Artisan coffee, artisan snacks, and a cool Berwick Street Market vibe
"If you’re a fan of serious coffee, you’ll probably know Flat White. This small Berwick Street spot was one of the first of a new wave of London cafés to take coffee seriously, and they still serve some of the best in town. Seating is usually fairly limited, but they’ve spread out into the street and are serving an Eat Out To Help Out brunch set menu from 9am-4pm Monday to Wednesday. The same team run Milkbar over on Bateman Street where you can also Eat Out To Help Out." - oliver feldman, rianne shlebak
"Flat White is a Berwick Street stalwart and one of London’s original specialist coffee shops. It’s always friendly, it’s always busy, and it should definitely be your destination when you’re strolling around in this part of Soho." - oliver feldman, heidi lauth beasley, jake missing, rianne shlebak
"A one-time nexus of London’s speciality coffee culture, this is still the best place to get coffee in the hubbub-grid that is Soho and the formerly ... Idiosyncratic ... service has mellowed out. Get the eponymous drink and sit outside like it’s 2005." - Adam Coghlan
"A neighborhood coffee spot on Berwick Street whose outdoor benches returned, allowing customers to enjoy flat whites and ceramic-served coffees again as part of the cautious reopening." - Adam Coghlan
"Managed by Laura Smith since 2013, this Berwick Street café helped establish a local coffee scene and drew both regulars and coffee tourists thanks to its central location. By 2014 it was among the few in the city to use Sweden's Drop Coffee as its main roaster, then moved to Hackney's Dark Arts in 2016 and continued with that supplier. Once celebrated as legendary, its growing reputation for brusque service began to threaten that status. During the tumultuous lockdown it and its sibling often passed the baton between being open and closed." - James Hansen
