Taylor St Baristas in City of London, Westminster

Siempre había una cola en la entrada de esta cafetería, así que pensé en intentarlo dada la reciente noticia de que Black Sheep los había capturado. Mocha suave y encantadora, sin sabor amargo, y una generosa porción de pastel de zanahoria, ¡que fue excelente!

Después de terminar mi reunión y antes de tomar el tubo, mi próximo destino se detuvo con un colega por lo que él recomendó como una mezcla diferente de café dulce sin agregar azúcar. La tienda solo ofrece café y postres para llevar, tienda pequeña una cola pero rápida. No me impresionó con el café mi café expreso sabía bien, pero no es genial. Los postres parecían buenos pero no lo intentaron.

The espresso I had was excellent, very strong, tasty and without bitterness. Also it was not expensive. Sitting in at a bar you can also experience a free disco with an electronic glitter ball.

Disfruté de un buen café con leche en este pequeño lugar lejos de Bishopsgate ocupado y justo enfrente de la entrada a la estación de Liverpool Street. Me las arreglé para agarrar uno de los 3 o 4 taburetes de la ventana en una tarde. La música podría haber sido rechazada un poco pero no hay quejas de lo contrario.

Nice hidden gem on side street just across from Liverpool street station. Quick service, custom coffees and helpful staff. A nice change from the mega coffee outlets.

在liverpool st station旁邊的小咖啡店，店面很小，基本上是流水作業式，一條隊伍同時下單和領取食物。店員會拿著ipad幫你下單，以減少等待時間。儘管店家已經盡力節省等待時間，但美味的咖啡吸引的人流實在太多了，都排到去街上lol 另外也點了一份ham & cheese crock, 芝士的份量比三文治還大，暖烘烘的，好滿足!

Yo vine recomendado por un buen amigo y nos lo pasamos genial. Fuimos por el café y no nos decepcionó, fuerte, a la derecha la amargura, espuma de café con leche. Disfrutamos. También tuvimos el desayuno, donde todo era tan bueno y tan bien ejecutados. Algunos puntos débiles van por no tener zumo de naranja natural recién exprimido y cruasanes podría ser mejor. Pero la experiencia es genial y conseguir recomienda cómo llegar allí porque puede ser difícil. Muy recomendado.

Vale la pena salir de la estación de Liverpool Street. Bueno la crema y leche preciosa sedosas. Servicio bastante rápido. Buena selección de pasteles también, aunque mi pan de banana y nuez porción era un poco tarde, porque por la tarde seca fue cortado antes y no cubiertas; un equilibrio para dar un servicio rápido.La música normalmente me irritan, pero fue Red Hot Chili Peppers, así que estoy vendido!

With so many choices to make in London, finding a great coffee can sometimes be hard. Taylor Street is one of the best finds out there, highly recommended and for good coffee and an amazing (original) flat white!

best franchise coffee, smooth natural caramel taste. only small disappointment was the customer service guy didn't ask or offer me a loyalty card he was a bit too laconic. question is it worth paying 50p more? than vs pret or costa.

It is my favourite in London! Absolutely amazing coffee and great people. I am a huge fan of the latte and cappucino in particular.

Note, I'm not a coffee connoisseur. This branch was just around the corner from the office. Service good. Coffee was nice. Smooth taste, not bitter. Has been busy when I've been so must be decent.

En general no soy un fan de la cultura café cocinado en Londres, pero esto ha demostrado ser completamente equivocada. El café con leche era perfecta y el precio era razonable. También tuve tarta de chocolate la Guiness algo y era realmente bueno, así como poner en un cuadro muy conveniente para que yo pudiera llevar conmigo.

Great coffee and friendly service. Busy at 9am with queue for takeaway, but the nice thing was that you are greeted at the door and if drinking in, you are shown strait to a table and your order taken there.

Si puedes distinguir la diferencia entre un delicioso café y café de cadenas conocidas y si estás buscando una buena calidad, entonces sin duda probaría este lugar. En promedio, un poco más caro que las cadenas, pero sin duda compensa su precio. Lo recomiendo!

Taza de café siempre encantador. También muy sabroso y saludable desayuno/almuerzo. opciones También tienen una agradable zona para sentarse que captura el sol de la tarde que es perfecto para un trabajo posterior a la cerveza

Very good coffee (had white flat) and cool atmosphere in the heart of Mayfair. Friendly and professional staff.

