The Coffee Room

Great little place on the edge of the street.
The food was excellent we had a sausage roll a spinach roll and a BLT — service was as quick as could be expected for a very small staff in a very small place. Lots of different kinds of people from lots of places — students debating merits of political situations people talking about last nights nightlife All good here

Coffee is really flavoursome and it has a lovely covered outside area with heater. We wouldn’t have stumbled across it if it wasn’t for Unilocal reviews.

more could you ask for? Great coffee, good cakes and a lovely little seating area hidden out the back.
I stumbled across this place with friends on a Sunday afternoon and was pleased to see like some it didn’t shut at 4pm. The shop is charming, but very small with seating for only a few. However the shop has a little garden area with ample seating, an awning covering the area and infrared heaters. It was so cosy (even on a cold and wet day) that we stayed there for a good few hours and enjoyed more than one drink! An excellent little place to meet for coffee with friends.

Excellent white chocolate and raspberry brownies and lattés. Seldom find a place that knows the real difference between that and a cappuccino. This place has become my go to en route to work via Mile End station.

Lovely little coffee shop just off mile end station! It has both indoor and outdoor seating and their coffee is fantastic! The staff are really friendly and always very welcoming. Their cakes and sandwiches are incredibly and made fresh everyday which really makes such a massive difference!
Great to have such a cute little coffee place local to me! Only down side is that excluding the outside area’s the seating areas inside are a little limited so something to be mindful about if visiting on busy days.

The tomato and prosciutto salad is made with sliced deli style ham not prosciutto and should be advertised as so plus was it very underwhelming it was made with chopped up iceberg lettuce sliced tasteless tomatoes and squash? it was more like ingredients from a subway than an expensive fresh locally sourced type café but there was a big piece of fresh mozzarella which was nice. There was real prosciutto on some of the sandwiches I saw at the counter so it’s not like they just didn’t have it. What I was expecting was more like nice bed of rocket with sliced cherry tomatoes, artichokes, real prosciutto and fresh moz dressed with balsamic vinegar and olive oil… something just a bit nicer especially for the price. My other issue is that there is no wifi which should be a standard for coffee shops in today’s world which was very inconvenient. The outside area is cute and the coffee was good but the front area seating is super cramped.

A nice little coffee shop perfect to grab a takeaway on the way to Mile End Station or have a catch up with a friend (one or two only it’s pretty teenie tiny!). The coffee is good– although it does vary a bit depending on who makes it. They use Climpson and Son beans. Excellent.
There is a small court yard out the back that is great to chill out in. They also do pretty good sandwiches. In the am there is a whole host of sweet treats to chose from and croissants and an egg and bacon sandwich and in the arvo the other sandwiches come out. Think tomato, chorizo, brie or pumpkin, goats cheese and salad greens. The bread they use is a delicious so, so fresh sour dough which is also for sale as whole loaves.
No wifi.

I would probably say this was my local coffee shop but it isn’t. There are several around the area and many of which I love.
This is the coffee shop on the way to mile end station from my house. In fact for many, its on the very road they sterning walk along in the morning and evening. I wouldn’t be pushed to think that people see it and turn away. It looks so lovely and warm inside. The wonderful brazilian owners and staff truly know how to make a decent coffee. The flat whites are huge costa style lattes and the cake/​savoury selection is delectable.
Please go now!

I love this place, small, very friendly staff, good coffee. It’s looks very small but there is a little garden out back. The have a selection of sandwiches each day made with good quality bread and produce, and a nice evening pretty large selection of cakes. Did I mention the staff are friendly too? It matters.
Good to see a great little coffee shop like this in Mile End.

Really great place, really great service.
Little cake bits were lovely, the lovely guy behind the counter even brought over our stuff for us as he was serving other people.
NOT TO FORGET THE BEST PART.
A SMOKING AREA.
Covered in beautiful canopies.
Dubious whether its waterproof, but it provides basic shelter for all of us who can’t go without nicotine for longer than a minute.
But yes, best coffee in Mile End. And nicest place to drink it.
Definitely recommend.

I was in the area for a meeting and needed a spot with a table, coffee and wifi. I found the Coffee Room and found two out of three.
This is a lovely little shop and a nice getaway from the giant coffee houses branded around London. But I do mean little. There can’t be more than five tables in the entire place and even the ones that are there are pushed together. It was a squeeze to get around a person and sit down.
The staff here is friendly as all can be though and the coffee is well priced and delicious. They have a great selection of cakes and baked items which are displayed well all over the counter. This whole place is clearly someone’s passion project and it shows.
However, they do not have wifi, which was a shame because I would have stayed longer and ordered more things if they did. Ah well. This is a good spot to get it and go rather than sit and stay for sure.

I love this place — just around the corner from home, and my weekend doesn’t feel right if not started here. Super friendly bar staff, tasty coffee, and a large selection of interesting snacks.

Finally… is this a sign that Mile End is on the mend? My trek from home to Mile End every single morning has always been a depressing one as I leave behind greener pastures and find myself in… shall we say ‘urban’ Mile End. The nicest thing at this intersection as always been the Subway next to that shiny looking Keatons branch. Aye aye aye. SMH.
Alas, it would seem that those will soon be days gone by because this charming café is a new addition and just the thing I’ve longed to see on this sad stretch of road leading into Victoria Park. It was such a welcoming sight when The Coffee Room popped up seemingly out of nowhere during the bleak London winter. The café is small, I believe there are only 3 or 4 tables inside but there’s a small courtyard at the back. There’s a wonderful selection of cakes and pastries every single day and these will be displayed in the window to tempt you on your morning commute. Their espresso is excellent, well extracted and you don’t need to explain to them what a macchiato is. You can’t get that at Costa across the street, can you? Besides, nothing beats coffee from a real Italian owned café.
The Coffee Room isn’t hard to spot, it’s just a few doors up from The Greedy Cow and painted all grey. There’s no sign above the windows just yet but when the awning comes out ‘The Coffee Room’ is proudly displayed in trendy courier type font. Unfortunately you don’t see it unless you’re across the street: P
