    There's coffee chains.

    There are premium chains like Think! NY (or Harris Hoole UK).

    There are small independents raising the bar like UR Cup NY (or Fred n Fran in Stokey). There are many more.

    There are great specialty coffee groups who are often... Read more

    First time visitor - won't be the last time though. Next time I'll wait for lunchtime so I can indulge in some of the food on offer....

    Serious coffee venue. Friendly& knowledgeable staff. Very short ristretto. Sweet. Latte was very pleasant. One of the blends got washed out a lot by the milk. Pourover clean and crisp. Cakes and sandwiches quite good.

    2 Ristrettos, 2 Pour Overs, 3 Lattes

    I must agree with other reviews here as this place sets the standard for coffee in London!

    I visited this place few times and was lucky enough to be served by the owner Gwilym Davies (2009 World Barista Champion) and James Bailey (one of top 5 UK barista 2012)....you can't ask for... Read more

    What can I say? Prufrock on Leather Lane is the benchmark for quality, consistency and innovation in London. To be frank, I didn't really 'get' Prufrock on my first few visits, but it has now become a place that I can't live without, despite the distance from where I live. I put this down to the...

    Chased down this spot after a quick bean hunt on a cold day. The reviews do it justice. Great coffee nice atmosphere, staff were friendly though brief as it was busy. Hard to spot from outside, as the name is written on the bollard. I'll certainly be back

    The best cafe in London. The coffee is exceptional. Everyone is friendly. On weekends it's spacious and relaxed. On Sundays you might hear a string quartet practising in the basement.

    Can't really add anything to what's been said already but this must be the best coffee in London. They've come a long way since Whitecross Street days but haven't lost anything in transit. Simply the best.

    Consistently superb coffee. The 6 ounce is the best flat white/latte I've had anywhere (in the world). Friendly staff, good banana bread, real chilled café.

    No surprises that this place is outstanding given whom they have running it! Outstanding coffee, a fantastic (and unusually large) space; wi-fi and plenty of space to sit and work if you want.

    5 Flat Whites, 1 Cold Drip, 1 Pour Over, 2 Espressos, 2 Lattes

    I've been here a few times. I used to frequent Glwylim's coffee cart in Whitecross St when I was a stuent at the Guildhall School. I was very happy to discover his cafe Prufrock opened near my teacher's place. Whenever I'm in town to work with him, I pay a visit here.

    I visited this cafe several times during a visit to London. Exceptionally well made espresso. The baristas are very friendly and great to chat to.

    after checking out the top 10 of the independent coffee shops in london, i finally made it to Prufock.

    the team were really open to talk about their beans, brew styles and a little of their take on the 'science' of coffee.

    i really digged the attitude and knowledge. i... Read more

    took a trip here late on a Sunday having read loads of reviews. the coffee was incredible and kicked my hangover right into shape. the baristas definitely knew what they were talking about and described the coffees on offer before making a carefully crafted flat white from the blend I selected....
