Exmouth Coffee Company

Ran into this little place to get out of the rain. Nice display of cakes, bakes, salads, flat bread sandwiches, pizza, quiche, etc. I had the veggie quiche and a hot chocolate, while my sister opted for an apple crumble which was too soft and sweet tbh, but drinks were nice.

The food in here is very very nice. Little on the pricey side of things but I think it’s worth it. The quiche and salad was lovely.
Service errs on the pretentious side of things but tolerable, maybe they were just tired?.

This is the kind of place that just slaps you in the face with all the goodness of Europe. How about the most velvety, savory quiche you’ve ever had? Buttery croissants? A cannele that redefines the genre? Solid espresso? Adorable, multi-​lingual baristas and smiling chefs? On top of a tube station? Blam. I’ll miss you when we’re not together, Exmouth.

This is such a funky little coffee shop. The shop itself is kind of hard to find as the name isn’t on the sign (it’s just a black sign). I stumbled upon it accidentally and was attracted by all the awesome looking pastries in the window.
Even though it was busy (mid-​day Wednesday), the service was very prompt and we didn’t need to wait long. We just ordered coffees, but the coffees lived up to the reviews and was excellent! It even had cute foam art!
The vibe is very cool with old looking wooden tables. There’s some cool art on the wall with drawings that former customers have made on pastry bags.
Overall, it’s a great little place to have a chat and a cup of coffee. I would and will be visiting again!

If I have to be honest, they make excellent coffee here, and I drink coffee a few times a day, so I really mean this when I say it. They also have a good choice of wholesome snacks, which is really cool. The location is great — next to the Whitechapel Gallery and very close to Aldgate East station. I would strongly to recommend it to all Whitechapel visitors.

Cute little hispter café in Aldgate East. Great coffee! And what seemed like insane pastries!

This café can be your typical goto for studying or eating lunch. The kitchen is in the back of the café which is cool. The interior is bright and has good vibes with friendly baristas. The only downside is wifi is not the best… It can be really really slow. but other than that, everything else is great.

I ruddy love this place! So much!
Wonderful staff, lovely food!
I’ve been here a couple of times, and I’m about to start a new job round the corner, so after my discovery of their lamingtons last week — I am going to increase in dress size tenfold. Seriously! Such sexy stuff,
Eat in and take out. Quiche is beautiful with a good heap of gorgeous salad! Highly recommended!

Der Kaffee ist wirklich der Hammer. Wir aßen Porige mit Banane und Honig und einen Schokocrossinant, frischgepressten O-Saft…Super Lecker… Toller fürsorglicher Service… Wenn es nicht nur so auf die Hüfte gehen würde

Nice little place! The vibe here is fantastic… Perfect noise level… Great music… Just good overall nice vibe. You know how some coffee shops feel like you entered a library? And others are so culturally void like Starbucks. Oh and fyi if you think the culture in Starbucks is real… Yeah that’s called marketing.
Anyway… This place is real. Prices are good. Coffee (cappuccino and black coffee) is good (not amazing but certainly worth coming). I also had a quiche which was really tasty.
My service experience was downright awful though… Friendly but wow really bad. Think high school kids running the place bad. That said I don’t care, and don’t take points off reviews for coffee and food places. I suppose if they shot me I would, but otherwise I think most looking for reviews (like me!) want to know about the ambiance and the quality of the product, which for this place is a 4 on quality and 5 on ambiance.
Hope that helps Unilocalers!

Petit café bien sympathique pour prendre son petit déj, son dej, son goûter ou même juste pour prendre son café à emporter.
La déco est mignonne, un peu old school avec ses petites chaises en bois, son sol noir et blanc.
Même sans connaître l’adresse pn est tout de suite appelé par la vitrine qui laisse apparaître des tas de bonnes choses à manger: muffin, cookies, salades, quiches, sandwich, pizza… Tout à l’air délicieux.
On a testé une salade d’endive à la pomme, noix et ce qui est vraisemblablement une version très très douce d’un fromage de type «bleu». Pas le roquefort français qui piqué donc et le tout accompagné d’une mini quiche saumon brocoli très tendre et d’un bon thé vert histoire de se réchauffer.
L’endroit est petit et le personnel n’est pas toujours au meilleur de son potentiel mais la bonne bouffe, les boissons et le wifi gratuit rattrape facilement les mauvais points.

