Sista Barista in Lambeth

A great find. BLT bagel was killer and the coffee was too. Also, coffee was cheaper than back in Nottingham!

Brilliant little cafe near Waterloo Station. The bacon melt bagel was lovely with plenty of filling and well worth the price. Staff are very efficient! Would recommend to try if you are looking for somewhere to grab a quick bite to eat!

Very good cafe a few meters from the hotel where we were staying, small cafeteria where every day we ordered a variety of coffee and pastries, very well attended, the girl was very friendly and the place was very clean and well decorated, but very small.

Popped in for my morning coffee after seeing the good reviews. My oat cappuccino was very disappointing. Bitter and the milk was not frothy.

Their bagels are amazing!!! We had a very nice breakfast here, all the ladies at the counter were very friendly

Amazing little coffee shop, always served with a glowing smile. I had an Oat milk Mocha , with the smoothest coffee I have tried in a long while, along with a delicious Salmon, Cream cheese Bagel. The salmon tasted fresh and served with just the right amount of seasoning. The homemade cakes are the some of the best in London, the Lemon Drizzle should be an award winner

Este es un café increíble. Tuvimos muchas opciones de pasteles veganos y grandes envolturas. Vinimos a almorzar y terminamos teniendo pasteles también. Las hermanas son encantadoras y serviciales. Qué café más guay.

A lucky coincidence that was very surprising. A bit inconspicuous from the outside, but as soon as you enter the small restaurant you know you're in the right place. The bagels tasted great, great, great! Something fresh, really seasoned and delicious... we'll be happy to come back!

Coffee tasted like instant Nescafé rather than Americano we ordered. Bagels even after being toasted had raw dough inside. Salmon was paltry and tasteless. The only thing that was ok was cream cheese, probably because it was store bought.

Takeout sausage cheese melt bagel taste good good and satisfied. Would try another one with coffee next time back ☺️ If there’s an available toilet would be perfect to stay a little while I’m pregnant.

Needed a to grab some lunch and coffee. All day breakfast, smoothie and the halloumi bagel. Delicious

Small and highly recommended cafe, with a personal touch, owned and run by women. Best for take away. Solid menu with some vegan options

Lovely little cafe, stumbled across for a late snack, delicious haloumi bagle and jerk chicke÷²n wrap, so fresh!

Great coffee, bagels and desserts. Went there for breakfast/brunch 3 times during my 1 week trip- that's how good it is

Delicious!! Random find but awesome breakfast!!

Lovely staff, very good coffee and bagels :)

Had a great quick bite of bagel and latte. Best coffee I've had during a 3 week holiday in the UK. Searched high and low for a good coffee since leaving home in Sydney 😆

We recently visited London and this cafe was right around the corner from our hotel. Delicious bagels that kept us full all day! There was such a wide selection, we had something new every day and each one was fantastic. The staff were so lovely and very personable. Was sad to leave it when we travelled back home!

One of the best Bacon Egg and Cheese bagels I've tried in London. Staff is always so lovely, best part of my in office mornings!

Was desperate for a hot drink and nibble after an appointment at St Thomas and spotted this local gem on Google maps. Grabbed a grilled halloumi bagel & chai and my partner got the salmon and cream cheese bagel. This is one of the best bagels I’ve eaten in London. Fresh, soft and the filling was delicious. The oat chai was also excellent my only wish is that I should’ve requested for it to be a little hotter. Great service from the team inside and I will definitely be back.

I recently visited Sista Barista in London and enjoyed a delightful bagel with sausage, egg, and bacon. The atmosphere was welcoming and cozy, making it the perfect spot for a relaxing breakfast. The bagel was perfectly toasted, with a nice crunch on the outside and a soft, chewy interior. The sausage was flavorful and juicy, complemented by the perfectly cooked egg and crispy bacon. The combination of these ingredients made for a satisfying and hearty breakfast. The staff were friendly and attentive, ensuring a pleasant dining experience. I highly recommend Sista Barista for anyone looking for a delicious breakfast in a warm and inviting setting. I'll definitely be returning for more!

Amazing cream cheese bagel and americano. 🤍

BEST COFFEE IN LONDON I've been looking all over for a coffee that doesn't taste like crap and I stumbled upon this wonderful little café with some of the best coffee I have ever tasted! They have a range of lactose-free and plant based milks as well as a number of vegan friendly items. The place always smells divine thanks to the mouthwatering homebaked goods in display and available to purchase at very reasonable prices! For such excellent coffee in the heart of London I would expect to pay more, but Sista Barista is amazing value for money. Ideally located right next to a bus stop and a short walk from Westminster this is simply a must-stop for anyone in the area, whether tourist or worker ❤️ My first coffee was so delicious I went back the next day with two thermocups and bought double! The staff are also extremely friendly and have generated a good, welcoming atmosphere inside so the small wait to have your coffee made flies by! 100% would recommend to everyone, I'm just sorry it took me so long to find!

