    Great flat white. Love that they have only small size take-aways (I think they are 6oz?). Nice fitout as well.

    Great friendly staff and a barista who seemned to know what he was doing. I had a good and cream soy latte, on temperature. They get their coffee from Square Mile Roasters: 40% Columbia, 30% Ethiopian and 30% Brazil. Place is nice and spacious, they offer wifi.

    I loved this place in just about every way. The light and open atmosphere, the helpful staff and of course - the excellent coffee. My cappuccino was just about perfect. I highly recommend this cafe.

    Coffee excellent again.
    Drinking the guest espresso as a flat white. It was a Climpson and Son Brazil Daterra.
    Really tasty.
    Lovely gentle flavours. Not sharp and citrusy. Not heavy caramels.
    My best coffee all week.
    Service was harried by being busy.

    First impression was oh my goodness - so much space!
    In London, the trend has been towards smaller cafes and this was nice and refreshing

    Had to wait for this place to open one Saturday. Located just around the corner from where TS Eliot worked for four decades, this cafe is unassuming in appearance but serves an amazing coffee. Buttery and silky smooth, sweet caramelly aftertaste. Perfect patterned latte tops. Coffee made by guys... Read more

    We decided to venture out in the driving rain to try Store Street Espresso and I'm glad we did. This cafe is a little different to others in London in that it has a lot more space and it seems seating.

    The coffee was really good, only criticism was the chocolate brownie we had was on... Read more

    Very good coffee (La Marzoco Square Mile beans....what can go wrong with that?). Very spacious with various table sizes and one long table to share. Very happy and friendly staff that made my morning a bit happier :-)

    I was seriously impressed by store street; the fit out is great, the staff friendly, and it's in walking distance of the tube, the uni and the British Museum! Score! I had a cup of excellence guatemalan, it was brilliant! Highly recommended.

    Delicious espresso and great tasty snack sized cakes, particularly the custard brûlée. . Their espresso is well poured and full bodied, the atmosphere is laid back and the interior light and airy. The perfect place to take your time with a second cup and a book/iPad.

    A really enjoyable latte. Full bodied flavour, silky smooth and perfect temperature. Comfortable informal atmosphere which is uncluttered and fresh. Good service.

    Good atmosphere with a selection of delicious sandwiches. The coffee is nice, but my macchiato was made with too much milk. It was a decent piccolo latte though...

    A great flat white in the heart of London. Well fitted out little cafe.

    Excellent Coffee, smooth yet bold flavour that is a little unique from most. Deceptively large interior, friendly staff, plenty of seating.

    What a lovely surprise... after hearing so much about Store Street I had very high expectations - so rare in London to find so much space and such a relaxed and friendly atmosphere. The table service and good chat adds alot to how welcome you feel and the book swap is ace.

    A beautiful minimalist cafe with extremely friendly and relaxed staff. It's lovely to see somewhere where the owners are working behind the bar and which feels spacious.

    Delicious pastries and very good flat white (the molton chocolate is also something special), the whole place... Read more
