Notes Coffee Roasters & Bar | Trafalgar Square

Notes is a solid spot for a coffee break right in the bustling heart of London. The venue itself is stylish, with high ceilings and a welcoming vibe that works whether you're popping in for a quick coffee or lingering longer. While the beverages are good, the service can feel a bit slow. We only tried a matcha and a tea, but the overall charm of the place lies more in its ambiance than in standout drinks. If you’re in the area and don’t mind a slight wait, it’s worth visiting to soak in the relaxed yet refined setting. It’s a cozy retreat amidst the tourist rush of Trafalgar Square. I’d give it a 4/5 for the overall experience.

Perfect spot for brunch before the National Portrait Gallery. The service was quick and friendly and the food both lovely and delicious. Lots of options for a variety of palates - my picky tween, hungry teen boy and foodie teen girl were all very happy with the menu. Definitely recommend for a quick bite if you're in the area.

Great service with a smile! Sadly becoming a rarity in London. Especially in busy, central locations. The lady serving us was all time smiling and lovely. Had to deal with lots of customers in busy Saturday afternoon but done it with grace and constant smile. Kudos to her! The chai coffee latte was delicious. Cake standard. Interior is ok. They add service charge on top of a bill but this was deserved although I had only coffee with cake, no food.

We are used to going to Notes in the city and Moorgate. This coffee shop is as great as the other ones. Perfect for a very tasty Tchai latte with a slice of cake. Friendly staff

I've been here two times - the first time was a Sunday afternoon - very busy and loud, but the coffee was great. I could excuse slow service at that time since they were very busy, but the second time I came was a different story. I came on a Thursday afternoon - not particularly busy. My order was taken, but I had to wait 20 minutes to receive my coffee (a simple flat white). I at first didn't think much of it, but then I noticed that people who had arrived after me had already received their drinks. It turns out they had totally forgotten about my order! No apology, no explanation, just a "You wanted a flat white, right?" and then it turned up 3 minutes later. Ultimately, the coffee is okay, especially for the price, and the atmosphere is pretty nice for socialising (on quieter days)... you just have to expect slow service.

Super cute café, the breakfast is delicious and they have a lot of gluten free options. The service is really good and especially the one with the black glasses, he is so kind and heartwarming. The next time I come to London, I will definitely come here!☺️

This is a good place for breakfast & brunch. Very well located thou it was quite calm when I visited. The food was on point. I had the Super Breakfast & will do again. I would recommend it. The coffee sizes are a bit little for me thou but all in all it’s a great choice

First Brunch in London. The place is classical and food is perfect. The source is kind of the one we used in China!
