WatchHouse in Southwark

Went to the location at St Mary Axe and the service was great snd the coffee and pastries were superb - the bathrooms in the other hand were absolutely awful! I was really shocked and I hope that if I come back that this might have been a one off!

Great coffee and even better customer service. A real pleasure to live close by and proud to call this is my local coffee house :-)

Went to the Watchhouse on Shade Thames (Tower Bridge) SE1 for breakfast - great service, great space and great food. Think it will be my local for the next week.

This used to be a lovely hip friendly local place with great food, sadly in the past few years they have really taken their foot off the pedal. They dropped many of the much loved dishes from the past (we used to have porridge there a couple times a week then they went vegan porridge only - killed that) We used to love their sweet chilli chicken wrap had one a couple days ago, dry and pretty tasteless. They used to do these lovely brioche bacon rolls, the amount of bacon in the one I had last week was not even half what they used to put in (the price is still £4.50) The worst thing is the people who served me the last couple of times clearly couldn’t care less, they hardly make eye contact or say anything to you - I know it’s a hip place but seriously a little human kindness goes a long way. Sad but as a local resident I rarely go in there anymore there is plenty of other much better alternatives.

Beautifully decorated place, friendly service, good coffee and pastries. What a delightful place to start a day!

Recommended as a lunch stop while in Bermondsey and it hit the spot perfectly. Friendly, super-efficient service, interesting food choices, great coffee and reasonable prices. Buzzy atmosphere and attractive decor. In, out and well fed in under 30 mins is exactly what I needed (and got).

Late lunchtime on a weekday. Five customers at tables inside, three at tables outside. Four staff - friendly welcoming young woman, two males mutely regarding the coffee machine as though consulting the Oracle at Delphi. Customers walking out due to slow and non-existent service, “We ordered coffee some time ago, are they ready?”. My coffee arrives after an age and is tepid.

Absolutely love this quaint little coffee shop! Yummy sandwiches and cakes. Friendly, fun staff, and cozy warm fire.

We visited the Watch House in Bermondsey on the morning of the Rugby World Cup final, and it was rammed, so I was a little apprehensive that I wouldn’t get served in time to get to see the game from the start... However, they run like a well oiled machine and I was out in no time! Not only that, it’s the best cup of coffee I’ve had in a London Cafe, and we went back for lunch straight after the game so I cold get another one; well two actually! There isn’t a lot of seating but everyone was happy to shift about and share tables, so it feels very welcoming indeed. It was still busy when we went back but just as efficient, and the food choice and cakes for a small location is amazing; particularly the cakes from my point of view! The staff need a special mention too! They all had smiles on their faces and obviously enjoyed their jobs, they got stuck in and could not be more welcoming and helpful! Josh, who we learned was the manager is an absolute star, and the other staff obviously love him; the smiles come from the top down and it’s infectious!! The added bonus of USB charging behind most of the seats and a lovely wood burning stove makes it an ideal spot, and I’ll be going back often! Congratulations Watch House, the best coffee shop in London in my very humble opinion!!! ⭐️🌟⭐️🌟⭐️✨⭐️✨⭐️✨🌟✨⭐️✨⭐️

Super niche, super cool and super staff. The coffee is fantastic; the food is fresh but it is the atmosphere created by the team that makes the experience. Visit - you won’t be disappointed

have visited this very cute cafe several times, there is something magical about it, the name. the building, the ambiance. the quality food and coffee maybe all.

Beautiful place, with very friendly and helpful staff. Great coffee too :) Great spot for brunch with friends

A tiny little place that's tucked-away. You could easily walk straight past it. It is an absolute delight with the most charming Korean staff who would brighten anyone's day with their cheery manner. The coffee is good, the cakes fresh & the croissants moist. What more do you want from neighbourhood cafe? Very dog-friendly.

Service is always very friendly here. Coffee is good but it does get very cramped in the mornings. Nice loyalty scheme with a free drink every 6 purchases. Food is rather expensive!

Delicious coffees, sarnies and all dog friendly! Harrisa chicken a particular fave! Along with halloumi wrap. GO!