I have been taken here several times and once queued for coffee on my own. The coffee is never hot, it is weak and too milky. And it is expensive with one choice of size only. The coffee machine workers need a review in time and motion as production is slow. Food is average and limited. Much better coffee at better prices in the surrounding streets. I went back to the office and made myself a better coffee from our machine, free.

it was tiny and stuck away uin a minor alleyway but it served good coffee in a tiny space below road level with some atmosphere as the two ladies serving were enjoying themsleves.

The Taylor street Baristas by Liverpool station is a tiny takeaway place for coffee. Although they usually have some cakes and sandwiches.They also have couple of seats inside if you want to seat, so there is an option for everyone. Their coffee is good , however I prefer slightly less milky cappuccino than theirs. In general it's a cool place with excellent vibe and quite popular too. By the way , if you are a regular you get a coupon, " buy 4 get 1 free". So why not?

Tan rico que no es necesario endulzarlo con nada, un café de calidad excelente. Las cookies son geniales también. Muy buena atención. Es solo para llevar, no tienen mesas en el lugar!

На самом деле это сеть кафеен "быстрого обслуживания" - их уже около десятка. Именно эта находится в Сити - очень небольшое помещение, но там всегда есть покупатели. Обслуживают при этом очень быстро, кофе фантастический, в обед можно взять салаты 4 видов (но они быстро заканчиваются). Предусмотрена система скидок: 4 напитка дают право на пятый бесплатный. Если не хотите стоять в очереди, то можно сделать заказ через сайт, оплатить его там же, подойти в течение 5-7 минут и забрать заказ, услышав своё имя. Попробовав кофе здесь, другой в Лондоне покупать уже не хочется.

I have had several coffees from Taylor street and it is always too weak, too milky and too cool - as in not hot enough. Taylor streets are expensive and staffed exclusively by tw*ts who believe they are artisans because they can make a cup of coffee. Except they can't' even do that. The canary wharf branch is always full of tw*ts who don't know anything about coffee but are taken in by the veneer of synthetic cool. I despair at how so many people do not know anything about food and drink and so are taken in by places like this. Costa is better. Taylor street represent everything that is wrong with food in the 21st century.

I visited this new coffee house, just off London's Chancery Lane, for breakfast. This is a stylish brand new establishment, part of an Australian chain, that has speciality coffee as it's main offering. They do offer food but the menu is opaque and I had to go to the takeaway section to find things that were not listed.The coffee was good but it was breakfast I was interested in and the choice was abysmal.

I was delighted to find this coffee shop and I used to use the Richmond shop a few years ago. The coffee is good and strong - the queue out the door in the morning is testimont to the quality. Worth the queue!

It is a tiny shop in a step down area in Boltolph Alley near the Monument and unless you know it is there it may be difficult to find. It has atmosphere and was very popular despite the fairly casual service (the server seemed more interested in her I Pad and another customer).The coffee was very good and the atmosphere good as well and the spotty service overlooked.

I was recommended to try one of their coffees and I'm glad I did instead of visiting one of the usual coffee chains.I had a Skinny Cafe Late and it was smooth tasting without a bitter taste.Fast service, friendly people and great coffee. What more do you need!

Enjoyed their coffee, quite smooth and easy to drink.They have a moderate range of food, with some good breakfast options.

Went to the Bank branch this morning - not been before but liked the look of it as I was passing. Sat inside rather than a takeaway. Skinny Cap. Best Ive tasted in a long time. I am very fussy about coffee. I used to be a Starbucks favourite but find them a bit bland. This was perfect. Smooth and not too strong. Came home and looked up other stores. Hope they continue to expand.

This place claims to make coffee like you would expect to find in Australia and I can say it didn't even come close to this. The coffee was extremely weak for a flat white with very little warmth in temperature, so basically undrinkable! Plus the price is higher than the average cafe. If you're going to print finely crafted coffee on your cups you have to need to at least get the basics right.

Did my internet searches and identified the Brooks Mews branch as a place for our morning drink before a later lunch. Glad we did - this was buzzing but we managed to get seated at a shared table. Coffee was very good as was service. And I'm sure if we'd sat there long enough we could have earwigged market sensitive info from the many business conversations around us.

The queues outside can only tell you one thing - it is worth queueing for the coffee. Expertly made, with care, makes for a very very good of coffee.

This is a very small and busy place. Seems to be quite a lot on offer in the way of snacks. The coffee is delicious - real stuff, rather than the Starbucks/Costa/other chain store stuff. The latte had a good strong taste, without any 'burn' of over-roasted beans.

