This has become one of my go to coffee spots for whenever I'm in Bermondsey. It has a really cosy and homey atmosphere, and is perfect for getting work done! I'd suggest taking a laptop or a notebook there, it's the perfect place for productivity. So far I have gotten their iced latte, avocado rye, granola bowl and flat white. The iced latte was great, but the avocado rye was okay. I feel like it could've done with some more chilli flakes or seasoning. I loved the granola bowl and have had it multiple times now, the balance of sweetness in the granola and honey mixed with the slight sourness of Greek yoghurt really go well together. Their flat whites taste like strong lattes, which is exactly what I look for Overall the service is pretty quick, but one or two times I've been they've taken a while to make my coffee. But they are friendly, and did apologise for the wait. Despite the slight problems, I would definitely recommend Hej Coffee! read more

Super relaxing and enjoyable atmosphere! I felt really comfortable being there even if I was alone. The carrot cake is to die for and tastes ultra fresh and home made as it has the most carroty taste I've ever tasted in a carrot cake. If you're a small eater like me, I warn you not to take a whole piece for yourself, it's way too much! Honestly I could have stayed there for hours while reading my book and enjoying my coffee. The problem is that they have no toilet. So unless you have a super bladder, your time there has to be limited. I'm thinking that maybe they did this on purpose because otherwise people would stay there the whole day? So share your cake, don't drink too much and you'll have the nicest time at HEJ Coffee! read more

Thank you, Hej. Thank you for making excellent coffee, with great service, in a nice place to relax. This is the friendliest batch of baristas this side of the Thames. They are happy to make recommendations, and seem to really take pride in providing excellent coffee (and they do!). Additionally, the Scandinavian interior is fresh and bright. Just what you need in foggy London. I haven't made it through all the pastries yet, but I highly recommend the banana peanut butter bread, or the banana nutella blondies. Don't share these. You will want them all to yourself. Keep it up Hej! Welcome to the neighborhood! read more

Hidden gem tucked inside the Bermondsey Square market, next to a lovely flower stand (Dante). Wandered in and was so pleasantly surprised. Great staff and service, perfectly prepared porridge and cup of tea, apple muffin for takeaway that was equally yummy. Indoor cozy seating for about 15 people and a few outdoor tables nestled among flowers. Not too loud at all and great wifi. If I ever get lost in this neighborhood (again), I will definitely be back. :) read more

Super Cute place! I was so Happy after following Hej! on Instagram for some time that I now by chance only live a walking distance from them . The coffee was great, even though I embarressed myself by my lack of knowledge on a "real" cappuccino (THANKS SWEDEN!) They very politly made me a latte. Next time I will be sure to try their Flat white! My only downside would be the cakes... The Lemon loaf they served was frankly the blandest Cake I'v ever eaten. Not hardly any hint of Lemon and so dry it only dissolved into crumbles. SUCH A DISAPOINTMENT since its one of My favorites and it usally is a Safe card. I might give something else a try, but I just might also keep to the food instead. read more

Lovely little place to grab some Java and stare into the eyes of someone you care about. Food was both healthy and delicious. Child friendly. read more

For a cute coffee shop experience, Hej is adorable. Cozy seating, a variety of little things to buy, and pretty good coffee. It's a bit crowded, and little too warm, but it's decent coffee and better than most of the other coffee shops in the area. In fact, it's probably better than most of them in London. Not a lot of variety, but the coffee is decent. read more

I'm a big fan of Hej Coffee. My only regret is that I've walked past Bermondsey Square so many times and never gone in - hey hey, so many wasted Hej opportunities! This is a lovely little spot: not big, but super-sweet. If you're lucky enough to happen upon Hej during pleasant weather there are several tables next to the most perfectly arranged window boxes. Inclement weather? That's ok, sidle up to a small little stool, or sit at the window, or at the long working table; Hej's got options! I have only had their coffee and teas, never their food, though it's worth mentioning that the food all looks fresh and delicious (think cafe fare like bakes and cookies and sandwiches). I appreciate that the mint tea is...fresh mint, period. Their cold brew in the summer is truly amazing, with orange and floral notes. They also get points for their array of alternate milks: soy, almond, and coconut. Yelp note: no bathroom on site, though the nearby hotel apparently accepts desperate Hej patrons. read more

