Store Street Espresso

One of the best places, that combines both good coffee and good atmosphere to read/work, I've found so far in London. Will come back again.

Great coffee, friendly and knowledgeable baristas. Gets busy often, but pleasant to sit inside or outside.

Okay coffee but delicious pastries !! Cute and calm spot as well with many tables indoors and some outdoors seats as well :)

I was cleaning out an old suitcase and came across a business card from a trip to London a few years ago. This is my best friends favorite coffee shop, and when I visited him, he insisted we stop here. When I found the business card, it made me so happy, as I think so warmly of this lovely spot.

We stopped in for a drink several times during my trip in London. The user uploaded photos here just do not do it justice. When I think of the quintessential London coffee shop, they always come to mind. I love the clean lines, modern vibes and sweeping natural daylight that floods inside. If I remember correctly, when I visited, they even have outdoor seating.

I'm a tea drinker, but my best friend ordered the espresso, his usual, as I enjoyed a tea and a croissant. We sat here several days in a row and just read the paper. I recall friendly staff and a great atmosphere. I hope we make it back here again some day!

This place is GASSSS! I suggest the eggs with maple bacon on sourdough toast. You have to add cheese to it of course! Great music and atmosphere too!

This is a really cool and chic Barista coffee house in central London, really near UCL and Euston station. The coffee here is high quality, good tasting and strong that would please any coffee veteran, but probably would not appeal to those who prefer large Starbucks style coffees. However, for a short quality brew or a strong Espresso, Store Street is great. Also, they do matcha tea and matcha lattes as well as a variety of desserts and some light lunch options.

The atmosphere is pretty chill, a tad hippy with many students on Macbooks. Grey interior, small enough inside but still a decent number of seats. There is a loyalty card and prices are average.

The downside is that it gets crowded during university times, and WiFi is via BT where you either need to be a BT customer to use free or pay. The cafe didn't seem to have their own free wifi though.

A quaint cafe near my old uni UCL that makes me wonder why didn't we have such nice cafes near school back then!

It's quite crowded during rush hours but if you get a seat, it's a lovely cafe to sit down and read under the natural daylight.

For my visit today, I ordered a Cappuccino £2.80 and Matcha White Chocolate Cookie £2.40. The Cappuccino was very nice (people come here for the coffee) and the Cookie was a tad too crumbly but still delicious.

Like others have said, Store Street serves coffee for people who like coffee - it can be bitter and/or strong for those uninitiated into the coffee club.

Pros:
- outdoor seating
- friendly service
- quiet street near UCL, British Library, etc

Cons:
- wifi is off from 11am-4pm (allegedly, didn't witness this myself)
- up charge for non-diary milks (boo!)

Overall, a nice spot to recharge.

I used to frequent this place like it was going to close. It was a great place to for good coffee and goat cheese sammies.

Not to far from campus, it was great place to duck in and drink some coffee until it was respectable enough an hour to go over to the pub across the street. And with all the rain we had in London that year, you would find me many times at the corner table hunched over a table with a flat white from my favourite Australian.

Sadly, they got so popular it was hard to find a spot just on a whim after a while. Sadly for me, not for the guys that is.

I also followed them on twitter, so it was good to know what fun things were being sold for the day as well.

Miss it a lot.

Stopped here with my momma for a quick coffee break. She asked me where the best coffee was in London and I immediately thought of Store Street. I'm still in love with their craft, the space, and the location of the cafe. We managed to find a seat inside and had a lovely time relaxing with our drinks.

This time I tried something new, their matcha latte with a matcha cookie. WOW do I wish I had known about this last year. Impeccable technique both in elevating the matcha flavour and the milk was frothed perfectly. I'm very picky with this as I find some places don't do the flavour justice but this is not one of them. The matcha cookie was good too, although very dense in the centre and more crumbly than anticipated. But together they were a perfect pairing. Matcha overload!

I recommended this coffee shop before and I will do so again. They simply amazing and not to be missed!
