The Coffee Tree London

Reviews

1. HK ★★★★★

   I stopped into The Coffee Tree totally by accident — I was early for something nearby and needed to kill a bit of time, so I figured I’d grab a coffee and sit down for a minute. The place doesn’t scream for attention from the outside, but once you’re in, it has this kind of comfy, slightly old-school charm. It reminded me of the sort of cafés you end up adopting as “your spot” without ever planning to. I got a cappuccino, mostly because my brain wasn’t functioning well enough to choose anything complicated, and it was actually really solid — smooth foam, decent temperature, not overly bitter. You can tell they actually care about making a proper cup instead of just rushing drinks out. The barista was friendly in a very normal way, like someone you might chat to on a bus, not that over-the-top “HELLOOOO HOW’S YOUR DAY GOING?!” type of thing. There were a few people scattered around doing their own thing — someone reading, someone working, a couple just chatting quietly — and the atmosphere felt easygoing in that “nobody is in a hurry here” sort of way. I ended up staying longer than I meant to, which is always a good sign. Honestly, it’s the kind of café you remember later when you’re nearby and think, “Yeah, let’s go there again.”

   Wonderful medium sized cafe located close to Old Street Tube station. My decaf espresso was excellent, and my pain raison was freshly made. Nice mellow jazz music playing on a Sunday afternoon too.

   Great coffee and atmosphere. But I have to take some points off for the pricing. It’s unfortunate but they charge £4.20 for a latte plus 70p for alternative milk. So an oat latte here will run you £4.90, which is more expensive than any comparable coffee shop I’ve visited in London except maybe Starbucks.

   I had the hot chocolate from coffee tree and it was the worst hot chocolate I have ever had in my entire life. It tasted of mostly milk with hints of bitter chocolate, no sweetness in any sense, totally not what is expected from a hot chocolate. Perhaps the other drinks are great but the hot chocolate is definitely one to miss! Don’t get it!

   Everytime I enter this coffee shop there's no one in sight, it appears the staff go outside to smoke or drift and watch customers wonder aimlessly looking for someone to serve them. This isn't isolated, it's every time. I'm not sure why they don't go in as soon as they see someone arrive. Nicely decorated, nice selection of teas, decent cakes, atmosphere is okay.

   Good coffee and kind staff with good pastries. A nice local coffee house where locals probably frequent.

   Much better than I expected. No V60 or filter but the Black Americano was spot on, no bitterness or metallic finish. Smooth, relatively neutral coffee. Slightly dark, but again not bitter. Would go really well in an espresso martini! Staff are super friendly and it's a great place to sit and watch the world go by.