The good: Consistent coffee & food. I would say the coffee here is on the milkier side. The flat bread sandwiches, salads, and baked goods are always fresh. Canelé is a must! If you eat in, you’ll get a side salad with your food.
The meh?: service isnt always top notch, some are definitely quicker and friendlier than others. However, the owners are very nice and I have been given free baked goods for waiting longer than usual for my coffee.
The bad: Food (not baked goods) is pricier. For cheaper food I would suggest going 2 doors down away from the tube entrance — you’ll see a display of sandwiches at the window. You can get more filling (but probably less healthy) sandwiches, pizza, quiches, and even pastas for under £4.
To other reviews: Many people, most Americans, are unaware that many European coffee shops dont serve ‘regular drip coffee’ and generally the espresso drinks are double shots. That ‘long black’ and ‘Americano’ will be bitter. Do go ahead and stay at Starbucks if you can’t take it.

I do not know if it is because I am often visiting this place with a hangover and an empty stomach, or because the queue and the peering at the delicious baked delights, or even the cool ‘no-​name-​hipster’ vibe that oozes out of this establishment. but this is one place you have got to go to !
I go for a fresh carrot and ginger juice to wake me up and make me feel all healthy and stuff. Then a standard panini with a side salad, they literally fill up the rest of the plate with the chosen salad (s) — the portions are perfect for hangovers and such. Definitely worth the wait. but do keep an eye out for tables and for those who are waiting to take away, or sit down. it is a busy place and the staff are brilliant and handle the peak times well with the space given. The décor is cool and hipster, much like Shoreditch. The food is varied with pizzas to paninis to delicious, healthy salads with beetroots and beefy tomatoes.
A must for tourists, locals, passerby’s… and those as hungover as me on a Saturday/​Sunday ! See you there this weekend !

Exmouth Coffee Company is as good as they say it is. I only had a single shot in my flat white but even with half the usual amount of coffee the depth of the roast came through clearly and strongly. Wow.
They do food too which in my case (vegetarian pizza) was okay rather than stand-​out. Still, I’m overlooking this given how unusually good the coffee was.
ECC scores in other ways: friendly staff, reasonable number of tables and chairs, a warm space generally (not something that can be said for the white walls and clean lines of many a modern café), free wifi. Definitely somewhere I’d choose to hang out if I spent more time in East London.

No, no and no!
If you want to meet The rudest staff you now know where to go!!!
My Américano was so bitter I had to ask for extra water, add sugar and still could not drink it
The fruit Scone was nasty and The raspberry muffin was stale
They have a tiny table outside :(
The only silver lining is The súper fast wifi
Walk half a block and you can get a fairly decent starbucks
And there you have it !!!

Chaque matin pendant 3 jours nous avons pris notre petit déjeuner ici! Un délice! Latté parfait, pain au chocolat comme en Belgique (je né me risqué pas a dire aussi bon que si nous étions en France!), choix entre salade de fruits, muesli, granola, yaourt et porridge pour prendre des forces et jus de fruits pressés pour les vitamines! En moyenne cela revient à 10/​12£ pour avoir un vrai bon ptit déj avec café, jus, pain au chocolat et porridge par exemple!
Seul bémol, tout est exposé sans être protégé! C’est très beau, ça fait envie mais il né faudrait pas que quelqu’un éternue juste au dessus …

Love this place. Very sweet folks working there, sweeter delicious desserts, and fabulous coffee. The cherry and almond croquant was outstanding as was the granola tart. they also have an interesting selection of quiches, wraps, salads and other tasty fare. The Whitechapel library/​art gallery next door has done very cool and contemporary exhibits.

Good, strong coffee in a cute shop, but pricy even for London. The décor feels old school, simple, sort of Parisian – black and white tiled floor, wood tables and chairs that seem like antiques or made from recycled wood. There’s a big selection of various kinds of sammiches on baguettes and panini and more. The flat white is made well, and the coffee flavor is strong but not bitter. They sell their own bean blendsbto make at home. But a small was 2.70, even more than at Monmouth. So it’s good, but not really a place to go regularly. However, there’s free WiFi, they’re until 8, and they’re cool with people hanging out, so it’s a good place to sit for a while to work or wait for a meeting, etc. The chandeliers are impressive.

Oh Exmouth Coffee, you gem you…
Seriously, I love this place. It’s bright and light, the service is excellent, the flat whites are artfully presented, the food is delicious and there are always plenty of fresh salads (watermelon, rocket, and mild goat cheese… Are you kidding me? Did you read my mind?)
There are a few small tables outside in case you want to people watch the Aldgate East crowd but I also like to grab a corner table, throw on a podcast, and sip my weekend espresso in peace. Free WiFi is a big plus.
I’ve never had a bad experience here. Several times the baristas have gone above and beyond, bringing me water I didn’t ask for… One Sunday, after a few hours working, they even brought me an «extra» cappuccino they had accidentally made. Really, this true coffee shop love.

