The Monocle Café

I had a bun and green oolong tea. no regret! the tea was amazing and i got hot water three times! the bun was also really good and simple. i saw many reviews saying it's a small place, i went here on tuesday 2:30pm so it wasn't so busy. but i might avoid to come during the weekend or busy time. the place was super cute and had a good vibe, and even the toilet! even though the toilet was very small, it was warm- they had a bidet- and i was so satisfied with this kind of details.

I was told this cafe was good. i accidentally went to the book shop, but the polite staff pointed me down the road. quite narrow as you enter but those staff are on the ball and served me with good timing and curiosity. the cinnamon buns are amazing and reminded me of my swedish fika days. i waited at the back and the kind lady brought me my items as the cafe was now extremely busy. £7 for an americano with oat milk and bun, extremely reasonable considering it was like being back in sweden. recommended and tucked away nicely.

Very trendy japanese style cafe. seating upstairs and downstairs (downstairs is warmer) the pastries are really nice. only downside is, their bagels are kept cold, would have been nice if they were warm. and there's not much to choose (food wise) on the menu. i had saw on google a dish i wanted to try, but the photo was taken a few years ago, but i hadn't realised😔, so i couldn't get it.

This is one of my favorite coffee shops in london. coffee is definitely the best i had while visiting the city. and the buns? amazing. i was in london for five days and came here twice. also the girls that work here are the sweetest. can't wait to be back!

It’s been many years since my first time visited this place. i’m glad the quality is as good as in my memory. i ordered flat white and a vanilla bun. the coffee is perfect with pretty latte art, the bun is nice, but too sweet for me. i think i would prefer to have the cinnamon or cardamom bun next time, or try their cakes. the staffs are friendly, also love the music and decorations in this little cafe. highly recommend to visit here if you visit london.
