Best latte ever 😋 1st sip: great temperature with a little bit fruity with smooth texture 2nd sip: wow that's so fruity!!! 3rd sip: no more fruity but chocolatey instead Wow trust me it's better than any big chain coffee shop. It's like the difference of homeless and living in high end apartment! Will go again definitely. I order at 16:30 so nearly the shop closes. But I can't believe they are still having such high quality and good coffee without any sacrifice!! And double cup means my hands are protected from the hot coffee! ☕ Enjoy!

It’s a really small space and quite clinical in design I.e not warm and cosy which is what I prefer. The coffee (cappuccino) was tasty and I think appeals to taste buds accustomed to more fruity undertones. Service was really friendly. The salted chocolate brownie cookie was outstanding. Extremely tasty, not too sweet and soft and fudgy in the middle. I paid over £7 for both which is pricey but I guess for Marylebone - the norm. Round the corner is a lovely, peaceful park where you can enjoy if the seats inside are all taken (as they were for me)

Best barista in Marylebone. No competition. Wonderful taste. Beautiful art on the cappuccino. The special attention to the coffee preparation is unique. Check the photos and of course their own roasting recipes.
