Calling all coffee lovers! Us Londoner’s absolutely love a cup of the strong stuff, with bright and colourful pours, impressive coffee art, and some of the most insta-worthy cups of coffee around. Read on for our top recommendations…
1. Aida
If you think AIDA’s just another one of your typical stores in Shoreditch, then think again. This hidden-gem, concept store has an in-shop cafe filled with long wooden seats, home-baked treats, and instagrammable, speciality lattes. Choose from Matcha, Turmeric, Chai, or their best-selling Rose Latte with rose syrup and organic beetroot juice, topped with dry rose petals.
Location: 133 Shoreditch High St, London E1 6JE
2. Coffee Addict
Who doesn’t enjoy coffee with a side of fluffy Japanese pancakes? This pretty-in-pink coffee shop is as stylish as its pours, with lush flower walls, neon furniture, and an aesthetically-pleasing brunch. Grab a plate of jiggling, souffle pancakes and sip on one of their super lattes like Ruby Rose, Tiramisu, Butterfly Matcha, Korean Strawberry, Spicy Chai, and more - the options are endless.
Location: 324 Vauxhall Bridge Rd, London SW1P 1NH
3. Blank Street Coffee
A pistachio-green coloured coffee shop that offers dreamy, seasonal specials that are as delicious as they look.

4. The Penny Drop
Brought all the way to London from Melbourne, The Penny Drop is a warm and friendly coffee shop with a modern twist on the city’s coffee scene.

Location: 20 Cleveland St, London W1T 4JA
7. Tsujiri
Green and pink are the unofficial colours of this insta-worthy, matcha house. With a 155-year-old legacy in Japan, this Chinatown gem serves up some of the best desserts, teas, and lattes around.
