chapter72 in Southwark

Ordered a matcha latte - the first few sips felt like sand, after that just hot milk. Avoid.

Outstanding flat white , spot on tarta de nata very delicious date and hazelnut cake . Friendly efficient and welcoming team . We loved this place we will be back for the cocktail vibe real soon .

If you’re on a mission to find the best espresso martinis in London, cancel your plans and get yourself to Chapter 72—this place is a total vibe. The drinks? Out-of-this-world delicious. Smooth, rich, perfectly balanced—like your favourite barista met your cheeky weekend self and made magic happen in a glass. But wait… it gets better. Eli is an absolute star! Fabulous, friendly, and full of energy—she made the night feel like a party we never wanted to end. Her recommendations? Spot on. Her energy? Immaculate. Honestly, she’s the kind of person who makes a great night unforgettable. Whether you’re out with friends or just popping in for a cheeky cocktail (or three), Chapter 72 nails the mood, the mixology, and the music. Five stars all the way. Can’t wait to go back!

I came here with group of my friends, had a great time, really liked the espresso martinis and moscow mule

The coffee is delicious, and they have a great selection of espresso martinis with different flavours

Great music and atmosphere. Lovely staff and amazing cocktails my new spot!!!

The best iced americano I have had. The coffee is great, but most importantly, they shake the espresso with ice before pouring it in the cup. So it’s ACTUALLY ice cold, rather than like warm like you get with pretty much every other coffee shop. Such a joy on a hot day!

If there is a table of three almost drunk girls at a table it may feel very loud and loud. If not the music is nice, acoustics are ok. The classic espresso martini is good. Havent tried any other cocktails yet so we shall see. For the night people, there is a big runners group at least once a week at around 8 - i guess-

Working here for a month and found the coffee exceptional, the people very kind and the atmosphere inviting, would recommend 👌

The perfect coffee shop in excellent location. The croissants and the coffee was excellent. We will be back. We were visiting from the United States and the food and the service was great.

I loved the food and the staff were very friendly. I will definitely go back there .

Friendly, attentive staff who are knowledgeable about the menu, Minimal wait time for seating and food delivery.

This place is a whole vibe! Loved the cozy setup, good music, and super nice staff. It’s one of those spots you find and instantly wanna tell your friends about.

Cutest little café! Feels like a warm hug with good coffee. Definitely coming back.

Super tasty coffee, both caffeine and decaf. Very friendly staff and overall great atmosphere. Am a regular here!

This cozy spot offers a fantastic variety of coffee and flavors that cater to every palate. Whether you're a fan of classic brews or adventurous specialty drinks, you're sure to find something you love.

Amazing coffee spot! The espresso martini was one of the best I’ve had, the mocha was perfect, and my daughter loved their Macho drink. Great service, super friendly staff—and surprisingly affordable for London. Highly recommend!

Really good Flat White, probably the best I’ve had in a while. The staff were friendly and professional. I’d definitely recommend this place.

I stopped by chapter 72 recently and had a great experience. The atmosphere was cosy and welcoming, with comfortable seating and nice staff. The staff were friendly and quick to take my order. It is a great spot to relax get some work done or relax. I will definitely be coming back.

Quality sandwiches, nice staff and great barista

I was happy with food quality and service

I had a great experience in this place, very warm and professional workers. The variety of coffees is also great. Best of luck to this business.

Has a lovely vibe, relaxed, welcoming, and full of charm.

If you’re looking for a place that serves not only amazing coffee but also wraps you in a warm, welcoming atmosphere, this coffee shop is a must-visit. From the moment you walk in, you’re greeted by friendly, genuine staff who make you feel right at home. Whether you’re grabbing your regular morning brew or settling in for a relaxed afternoon, the vibe here is cozy, inviting, and full of good energy. The coffee is seriously top-notch—rich, smooth, and expertly crafted. You can tell they care about quality with every cup they serve. And if you’re craving something to eat, their pastries are absolutely delicious—flaky, fresh, and perfect alongside your latte. For something more filling, don’t miss the on-the-go paninis. They’re pressed to perfection, packed with flavor, and ideal for a quick but satisfying bite. But the best surprise? Their cocktail menu. Yes, a coffee shop with cocktails—and they do it right. The Porn Star Martini is a standout: balanced, bold, and dangerously easy to love. It’s the kind of drink that turns a casual coffee run into a spontaneous evening out. Whether you’re here for a quiet moment, a catch-up with friends, or a cheeky cocktail after work, this spot delivers every time. Highly

My go-to indy place for coffee since I started a project nearby. Coffee is superb, owner and staff are very friendly and has great vibe. Thoroughly recommended if you are in the area.

