”.

“Superb coffee” is backed up by “great breakfast & brunch” at the two Fitzrovia sites of this independent outfit. One of the pioneers of Antipodean coffee culture when it launched a dozen years ago, it is still “as good as ever”.

This “stylish and serious”, coffee-shop operation with two sites in Fitzrovia is “still one of the best independents in London”, 10 years after pioneering modern Antipodean-style coffee culture in the UK. They serve “brilliant coffee” (naturally), “a nice range of pastries” and “excellent sandwiches”, and have a “good vibe at both locations”. “Only the slightly monastic seating lets things down” – and there’s “not enough” of it!

For 33 years we've been curating reviews of the UK's most notable restaurant. In a typical year, diners submit over 50,000 reviews to create the most authoritative restaurant guide in the UK. Each year, the guide is re-written from scratch based on this survey (although for the 2021 edition, reviews are little changed from 2020 as no survey could run for that year).
