Prufrock Coffee in Camden

They have real paper menus now, thank you!!!!!!! I hate QR code menus 😞

I didn't try the food, but both coffees I had were amazing. I wouldn't want to have coffee anywhere else while in London

Friendly and cosy! We really enjoyed the coffee! Staff were very attentive and it was easy to catch their eye if needed. I also love the concept of two separate queues, one for take out and one for sitting in. It's amazing they have found the balance between effiency and providing a cosy relaxing atmosphere.

Excellent. Great vibe, great location, and most of all, terrific staff. I had it on 4* (only because they favour Colombian blends, which are not my favourite, 5* spot otherwise) but my experience today gives it the deserved extra star. Will be back soon enough.

Great coffee selection, the staff is very knowledgeable about their beans. Food was not as exciting, the cinnamon roll was dry and looked like it was left over from the day before.

What can I say. I had one of the most memorable and wholesome experiences here at Prufrock, all credit to the wonderful staff -Charlie, River and Jan, who went above and beyond. Back in 2021, I did my Barista Foundation course here and fast forward to 2025, Prufrock continues to flourish and show how exceptional service from passionate individuals can make the experience as wonderful and truly special. Staff were attentive and tailored the experience, always a keen eye for details and caring for their customers. There is no secret to Prufrock’s success other than investing in their team members to serve people and showcase coffee and food to the highest quality. Thank you so much to all the staff for one of the best experiences, and wish all the success and continued growth in years to come.

Absolutely loved this place! Amazing coffee (great quality beans available), fantastic food and lovely cakes. Best brunch I had in a long time. Staff was beyond friendly, didn’t rush us, gave helpful recommendations and checked on us often. Place was packed on Sunday lunchtime, but worth the wait.

Very nice place to have breakfast, coffee, lunch. Friendly people!

Excellent coffee. Service is quick. It’s a bit loud inside but lovely interior. Good experience overall!

Superb coffee and croissant. Excellent service from everyone. Shame about the level of noise!

I was charged £3.50 for a takeaway cup of tea, size of 200 ml. - a size of a small coffee. What an absolute rip off! For this price you should at least give 350 ml. Shame I heard good things.

What a lovely experience at this place. The staff greeted me at arrival and continued to let me know the status of a table. The food was excellent and they could accommodate my dietary preferences. Of course the coffee was phenomenal. I had an oat flat white that was smooth. I even bought some coffee beans for home and it has been a nice treat in the morning.

🥚 🍄 🍞 + ☕ =👌 Great spot, favourite breakfast and coffee in London

Great tasting coffee and service Popped in for a takeaway coffee and a bag of beans. Staff are super knowledgeable and helpful. My takeaway cost about the same as a pret coffee, but was hands down better than Monmouth or any of the other local coffee shops I’ve tried. ++ would recommend

I had a coffee which for a self proclaimed coffee snob, says a lot! It could have been slightly hotter though. The vibes were so nice, very attentive and friendly service. They also allow laptops for working. The food was also really good!

Excellent coffee & brilliant music all day long. Totally worth the trip, do give this place a chance, it is lovely !

I tried the lemon cake with the 3 types of speciality coffee it’s really good! 👍♥️

The coffee was brewed professionally with a great taste

One of the nicest coffees I've tried! Nice place, very kind and cheerful staff! The hazelnut croissant is delicious!

As expected, had a really nice coffee here with a ham & cheese croissant. It was good but service was tediously slow and lots of drinks were sat waiting to be taken out.

Maybe the best Coffee Shop I have ever been to.

We really liked it, a lot of effort is put into both the service and the kitchen. Really very very nice staff. What we missed, however, was a high chair.

This place lives upto its reviews. They make great coffee! If you like a cup of fancy bean pour over sort of coffee, they definitely know how to make a great cup of it.

