Caffeine aficionados beat a path to the Leather Lane premises of “one of the early champions of speciality coffee”, where they imbibe information from the “friendly and knowledgeable staff” along with their brews. It’s a “comfortable refurbished space”, and there are “great pastries” and breakfast/brunch options to munch on.

“Great coffee” (and also stone-rolled and limited-edition tea) wins praise for this well-known brew stop near Hatton Garden, which also offers pastries, sarnies and other light bites.

This established and well-known Leather Lane caffeine hub may well be equal to the boast: “best coffee shop and baristas in the UK” – it’s certainly “much better than the nearby chains”, and serves “very good, proper coffee” from a selection of leading independent roasters. The breakfasts and light meals are also tasty renditions of carefully sourced ingredients.

Celebrating its 10th year, this City-fringe café near Hatton Garden takes its caffeine seriously, running its own barista training schemes and taking supplies from Square Mile Roasters and various guest roasters from all over Europe. Good light bites at lunch, too.

For 33 years we've been curating reviews of the UK's most notable restaurant. In a typical year, diners submit over 50,000 reviews to create the most authoritative restaurant guide in the UK. Each year, the guide is re-written from scratch based on this survey (although for the 2021 edition, reviews are little changed from 2020 as no survey could run for that year).