The Cinnamon Bun I had here was the best I'd ever had. And I say that having been exposed to Swedish cuisine from living with Swedes for years, journeying across Sweden for three weeks and having many a Swedish friend. The bun was warm. The bun had jam. The bun had cinnamon. The bun was nourishing. It elicited much joy. I had a 'Great white' flat white too, which again was pretty darn good. I like the option of having free extra shots "if you can take it," which is rare to see. They have the usual coffee kit for sale (V60s, grinders etc), including their house coffee which at £10 for 500 grams seemed surprisingly good value. Its ye-olde warehouse location just adds to the charm while its apparent popularity with local Swedes further cements its appeal. Fantastic, or as the Swedes might say: Jättebra! read more

Love the service and Casey is the best barista/server ever! Awesome cappuccinos and a cool place to sit, work, drink and be merry! read more

Hej Coffee - What a cappuccino (partly drunk of course)! - Cafes Near Me - London, XGL

Great cafe on a charming square that also houses a cinema and a hotel. Service is fast and friendly, and the coffee was tasty (and much needed on a Sunday morning). The cafe has plenty of seating and staff don't mind if you work, read or linger doing whatever the heck you please. What makes the cafe shine is the food with a scandi touch, including hot soups and freshly baked cinnamon rolls. These are flavored with cardamom in the Swedish style, and served heated on a plate, leaving them soft and gooey and very moreish. Definitely worth a stop in whether for an afternoon of working, a catch up with a friend, or a quick meal. read more

Today I finally managed to venture down South to Bermondsey to check out HEJ Coffee. It is a lovely, clean and simple coffee shop, Scandinavian style at its best. Of course, besides sampling a decent and quite strong flat white, I could not leave without tasting a cinnamon bun. Slightly warm, it was as sticky as you expect - and delicious. HEJ Coffee is another Swedish place in London to watch. I will definitely have to come back to check out the meatballs... read more

Excellent latte and pastries and most of all great space and vibe. One of the best neighborhood cafes read more

Hej is another great addition to the cafes on/near Bermondsey Street. If it's not the coffee that brings you in, it's the beautiful flower mart they have outside. Beautiful to look at but as you would expect, very £££. The coffee is little above average in terms of price point but definitely worth coming to check it out on the weekend! read more

Good local coffee and breakfast tucked away on the far side of Bermondsey Square, with a Scandinavian influence. After having lived in South London for 2 years, I somehow never managed to stop in until after I had moved away. Lots of fresh bread from local companies as well as some quiches and funky, eclectic urban decor. A few nice outdoor seats with flowers abound, otherwise a good amount of space inside. read more

Nice coffee shop with a classic Scandinavian ambient. Great filter coffee, probably the best I have had in London so far.

A hidden Swedish gem on Bermondsey Square. The menu is small but tasty. For savory options there are meat or veggie meatballs. The meatballs come in a nice vegetable stew and with some crusty bread to soak up the sauce. The meat-meatballs are delicious and super juicy. For sweet options there are a variety of pastries. Get the Cinnamon Bun - it will change your life! It's not the cheapest cafe, but think worth the money for the good ingredients! read more

Nice little coffee shop just a few steps away from the main street. We had an oreo cheesecake, filter coffee, and a flat white. All delicious and perfect for an afternoon. The space is very cosy and friendly, a comfortable place to hang out whether you're reading, working, or catching up with friends. A bit more of a laidback crowd than what you would normally get in coffee shops in the centre of London. I would definitely be back! read more

Very calm and comfortable atmosphere. The coffee is great and I love the blueberry muffins. The best thing is I can take my little dog! Will definitely be visiting regularly. read more

Comfortable interior with the usual choice of coffee and snacks. There's a nice large table that patrons are expected to share, and then a number of smaller niche type spots all of which feel a bit dark and cornered. Not the place where you'd want to hang out and read through the paper. Hej can be a nice place depending on how crowded it is. On a Sunday morning it does get rather full, like all trendy-hip places of this kind, they attract Sunday bohemians, and it will be loud. There will be people queuing stranding right next to where you sit. Choose On a weekend, if you want peace, you may want to go to a slightly more conservative looking place that isn't quite as popular. read more

Coffee is not great! Roasted too much, too hot and bitter. The place is beautiful, however and pastry selection is good.

Such a great neighborhood coffee shop. Combined with the flower shop out front, everything about the aesthetic of this place is inviting. I come here regularly for a coffee, and perhaps some avocado toast or a prosciutto sandwich. Cinnamon rolls also look amazing. Be warned - they do not have a bathroom available for customers to use. read more

Adorable and quaint shop. Tasty and bold coffee (I had a latte) and the almond pastry was delicious! Would recommend to anyone in the area as it is a cute shop with good service and coffee! read more