Absolutely delicious gluten-free bagels and chai! So grateful to have found this gem.

Cutest little coffee shop, got a ham and cheese melt and a latte which were both very yummy.

Disappointingly small coffee for the price! Would have expected a flat white sized portion instead of a shot glass sized cup of espresso with drops of milk. I had to ask for more milk and the server sounded alarmed at that.

Excellent Chai latte and really nice personnel

Cute little shop with a nice atmosphere and staff.

This is a very good coffee place with a real barista running a good coffee machine. Fast efficient and friendly staff, not to mention they know how to make specialty coffee orders. They made my "magic" to perfection. Although there is a proper sign listing all the different coffee styles, it is funny to see the hand written sign with "filter coffee available" for people that just want caffeine flavored water. Food looked good and fresh, but I didn't have the chance to try it. Arguably, the best coffee I've had in London.

Cute small corner coffee shop. Fast and friendly. Great coffee Bagel sandwich’s are delicious. They have GLUTEN FREE bagels that actually taste great

Visited this cafe, around 5 months ago, as I was searching for somewhere to eat in the area. I had a grilled halloumi cheese bagel, with caramelised onions. Lovely! Not to mention the amazing customer service. Looking forward to coming back again :)

Tourists from Melbourne, Australia. Staying at Waterloo NOX nearby and say this place on google. Did not disappoint! Staff/Owner is so nice and welcoming, bagels are great, and decent price!

The coffee is very good but there is room for improvement in the bagels

Amazing food! The bagel sandwiches are soooo good. The service is friendly and kind and looks to be a woman run business!

Called in on a trip to London. Tea and americano with banana bread and cinnamon roll. Great friendly vibe and incredible food. Would call in again.

Great Café, I like this place 👍🏻

I took a rice bowl with chicken and sriracha sauce. The prices were super reasonable, the portion was generous and the taste was divine. It was borderline a steal with how good, how quality, and how inexpensive that it was. Wishing this shop a long and prosperous future!

A great little barista cafe in London-Waterloo. The two ladies are very friendly and the coffee tastes very good too. Homemade dishes such as bagels and baked goods are served.

Been coming here for years and always had fantastic coffee and food, and great service! Lovely place.

Nice place and nice staff. Very tasty bagels and juices. There are plenty of vegan options. It’s reasonably priced too. I recommend ☺️

Went here with my good pal Dave, food was amazing. Bagel was next level, lovely friendly staff.

Very cute local coffee shop in the Waterloo area. Delicious breakfast bagels and pastries. Owner/worker is pleasant. Inside there are about 4-6 seats along bar tables that face outside the window. Outside 2 small patio tables. Suitable for a quick casual bite.

Great family ran business. Fresh food and good company The best coffe in South London.

I was just so lucky enough to be staying just across from this fantastic gem, and it's easy to see why it's one of (if not *the*) highest rated cafe in the area. Perhaps the best coffee I've had in London. Thank you 🙏

Great Breakfast Bagel! A quality Ameicano coffee!

My every weekday go to coffee, plus their bagel also a must to tryy 😋

Great little spot for a coffee and bagel. They had a gluten free bagel for my wife which she loved.

My favourite coffee shop in the area! A great independent with banging breakfast bagels and great decaf coffee 🤩

Great breakfast in a bagel! Very nice indeed. Good price for central London.

Delicious Coffee! Best I've had in the Waterloo area. Service was a bit to the point from the gentleman at the front, but it was busy, so to be expected. Definitely see myself coming again, and trying their food in future too!

A little slow but decent coffee and nice pastries. I didn't try and cooked food but everything I saw come out looked great

I always see the queues in the morning for Sista Barista, so I had to check the coffee shop out for myself. I managed to visit when there weren’t many people, and sat by the window. Note this is a small place with limited seating capacity. It is more of a grab and go kind. I ordered an almond croissant and a latte (£5.80). I have to say the coffee was smooth and delicious, specially the quality of the milk was very good. The price is reasonable for a large cup, compared to other coffee shops in London. I would have loved for the coffee cup to be a nicer design and not gray, as I think there could be some interesting designs made with the name of the shop, but this is just a small suggestion. I’d say this is a hidden gem of a small local coffee shop. Staff were a bit rushed, but very friendly. I recommend this place, if you’re on the go!

The BLT-Deluxe was amazing!! Perfect Place to grab a Bagel and start exploring London!!

Great coffee, awesome granola with greek yogurth and delicious bagel. I loved it!

Great shop, with very friendly and helpful staff and delicious food. There are gluten free bagels that are delicious. The coffee and chai latte were also very good. A bit crowded and hectic in the morning, but you can still sit down for a moment if you want.

