  “Went on a Saturday morning and it didn't land. The filter was thin and watery, which usually means batch brew that's been standing rather than anything wrong with the beans - they use Caravan, so the raw material is good. The pastries tasted like they'd been out since the previous day. Prices are Canary Wharf prices, so you notice. The space itself is great - two shipping containers round a courtyard, plenty of outdoor seating, a nice place to sit. I suspect it's built around weekday office trade and simply doesn't turn over enough at the weekend to keep the filter fresh. Might well be a different experience on a Tuesday.”

  “Montgomery Square is one of the most attractive public spaces in Canary Wharf. Surrounded by modern architecture, waterside views, cafés, and office towers, it offers a pleasant atmosphere whether you’re working nearby or simply exploring the area. The square is well maintained, clean, and benefits from excellent transport connections via the Jubilee line, DLR, and Elizabeth line. What stands out most is the balance between the busy financial district environment and the open public space. There are plenty of places to sit, grab a coffee, or enjoy lunch outdoors. The surrounding estate feels safe and professionally managed, with impressive landscaping and regular events throughout the year. The location also provides easy access to shopping, restaurants, and waterfront walks, making it a great spot for both professionals and visitors. While it can become crowded during weekday lunch hours, the overall experience remains excellent. A modern, vibrant, and well-designed part of Canary Wharf that showcases the best of London’s Docklands. Pros * Excellent transport links * Clean and well-maintained public space * Great cafés and restaurants nearby * Attractive waterside setting * Safe and professional environment Cons * Busy during office hours * Can feel corporate compared with other London neighbourhoods Overall: A stylish and convenient destination in Canary Wharf, ideal for work, meetings, coffee breaks, and enjoying the waterfront atmosphere.”

  “Great food and drinks . However, horrible atmosphere by what I believe were the managers (sitting around) It is really disappointing to overhear them gossiping and talking negatively about their bartenders, does not reflect well on the company.”

  “Great decor and vibes but the service is incredibly slow and not worth the wait. The ice latte is essentially a tasteless cup of milk. Would like to try this place for drinks but wouldn’t recommend or come back for coffee.”

  “The coffee tastes good, but not amazing. The service is fine. The café atmosphere isn't really my thing. I ordered a Corridor Coffee.”

  “Too cool for school. Come for the coffee, stay for the good music playlist. The staff are friendly and service is quick. The pastries and baked goods are oversized and tempting, but I didn’t try them this time. There is some good volume to the music outside, with so many tables and chairs around I can imagine it having an amazing atmosphere after work hours or at lunch. I’ll come back for some cocktails one day in the summer for sure!”

  “Giving 3 stars just for the breakfast service. Service was nice and fast and personalised by asking for your name. Ordering area very small so you have to wait outside but luckily it wasn’t raining today. Atmosphere was nice with good music in the background. 3 stars because my drink came in a tiny cup (don’t be fooled by the pic) which cost £4 and the average price for all coffees. The menu was small as well. Also, the almond croissant looked delicious but tasted a day or 2 old. However, I would like to return in the summer for the bar and evening atmosphere and food. They also give discount for NHS workers here too so it’s plus. Nit sure if this extends to evening service but I guess I will find out in the summer.”

  “Not sure if I want everyone to know how great 640 East is as I don’t like queues! It’s the best coffee on the wharf by a mile. The staff are so friendly and really build a rapport with their customers. Their cakes and bakes are delicious and there is a great selection of cold drinks. It’s the perfect antidote to a tough day in the office and a short visit, even for a takeaway, improves my mood and stress levels. Thank you team!”

  “Serves passable coffee at pace to the many nearby office workers. Interestingly housed in a shipping container, with nearly all seating outside. Standard bakery range. Loses a point for lazily serving its hot drinks in takeaway cups that can’t be recycled.”

  “We ordered an earl grey tea, coffee ice cream, and iced ginger lemon tea. The tea was fine, the coffee ice cream was great, tasty, and refreshing in the summer heat. The coffee shop is situated in a great location. The ginger lemon tea had quite a bit of ginger in which was unpleasant (personally). I would definitely go again and try a different drink and get the coffee ice cream!”