Great coffee and very friendly staff. When we got there on a Sunday with a group of 4 at 10.30 am we were told about 40min waiting time, but the waiter offered us instead to stay at one one standing table next to the windows and we still got to enjoy our coffee :)

Great coffee, nice pastries, vegan options. Very clean! The service was great. Free water. Nice interior. We recommend

Best coffee I had in London 10/10 Both the staffs and atmosphere was very energetic! Although very busy, we were able to get our orders fast. Would recommend for any coffee enthusiasts out there. Lots of love from Thailand 🇹🇭

Excellent coffee, top class service and their breakfast roll is a thing of dreams!! Well done Team Prufrock!

Nice Sunday coincidence. We found a comfortable atmosphere and exquisite coffee. In addition to the most pleasant staff. The food pleasantly surprised us. Without a doubt, it is worth it.

Excellent, well balanced, coffees and a well run service. We also attended an espresso brewing class here and it was really well taught with a nice mix of practical and theoretical teaching.

We went as a group of four and ordered different types of drinks. Coffees with milk were quite nice, but the ones without milk were extremely sour. We had high expectations considering that this is James Hoffmann's place, therefore quite disappointed.

Great food, amazing coffee, very friendly staff, a great place to chill or work. The only thing missing? A WIFI connection ;)

Coffee meant to be enjoyed with good conversation.

Great coffee, nice pastries, vegan options. Very clean! The service was great. Free water. Nice interior. We recommend

One of the best coffees ever. The cortado and especially the filter coffee are recommended

Amazing coffee ☕️, brilliant atmosphere 😍 and very friendly service 👌!!

Spent £7.50 for a (tiny) flat white and a £4 cinnamon bun. Flat white was good but very small. The cinnamon bun was definitely sitting there for a while and charging £4 for it it's just a plain face robbery.

¡Nunca hemos visto un Benedicto del Huevo tan generoso! Charlie, que nos sirvió, fue amable y eficiente, y espero que sea reconocido como tal por sus colegas. Como aparte tienen una excelente mercancía. Por último y lo más importante para un café, el café era delicioso.

Nice Sunday coincidence. We found a comfortable atmosphere and exquisite coffee. In addition to the most pleasant staff. The food pleasantly surprised us. Without a doubt, it is worth it.

Great coffee brewed and great food made by experienced professionals in a cozy atmosphere. It’s the first well brewed cup of coffee I ever had that was nothing like the coffee I had before. It’s ruined my clumsily prepared coffee forever and I’ve had to learn to better coffee, since.

Superb coffee and service, however the noise is rather deafening

The place is wonderful I really advise u to go in if u see them

Quality coffee and a tasty almond croissant

Coffee is awesome, baristas happy to chat about coffee. Fantastic retail selection from very well known roasters.

Εxceptional Food and Coffee – A Daily Delight ! We discovered Prufrock Coffee during a recent stay nearby while meeting friends from Berlin and Athens, and it quickly became our daily go-to spot. Everything we tried was outstanding, but the highlight for me was the banana bread. It sounds so simple, yet the flavor was absolutely perfect—moist, perfectly balanced in sweetness, and incredibly satisfying. It’s one of those dishes that you keep thinking about long after you’ve had it. And let’s not forget the coffee—it was absolutely exceptional. Perfectly brewed, rich, and full of flavor. It added the perfect touch to every visit and made our mornings truly special. Υou can truly feel the passion and care that goes into everything they serve. If you’re ever in the area, don’t miss the chance to visit Prufrock Coffee. It’s a hidden gem that we’ll remember fondly and look forward to revisiting whenever we’re back in town !

If you love Arabica in all its nuances you can't help but come here for a good meal but above all for an excellent espresso or filtrate! Not to be missed

Worst service. You have to ask several times to get water and bill.

