Charing Cross Coffee

Very friendly staff, nice food. We go there pretty much every week at work :)
Try the aloe vera juice, it’s nice.

In search of a lunchtime coffee I popped into Charing Cross Coffee to sample their wares. A smallish seating area on the ground floor with a lovely quiet basement seating area underneath.
Quite impressed with the pricing of both food and coffee — both very cheap for the area. Lots of freshly made salads and sandwiches with plenty of filling choices. I nabbed a pastrami and Emmental ciabatta and a latte. Sandwich was great and packed full of meat for a measly £1.95! Coffee was good but didn’t wow me. Three different bean choices on clearly labelled hoppers for you to choose from. However I did have a great chat with the owner about where he sources his beans and what he plans to do with the menu in the future. It seems this café is here to stay this time and the staff have plans to cement themselves within the local area. I’ll definitely be back to try out their chicken salad. Yum!

I find it quite exciting coming here, I’m not sure if this is a pop or not as the same buisness has never lasted any more than a couple of months.
One month it could be a bistro, café or now a coffee shop.
As l was at the post office l thought l will call in and have my usual coffee to go, as you enter someone has placed one of these old jacket stands by the door nearly blocking the entrance.
They say there is more seating than before, but all l saw was a few stools dotted around without tables to put your coffee on.
To place your order you now have to go on to a stage that looks real odd, with the menu on offer looking good copying similar format to starbucks, a shame they didn’t copy the rest as it would have worked.
There is no home baking on offer here but pre packed Costco cake’s & muffins that have been wrapped in cling film.
The coffee seems to be ok but tastes a little plasticky for my liking, I’m not sure if it’s just the cups that they use.
