Reviews
4,3 in stars (as a breakfast place) Food/drink Nice filtered coffee, with great taste Greek yogurt with fruits was a sizeable portion with apples and apricots + granola (which was a bit sweet and not as nutty as I prefer) Then I had Turkish eggs - this was really awesome, spicy sausage with poached egg, some sort of yogurt underneath with amazing flatbread - this was the highlight, especially if you like it spicy and something other than the plain vanilla egg Benedict for breakfast. Price a bit on the high side paying 16 £ for the Turkish eggs, even if I must say the portions were sizeable (and I eat a lot). Service The girl at the counter seemed a bit stressed when I order, order than that it wasn’t much service other than serving my food in this case. Atmosphere Nice easy going semi hipster environment, liked it!
Found this place by recommendation from a TV programme and I was impressed! It’s a really nice cafe! Cosy vibes, trendy and felt really comfortable when I was there. I heard that they serve a good lunch menu though the purpose of my visit was to try out the bacon sandwich on their breakfast menu! They did not disappoint. Really great sandwich, delicious and nicely put together. Thickness of the bread and good amount of bacon and egg was nicely done. Loved how they also presented their tea, really nice and funky. Staff are professional and friendly. If I have time off during the week I will visit again as it only opens on week days.
For a city obsessed with flat whites it's actually hard to find an oat one in London where the milk's not burned - happily Catalyst delivered a beautiful smooth coffee, didn't decide to randomly turn it into a latte when I provided my own cup and, crucially, it was the perfect temp. I'll be back! Also had a delicious almond croissant.
Very solid coffee in a competitive area. Nice cafe set up, great safe and vibe. The 8.2 flat white was smooth and had good strength. A little bitterness came through at the end but that’s being super picky, great cup.
Really good coffee. Their specials menu was great too. For £14, a very filling and complete meal. They were very hospitable and friendly and checked in with me multiple times as I was there for a while. Very communal feeling and not pretentious at all. Highly recommend!