I wish I'd read the reviews before I visited this pretentious place. The place was heaving, the staff disinterested, the food mediocre, the prices way too high for what was on offer. Thankfully I did not have a toasted sandwich - I think I would have returned it - people around me muttering at the two pieces of bread (sourdough!!!) thrown together to make the most measly unimaginative sandwich I have seen in a long time. Presentation = 0. I had a bean and squash salad which was dripping in olive oil; tasted ok but the volume of oil was offer putting. As for no customer toilets - you are a restaurant. I will not be back.

Lumpy porridge whige they gave a quick stir. Tasteless 'bready' croissant. Cheap shopfit, slow amateur service.

Very busy but average coffee takeout conveniently placed for commuters. Often lines out the door at peak times.

Great unpretentious coffee shop with great tasting espresso and lattes. Worth waiting a little if there is a queue.

From visiting Old Broad Street branch I passed this on the way back from a meeting and thought would try it out.This is a takeaway only outlet so good for on-the-go. Pleased to report that the coffee and service are equally consistent to Old Broad Street.If you need to catch a train from Liverpool Street and want really good coffee this place is just over the road and serves a brew miles above anything you can buy in the station.

Really lovely coffee. Pure and simple really. A real delight. Worth making a trip for. Mainly takeway. But they really take pride in their coffee.

I love this coffee shop! The coffee is amazing and there is a variety of sweets/desserts on offer. The baristas are a breath of fresh air - funny, friendly and a bit goofy (dressing up and/or wearing funny hats) and are clearly very good at making coffee :)

I drink coffee every day, and think of myself as a bit of a connoisseur on the coffee front (wine too, but that's another story). Whilst I used to love Café Nero, Taylor St Barristas has surpassed all expectations! Great flavours and excellent speedy service.

Without question, the best coffee shop in the City. It might be tiny, and there is usually a queue, for the quality of coffee, nothing comes close. A skinny cappuccino made by Will is simply the very best. So much tastier and smoother than any of the major chains. And to top it all, the loyalty scheme is incredibly generous, one free coffee for every 4. The icing on the cake! Highly recommended.

I am in Canary Wharf just for a few weeks and I've only recently discovered this little gem. No Costa, Starbucks or Nero gets even close to the cappuccinos in this place. They are just perfect. There is always a long queue (no wonder...) but it goes fast enough so it's no problem. The staff is really friendly as well, specially for London standards; small talk with the crew is not considered awkward as opposed to other places around here. And yes, it's slightly expensive compared to big chains, but a) it's top quality coffee and b) you get a free one after number four, which means that a £3.20 cappuccino turns into a £2.56 one when you get your fifth. More than reasonable. Totally recommended.

Amazing coffee, friendly helpful staff that are actually happy to serve you coffee - well most of them do anyway. Coffee is of a high standard - worth the price.

Was working in the area for a week and enjoyed great coffee each day at Taylor St. Great neighborhood coffee shop to grab and go.

I love Taylor Street coffee houses and would go as far to say that they probably produce the best flat white in London.The texture of the milk is perfect and the taste of the 'house' Rogue beans they use, is delicious. I enjoy sampling the guest espresso's as well.The food is always fresh and the Chocolate Guinness cake is to die for.If you're in London and appreciate a good coffee, pop in to one of these coffee houses.

Consistently good cup of coffee, even with different weekly roast. One way to find a careful and tasty barista is through an espresso: and my oh my those guys know how to do it.Love the beats in this Taylor st, even at am rush hour. No place to seat but still a great place

My visit was purely based on Reviews on various websites But found it's not my kind of place.Coffee (Mocha in my case) was nothing special there are other good places where I work and was IMO was over priced. Worth mentioning that they charge £0.20 For using a debit or credit card, again IMO it's cheap. Not even a small vendors these days do that. So is up to you would you like to spend £4.50 For a cup of coffee?! where you have wait outside the shop.

Just stopped by for a quick Capuccino and a brioche, lovely atmosphere and fine decorations, we will back!!

Wonderful coffee, lovely service and fantastic, wholesome food. A true gem in Mayfair-one to return to frequently when in London!

Starbucks and Costas of the world- Move away...Taylors St. Barista is here to stay!Excellent flat whites and cappuccinos...Love them, wont change a thing about them- including their tiniest possible shop floor area ;-) Don't miss it.

i have been a regular at Taylor St Barista only for cappuccinos and banana bread.great coffee beans selection and aroma. Very nice people. Unfortunately there are no places like this in Chelsea. A bit pricey but strongly reccomend.

