Sista Barista Cafe

"For fans of caffeine and rhyming words, there are few London coffee shops that will sort out your latte craving quite as well as Sista Barista on Westminster Bridge Road. Not only does this family-owned café do an apple and cinnamon bun that is entirely worth the mess of sugar that’s about to conquer your lap, it’s home to one of London’s best iced coffees. Their frappuccinos are downright delicious, like the kind of delicious where you keep saying ‘fmu frappuccinos are great’, they’ve got a vast range of hot coffee options too, ranging from chai lattes to cheap and cheerful espressos, and we haven’t even mentioned the savoury snacks yet. The falafel wrap? Fantastic. Just be warned that this place is popular with local office workers, so allow a little extra time for any queues. If you are a straightforward creature who believes that tasteful foliage and coffee is the source of eternal happiness, then you’ll also like Travel Café. A plant shop with a coffee window in the back corner, they’ve also got you covered with all the caffeine classics." - Heidi Lauth Beasley
