12 Cake & Coffee in London

On the hunt for a London cafe? A good place is South Kensington, where a French community has settled in the midst of a busy tourist district, all thirsty for the good oil. South Kensington London cafes are open late to cater to this crowd, so you can be sure you’ll find one of the many quality cafes London has to offer here. Hackney, strewn with hip expats (including many from the Australian and New Zealand expat communities, rightly blamed for introducing the flat white to London), is home to some of the best cafes in London, where great coffee is expertly brewed.

London cafes have had a bad reputation, but that’s changing, with cafes in London now employing trained baristas, and an increasing number of London cafes becoming picky over the beans they use and the roasting process – some even import and roast their own beans. It’s no joke when we say that a sign that you might be sitting in one of the best cafes in London is to listen to the accent: Australian or New Zealanders brewing you a cup? You’re in for a treat. These intrepid coffee lovers take their coffee very seriously – and introduced the ubiquitous flat white to the UK.
