This “small, often crowded” independent coffee shop by Soho’s Berwick Street market is a pilgrimage site for caffeine junkies, as the source of Antipodean ‘third wave’ coffee culture in Britain since its 2005 opening. And yes, “the coffee’s very good”.

The original (back in 2005) and, say fans, still “best flat white in London” – this Antipodean-style indie in Soho’s Berwick Street Market has launched imitators on every high street in Britain.

No feedback this year on this cute indie, NZ-scene café in the middle of Berwick Street Market. We continue to include it on the basis that – in 2005 – it introduced London to the ‘Flat White’ and is worth remembering in these parts.

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).
