Harris+Hoole continue their expansion and have now opened up on Tooley Street. The space is in a…read morecorner right by the newly renovated Tesco store. It is a small space with perhaps 4-6 seats at the window (high chairs) but I would expect that they put up some outdoor seating when it gets closer to spring/summer. The coffee is from Union Hand Roasted and they are good at both espresso based beverages and filter coffee. The service was very quick when I visited but it was not very busy and they were actually 4 people behind the counter. The place does have the feel of a small independent cafe but as one can suspect it is no coincedence that they are located right by Tesco, with even a door from the Tesco store into the cafe. Tesco are one of the owners of this mini chain of cafes and while perhaps not something I would consider as a benefit I did try the place with an open mind and they do serve good coffee so as long as that is the case I do not mind that Tesco are part owners. The pastries, sandwiches and other food options look delicious so this is a most welcome addition to the area around London Bridge Station. Especially good to have a coffee place with good opening hours in the area as the others that are good are all closed on Sunday's and the Coffee Hatch is basically only open 4 hours a day on weekdays so I will be a frequent customer.

Well I managed a whole morning without caffeine, for me that's some kind of record! First impressions are definitely positive here. Only small with a few seats for sitting in, this place is well-placed to catch London Bridge commuters. Great music on entering (very laid back, puts you at ease) and service with a smile and a chat are all great for making you feel better! Reasonably priced (small latte at 2.30 is Starbucks prices) and every 5th coffee free, how can you complain?! Love a cheeky loyalty card, my wallet is bursting with these :D Only gets 3 stars off me for the lacklustre coffee. Everyone has their own tastes, I prefer a mellower blend and this is a bit bitter for my tastes. If that's your thing, then this is your place!

I learned otherwise at Federation which was nice and cozy and like going green with the sustainable options. For example, they only gave you a to-go cup if you were really trying to go.

The…read morebright, airy, open space of this little café offers tantalising-looking food and ever-compelling coffee to the caffeine-deprived. Late morning on a Saturday was probably the absolute -worst- time to make a first foray to Federation Coffee, though. Interminable lines, no free seats*, and 10-15 minute waits for even beverage orders. On the flip side, my iced soy latte was delightful. The jury's still out on this coffee shop. With so many stellar caffeination stations to be had in Clerkenwell, I'd have to 1) already be in Brixton, 2) be really craving a fix, and 3) have someone else suggest a visit here to consider giving it another go. --- * I was fortunate enough to arrive at the perfect time that a cute stranger was getting up; he graciously offered me his stool.

There is a lack of seating but as this is a station branch you can easily see why. Currently sampling their Christmas drinks and have to say they are superior in choice and quality than Starbucks, Cafe Nero, Pret etc. I had the Black Forest hot chocolate which is served with cream and a drizzle of cherry syrup - very sweet but a treat to warm you up and keep you full. We also tried the caramel fudge hot chocolate which was verrrrry sweet. Wouldn't get it again but it isn't the worst I've had.

For my tastes, Costa chai lattes are far better than others from similar brands, and although a bit overpriced for what it is, the banoffee tartlet was actually gooey and delicious, packed with flavour.

The Barista sensed I was keeping an eye on my weight with all the "skinnys" I was ordering. Skinny caramel macchiato. Skinny blueberry muffin. So she offered me a sugar free caramel topping in my caramel macchiato, which I didn't know existed and was never offered before. All this time I was ordering, and I didn't know! So four stars to you for teaching me something I should've known a long time ago. Plus, this place is cozy and clean. Conveniently located next to the famous and pristine Langham Hotel in London. Directly across from the Langham's spa, The Chuan spa.

I visited the Langham Place Starbizzle for the first time this morning. I ordered my normal drink (an iced 4-shot espresso) and the lovely gentleman behind the register mentioned a policy that I'd never heard of until now: Apparently, if one pays for a drink using a Starbucks card, ALL EXTRA SHOTS ARE FREE. So, by loading up a gift card and using it to pay for my daily fix, I will only be paying for a single shot. That's AMAZING. I've been getting the same drink at my normal Bizzle for months now. No one has ever mentioned this to me. My first time in the door at Langham Place, though, I learn a money-saving secret that will greatly enhance my coffee drinking experience. And with all extra shots free, dare I be a mad-woman and step back up to my old 6-Shot Stunna? I think the answer to that is YES.
