A very underwhelming experience. This was a highly rated coffee place near Portobello Road Market…read more I went there with my family members and we ordered two single shot espressos and one latte. The service was quick but lacklustre. The espresso drinks were not strong and tasted like they had been watered down. The latte was okay. Not very memorable but okay. However, what threw me off the most was the dirty saucer that was given to me along with the cup. There were old bits of coffee grounds on the saucer which stuck to my cup. It was kind of nasty and distracted me from enjoying the coffee. The baristas also seemed bored and distracted. One of them was sitting on the floor after he was done making my drink and he was just itching his hair. I was hoping he washed his hands before making my drink but I wouldn't count on it. My brother asked about their coffee deal, half off for a bag of coffee. They told him it was an old deal since COVID and they hadn't taken it off the board behind them. What a sad coffee place.

I couldn't believe my eyes when I saw this store, it's a foodie's paradise. There are some 8,000 recipe books filling the shelves from floor to ceiling on all manner of topics related to food: history, nutrition, art, chemistry and so much more. But here's the real attention grabber - at the back there is a reasonably priced cafe dishing up different treats from the 'test kitchen' which is devoted to trying out the recipes from the books themselves. Upstairs, too, they run cooking classes. So if you want to be the next kitchen big shot, look no further.

There is one communal table at the back, where you could squeeze yourself in against a wall. Other than that, there are a few micro stools. The matcha latte tasted a bit weird. It's hard to tell why. It could be the kind of milk they used, could be the matcha powder.

The stack of pancakes was fluffy and tasted a hint of coconut or banana (?) can't really tell but I'm guessing it's because of the flour they used.

I wasn't able to try their coffee but I saw they serve it in cute ceramic cups and they also sell some in-house fresh beans! *UPDATE: realized after seeing the £ conversion to $ that this place was pretty expensive