Lovely coffee and the best service I’ve ever had at any hospitality place in London by a wide margin

El café estaba bien. Pero el servicio fue un poco raro. En lugar de pedir en el mostrador había un 'greeter' que tomó mi orden y luego me indicó que pagara. Y rápidamente me dijo que me parara a un lado. Mientras esperaba que mi discapacidad comenzara a afectarme y me doliera la pierna, miré a mi alrededor en busca de una silla o taburete pero no había ninguno. Intenté contactar visualmente a este tipo con la esperanza de que me ofreciera un asiento, ya que no estaba ocupado. Pero no, eligió ignorar mi malestar. Terminé apoyándome contra una especie de estantería. Una vez que mi bebida estuvo lista tuve que preguntar dónde estaba el azúcar. Fui al lugar donde estaba y un miembro del personal me miró quizzicalmente y preguntó '¿estás bien?' erm, sí, sólo estoy tomando un poco de azúcar. Me hizo sentir como si estuviera en el lugar equivocado o algo así. ¿Trataron de hacerme usar una cuchara de metal para agregar mi azúcar y revolverla en una taza para llevar? Pedí una cuchara desechable y me la dieron, pero no sin echarme un vistazo a decir que había pedido la luna en un palo. Solo había una extraña manera de cómo el personal trató conmigo que nunca antes había sentido cuando simplemente compré un café. Por alguna razón no me sentí bienvenido. No sé por qué. Pero probablemente preferiría gastar 3 libras. 50 en un café pequeño en algún lugar menos pretencioso.

The place is one giant queue. The staff are not present and are fine shuffling you to wait in the rain. The Benny bacon is more fat than anything.

Good [morning/afternoon], everyone! Today, I want to share my experience at Prufrock Coffee, a place that has truly redefined what a coffee shop experience should be.

A nice and cozy atmosphere with the best eggs and toast I've had.

Hello! Please, be aware that there are scammers who are using your name. They ask to rate your coffee shop 5 stars and promise 500£ 😂

A pleasant and very warm place, respect to the staff!!!

My coffee was burnt and service was slow. my patty tasted old. However, staff was friendly & it’s a nice location.

great service, staff were really nice and welcoming, the food was amazing and coffee was great best i have paid for in a while, inside the shop was beautiful with good music.

A great spot for brunch with a lively atmosphere. The price is alright, the sandwiches are exceptionally fresh, and the pastries are delicious. I really enjoyed the experience.

Am impressed with this shop. I like it.

I can whole heartedly say this is one of the best coffee shops in the london area!!! The atmosphere, the service the food … everything about the experience was fantastic - i would really recommend this to anyone wanting a cuppa.

We were greeted right as we walked in and got a great table where we could see the beautiful market outside. We had 2 pour overs and the guest espresso from Kawa (we had just visited Kawa the week before!). The service was excellent and the coffees were a treat. We also were allowed to sit and work for a few hours which was a gift to us since we needed to get a few emails out.

Prufrock coffee has become my to go spot for a great cup of coffee, a productive afternoon, casual hangouts.

been wanting to come here for a while, and it didn't disappoint. great coffee, really good food, but most of all impeccable service. even during a busy saturday rush everything is well organized, staff is super friendly and everything just flows. came here a couple of times during my stay in london and loved it every single time.

Excellent Gravlax Toast, Nice staff

Brilliant place lovely atmosphere

A national institution? Prufrock has been one of the best coffees in the UK, forever now. And thats a testimony to the fantastic hospitable staff and great back of house processes.

Unbeatable Super recommended A unique experience with coffee

The best coffee shop I have been to

Amazing place to eat and have a coffee

Coffee was above the average but the waiting time to get it was unbelievable

Fantastic coffee shop, great staff and delicious coffee

Mixed experience, today it was a 10 min wait and £3.50 for a very average flat white! Not worth the premium on time or money

2 vegan cakes. The banana raspberry I took was really nice

I recently visited Prufrock coffe and it instantly became one of my favorite spots in town. From the moment you step inside, the welcoming aroma of freshly brewed coffee and the warm, inviting atmosphere set the tone for a perfect experience. The decor is cozy and charming, with plenty of natural light streaming through the windows and comfortable seating options to suit any mood. Whether you're there to work, catch up with friends, or just savor some quality "me time," the ambiance is ideal.

It’s very 👌 good cofe Good job 👍

Nice spacious cafe with great coffee

There is a nice atmosphere, and the coffee is delicious. We waited a little longer because they decided to make a new filter coffee, so I will say they definitely want to provide quality.