Amazing coffee, lovely staff, friendly welcoming people, will be back for sure

I’ve just moved to the area and visited the coffee shop multiple times. I was passing by this morning on my way to work as i unexpectedly started my period. i asked the lady behind the bar if i could use the loo and was told the loo is only for customers. I then explained to this lady, my lady situation, and she told me if i wanted to use the loo i had to buy something. There were four women behind the bar and not one of them offered any help, pretty disgusting behaviour from woman to woman. I will not be visiting again due to the lack of female support.

Hermosa cafetería con gran café, ambiente cálido, servicio amable, sabrosos aperitivos y ambiente perfecto. El ambiente acogedor lo convierte en un lugar perfecto para relajarse o ponerse al día con los amigos. Los baristas son hábiles y siempre hacen el café justo.

Increíble cafetería con un ambiente acogedor, personal amable, deliciosas delicias, y un excelente servicio alrededor. 🤗🥰❤️🤗🥰❤️

Only card payment - couldn't pay by cash and coffee wasn't good

One of my favorite local coffee shops in London! The staff are excited to help and good for a quick chat. There’s a wide assortment of pastries, sausage rolls, and fun-flavored drinks! At night time, the place turns into a cocktail bar and serves some of the best espresso martinis I’ve ever had.

In here pretty much in there every day - great spot for food, coffee and the staff are lovely

Stopped in for a quick breakfast. Coffee had way too much syrup in it, was undrinkable and I had to get them to fix it and even then I could barely drink it. Breakfast sandwich was not good either. The avocado wasn't ripe and the bagel just wasn't good. The baked goods are fine.

Amazing team at chapter 72, i am always greeted with a smile and friendly service

The team at Chapter72 are the friendliest team and the food and drink are amazing!

Chapter 72 is one of my favorite finds in London. The coffee is excellent—smooth, rich, and clearly made with care. I had a piccolo that was perfectly balanced. What really sets this place apart, though, is the atmosphere. It’s cozy without being cramped, with a warm, rustic interior that makes you want to stay longer than you planned. In the evenings, it transforms into a cocktail bar, and their espresso martini is easily one of the best I’ve had in the city—strong, not too sweet, and really well crafted. The staff are friendly and passionate about what they do, and you can tell they care about both the drinks and the customer experience. Whether you're stopping in for a quiet morning coffee or looking for a relaxed place for cocktails in the evening, Chapter 72 delivers. Definitely worth checking out if you're in the Bermondsey area.

Cool little place for cocktails in the evening

Coffee was average but my croissant was stale.We also had to wait at least ten minutes for the coffee and stale croissant to arrive ,very poor service and no apology was offered by the staff. The place seems to be a tourist trap

Visité este café esta mañana con mi familia, el rollo de tocino se quemó, mi hijo tenía tanta hambre que se lo comió en lugar de quejarse. Mi fajita vegana estaba caliente por fuera y fría por el medio, sabía muy seca y generalmente insípida, así que la devolví solo para que me dijeran ‘no tiene nada de malo, solo porque no te gusta, no te voy a dar un reembolso ni te voy a ofrecer nada del mismo valor’. En su lugar me ofrecieron la opción de volver a calentarlo y un poco de salsa para contrarrestar la sequedad! Obviamente, este es un establecimiento donde el cliente siempre se equivoca. Al final me ofrecieron un pastel que es duro como una roca y no es comestible. No volveré y no recomendaría este lugar a nadie. Mi visita al Capítulo 72 arruinó el comienzo de mi día. Recomendaría que su gerente esté capacitado en Servicio al Cliente porque obviamente no valora repetir costumbres.

Visited this cafe this morning with my family, the bacon roll was burnt, my son was so hungry he ate it rather than complaining. My vegan fajita was warm on the outside and cold in the middle, it tasted very dry and generally tasteless so I took it back only to be told ‘there is nothing wrong with it, just because you don’t like it, I’m not going to give you a refund or offer you anything to the same value’. Instead I was offered the option of re-heating it and some sauce to counteract the dryness! This is obviously an establishment where the customer is always wrong. I was offered a pastry in the end which is rock hard and inedible. I won’t be back and would not recommend this place to anyone. My visit to Chapter 72 ruined the start of my day. I would recommend your manager is trained in customer service because she obviously does not value repeat custom.

Lovely bacon roll to start the day.

