chapter72 in Southwark

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

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

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

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.

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

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.

Lovely place and excellent service😊

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.

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

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

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.

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

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.

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!!! 🙌

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

It was amazing and really delicious.

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!

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

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!

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

Amazing spot, best place in London Bridge!!

Fantastic bar, highly recommend coming here! Had an amazing time and will for sure be going back :)

Great place, good atmosphere, good for first dates.

Had a great time at Chapter 72! Ellie was absolutely fantastic! She served one of the best (Blood Orange) Negroni I've ever had! Perfectly balanced and expertly crafted. The service was friendly and attentive, and the atmosphere made for a great night out. I’ll definitely be back!

Visited this place with my family and had the best time in it the moment you step in you feel the good vibe Food ,drinks and the staff are amazing and they have a an amazing service Highly recommended ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Chapter 72 is an absolute gem! I had an amazing experience here – the hospitality is unmatched, and the quality of their coffee and croissants is simply outstanding. Every bite and sip felt like pure bliss. Special shoutout to Hamii, who was incredibly kind and attentive, making the visit even more memorable. Highly recommend this spot for anyone looking for a cozy, top-notch café experience in Bermondsey!

Quite nice little coffee shop. Rather busy but comfortable.

Chapter 72 is a true gem for cocktail enthusiasts. From the moment you step in, the ambiance strikes the perfect balance of cozy and chic, setting the tone for an unforgettable experience. The Negroni here is hands down the best I’ve ever had—perfectly balanced with a depth of flavor that lingers in all the right ways. Rod and Ellie and their team , they’re absolutely fantastic! Friendly, knowledgeable, and passionate, they elevate the experience to another level. Whether you’re a cocktail connoisseur or a curious first-timer, they make you feel right at home, guiding you through their impressive menu with ease and charm. Chapter 72 is a must-visit. You’ll leave with a newfound appreciation for expertly crafted cocktails—and probably dreaming about their Negroni!

Walked with my son to take coffee and put my bag on a table by the window so nobody take the table the staff tell me that the table os taken by 2 ladies but there were no reserved on the table and she refused to serve us we felt being discriminate never again in this establishment should be shut down

Best tasting espresso I've had probably in years. Dense, sweet, and brisk. Place is nice af as well. Let's not leave our pastries exposed and uncovered tho, my good people

Such a wide and unique range of hot drinks!! Perfect for the colder seasons

Was en route to another destination but came here instead for cocktails. Lovely random find with chilled vibes.

Flat white was nice. It was quite small, not too comfy if you’re planning to stay there for long.

Nice place but hot chocolate was almost £5 and me and my friends got asked to leave after less than an hour of being there because there were people waiting to be seated. My friend hadn’t even finished her drink. They just want your money and want you to leave.

I've been in this coffee shop . The service was fabulous and the pastries and coffee was delicious.

Karina was amazing! Such great service !! Really friendly and welcoming

One of the best coffee in London

Lovely cocktails, great atmosphere and very friendly staff

Absolutely amazing place with such a friendly and accommodating staff - the sort of place where you want to come again and again - thank you Rod!

Pedí un atún fundido en masa madre £ 7. 20 . El pan se había cortado al mínimo. Era pequeña. El relleno era bueno, pero muy poco. Vergüenza total que te cobren por este pequeño sandwich.

It was like blind selection and we like the outside. But inside this coffee-bar is lovely and more beatiful. Very comfy and cozy, ladies as bartenders are beatiful as well, fast and always with smile. We had pumpkin Latte, hot chocolate and tea and also we tried a meat bun. Everything was perfect. We would definitely recommend this coffee-bar and we love to come back someday.

Great energy, delicious cocktails, a bit of a fly infestation though. An interesting experience lol

Ham and Cheese toasty was good. Lentil soup could have done with a bit more flavour. Plenty of seating available. Dog friendly

Great little cafe. The coffee is excellent, it has a great vibe and the service is incredibly friendly.

Bloody Mary was RyanAir-quality. Unexpected for the price.

Delicious Espresso Martinis Also to Go ❤️ Bacon bap is also really yummy

The cocktail is best and egg and avocado is perfect. Service is good. Everyone is smiling and nice personality. I love it.

Great experience , friendly atmosphere and tasty brunch

The first time I stopped by here I had a nice experience with friendly staff. Although I bought a coke and it was around £2.80 which is a bit steep. However the second time (today), I had a piece of banana bread, which tasted good. Unfortunately however the staff member who served me was very rude. They seemed like they could not be bothered and gave me the the thinnest slice of banana bread possible- for £3.80!! Unfortunately neither myself or my friend would visit again.

£2.60 for one of the worst croissants I've ever had, delivered with appropriately sub-mediocre service. Not horrific but all looks and no substance. Pricey. Tesco's food is better...

Ocupado y bullicioso, este pequeño café ofrece algunos aperitivos sabrosos y un buen café. Optamos por el pan tostado y el bacon bap, ambos con buen aspecto; tomé sopa de lentejas que aunque bastante pequeña estaba muy sabrosa. Cerca de la estación del Puente de Londres y útil si usted está visitando el museo textil cercano. Nos pareció el personal alevines y muy eficiente.

Stumbled across this café by pure chance after visiting White Cube down the road from it. Safe to say I will be returning because the service, atmosphere and food were all wonderful! Ordered a sourdough ham & cheese toastie which was made quickly and tasted phenomenal. I saw on the menu that many latte options are available and I look forward to trying the matcha latte next time! Thank you Chapter 72; see you soon! ❤️

Excellent coffee and breakfast with avocado on toast with egg. A wonderful place to enjoy a good coffee and stare out of the window

Just needed a place to sit down on a Sunday afternoon. Got a roll and a coffee for £8.50. Very average for this part of London. What set this place different is the Atmosphere... First, the music is great and secondly, they don't charge more for eating in... I know you can eat out for cheaper, but are you really going to eat a sausage roll on the pavement??? Finally, the staff here are really into their work, as in they are not standing there waiting for the time to pass.... And they are smiling making coffee. You may just want to come here and check if I am right :)

Great cup of flat white and pecan tart. Chill vibes for short reading and laptop work on a weekday afternoon

Buzzy, nicely done out, friendly staff - but they really need to learn to make a decent flat white (tip: smaller cup, more coffee, less milk)

Just the nicest, unpretentious venue. Really engaging staff, relaxing & just plain & darned good!

Best coffee I've had and the staff are all lovely

the food and drinks were great along with the impeccable service

The service was really good, all the staff are lovely! The food was good!

If you’re happy paying £7.90 for the bacon bap in the pic do visit this place!! Even for london this is ridiculous. Coffee and service were very good though.

A nice place to sit and watch the world go by. If you can find a place to sit outside. The flat white Coffee (we ordered) was good.

Found this coffee shop by walking by one morning, and was positively surprised. The coffee was smooth and the croissant flaky and buttery. Service was also friendly. I enjoyed sitting outside, limited space.

Simply the best coffee on Bermondsey street !!

Fantastic place! Amazing coffee and pastries and even more amazing staff! Great place to go for a morning coffee or drink after office💓

This coffee place has excellent coffee and delicious pastries! The vibes are nice and staff very friendly. Defo recomended