It really is better coffee than your star$ or equivalent, by far!

Some of the best coffee in Central London, and you've got to love the Prufrock breakfast bun.

I've had the best oat flat white in a long while! The food was delicious 😋 I'll be visiting this cafe every time I'm in London and I'm in the are.

I had breakfast here. I didn't have a reservation. Very kind staff. Very good everything.

Some items taste pretty good, so you can go

Coffee is not bad, but they do missed my order. Let me wait for over half an hour for just one cup of coffee. And most importantly, it’s way too moist in the cafe。Made me so uncomfortable and keeps sweating.

Flat white was really smooth. Almond croissant was excellent. Very friendly staff. Very busy sunday morning. Great atmosphere, will return!

Vish was super awesome and great service!!!

Great coffee, affordable food, and most attentive (but not overbearing) staff I've ever seen

Went there for breakfast. It was nice. Food was good and staff super friendly. For some reason I expected more selection and a higher end experience on the coffee front, but in a way this is to be expected: it’s a very “homey” kind of place where you can keep going back and enjoy a nice cup of coffee

So, second time be here and could finally try the handdrip. This one they call it Summer and I do realize a relative strong sour taste which I like. The taste note does tell it's Ethiopia washed beans with earl grey & candy. Guess my taste buds still don't lie it's from Afrcia. Enjoy! And thank you...

enjoyed the coffee, will try the other stuff next time

Coffee was excellent & great value for London. Will be back. Used to visit back in the day before sessions at Craft Beer Co.

Go to spot for coffee, all the team very friendly and caring <3

They’re currently having some work done inside the place so I got a coffee to go, long black (£3.20) which was delicious and strong. Have previously sat in and enjoyed the food and atmosphere as well. One of the best specialty coffee shops I’ve been to in London.

Beautiful coffees! We went there a couple times for coffee, brunch, and pastries during the time we were in London. My most favourite coffee was one of the day batch brews that go so well with milk! The bacon egg Benedict is amazing too! The cafe can be very busy during the morning rush and have a bit of wait time.

Fui poco después de abrir un domingo por la mañana y realmente disfruté de mi visita. Hacen servicio de mesa. Me alegré de haber llegado poco después de abrir teniendo en cuenta la línea que se desarrolló, aunque hicieron un buen trabajo administrándolo y no haciendo que los clientes se sintieran apresurados. El café estaba delicioso. Me alegró mucho tener dos grandes opciones para el descafeinado filtrado, que puede ser una rareza. Mi café era maravilloso y afrutado y no necesitaba leche ni azúcar. El menú era muy atractivo para el desayuno simple. Tenía los hongos en tostadas. Era completamente delicioso - - el queso era perfecto, los hongos tenían un gran sabor terroso, y la tostada no era demasiado grande de un pedazo (es decir, pan correcto: : proporción de coberturas) y no era demasiado masticable o crujiente. Conseguí un blanco plano más tarde en la comida; también estaba delicioso y muy bien presentado. Todo el personal era agradable y muy servicial. Muy recomendable!

Amazing coffee which the team clearly strives to keep perfect, don't sleep on the food either, unexpectedly delicious for a café. Admittedly a bit busy but never felt as if that was an inconvenience.

A professional and experienced staff really helped make this experience exceed all expectations & the espresso was so good I had to have two!! Extremely jealous of this cafés ability to dial in their espresso.

Secluded location, quiet on Sunday but very in demand. You may have a 10 minute wait. I enjoyed the almond

We only had the coffee, which was excellent. The staff was incredibly polite, and the atmosphere is warm and cozy. However, it was quite busy, and we had to wait around 10-15 minutes for a table. Overall, it’s a lovely spot, but be prepared for a bit of a wait during peak times!

Delicious food and convenient location.

Perfect coffee & food, quick and friendly service, thank you x

Great and polite service. Superb coffee, decent food, but portions are a bit on the smaller side. The music was way too loud + there were some other noises coming from the staff area.

Excellent coffee by people who Know what they’re doing. The coffee was delicious as was the food. We came 60 miles to visit!