Encontré esto no muy lejos de la estación del puente de Londres. Hermosa cafetería, tenían un café increíble, que se puede comprar en bolsas. También tuve un queso y tostadas de masa agria de tomate que estaba delicioso! Los precios son razonables para Londres. El personal muy amable

Me gustó el café aquí, pero tenía un dolor de pasas un domingo por la mañana y estaba un poco rancio. Debe ser fresco teniendo en cuenta el precio.

Visited recently and was disappointed by the pastel de nata which tasted stale and noticed staff unloading baked good clearly from the supermarket the guy who seems to be incharge was rude to staff infront of customers. Wont be returning.

The croissant was rock hard. Terrible.

Great spot in the area. Randomly wandered in for an espresso and a pastry, to find out they have all kinds of fun espresso martinis. Super friendly staff. Highly recommend this spot if you are in the area and an espresso martini fan (aka everyone).

Known for espresso martinis and have a variety of them

Their selection of espresso martinis is what brought me in, but the rest of their cocktail menu keeps me coming back. The space is small but cute. The staff is kind and welcoming. Also, wonderful music. Great place it stop in for a cocktail or coffee with friends. Also, great alcohol free options. The Shirley Temple is with ginger beer and is to die for

My go-to for espresso martinis, classic or with a variety of twists. It can get a bit busy/loud in the evenings though.

This was an exceptional place, with fantastic food, service and ambience. A little bit overpriced but the food was very good.

Went there on a Saturday afternoon - they had speakers blasting in a small space (Britney Spears songs), impossible to hear the person I was with. I asked for them to turn it down and they said they could possibly turn it down a bit but not by much. Why do you need loud music on a Saturday afternoon in a Cafe? It's not a nightclub. People go there to talk to the person they are with.

Gave us hot drinks, when we had requested iced. Made us wait extra 5min for this mistake and came to the table charging us extra for the ice. Came for the ice, left hot headed. Side note: great espresso martinis (went on a separate previous occasion)

Lovely place, stopped by for a takeaway flat white on my way to work :)

We had a fantastic experience at their cocktail experience a few weeks ago. Such a great evening, thanks so much.

Amazing pistachio hot chocolate and lovely staff.

Thank you. At last a decent latte. Only had a croissant but had to have a 2nd coffee.

One of my favourite coffee spots in London. Their food is incredible and their coffee is perfect. They also do the absolute best espresso martini.

Excellent espresso martini with a bunch of variations on the menu. Cinnamon one the better of two we had

The coffee is alright. It is more like a pub than a café.

I ordered a take out matcha latte, it is the worst matcha I have had. I suspect that they are serving culinary grade matcha instead or ceremonial grade as this has a fishy taste profile that is unusual and at that is 1g of matcha at best for £3.50. I have had much better matcha in many places to the point I felt that chapter 72 should receive some honest feedback in light of the competition around them on Bermondsey street. From my experience they should use 3-4 grams of matcha powder for a 350ml matcha latte, obviously this has cost implications but just adjust your margins but serve a better product. This should get a better and richer taste, hope this is useful. With the taste of the matcha latte as it stands I will not be revisiting.

Great staff very friendly and good prices for the food and drink quality, their hot chocolate was so rich and creamy and their sausage rolls were something else, never had one like it. They also do alcohol as well and are open till late which is perfect!

Tropieza en este lugar - me encantó! Gran ambiente y cócteles increíbles! Karina nos sirvió y era tan amable y lleno de conocimientos sobre los mejores cócteles. Recomiendo encarecidamente las zarzas de cereza con tequila - delicioso! Mi única queja fue que desearía que el lugar permaneciera abierto más tiempo por la noche!

Coffee was good but not amazing. Wrap and toasties were not great.

Let's make sure to get this place rates up :). We stopped here before going to the Shard. Good lattes for a fair price and loved the cinnamon bun. If I would have had more time I would have tried the stuffed pastries. Charming place.

Great coffee by day and even better cocktails at night.

Busy cafe. Variety of food and drink choices.

Everything about this restaurant is poor. Never going back there. Management are absolutely poor.

A lovely little gem of a coffee shop! Excellent coffee in a cosy atmosphere. The service was quick and the staff were all delightful.

Good coffee and lovely service!

Great food and great service - thanks Andrea!

Had a charming experience. Really enjoyed the atmosphere, service was delightful and the food and drinks were very refreshing. I shall be returning and taking my friends and family there again.

Great Place with brilliant service! I would definitely recommend visiting.

