The first (and, I believe, the only) place in the UK where the coffee is made in hot sand, and you get the foam twice, just the way it should be done..... This place is about coffee: take-away only, only one variety of biscuits and one variety of cakes, but a dozen varieties of coffee. The owner is very knowledgeable and is happy to answer your questions while the coffee is being made (it takes a couple of minutes). Vegan milk is available. Damage: £3 for a coffee and a dates biscuit. Overall, if you like coffee, it's the place to visit!

Special coffee. Ali and Abu Ali. They are very friendly. The best coffee in London💯 🇬🇧 Aliraqi 🇮🇶📿

Best coffee in London by far. I come here at least twice a day. Very friendly family run business, amazing selection Turkish coffee made on the sand which is a fun experience and very instagrammable, my favourite is the Ottoman Coffee and chocolate coffee. Very popular shop among locals including restaurants and cafes. I would also recommend the home made cake, I only tried this for the first time recently but I was so impressed but the size of the slices and tasted incredible. Very clean environment, bubbly owners and open until the evening!

Great experience if you like to give yourself a treat. The friendly staff use artisan roasts with natural ingredients where you can taste the difference. Their pistachio coffee tasted like a hazelnut hot chocolate using just three ingredients - water, coffee and sugar. Great home made nut and fig cookies too.

Staff was nice and friendly. Had Coffee and cake,Coffee was prepared infront of you (using sand to heat up, very cool). Would recommend it to everyone especially after a walk from little Venice 😄
