Archetype Coffee is a cute little spot that feels more like a cosy nook than a full-on cafe. I think it comfortably seats about seven people, maybe up to ten if you squeeze in. It’s got that minimal, specialty coffee vibe without feeling pretentious. The coffee is great and the guy at the counter was super friendly. I felt totally welcome to sit with my laptop, even though the setup isn’t really made for long working sessions. The tables are pretty low and more suited to a casual catch-up than typing away. No wifi or outlets either, so not ideal if you’re planning to camp out for the day. That said, I needed about two hours to get some stuff done and it worked out just fine. I did pop in on a hot day and there was no AC or fan going, so it got a bit stuffy. They pulled the blinds down which helped a little, but it was still fairly warm the whole time. All in all, it’s a lovely spot if you’re in the area and want a quality coffee in a relaxed, low-key setting. Just don’t expect it to be your next remote working HQ.

Couldn't post this review fast enough. This is the best flat white I've had in London. Had one sip and immediately felt it was a quality roast. Only downside is it's very far from home

This delightful little spot is an absolutely gem, perfect for a quiet chat with a friend or losing yourself in a good book. The owner, Aaron, is a lovely person and chatted with me for ages - it was even very inspiring! Oh, and the coffee is superb! ✨☕️👌🏼