I love this place! Had an amazing flat white today with a really nice chocolate brownie. Great spot in London!!

Lovely place and excellent service😊

Nice place but the manager kicked us out when we were socialising. We bought drinks and food and weren’t even in there for 45 mins before being asked to leave because people were waiting for a table. The staff were great but the manager was rude. It’s a shame because it’s a nice spot.

Really love this place. My go to for the best flat whites in London. suggestions to all have great experiences

We were asked to leave our table after 45 minutes for people waiting in line at the door. Even after reminding the staff we all had ordered food and drinks and had only been there for less than an hour. It’s a shape because the place is nice but didn’t make us feel welcome.

The coffee is fantastic, and the staff are so lovely and welcoming.

Visit this place every Friday morning for Bermondsey street runners running club. The coffee is amazing and the team are very lovely. Very much appreciate how they put up with a big crowd of us! Will keep going back

Very friendly! Great place for a post-run coffee or an espresso martini. Loads of different pastries too! On Friday mornings a local run club meets outside at 7:20 for a friendly 5km run followed by coffee and chats.

Great coffee and friendly staff here! Chapter 72 is also the meeting spot for the neighborhood’s local run club which makes it a very warm and welcoming space. Thank you Ellie and team!

Seriously incredible staff. The food is amazing too!!!

The coffee here is awesome and it has a lovely community feel.

Wicked spot, lovely staff, great coffee and pastries! Really fun area ☕️

I got cinnamon bun, it was very dry. I had much better buns. No napkins. Vibe like in a train station. A lot of stuff and people.

We thought we would make our first visit to this local coffee house /bar. 4 of us arrived for cocktails. To be told we were not welcome as the staff had decided to close early - they had a quiet day. We arrived at 9 - they advertised closing at 10. Honestly as welcome as a bucket of cold sick. And the 4 of us would have boosted their sales considerably. You lost 4 of us and our friends as customers. No wonder you are quiet.

Pensamos que probaríamos este bar / cafetería local por primera vez. Llegamos a las 9 - el horario de cierre se anunciaba como 10. 30 ¡Ser bienvenido como un cubo de enfermos de frío! Habían decidido que eran demasiado silenciosos para permanecer abiertos, así que no querían nuestra costumbre. Honestamente un servicio horrible. No volveremos. Y nosotros cuatro habríamos aumentado sus ventas considerablemente.

This is a stones throw away from my house and Its one of mine and my partner's favourite places to visit. Especially for a cocktail. The apple pie martini is my favourite. The music is always on point. I was here with a group of 7 of us the other day and it was perfect, we had a great time.The staff are always amazing. Also great for a coffee and breakfast. And dog friendly. Staff are always great. We have a favourite staff member. When I find out her name I'll post because she deserves the recognition always smiling, always so helpful. Karina 🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾

We had literally just finished our coffees this afternoon when an older barista came over and asked us to leave because there were others waiting to sit. Whilst we appreciate that the café was busy, we had literally just finished our coffees. We hadn’t even finished our croissants. This just feels like really rude business practice.

Las bebidas estaban bien, el personal era grosero. El baño era una zona de construcción. Trabajo en la construcción y he visto mejores estándares. Las paredes estaban semiembaldosadas, no había papel higiénico ni fregadero y ni siquiera estaban emplumados y se metieron en un balde. Cuando informé a mis amigos el personal me sobrepasó y fue extremadamente grosero. Tampoco nos dejó dividir la cuenta. No volveremos.

The place is AMAZING! Very vibey and so fun, so fun to go with friends or family or both and the drinks are so so nice.

It was amazing and really delicious.

So happy I stumbled and found this little gem. My cappuccino was delicious, and the team are so friendly.

Lovely little coffee shop on Bermondsey street. Service was excellent, as was the Tuna Toastie.

Amazing vibes! Amazing staff! You have to get the espresso martini. Going to come back for breakfast!!! 🙌

Thank you Elham, Roya and all the team, I had a beautiful time and amazing service, will definitely return. Leaving aside the 10/10 Coffee, their Espresso Martinis are otherwordly!

Un café realmente encantador con muy buen café. Conocimos a la dueña y su hermana y ambos eran tan amables y amables. ¡Gracias!

Really lovely cafe with great coffee. The atmosphere and service were brilliant. We met the owner and her sister and they were both so friendly and kind!

outstanding customer service and amazing flat white, the cinnamon roll was delicious, will be back soon

Very unwelcoming staff and overall not a nice place to enjoy a coffee. Would not recommend. Coffee also tastes burnt and bitter.
