Tapped & Packed

El local es especialmente luminoso, con buena disposición y mesas al fondo. También hay un banco pequeño en la entrada desde el que ver pasar a la gente a través de la gran cristalera.
Hay una caja registradora donde pagas y realizas tu pedido y otra barra donde te lo sirven. Los muebles y el suelo son de madera, todo muy funcional. El personal es simpático y el café es bueno. Aunque yo no pedí, hablan bien de su soy latte.
Eso sí, si buscas algo sin estimulantes, olvídalo porque no tienen nada salvo algunos dulces y galletitas de fabricación casera.

Good coffee and friendly staff yet always a little crowded.

Great coffee and simple, cool vibe. Highly recommended! I love their soy lattes here and it’s easy to grab a table.

My favourite café — although difficult to give directions to, as it’s hidden by it’s No 193 signage! The best coffee in London, and delicious cakes — try the almond and raspberry.

Nice coffee, nice cookies in a bright room and a friendly atmosphere.
I have enjoyed my time after classes.

Oh look another coffee shop that sells coffee and crap salad.

I love this place, one of the newest Tapped & packed branches (Theres another one about 4 minutes away near the Bricklayers Arms) its my favorite place to grab coffee first thing on a Monday morning to start my week off. The coffee here is fantastic, up there with Monmouth in terms of coffee quality. The Flat whites they do here are to die for, really creamy and smooth, like no other coffee you’ll ever have.
The food is great, if you buy a bowl of hot porridge there are all these nice little jars of toppings you can lavish on top. The staff are always friendly and welcoming, one of the guys I usually see always makes sure to say ‘have a good day’ as I leave which is a really simple touch but makes it that more friendly.
I really like the décor inside, with low hanging bare light bulbs, quality wooden seats and slightly rusted sheet metal around the counter gives it a great style. There is a tree trunk with the sugar and coffee lids on, and all the sugar pots are re-​used golden syrup tins with ornate spoons.
The price are definitely at the higher end of the scale, but this is very much a ‘you get what you pay for’ place, the flat whites are £2.50, and only come in a smallish size, but it’s the best £2.50 you’ll spend all day and completely worth it. If you want a pint of coffee for under £2 go down the road to Starbucks.
I was told once that there is free wifi there but I’ve never been able to find any network on my phone.

This is the third T&P in what is now a burgeoning mini-​empire, the new Wardour Street café being its first outpost on the more famous side of Oxford Street.
The new coffee shop is the biggest of the three inside with a strip of skylights and what is now instantly recognisable for regulars as the Tapped & Packed distressed-​urban chic. Someone, somewhere is lining their pockets very nicely with their sales of squirrel cage lightbulbs and faux-​ancien clocks. And very cool water taps.
But what of the coffee? Well it’s no surprise that on the two occasions I’ve been since it opened its doors the quality is very much on a par with No. 26 and No. 114. That is to say talented (overwhelmingly Anzac) baristas pulling tightly-​made espressos and offering an array of brewed options (pour-​over & AeroPress) and teas. Has Bean and Square Mile beans were available when I was there, their espresso blend changes seasonally [if you want an indication of how in to their work these guys are, check out their blog:
.
The food offering at all three cafés — this being similar to the other two — has always been a little underwhelming in my opinion (making this more of a four-​and-​a-​half star than a full five — but we’re rounding up, so…). Pastries are fine, granola and (very) fresh OJ are on offer early in the day with sandwiches at lunch, but we’re not talking Kaffeine-​levels of thought here.
Pity they don’t have an in-​house chef like the aforementioned; but one thing they DO have over the other two cafés at least is a toilet, which for this end of town — assuming you’re not seeking the Gents for more insalubrious reasons — is a blessing.
In short, it’s a brilliant space, with excellent coffee and friendly faces all round. And a toilet. Let’s hope the tentacles of this multi-​talented beast spread even farther afield in the future.
