If you want good coffee, 4 Stars. If you want a balance of factors, you are looking at 3*. Been twice now, for a 'grab-n-go' coffee when I get off at Oxford Street Tube, or I walk down that direction. Will re-review in a few more.
+ Coffee is great quality no doubt, but about 20% more expensive than other places (£2.80-£3 for a filter coffee to go. Filter coffee didn't seem freshly brewed as it was poured from a decanter.
+ Beans: 3 Columbian and 1 Rwandan (read here: http://www.workshopcoffee.com/collections/coffee) and you can buy by the bag (£9-£12). Haven't bought from them, but presume they can grind them for you if you are that way inclined (but you aren't right? Come on...)
- It nearly always is 'to-go'; the sit-down area is in the back is always full and can't seat more than 12 people comfortably at a time anyway, and you won't want to stand awkwardly around the front except for...
+ ... the decor & Staff are lovely. Two lads working behind the custom Workshop barista machine are good fun, and even accidentally gave me the nickname 'Gen'. I'll roll with it.
- Has Porlex grinders (£42) and Aeropress for sale (£25), but if you buy them at that price you should be shot.
? Food: Don't know, haven't tried! Looked nice.
Some of the better coffee spots in the area, but don't go for a casual sit-down/work as you may not get a seat.
