Kin Café

I’ve been hearing about Kin for awhile, so I was excited to finally get there. I was tempted first by their menu online of a nice selection of vegan food. They did have a few selections on the day like avocado toast, sandwich, and a few others. But more importantly: CAKE. Most of the selection of baked goods were vegan and probably half were gluten-​free. Everything with nuts was clearly marked.
I was debating what to drink as they had nice coffee, a selection of loose leaf teas, freshly pressed juice and a hot drinking vinegar which I was very intrigued about. But since I saw all that VEGAN CAKE, it had to be just a black Americano to go with my Coffee-​Walnut CAKE. Coffee was flavorful, CAKE was moist and sweet (more coffee please), all in a cute little café.
That’s the only downfall, and lack of 5 stars. The minimalistic small space does not allow for very many people. But you do feel very special if you get to sit in a real chair! It’s a short-​ish walk from Goodge Street station which lets you pass by many little shops and boutiques which you make a note of to go back to later.
I will definitely go back, eat more CAKE and try some food and juices and teas and.

Another amazing coffee shop !!! 10 minutes walk from Oxford Circus .
Nestled in a quite street close to «The Attendant «.
Lovely spot. Outdore seating area ! calm atmosphere and as it’s nit too busy you can relaxed and enjoy coffee and food. (vegetarian and gluten free)
I love this place. Staff is very friendly and the barista is «top», he knows his job and he loves it .
I feel very well here ! And … Free wifi, network and password are on the blackboard with the menu …

If you’re (justifiably) sad at the demise of Covent Garden’s Food For Thought, Kin Café is your answer, and then some! How this place is still so relatively unknown I’ll never know but I’m so glad it is, and don’t get me wrong, lunch time was super busy, but with this standard of veggie and vegan dishes they still manage to maintain a chilled and welcome atmosphere.
Big and imaginative selection of salads are the kind that make carnivores think twice. Loads of gf and df options too. We had quiches with a different salad each. Juices so delicious I went back for another one.
I look forward to upgrading to 5 stars once I’ve sampled their breakfast menu and highly recommend coffee. A new firm favourite!

It’s really satisfying to be able to find a reasonably quiet café in Central London with excellent coffee. To be honest, there’s no reason why Kin shouldn’t be as bustling as, say, Tap, Kaffeine, Store St Espresso (especially seeing as they removed their plugs…), but I appreciate that I was able to sit here with my laptop for a while. I hope that they get enough business to, well stay open. I am worried as to whether this coffee boom is sustainable — will we end up like NZ, or will the coffee bubble burst, leaving us at the mercy of the Costas of this world? In the future, will Single Origin coffee be a precious commodity? Will rogue roasters (roagusters?) start cutting beans with Maxwell House until «Single Origin» coffees are, in fact, only 21% ‘pure’? I mean, you’ll be sold Peaberry, but it’ll probably contain mostly instant, some real beans, and dried cranberries to give it that zing. The future is blacker than a good espresso, mark my words.
My first couple of impressions — friendly staff (who are very particular about their music choices) and excellent attention to detail. I had two Finca Santa Barbara espressos (I think Notes?) — the guy made the first one twice as it wasn’t quite right. I bet it wasn’t even bad the first time around, but I appreciate that pride. The coffee was really good — this particular one is pretty rich with a really nice bottom end. Well, I had two, that tells you all you need to know. I particularly liked the mouthfeel (cannot say that word without sniggering to myself). They also do filters/​Aeropresses too for people that way inclined. I was a good boy and abstained from the pastries, but will check them out next time I go. I did, however, bring back a bag of Notes beans, so all good. Definitely will return in the near future as Kin really holds its own against the other quality coffee shops in the area.

In need to some fresh vegetable juice, I was sent to this spot by the owners of Mother’s Milk. Everyone here was awesome and happy to indulge my off-​menu requests. Great food, inviting atmosphere, hip environment. Recommended Highly.

This is london’s best gourmet healthy/​vegetarian/​vegan/​raw/​coffee-​connoisseurs café… full stop! I don’t think most of the customers are vegetarian; it’s the chef’s amazing creativity they come for and the vegan version of things (such as the amazing ‘cheesier’ tofu scrambled egg) usually taste better (and are better for you) than the non-​vegan versions they also sell! Even baked beans on toast here is 100% homemade and is a treat! The coffee here is also first class (espresso to die for) but it’s the creativity and amazing flavours of the food that sets this place apart from the same-​same unimaginative stuff everyone else peddles. Even if you couldn’t give a damn about healthy food, and hate vegetarians, you should check this place out, before Londoners discover it and the queues are out the door. Recently, some of the more obvious ‘run of the mill’ staples have started creeping into the menu, but I hope they stay with the impressive creative dishes that sets this little place apart and will eventually put them in the map. Five stars from me!

Amazing coffee, lovely staff and great atmosphere. I cannot wait to go back and try the food. I am fussy when it comes to coffee but this is definitely a place to stop off to grab a coffee on your way to work