A very good coffee house (finally!) on the Whitechapel Rd. It’s actually closer to Aldgate East tube station, which makes it almost in the City. But I digress.
They have excellent coffee here, and I have to give it five stars based almost solely on that factor. But if you venture in and try the food, you’ll be very pleased. They always have a rotating selection, and everything I’ve tried has been fresh and tasty.
The first thing you notice when you look in the window is plenty of pastries, but they also do a variety of salads as well, along with sandwiches, quiches and pizza slices. To top things off, they sell fresh coffee beans too, roasted, unroasted, whole beans or ground, it’s up to you. This is a god-​send to me as I’ve been looking for another source.
Every time I’ve stepped in here, the atmosphere has been buzzing. It’s right next to the Whitechapel gallery, so sometimes you get a bit of minor congestion near the doorway, but you can subtly bypass it. The staff are very much in tune with that dynamic — they’ll catch eyes with you and take your order, if you’re ready to order before the «slow poke» ahead of you.

Located next to the Aldgate East tube station near Whitechapel Gallery, this café oozes hipster cool, yet is unpretentious with a large cult following.
Exmouth is know for it’s extra fine coffee, roasted in house. It’s a bit too strong for my taste but I can understand how serious coffee lovers/​snobs go caffeine gaga over it.
There is a great range of fresh, healthy salads salads, meat and vegetarian wraps, quiches, bakes and pastries on offer, displayed at the counter. Very filling and satisfying.
There is no name on the outside, but the constant flow of people going in and out is a dead giveaway that this café is A+.

5 stars for 3 reasons.
1 — most importantly, their coffee is really good. So far I’ve had some hit or miss coffee in London, but Exmouth is producing the real deal, at least on the espresso side. I’ll have to try the filter coffee this weekend. Bonus points for roasting their own.
2 — good food. My blueberry muffin and my wife’s broccoli quiche were both delicious.
3 — great people. We had a bad day last Friday, and Saturday morning we really didn’t want to deal with the world. The barista who served us at Exmouth Coffee was so nice that she (along with the great coffee and breakfast) actually improved our whole day.
Plus the place is cute and a good haven away from the traffic of Aldgate and craziness of Brick Lane/​Spitalfields/​Shoreditch. Totally recommended.

Das beste Café in London! Oder eines davon :-) Frisch gerösteter Kaffee, selbst gebackene Köstlichkeiten, alles in einem modernen und ansprechenden Ambiente! Klar, das ist kein «gemütliches Oma Café», sondern ein Platz für das kleine Frühstück am Morgen oder den leckeren Kaffee zwischendurch!

Places like this make me think that I ventured out to East London too late.
I stopped by to grab a bite on my way to a design fair, what a wise choice that was!
The food was delicious, especially the aubergine pizza. Coffee was good (the latte art was really pretty). It surprised me that they actually had really decent macarons.
I really liked the chic rustic style interior. It definitely has a hipster vibe but I’m glad it’s not too over the top. Also a very good place for people watching, it seems to attract a lot of trendy (but with good taste) young Londoners.

super location, lecker essen und guter Kaffee.

Durch Zufall sind wir auf dem Weg zur U-​Bahn Station auf diese Bäckerei gestoßen und hanen es sofort zu unserem Lieblingsfrühstückslokal erklärt.
Eine reichliche Auswahl an süßem und pikantem Gebäck und der beste Kaffee seit langem — der Macchiato.
An der Theke bestellen, rasches Service an den Platz und ideale Lage unweit der Aldgate East Station.
Die Preise sind für die gebotene Qualität gerade noch ok, geschmacklich ja sowieso um Welten besser als das, was ich bislang als Frühstück in Londoner Hotels serviert bekommen habe.

Muy buen sitio para tomar un cafecito tranquilamente. También tienen comida, y los dulces son una delicia.
Hay que tener cuidado mirando por el cristal, la presentación que tienen es tan buena que te dan ganas de entrar y cogerlo todo.
No tienen muchas mesas pero yo siempre que he ido no he tenido problema para poder sentarme.

Sin duda, el mejor café de la ciudad.
Si estás a dieta no vayas, no podrás resistirte al ver el mostrador de dulces!
