This is a shameless plug for my cafe but if you are looking for good coffee around the soho/fitzrovia area, come and try Lantana- 13 Charlotte Place. Its near the Goodge st tube and after only 10 weeks of being open we’ve already been voted as one of the best places for coffee by Time Out. We also do fantastic breakfasts, brunches and lunches.

Love this blog.

Anyway, Flat White has become my favorite coffee spot in London, perhaps ever. It rivals 9th street espresso in nyc. It doesn’t hurt that flat white has free marshmellows, too.

I’m still trying to find a quality coffee cup in the square mile. any suggestions?

All: Coffee is a very very popular topic, it would appear!

Shuna: Yes, you’re right. As you’ll see from the comment from James from Square Mile!

Ian: I’ll have to try Milk Bar.

LadyAcorn: Yes, must drop by Bea’s one of these days. Have heard nice things. Thanks for the reminder.

Kimberly: Thanks for dropping by!

James: I love your decaf.

Suzie: yes, you MUST go!

Flat White and Milk Bar both work with us now for coffee, and they do an amazing job with it.

The decaf they are using right now is a single origin Sumatran coffee, decaffeinated using supercritical CO2 and we think it is very tasty these days. After we had an amazing decaf espresso from Stumptown Roasters in Portland, Oregon we decided decaf shouldn’t just be “pretty good for a decaf” but should aim to be genuinely tasty. I am sure Monmouth have a similar philosophy and they roast great coffee too, and I’ve always had good coffee in Nude as well – so pleased to see another good coffee place in East London!

Wow…This is a really neat post and a super neat site!

I love this idea, and if I ever get a chance to visit London, I will certainly be coming back here for recommendations!

Neat! Thanks so much!

Kimberly 🙂

I’m 100% certain Flat White use Square Mile Coffee now. They did used Monmouth, it’s ok but as many of my coffee drinking friends (I’m a tea fiend) it’s losing it’s magic. One third of Square Mile is World Cupping champion, another is World best barista. So you know the kind of quality we’re talking about. Bea’s of Bloomsbury in Holborn also serving SM. If you’re near that part of London, it’s worth visiting.

They don't use Monmouth, they use a special blend of Square Mile Roasters.

They certainly used to use Monmouth. That might have changed as I haven’t been in for a bit. Did you know they have a sister coffee shop called The Milk Bar also in Soho? It’s equally good but was quieter than Flat White when i was in there.

Something tells me Flat White uses Square Mile but I'm not a hundred percent certain. I look forward to trying your reccs. But I can't have espresso and then be with humans I work with.

weird! I was browsing info on Flat White only an hour ago on TrustedPlaces (it shows up as one of the best coffee shops there) and thinking I need to go back.

Small world, and I totally agree. Great coffee but place is a tad too small for proper relaxing drink.