Visited while on a business trip to London, on the recommendation of a colleague. Really small place, but great vibe, and nice selection of drinks and food. Excellent flat white, it's their specialty and a must try. It's more of a takeaway place, but that's okay for folks on the go. Great coffee that never disappoints.

I think this stands out in the area. Mid afternoon when the crowds have dispersed its a great place to have a coffee or try out the food.The deli style lunch is always good and decent value for money versus everything else in the area of similar genre, and I really like the cute intimate atmosphere. Staff always really nice.

This place was recommended by a friend for coffee. I am told that the queue is regularly out of the door, but the place is pretty small. It wasn't that busy when we arrived and we ordered our coffees and went to the collection area by the door. The place is so small they don't have an area for you to sugar your drink and they do it for you. I don't like that as depending on the taste of the coffee, I may decide to add more sugar after tasting it. I did find the coffee had a different nutty taste. I drunk it, but I didn't enjoy it.

A rather small coffee shop, well hidden away just near Liverpool St station. The staff were friendly and seemed to know lots of regulars. The coffee is priced quite a bit higher than a chain coffee shop but if you care about decent coffee you will pay it. The latte was really good, a great balanced taste between sweet milk/espresso - sadly no latte art though!!Sadly there are pretty much no seats inside so this is really a take a away coffee bar for coffee purists.

The coffee, service and food served at Taylor St Baristas is exceptionally good. I have never had anything but an excellent coffee here and the food served all has fresh, home made appeal to it from a proper piece of toast to really delicious cakes. It is worth mentioning that they have the most generous loyalty program of any coffee shop. The fifth one is always free. Who can compete with this in London?I like to support an independent business where the emphasis to provide a good service is so apparent. The branches I know are tucked away on Brooks Mews in Mayfair and in New Street just off Bishopsgate opposite Liverpool St Station in the City of London.Visit once and you will go out of your way to return.More from me on Twitter @busy_dan

I was recommended this place by an Aussie (surprise!) who was passionate about his coffee, and it's true!! The coffee here was definitely different, I thought, from the likes of Starbucks, Costa & Nero (which seem to be EVERYWHERE in the area)For a comparison (if one can be made) I got a coffee from Nero near Liverpool street and a filter selection from this place (I do love the special coffee they have as a filter). When I tasted the two, there was NO comparison.I do love the "Buy 5 get 6th free" deal, really really worth while.

No complaints usually but on the last few occasions I have been less than impressed with my regular 'Two Toast with Marmite' order. Sadly, this morning was the last straw for me. After a rather long wait (10 minutes for toast...), I reached my desk (2 mins walk away) to find the toast was not only tepid but they hadn't even cut it in half to make it easier to eat. Admittedly it looked like they had a newbie on but really, I was disappointed and ended up throwing most of it away as it was like chewing the inner-sole of a shoe. Definitely going elsewhere from now on. Sorry Taylor St... but you lost your magic for me :(

This morning I went to their location at 22 Brooks Mews in Mayfair. Maybe the best flat white I ever had in London - or anywhere else, Pleasant atmosphere, good friendly service, nice selection of foods, filled with customers who look like they just purchased a yacht from the broker down the street. This shop is SERIOUS about their coffee.

Better than the high street chains, but not as good as Monmouth coffee. The flat White seems to be the house special, very good. Decent food & drink menu, good ambience, staff friendly.

Brilliant Flat White, lovely decor & good atmosphere, service by girl on till very friendly but all spoilt by a loud barista swearing & chatting rubbish loudly at other staff. Shut him up & this place can't be faulted.

No offense to London but they make crap coffee and I refuse to enter chain coffee stores! Thankfully this place gets it right. They have won awards, the coffee is good and well priced. The beans are also relatively freshly roasted.What more could you want?

Went here on an espresso tour thruout London. It is a tiny palce, so probably best only for coffee to go. The espresso quality was so-so, milk foam ok. Friendly staff I ahve to say, very welcoming. It can get crowded when the rush of coffee lovers from the surrounding buildings turn up.

Popped in for a flat white to go. Living in Glasgow we don't have many places with good coffee round her so always on the look out when I'm in Laaaandan. The New Street branch is tiny and the stools in the small setaing area by the window look pretty uncomfortable. The female barista that served us was pleasant and gave us loyalty cards. The coffee was amazing. Not too cold as flat whites often are and tasted great. Would definitely be back.

