    I asked around on twitter where the best cafes were in London and this was one of the ones suggested to me. A sweet set up in the front of a clothing store I found kind of strange at first but I was quickly distracted by the quality of the coffee. The barista's were friendly and eager to tell me...

    I was a nonbeliever walking into this unassuming clothes store. Thought the added coffee machine was fun but gimmicky. Turns out, this is the coffee Mecca of London. Incredible coffee - silky texture, sweet golden caramel aftertaste, each cup poured like it was the final round of a barista... Read more

    There's a lot to like about this place. It's tucked away, a little hard to find at first but rewarding for those that dig. The coffee is excellent, and has a unique signature all of its own. Service is lovely and personable. Essentially it ticks all the boxes then gift wraps them with a big shiny ribbon.

    This is the best and most outstanding coffee I have had anywhere in the world. It is always amazing, especially when you're lucky enough to have Gwyllim serving you. always happy to talk coffee and give an insightful education on all things coffee. Something to aspire to

    Funky venue with perfect coffee made by real baristas on a real machine. Worth the trip even if you aren\'t a local.

    It's been here a while now and it's still excellent. They only do takeaway, so take that for what it is. Even with competition from Allpress and The Shoreditch Grind, it's still the best coffee in Shoreditch. It's a ritual for me to walk here during lunch to get my daily dose of quality.

    Ok, so this place is no cafe but pours outstanding coffee! Coffee are swan was a marvel. I think after four weeks in Europe and the UK this was the best cup I devoured.

    A little out of the way of town but this place is now home to not only an international barista champ but an... Read more

    What a sensational coffee ! I had heard it was good and travelled across London to try it. I was not disappointed. Initially I missed the location as it is set up in a clothes shop and is not obvious when you walk past. The coffee was perfect. The Barista was a young lady from Sydney. If you are in... Read more

    It is not the easiest place to find, but the coffee was worth all the effort hunting. Tucked into a small corner of a lifestyle boutique, Prufrock is what I will describe as minimalist coffee. Straight down to the bare essentials of coffee, no frills at all.

    I had an espresso pulled... Read more

    Tucked away in a clothes store, this unassuming coffee outlet in Shoreditch is the real deal. Nothing but an espresso machine just inside the front door awaits, where you'll pick up one of the best lattes in this part of London.

    Unusual location in a clothes shop, friendly and helpful staff, and amazing square mile coffee from a hand pull machine.

    Great coffee. Just coffee.
    Ask them about the machine.
    Ask them about the fact that in each pour the pressure changes and the temperature changes and the pour can be even a minute long without going bitter.
    But, why take my word for it that the coffee is good, read the... Read more
