The 23 Best London Coffee Shops With Wifi For Getting Work Done - London - The Infatuation

"Commons is a lovely place to drink coffee, take calls, and generally be anywhere other than your own home with your overflowing laundry basket. The clay pink walls, gentle jazz, and artful flower arrangements make it a calming place to be, but get here early to be guaranteed a seat. Best for: Zoom calls, solo work, breakfast meeting" - jake missing, rianne shlebak, daisy meager, sinead cranna

The 19 Best Coffee Shops In London - London - The Infatuation

"Commons is a very lovely place to drink coffee, take calls, and generally be anywhere other than your own home with your overflowing laundry basket. You might be holding a double shot espresso and resolutely sitting on mute in a Zoom call, but the warm, calming effect of this clay-pink spot is strong. Plus, you can find guest specials, like non-profit coffee brand Skylark Coffee." - sinead cranna, rianne shlebak

Commons at Old Street Works - Review - Old Street - London - The Infatuation

"Commons is a very lovely place to drink good coffee, take calls, and generally be anywhere other than your own home with your overflowing laundry basket. From 9am, people arrive in numbers and you can’t blame them. Not when the walls of this Old Street coffee shop are the sort of clay pink that subconsciously plonks you back in the womb. You might be holding a double shot espresso and resolutely sitting on mute in a Zoom call, but the warm, calming illusion is strong. This is surely one of London’s most aspirational morning locations. There isn’t much we don’t want to try and cram in our bag: the dainty, raspberry and cream-topped canelé, the glam flower arrangement, the chic, burnt orange mugs. Swing by when you need an office upgrade for a few hours, a well-made matcha—not too grassy, not too sweet—or for a catch-up where aesthetics count. photo credit: Aleksandra Boruch photo credit: Aleksandra Boruch photo credit: Aleksandra Boruch photo credit: Aleksandra Boruch Pause Unmute" - Sinéad Cranna

First time at commons at Old Street Works. I ordered a Matcha Latte and Plain Croissant 🥐 nice and fresh. I will be back soon. Highly recommend this cafe.

Everything is great there. The staffs are friendly, and the coffee is superb. It's just that the cakes and cookies are so disappointing. Miso cookies have no taste other than eating pure sugar and the brownies are the same. They used to have canele which were good but they stopped stocking them. I wish they have more interesting and tasty stuff that goes with their nice drinks.

Fabulous coffee shop. Warm and welcoming. Plenty of space and power outlets for those that want to work from here. The coffee is delicious and well made. Tried the Coco and ginger latte, which was quite different and very yum. Their pastries are some of the best I have tasted. Their service is fast and friendly.Well worth the visit. Will definitely go back.

I'm a coffee lover, and I like buying coffee from small businesses. As I came across this place, I said I needed to try it. The atmosphere was really nice but I was disappointed to see that the staff didn't pay me too much attention to me. I've asked the girl at the till if I can pay cash, and she said yes, but it will help if u have the right amount. That wasn't a problem as I like to give big tips to small coffee shops. As i was waiting for my order, two other people came in, and I've noticed to my shock that they were welcome in with a much nicer and friendlier attitude than the one I received. That actually made me sad for the day, and I didn't enjoy that coffee at all (felt like was a weak coffee and the sandwich was average(all because of the staff interaction)) I do understand that locals will receive a different treatment, but I wasn't expecting them to ask me about my chickens or if my guinea pigs are fluffy. Just a smile is not that much to ask

Sampled some coffees and all delicious, the staff couldn’t have been more helpful. First time here and would definitely repeat. The white choc sesame & miso cookie is really good!

Flavoursome coffee and delicious pastries, both well presented when eating in. Keep up the good work!

Commons Coffee is one of those rare places where you immediately feel welcome the moment you step inside. The staff are genuinely kind — not just polite, but truly warm and attentive. They remember your name, your usual order, and always take a moment to chat or make sure everything’s just right. And the coffee? Outstanding. Every cup tastes fresh, rich, and perfectly balanced — clearly made with care and great beans. Whether it’s a silky flat white, a strong espresso, or a cappuccino, everything here is top-notch. It’s the kind of place that brightens your day — not only because of the caffeine, but because of the people. Highly recommended for anyone who values great coffee and even better company!

I work in the building, and we’re so lucky to have such a great coffee shop right on our doorstep. The staff are incredible, always friendly and welcoming...and the coffee is excellent! Hayley, Kat, Julia, and Seungmi are all amazing, especially given how busy it gets in there! If you want great coffee at a reasonable price, served with genuine smiles, this is the place to go.