I've been going to Taylor Street for the past 5 years. I've seen it grow from a couple of small kiosk shops in Brighton and Richmond to a popular neighbourhood cafe with maybe 8 or 9 locations in London (and one still in Brighton). What I like is that each shop takes on the personality of the surroundings - yet I always feel a nice warmth no matter which one I visit.The staff have always been lovely to me and seem to have a soft-spot for little kids as well. I'm surprised to hear a couple recent reviews saying that the staff are arrogant - it sounds out of character for Taylor Street. I remember one time when it wasn't so busy, one of the staff even tried to teach me how to make coffee art (the pretty images on top of the lattes/flat whites)... they seemed excited to share their passion about making great tasting, great looking coffee.Taylor Street takes pride in making delicious and beautifully crafted coffee - all ethically sourced, of course. Their tea, too, is really nice - try rose of the orient which I've only ever found there. I'm happy to have one close to where I live - now if only they put one close to where I work as well!

I had this place recommended to me after I'd been moaning about the poor quality of coffee throughout London- I'm so pleased that I've found out about taylor st! Their coffee is top notch, I'm always impressed with the knowledge of the baristas who are happy to make my coffee exactly as i Iike it. These guys really know their stuff, who cares if some of the staff have 'scruffy long hair'! It's London for goodness sake! Yummy sandwiches and delicious cake compliment the coffee admirably. They've got a few more shops throughout London, I've been to a few and enjoyed a similar top quality in all. Thank goodness.

When you get a soya latte that is curdled, I think you've got the right to question it. My query on this matter was rejected by the member of staff as iut is the type of soya milk they use. Gross. What the team member should have said was "I'm sorry about that, let me give you a replacement and see if the same thing happens". I certainly wouldn't try their nasty soya milk or nasty attitude again.

read great reviews bout this place in the mayfair magazine, when there twice. both times asked for a long black in the bigger cup, half filled. one of the staff decided that that is not what i wanted, instead gave me a smaller cup, filled to the bream. Go figure that!. Didn't make a fuss. Next time asked for the same and again got even a worse thing. Extremely hot brown water was served so i got up and nicely asked them to re do it. Guy that makes a coffee, scruffy, unkept, long hair, eastern european peasant attitude, started arguing with me loudly so half of the place looked at me. to make that matter worse three other staff behind the counter got involved in the conversation telling me i should be having a plunger coffee. i have been having this sort of coffee for years, and i try to explain how it is usually made. no they or have PhD in it, and who the f* am i? i made i face and set down, after three of them all looked and with a spoon 'analysed the coffee'.They finally remade my coffee close to what i wanted. Later on found out they are in partnership with supermarket Tesco and fill open starbucks type of joint all over london. too expensive and wait if time. DONT be fooled with all the Australian reputation of coffee making, there were aussies there, but cheap european labour. they just wanna attract tourists and reap u off.Go to wood and wild coffee instead, 1 New Oxford Street

Visiting London on a yearly basis, I usually stop by this little espresso bar. Pity it was ruined by the pretentious behaviour and attitude of a barista recently when I asked him for some sugar. Last time I heard it was the customers choice. He could do with a couple of lessons in customer care, however I will not be returning. I also found the espresso overly short in length, more like a ristretto in quantity. They certainly were not serving coffee like this last year...shame though, another one bites the dust.

Really good soy latte (made with premium soy milk brand you dont find in many coffee shops). Also good service - we sat outside and the staff welcomed us in when a table became free.

I go here every morning for my coffee. It makes all other coffee taste disgusting. Lovely atmosphere, the staff are really friendly. It takes longer than most places to make the coffee, and it is slightly pricey, but that's because they put a lot of care into making each cup.

I love this place, the coffee, the food, the people! It has been a struggle to find anywhere that has managed to live up to how much I enjoyed popping in here for a latte of a morning! And as yet I am still looking. It becomes one of those places where everybody knows your name and they know exactly how you're feeling and what kind of mood you're in.The breakfast pastries fill you up and ready your head for a long morning. The lunchtime treats of sandwiches, soups and salads are such a breath of fresh air compared to the usual offerings you get around a mainline station. And finally the cakes which provide a delicious indulgence are too good to miss but should carry an addictive warning! I especially loved the carrot cake.If you have missed the train, are on your way to a meeting or if the walk to Brick lane seems far too long to manage without a smooth silky coffee, then stop by this hidden gem!

Fantastic coffee, great looking sandwiches/cakes/slices, plus some added treats for aussies of Lamingtons, Tim Tams + Cherry Ripes.They have a few stores, one even being a shed in a carpark in the Old Street area. Staff are great and has that coffee shop vibe which the big chains seem to lose.

Highly recommend this coffee place, charming staff, great atmosphere and really good coffee!
