The Observatory Coffee Shop

Expected better service. Normally wouldn’t complain, however the prices are sky high (17£ for avocado toast and a cup of coffee). The waitress toasted my bread with her bare hands, told me and other people to go get tap water and wifi password ourselves (the wifi password turned out to be “photography” (in my opinion it isn’t that hard to say). My toast then came undone, with avocado on the side for me to spread myself. Only complaint is the service for that price really 🤷‍♀️ Other than that wonderful atmosphere and location

The observatory is a lovely spot. The environment is amazing for working remotely or meeting someone for coffee. The gallery x cafe concept is very well done and cool. Service is wonderful - lovely staff. However, I have to say the long black was one of the worst I've had. Maybe I got expired beans because I've heard great things about the coffee. Would still recommend this place / come back because the atmosphere and service is so good.

Cute coffee shop with Wi-Fi - great for chatting or working. The coffee and chai latte are delicious, and the orange almond tart was soft and juicy with a subtle hint of orange.

Any Australians wanting good coffee always ask for triple strength! London coffee is weak and they never fill it to the top!! Just a warning you’ll pay between £3.5 - £5 for one coffee which is $7-$10 aud !!!! The photo is after one sip Service and snacks were yum but sad it’s so expensive for a coffee and it’s shit

Fantastic quality coffee, with to the point service. Carried by its beautiful interior and nice location. The coffee is good, they use nice alternative milks instead of cheap nasty ones. milk temp is always perfect and never burnt. Baristas are not the most friendly but they bring your drinks to you and are good at their job. Interior is very pretty and I love to come here for a short stop with my partner to enjoy the coffee. Even if it’s a bit pricey- for people who love and know good coffee, it’s worth it.

one of my favourite cafes in london! remarkable coffee quality (especially their americano) and very tasty pastries (especially the blueberry muffin) also has a fantastic atmosphere for studying with lots of varied seating available!

Pretty decent coffee and its nice that my iced latte gets delivered to me. The atmosphere is really comfortable and pretty with all the nice photos hung up. The wifi is also really strong so I would definitely recommend getting more coffee and pastries then study here

I had to kill some time while waiting for my clients in the area and I stumbled upon the cafe. It’s a 5-minute walk from Russel Square and 10 minutes from St. Pancras station, but the area is very peaceful and quiet, and so is the cafe. The cafe is literally in the space where they display photos, at the entrance of the gallery. I had Earl Grey for £3.5 and they prepared it in a glass pot, which was around 3-4 tea cups. it is probably a small thing for some people but as a tea lover it made me really happy as some careless places would just throw a whole tea bag into a cup and it ruins everything. The tea was delicious and I really enjoyed the quiet vibe of the cafe, which is also rare for central London. I’d definitely come back when I’m in the area.
