Prufrock Coffee: Reviews & Ratings
ordered an ice filter coffee, which was incredibly done! and a raspberry & banana muffin that tastes super fresh and moist the staff were so so lovely! chatted with the lady about the beans they use for their filter coffee and she was very informative and kind :D 5/5 recommend! especially their filter coffee
Best tasting espresso I have has in London until now , if you are into specialty coffee DO NOT give this a miss. Also has great beans to try.
Believe the hype, the mushrooms on toast are amazing. It's table service and we were very looked after to begin with. However I think we were forgotten about near the end and basically had to chase someone down to get a cake which put a dampener on the experience. The coffee was perfect as you can imagine
Found this place thanks to a quick look at the area on Google maps. The street it's located in looked deserted and I was sceptical about what I'll find here. However, it was as if I entered a different world once I approached the cafe - it was attracting a lot of people at that time of the day (late lunch) and it was packed. That being a good sign, I am always apprehensive of a crowded place so was in two mins about moving to another cafe down the street but something about the place made me walk in and all is they had a seat. The place is decent sized with plenty of seating but was buzzing with the afternoon crowd and the only seat I was offered was a counter stool facing the street which I liked. There are a couple of tables on the pavement as well for people to soak in the sun with their lunch/coffee/pastry. What makes a place outstanding is the people who run it and this cafe was a good example of it. The staff were full of energy and positive vibes managing the crowds pretty well with a smile on their face. I ordered a coffee and was slightly underwhelmed with the sweet treats on offer as I was ready for a big slice of cake which was not available on the counter. I opted for the tempting coconut almond cake and watched the baristas tirelessly make cup after cup of good coffee as the orders came in with the same amount of energy the wait staff demonstrated. The coffee and cake was brought to my seat quickly and they both met expectations. Coffee was just right and the cake was fresh, moist and packed with coconut and almond flavours and I finished every crumb of it. Enjoyed my time there and watching the steady stream of customers entering and leaving the place satisfied, I was pretty sure this place will remain a hit with the people. I'll definitely try the lunch menu next time as the food that I saw there on tables looked quite appetizing.
Prufrock Coffee is easily one of the best coffee spots I visited when in London. They have expertly brewed drinks and a fantastic selection of pastries to go with them. The atmosphere is relaxed and inviting, making it a great place to sit and enjoy a top-quality coffee. They have a large variety of coffee beans from various roasters to purchase for home brewing as well. Highly recommended!
Absolutely superb coffee place. Friendly smiling service - which you ain’t gonna get in a Starbucks for sure .... - coupled with excellent coffee and a great menu for food. The brioche bun was hot with a nice bite from the mustard. Will be back !!!!
Absolutely loved this place! Amazing coffee (great quality beans available), fantastic food and lovely cakes. Best brunch I had in a long time. Staff was beyond friendly, didn’t rush us, gave helpful recommendations and checked on us often. Place was packed on Sunday lunchtime, but worth the wait.
What a lovely experience at this place. The staff greeted me at arrival and continued to let me know the status of a table. The food was excellent and they could accommodate my dietary preferences. Of course the coffee was phenomenal. I had an oat flat white that was smooth. I even bought some coffee beans for home and it has been a nice treat in the morning.
