Notes Coffee Roasters & Bar | Crossrail

Convenient location with a nice atmosphere and good vibe. We visited for a Saturday brunch and were pleasantly surprised. The place was quite busy, so we were seated at the high chairs—not the most comfortable, but at least there was a place to hang our bags. The tables are quite close together, which makes the space feel a bit cramped. Service was quick and helpful, and the menu had some interesting options. The food was delicious, though the portions were a bit smaller than expected. Overall, a pleasant experience—great for a casual brunch, but be prepared for a lively and slightly tight space!

Every time I visit the Kiosk - Notes Coffee at Canary Wharf, it feels like a little escape in the middle of the city rush. The coffee is always top-notch — rich, smooth, and perfectly brewed, just the way specialty coffee should be. The vibe at the kiosk is warm and inviting, and it’s become my go-to spot for a mid-day pick-me-up or a relaxing moment. What truly sets this place apart, though, is Romano, the heart and soul of the kiosk. He’s the responsible for the kiosk. His energy is infectious — always greeting you with a genuine smile, positive vibes, and the kind of attentiveness that makes you feel like a regular, even if it’s your first time. His passion for what he does shines through in every cup and every conversation. It’s rare to find such a combination of excellent coffee and truly exceptional service. Romano makes Notes Coffee more than just a café — he makes it a place you want to come back to, again and again. Highly recommended for both the coffee and the experience. ☕✨

The food was delicious, the service was excellent, and the atmosphere was vibrant. While it may not be ideal for working, it’s a great spot for gathering with friends!

Maybe I was lucky given some of the reviews but I had a good experience. I went by on a Saturday afternoon. Nice brunch menu of classics but also some 'different' dishes. It was the jalapeño cornbread that caught my eye and glad I stopped. I ordered this and a long black coffee. Really good. The coffee was perfect. I wasn't sure what to expect with my food but I received a well presented cornbread muffin with a poached egg and sweetcorn salsa. Delicious. Spicy, light, yet very filling and felt healthy too. Lovely. Service was good. Staff were friendly and pleasant. Nice branch located on Crossrail Place in Canary Wharf. Wasn't cheap but worth a Saturday brunch treat.

We had such a lovely experience at Notes Canary Wharf thanks to our amazing waitress, Quinn. She was incredibly kind, patient, and attentive throughout our visit. Despite how busy it was, she made us feel so welcomed and never rushed. It’s rare to come across someone so genuine and professional at the same time. Big thanks to Quinn for making our day — we’ll definitely be back because of her!

Lovely place, really nice chai latte, reasonable prices and super friendly staff! Big highlights to waitress Paige - she is absolutely friendly, kind and a proper 5 stars professional. Paige’s good energy has made me and my partner always come back for a coffee and some snacks. She’s undoubtedly THE BEST waitress we’ve ever met in London! 🙌🏽

Ordering two matcha shakes you get two half-assed half portions of diluted iced matcha, with pieces of unbroken ice-cream still floating in it.

Recent Improvement at Notes (with Room for Growth on Coffee) I had a rough experience at Notes in the past (slow service, inattentive staff), but I recently decided to give them another shot. I'm happy to report a significant improvement! A friendly manager (possibly Italian?) helped out a new waitress and provided excellent service. He even apologized for the wait and offered a menu, a stark contrast to my previous experience. I visited twice for wine and snacks, and both times the manager impressed me with his extensive wine knowledge. He expertly guided customers towards the perfect selections. The white wines were fantastic! However, the coffee wasn't quite there. For the price (especially considering the service charge), the quality wasn't up to par. WatchHouse nearby offers a better cup for a better price. On the other hand, the service during my coffee visit was phenomenal (thanks Paige!). The Spinach & Feta Parcels were a delightful surprise! Crispy on the outside, creamy on the inside – just perfect. The flavor profile was excellent, with a great balance of textures and tastes. These would pair wonderfully with a glass of white wine, and I highly recommend trying them. Overall, Notes seems to be under new management, and the service has drastically improved. While the coffee needs some work, everything else was fantastic. I'll definitely be back for the Spinach & Feta Parcels and the great wine selection, but I might wait to see if the coffee improves before ordering it again.
