I recently visited Watch House Spitalfields, drawn in by the overwhelmingly positive reviews I had encountered. Eager to sample their coffee, my experience unfortunately fell far short of expectations. Upon entering, I was left unattended for a full five minutes before anyone acknowledged my presence. When I was finally served, the staff member promptly took my order and payment after I specified it was for takeaway. However, my wait continued, only to be interrupted by another staff member who rudely informed me that I was standing in the wrong area. I pointed out that I had been standing there for five minutes, clearly visible, without any prior guidance. His apology was abrupt, and he proceeded to reprimand the staff member who initially served me, further contributing to the unpleasant atmosphere. Overall, the service was cold and unwelcoming. The staff appeared visibly unhappy and disinterested in providing any semblance of customer service. While the aesthetics of the café were pleasing and my iced latte was decent, the poor service left a bad taste in my mouth. I will not be returning. My visit was extremely disappointing.

Fantastic coffee shop with a cosy restaurant serving incredible breakfast and brunch. Coffee is consistently sensational with good milk alternatives. Really friendly and helpful service. Highly recommend the Veg brunch (I’m not vegetarian but this is incredible); usually has gluten free toast options as well

I usually love watchhouse’s latte, today I tried the cappuccino, it was marvelous and silky smooth! The only thing that could have been better was the temperature, i would have preferred it hotter. My husband tried the batch brew and loved it as well. The staff were really friendly, especially the hijabi lady, she was so helpful and smiley!