Nice coffee here (and I'm quite discerning). I had 2 oat milk lattes on the same day. Nice taste and well textured milk. Also grabbed a large jerk chicken wrap which was tasty. Small but tidy, clean and functional. Fairly priced. Would recommend!

Since I lived in London it’s my favorite place! I would give 987643 stars if it were possible 😊

Just a perfect little cafe serving delicious drinks and food. Loved it so much I came back the next day. Awesome find. You won’t be disappointed!

On a recent trip to London we had breakfast here three mornings. Delicious. Highly recommend fully Monty and cheesy egg and avocado bagels. Fab coffee as well

Friendly staff, quick processing, coffee was fabulous and croissants were extremely tasty!

I had the BLT and an oat cappuccino and both were perfect to start the day! Would rush back if in Waterloo.

Great coffee and selection of bagels! Lovely staff 😊

Delicious coffee and a great offer for breakfast. Possibility to eat on site in a quite cozy cafe. Everything at affordable prices. We recommend!

Fave independent coffee!! Best oat dirty chai latte in my humble opinion :)

I love this place. The coffee is great and the atmosphere is awesome!

Just WoW I literally went in here at 10am today and Brought a egg,bacon and avocado bagel and coffee. Such a small chique establishment I read the menu and looked great and i was not disappointed the food tastes awesome, support local businesses like this and you will get better service ,food and when I'm in the area next I will make a point of visiting again

The are many selections of coffee, beverages and bakery goods to choose from. They also serve sandwiches and wraps. The service was excellent and the food delicious.

Good bagels, nice staff. Not many options but good quality

Lovely little café that has the perfect mix of everything. Food and coffee is great, the staff is so lovely and the atmosphere in the Cafe is so that you will want to stay there for a while. Very lovely costumer interaction, too! 😍

Had the special jerk wrap - oh my goodness!! It was one of the most delicious wraps I have ever tasted. Full of filling and mouth wateringly tasty! I will be back!

Excellent coffee shop with delicious bagel sandwiches and the people running it are super nice

New York Bagel wasn’t good. Was very hot when received and looked it was steamed pressed with an iron.

The classic bagel and coffee is a pro. The store is small and location is good. We like the meal and coffee very much.

Cozy place with delicious breakfast and coffee. Only downside were the disposable cups and containers.

We popped in for a quick snack en route to a wedding. Delicious bagels and excellent coffee. Lovely people too. Also good for a spot of people watching.

I only had a soy cappuccino a couple of times, and it was perfect . The barista made a nice, fluffy foam, which is difficult with soy milk. Very recommended.

Amazing coffee and bagels with gluten free options

Lovely place, delicious and affordable food. Friendly staff :)

The breakfast bagel was good. The service was a turn off. The gentleman at the counter seemed to really dislike his job, unfortunately. No smile, no hello, no joy, not a welcoming atmosphere.

Yes I will back prices and good service

Nice coffee and friendly staff, recommended!

I have a gluten and dairy allergy so finding breakfast has been tough. They have gluten free bagels and vegan butter!! So grateful

Wandering around Waterloo and discovered this place near Leake Street. Cinnamon Roll = 🤤 and coffee not too bad either.

Pretty disappointing bagel The coffee was good though!

Amazing place to eat or drink service incredible

Definitely one of the best bagels I've ever eaten in London. I haven't tasted the coffee yet but I'll definitely come back more often.

Got a cream cheese and free range egg bagel. Egg was perfectly done. Great coffee as well.

Great spot for a great feed. We had breakfast here and it was a very busy cafe. The coffee was good and my friend had full Monty bagel and I had BLT and they were delicious And not overly priced

Cute coffee/breakfast spot. Enjoyed a breakfast egg bagel and latte and then was quickly on my way.

Lovely food, wide selection, very reasonably priced and extremely friendly and helpful staff. So polite and accommodating. Can't recommend this place highly enough. If you're in the area, call in!

Delicious and very nice people :D

Really relaxed vibe, good prices and delicious food.

מקום כיף, אוכל מושלם. הכל טרי ונקי.

I love this cafe and the staff is amzing. I stayed around the area for couple of days and this was my regular cafe. Lima makes my chai latte and its the best.

Great quick service, fantastic bagels, great menu and wonderful coffee! An absolute recommendation! Thank you!🙏

Heel lekker. De bagels zijn een grote aanrader!!!!!

평일 오전?시간에도 줄을 서길래 너무 궁금해서 베이글 테이크아웃 해봤는데 진짜 너무 맛있었습니다 완전 추천!

Food and service was amazing. Best bagel I've ever had. Went 2 days in a row and tried for a 3rd but they were closed.

I used to go to school here and this place was my absolute go-to for a lunch break. Their coffee beans are always of a very good quality. I love their wraps and bagels as well (especially the salmon, avocado and cream cheese one). The barista is super nice. Highly recommended

Really good coffee and delightful bagels!
