Bloomsbury Coffee House

Hey Bloomsbury Coffee as soon as I walked by it was love at first sight. Then I saw the words ‘Chilli Chai Latte’ and the rest is history.
Cute little place that you’d blink and miss it. Discreet entrance due to fact you have to go down a little stairs. Front room is airy and light though I moved to back where it was much more packed sitting.
A lot of students possibly because of nearby uni students. Lot of people eating too so might be quite cheap but didn’t check. Seems to be an in the know popular place as it kept getting more crowded and this was random time during the day.
Overall it’s a cute little place to spend time in with good quick wi Fi with a good coffee. Nice atmosphere inside too.

Preh.cious. Needed to meet a friend around Russell Square and this came up for an option that was open on a Saturday afternoon. I got there, thinking it was closed, only to realise that the entrance is actually on the basement level and had to go down some stairs first! Lovely homely atmosphere and I ordered a chilli chai latte that wasn’t too strong on the chilli, but quite delicious. Stayed for about an hour and a half, but feel like this place would be great to do some remote working in as well.

First of all, this coffee shop provided me with the best croissant I’ve had in all of England — it was soft and chewy on the inside but crisp and flaky on the outside. It set my day off to a perfect start. The coffee was also good. The vibe of the café is pretty chill — many guests coming in and out throughout the day. The wi-​fi is fast, and the employees do not seem to mind you sitting for a while to get some work done. Around lunchtime, there is a wide variety of quiches and sandwiches available as well, and there are several vegetable mixes that looked extremely appetizing though I did not have a chance to try them.
It’s really close to UCL and SOAS, making it super convenient for college students. Will definitely be back.

Absolutely love this place. Was meeting up with a friend in euston/king’s cross area and it was up to me to choose a place. I opted for Bloomsbury Caffe as the reviews were great and it was inbetween the two stations so good location. I found it pretty easy to get to but my friend didn’t :(. I ordered a tea pigs chai latte with soy milk which was lovely and my friend ordered an Americano which he really enjoyed. The coffee shop is really cute. I did find that when it gets busy you will bump into the people on the next table. The tables are quite close together which can be uncomfortable when its busy. All in all a great place and somewhere I will definitely come back.

An unpretentious little café in Bloomsbury, with good music, fast wifi and great food (I haven’t Tried the coffee but the goat’s cheese quiche is amazing).
Staff are nice and welcoming. Great for talking or studying. Highly recommended!

Situated down the stairs of Tavistock is this cosy little coffee house. People come here for coffee, lunch, or even to study. Staff are always friendly and the coffee is quality. Perfect for a quick escape from the buzz of the street

A nice and student-​frienly coffee shop. Nice baked goods as well. Many seats so no fears of being asked to chage you seat for groups.

Lovely coffee, beautiful location. Cosy, quirky café hidden away in the midst of Bloomsbury.
They also sell salads, sandwiches, soups (the lunch menu changes daily), smoothies, juices, teas, and the highlight– freshly baked goods. (Two words– cinnamon buns.)
Definitely worth a visit!

Checked this place out based on Unilocal reviews below and was not disappointed. Excellent coffee, brewed to perfection. Friendly staff. Nice atmosphere. Cakes looked pretty damn good too, but I resisted the temptation (on this occasion anyway).

Nice place to settle down away from the hubbub on the street-​level!
Came here for a bite to eat on Sunday morning, they have several breakfast items available, and echoing another review, it’s not too different than what you can make at home, but the ample seating and tasty coffee (got a macchiato) makes this a solid place to visit.

Cute little place. Great friendly service. Yummy food! I will definitely be back.

English breakfast was pretty cheap and filling. I’ll be honest and say there wasn’t anything too special about it-​most people could probably cook a similar meal at home. But I guess the appeal is that it tastes home cooked :) the other thing that was a little annoying is they don’t let you choose what tea or coffee drink to come along with the full English breakfast… they charge you extra for anything besides English breakfast tea or regular coffee.
Overall a good café: good food, good drinks, good atmosphere, and they even have wifi!

Hidden gym down a set of stairs. Great coffee and snacks if you’re in the area.

Hidden away in Bloomsbury, this place had great coffee and nice service. Ps. Free wifi and it’s open by 8am on Sunday mornings. Great spot!

I was in the area and looking for a place to grab a quick lunch before heading over to the British Library, and after searching through Unilocal,I decided to make a detour and head to this little coffee house. It was cold & dreary, but I am very glad I made my way there!
For a small coffee house, they have quite the sandwich/​lunch selection, and after a few minutes, I went with a latte and a pesto, avocado sandwich. The latte was delicious, and the sandwich was easily the best of its kind that I have ever had, which is quite the compliment from a strict carnivore!
I would definitely return if I was in the area.

An underground coffee shop with hand drawn plates of animals in pants? Count me in.
I had a meeting with a woman in Bloomsbury and she suggested here. Turns out she’d never been but walked by it a million times and always wanted to check it out. So that’s just what we did.
I’m surprised she saw it actually. If you weren’t looking, you’d walk right by, ignoring the black chalkboard sign pointing you down the stairs. But don’t ignore it and walk down those stairs, they only lead to good things.
This is a medium sized coffee shop. Order from the bar at the front and then snag a table (if there are none in that room, there are more in the back.) I happened to get lucky and someone was leaving as I walked in, but every table was taken. It may be semi-​hidden but clearly still popular.
My only issue is that if it’s busy, service can be a little slow. You’re also not sure if you’re supposed to pick up your coffee at the bar or have it be brought to you (you get a spoon with a number on it and they will bring it to you, but I think you can also wait for your drinks.)
Overall, I would come back in a second for more coffee and treats. Handsdown.

£2 for a bottomless cup of filter coffee. It’s just like being back in the States, score. And for this reason, I am currently unable to comment on the quality of their espresso drinks, perhaps I will eventually be persuaded to deter from this novel (for London) treat.
Breakfast was delicious. I would say a little bit pricey for the portion size but certainly tasty. The porridge had the apposite texture (indicative of proper overnight oat-​soaking), the potato cakes which accompanied the scrambled eggs were more akin to pancakes in texture and appearance but still enjoyable.
Not much seating space inside as the place is tiny, but if you do grab a spot it certainly feels cosy being sunken from street level. It’s actually the breakfast café of the hotel above but it nicely maintains an independent café atmosphere.

Aside from having strange hours, I love everything about the Bloomsbury Coffee House. They offer a variety of sweets, food options, and of course, coffee. The place can be a bit hard to find but just keep an eye out for a large black easel atop a beautifully mosaic-​ed stoop.

This was my local coffee stop when I stayed on this street recently and it was a big highlight of the trip.
Got a takeaway one morning (where I learned that a ‘roll and bacon’ doesn’t exist) and a lovely sit-​in job another.
My ‘bacon butty’ was three slices of toasted bread (white and brown) cut into triangles in a box. At least four slices of thick bacon in there. Proper sorted me out!
Cooked breakfast sitting in was also excellent, and good value for money.
A nice clean sleek interior with funky decorations and books will make you feel right at home.
Note: breakfast served only until 10.30 during the week (12.30 at weekend).
Recommended.

Cute, delicious, great selection, friendly.
