Amazing atmosphere, best matcha latte ever, friendly baristas and awesome music choices! And how they treated and decorated for Halloween vibe today is just another level. Turned me into a regular visitor 🥰🔥🎃

I really like the coffee and matcha latte. The interior design is nice as well. But unfortunately the music is too loud, it’s hard to relax there or have a proper conversation. I organise socials after my dance classes and I used to come every Saturday with a group of girls (4-6 of us). Last time I asked the barista to turn down the music a little bit and she refused. We were the only visitors there at that time. The barista said something about the cafe policy and that in other cafes the music is even louder. I didn’t get it at all. Unfortunately I have to choose another much quieter cafe to go with my group. It’s impossible to speak without shouting there. Quite annoying.

I am in shock. This used to be my favourite cafe in this area. It used to be so cool, the staff was great, I had bought some of the merch and was a huge fan. Also - Great coffee btw… I came here to have a pastry and a coffee and do an hours works with my laptop but I simply could not endure being in here, I really tried but its just so so so so awful. This is not the cafe with chill and cool vibe that it used to be. 3pm on a Tuesday - they are playing music super loud, basically like a club (not exaggerating) - my apple watch was sending me hearing warning notifications. The “music” is also a form of torture - it was a PITBULL playlist, like the shittiest “music” one could ever imagine. You couldn’t find a space to sit before and now it’s super empty - no wonder! They cannot be possibly enjoying this I almost think its to scare people away. It is AWFUL, I am genuinely heartbroken over how they have turned one of my fav cafes in London to this… Its sad! I had to leave this was unbearable!

Popped into Goswell Road Coffee Shop last week and was met by really helpful and friendly staff. There was an incredible selection of delicious vegan sandwiches and cakes. Would absolutely recommend to someone who follows a plant based diet! The coffee was great too, fantastic price in London! I ordered a second. The interior was lovely, I loved the different sets of tables, chairs and sofas.

Coffee is very hit of miss. Sometimes it’s great, sometimes it’s burnt and bitter. Suggest the staff sample it each morning, on a few occasions it was so bad I had to throw it away! Coffee used to be consistently great so not sure what changed.

disgusting staff, lots of unrequested comments and even mocked by the short blonde barista. I got up and left after i ordered without collecting my order as comments and giggles didn’t stop even when we sat down and they made my partner very uncomfortable. For an “inclusive” cafe we expected nicer people and better service rather than being spoken to in disgust and little to no hospitality.

Best cafe in Clerkenwell. The coffee is the best I've had outside of Melbourne (where it's a religion) and the staff are unbelievably friendly and kind (they always say hello and have a treat for my dog Jaxon). Food is scrumptious and it's set up well if you want to work from there.

On the day I went in I was “greeted” by arrogant, uncommunicative staff too busy looking at their phones to serve you with any kind of civility. They didn’t even bring the coffee or the food to the table when it was not busy and harder not to do it than actually do it. Again they were too busy looking at their phones. A black coffee, a flat white and two small sausage rolls for £18 all served with a look of distain. In fairness I saw them treat some people with dogs in a friendly manner, which was nice to see, just not some of the human customers, and the sausage rolls and chutney were good, but once again a place with people working in it that seemingly couldn’t care less about their attitude. And please put your phones down and look at people when they are giving you their business and their money is paying your wages. It is just the friendly and decent thing to do. There is no pleasure in writing a bad review, but there is also no pleasure in going in to a place for a nice time and being treated like they are doing you an unwanted favour. I’m so tired of giving money to people with a terrible, unfriendly, attitude.

It's almost perfect. Couches, plenty of space, decent coffee, free WiFi, charging ports... The ultimate place to work/study. However, they blast terrible, obnoxious music the entire time. Why. No one wants to listen to some energetic trap or reggaeton while they are trying to work. Put on some background music, elevator jazz or something at a low volume, let people hear themselves think. Would be 5 star of they changed this.

Some advice: 1. if you close at 6, at 5:30 only serve takeaways. 2. Take down the anti Tory poster in the window. You are the Tories.

Like many others I popped in here before embarking on the arduous task of submitting my application for an Indian visa at VFS Global a few doors away. I was very impressed with the coffee and so had a second, and this time ordered food - a vegan sausage roll and an orange-flavoured cake of some kind. Both items were absolutely delicious and pretty good value for London. They were enough to last me the three hour wait at VFS Global and my trip home.

Here with my parents, both of whom are disabled. We came to get our visas for a trip to India (to do a ceremony for my sister, she passed away from illness in December 2022). This place is the best coffee shop I've visited in England, and I was born in England. Where I live, my parents and I are consistenly discriminated. Here we were treated with dignity, as equitable humans. It is refreshingly lovely here, we had no "colonial gendered race tax" to pay here - thank you so much for this place. I wish there were more places and people like here!

I can always vibe with the messages and values in this place, there is always something to keep your brain occupied in here whether that be the neon lights, Boris bands, reading the C**T mugs or trying out all the different sofas haha! This is the most unique coffee shop you will find in London, I have been coming here for my Vanilla Latte’s for over 6 years and have not found a better vibe anywhere else. The staff are brilliant and are always on hand. The sofas are great and the high ceilings really add to the shops character.

Simply popped in to buy a sandwich on route to work. Due to inefficiencies of the staff behind the counter, there was a laid back attitude to serving people promptly and it was taking forever to process people's orders. I waited nearly 15 minutes to make my purchase, while coffee was brewed for 3 or 4 people in front of me. Total disrespect for those waiting, no apologies for the delay. When I asked simply to pay for my sandwich, quite exasperated at this point, I was told to wait while the assistant (smirking) loaded up the coffee machine with beans. By the time I left, the queue was out of the door. Pathetic!

Really awesome atmosphere with fluffy warm croissants and other premium pastry. Why have you got terrible staff? These guys will lose you customers very quickly. I ordered a flat white coffee, and I was given a coffee that tasted like microwaved milk with a shot of espresso and he put chocolate on top. Clearly this guy isn't a trained barista. Also, if I eat in, you normally serve coffee in a proper cup and not a paper cup. There were a few other customers who came in and tried to buy stuff but your employees were not there for over 10 mins and so they left. Employ well trained baristas who also are excellent at being hospitable and Temptations will rock.

Three Course has changed food and concept without amending the website. Now it's a short menu of burgers and ribs instead of simple, fresh Scandinavian style. Cooking was atrocious even for the new simplified food. A veal chop cooked to leather. Soft shell burger squidgy and unpleasant. No sides or veg or salads. The "chef" simply can't cook. You have the feeling they are running this place by the seat of their pants - economically that is. David, the very nice and embarrassed manager, told us the owner had gone to work in another restaurant. Other customers have complained that it isn't what they expected. On the plus side, the interior decor is quirky and appealing and the wine list has some delicious, well-priced labels but, on the basis of our experience, it's unlikely to stay open much longer.

Lovely little place, only thing is there is a no laptops rule throughout the entire day. The blonde lady who explained this to me was quite rude, as if me asking if I could do a bit of work in their cafe was preposterous. And they had the audacity to charge me service charge on buying a pastry, which made my pistachio bun £5.06. I was in there for about 45 mins with a friend.
